Boston Defeats Chicago.
After waiting two long and weary
months, hepeople in Portland who are
willing to give up quarter now and then
for the privilege of seeing something up
to date in the line of baseball, were given
an opportunity yesterday as far as
weather is concerned. The sun got up
smiling and for the greater part of the
day favored this poor -bedraggled
corner of the globe with it's beaning
presence. The weather was all right, but
as if to show how grateful he was to the
sun for shining and to encourage the five
or six HUNDRED people who paid their
money to see a ball game Captain Delaney
of the Augustus proceeded to make the
whole thing farce before the play had
well begun. The upshot of it was that the
game was forfeited to Portland and an
inane exhibition game. followed, which
probably no one on the grounds would
have crossed the street to see, indeed the
greater part of the crowd left after an in
ming or two. st
The game opened promptly at three
O'Clock with Miller in the box for Port
land and McCarthy for the visitors. The
two teams were tied for the lead, the
people were there en- masse, the sun shone,
interest was intense, in fact all the signs
were ripe for battle royal on the ball
field
Coughlin inaugurated proceedings by

out, Houle flied out to Fogarty and Rous-
sey was given free pass to first.
We are next introduced to Captain
Beasie McGuirk, the tall sycamore of the
Wabash, (short AZ as he himself would
say. Beasie patted the ball gently on the
cheek, and the way it got through the
June breezes was most inspiring. The
ball landed somewhere in the road, but
not until all hands had scored.
Augusta registered one tally in the first.
the principal cause being three bases on
balls given by Miller.
Portland got the score back with one
more for luck, its next turn.
| Augusta also made couple in the
! second and the third inning began with
the score 5 to 8 in favor of Portland
Roussey was first man up and drew four
bad ones. McGuirk drove one into the
air for Handiboe Polhemus was hit and
now comes Jack Burns to drive the party
in. Mccarthy sent one wide of the plate
and Brady called it, The next came close
and Jack offered at it. The next was
wide, but Pitcher Mccarthy thought it
ought to be called. Another came. 1t
was at least foot from the plate, but
Mccarthy objected again to it being
called ball, and forthwith Captain
Delaney came in and proceeded to make
a "holler." Delaney Of course could Judge
about as well of balls and strikes from
where he stood as if he had been over the
fence, but that didn't prevent him put
ting up the most absurd and indecent
kick ever see on the Portland grounds.
Umpire Brady ordered him back to the
base and walked away but the player fol-
| lowed him.
| Finally he was ordered to the bench
and as there was no one to put in his
place except pitcher the Augustus de-
clined to go on and the game was forfeited
to Portland.
Afterwards an exhibition game was
played, but that hardly satisfied the
people who paid Ito seq ball playing.
The score of the exhibition game was as
follows: Attendance 500.
