HEBRON. 8; KICKER. 5.
Championship OF Colby Fitting Schools Goes
10 the Hebron Boys.

Waterville. Me-, May 2S.-(SpeciaD.-
Through the defeat of Kicker at the
college field. Saturday morning, Hebron
won the championship of the Colby fit
ting school base ball mines.
1t was very easy to learn at which
school the Colby students fitted from
the shouting. The Kicker graduates
were gathered in one corner of the
bleachers and the Hebron graduates at
the other, and the temperature Of the
game was denoted by the section from
which the roofing came.
The game was one Of the best school
games ever played in the city and was
anybody's game until the ninth in
ming when Hebron ran in three scores
and took the game There is slight
question THAI Kicker would have won

the fact that it panied him severely
all the time and required careful nurS-
ing when not actually playing, he stuck
to the box and up to the ninth pitched
a star game. with G.. Mooers behind
the bat Kicker had battery the equal
of nearly any college battery in the
State.
Akers started in the box for Hebron
but was replaced by Glover in the fifth.
Hebron then settled down to work and
played an unusually good game.

port, Saturday Afternoon.

Through a series of handicaps the
defeated at Freeport, Saturday in
game with the Freeport High School
team, by a score of Is to s. The game
was played on a diamond that is far
from being the fast diamond upon
which the boys practice. it being in
pasture. Then another cause was the
use of a Harwood ball. The Harwood
ball is one that is extremely lively,
great deal more so than the Wright *
Ditson. which the league voted TO use,
and which has been used heretofore,
this season. A hit that with Wright
& Ditson will be safe one, Will, with
a Harwood, be a high fly. The COny
boys connected fairly well but they
knocked so many flies that they We're
easily put out. The Cony man
agernent say they have protest
ed the game on account of this
Harwood ball, as it was voted at the
meeting of the managers to use the
Wright & Ditson in all league games.
The Cony boys had played two games
before in the week and had put forth
their best efforts in Fridays game to
defeat the Auburns, and they We're in
consequence not in the best of condi-
ton. Bessey, who had pitched both o:

on the other hand the Freeport team
had a fresh pitcher who had done no
work for the week and he had an out
curve with which several of the Cony
boys had trouble. especially Trask and
Murphy. Martin did the best batting
for Augusta, making four hits.
The fielding of the two teams was
about alike with good work mixed with
some that was doubtful. The Cony

Colby Weak at Bat and Unable TO Head Their
College Rivals.

WaterviIlc. Me, May 2S.-tSpcciaD.
-Colby's weakness in batting was in
large measure responsible for the loss
Of the league game with the Univer-
sty Of Maine nine, Saturday afternoon,
on the Colby college field. In spite Of
the discouraging prospects when the
Visitors had piled up so many runs
ahead, the Colby men were game, even
after two men were out in the ninth,
and stuck to the game for all there was
in it. The game was very pretty TO
watch and not a spectator left the
grand stand until the last man was
out.
Colby was weakened by the loss of
Farwell. who, on account of his in
tured hand, was not able to go behind

put Allen in the box. The two men
made good battery. Allen doing
much better work than any one anti
cipated.
The errors by Colby We're at critical
moments and as a general thing were
AT such times that the visitors had but
little difficulty in scoring. Haggerty at
first put up the best game he has
played this season. His base running
was one of the features.
In the first inning Pretto lead off
with a grounder out to second but was
nailed before he could reach first.
Palmer was given first on balls and

| Davis pegged little one out to Dear

Palmer had scored Davis was out at
second on Webb's drive to the infield
and Clark went out with the side by
! flying to center field
| Fogg took first for being hit by a
pitched ball, but stayed there Webb
flied out to Cushman and Newenham
to Livermore. Rice started like a
streak for first when Clark dropped the
ball on the third strike, but the ball
was flelded so quickly that he did not
reach the bag.
Until the fifth. the remainder of the
game was one of the prettiest which
has been seen on the local diamond
