Baseball Notes.
The Portland team Will arrive bone
today and be ready for the game tomor-
row with the Murphy Balsams. MIR.
Murphy has imported few players
from Massachusetts, and will present a
strong team.
Manager Clarity of Lewiston has ac-
cepted the terms of Pitcher John Kelly,
who last season was with Pawtuoket.
Mr.. Clarity is also doing business with
Pitcher Henry Killeen and expects to
get him. He has also heard from Morse
and he will return to Lewiston If he can
get away from Scrutop.
Manager Long received a telegram,
Wednesday. from George Weekes who,
1t will be remembered, pitched some
good games for Augusta, last year.
Weekes says he wants to play in Augusta
this summer. Mr.. Long is in CORES
pondenoe with three new men, oil of
whom have been strongly recommended
to him ~ John Irwin. One is Hapdiboe,
the crack I'd baseman of the Virginia
league. Another is catcher named
Mahoney, who is now under contract
with the Taunton, Mass, club, but if
satisfactory inducements are made,
will get release and come to Augusta.
Arthur Fogarty also of the Taunton
club, crack outfelder, is also in view
for the team, and will doubtless be a
great acquisition.
John Irwin went I'D to Brockton the
other day and tried to get Hickey's re-
lease from Brookton, but got no satisfac-
ton.
Rain prevented the Portland Brockton
game yesterday.
The Irons play the Saoos at Saeo Me-
mortal Day.
Pitcher Williams was given trial
with Toronto at Brookton Wednesday
and gave an excellent account OF hismelf.

knocked out of the box and saved she
