"Walter-loo'lon Thursday, but has steadi'

a day. Yesterdays was the third in sue
cession John Smiths talent has won by
= run and was really the best played and
most enjoyable of the trio. There were
errors, but none of those exasperating
misplays which would have made some
people cross II the SCORE sheet hadn't
balanced up right
The visitors had man working for
them in the box by name of Eagan, whom
we have some cause to remember as the
youth who kept US away from our supper
the second game Of the season while we
he had our 400 and 800 hitters gauged
even better than he did before, and had
it not been for the very nice job Mr.. Mil
Ter did for us, the result might not have
struck US for SO favorably. Much credit
is due Miller for winning the game, but
he scared in one inning and let the visit.
ors get start on us. This display of

scored once In the second. Conroy gets
the credit for this run on the books,
though7he couldn't have helped taking it.
He reached first because Zaeder dropped
the ball after Flaherty had thrown it at
him. Curtis let one go past him, and
the Giant strobe to second. A mistake
in signals made another passed ball and
Mr.. Giant tagged third base and then the
plate.
The misfortunes of the third all came
after two were out and everyone sup
posed the running was over. Miller even
started for the bench. Alas, many Things
happened before he was really permitted
to walk to his seat and stay there.
Fortune hid her face when loft dropped
a twisting foul from Glenn's bat. The
young man took advantage of this lesion
on lofts part, SO to speak, and hit to
left field for one sack.
Then Miller stepped into the breach and
filled the bags with bad balls. Murphy
laid one over the track for double and
two runs came in. Mcmahon singled
and the visitors raised their ante two
more AT this junoture Peter realized
what had happened and Istruck Richie
out.
But the visitors had to have all their
fun in this inning After that our man
Peter put in a little more powder and
only one man got beyond second base for
the rest Of the game. In the fourth he
retired the side on three pitched balls.
Our toilers scored once in the fourth,
went out one, two, three in the fifth. and
in the sixth whipped up and took the
pole again. Noblit was first up and lost
the ball under left field fence for a
homer. CounihAn flied out, and Smith
accepted free transportation to first.
He was forced out at second ON Sulli-
vans hit to Glenn. Patrick Conroy,
giant, was nov up, and he hadn't
made his safety for this game. Patricius
caught it for three sack drive, and
Sullivan came in.
Glenn fumbled lofts bunt and Con-
roy scorsd the run which gave us the
lead and as 1t proved, the game. Clark
flied out to Smith, and the tally sheet
was sealed book for the remainder of
the afternoon. Counihan pulled one out
of the air in the ninth with one hand
which was very pretty to see, and on the
whole played his position about as 1t
ought to be. Sullivan got couple on
his shins, but after that did nicely and
made one especially brilliant pick and
throw. Clark telded his position splendid
ly. in fact our inileld acted more like its
old time self than it has for some time.
Spratt had most of the work to do in the
outdeld and took some very hard ones.
Today we engage the Cambridge team
for couple of games and then shoulder
our bats for an invasion OF the unknown
and untried tracts to the south. The
score:
PORTLAND.
