| Brunswick Me, May li-CSpeciaD.~
Bowdoin was again successful in base
ball, Saturday afternoon. when she de-
feat.d the University of Maine by a score
of to 3. A week ago she beat this same
! team at Orono, and since this time the
Maine team has been doing some Of the
hardest kind of practicing. II arrived az
Brunswick confident of winning the game,
Saturday.
The BOwdoin team was greatly weak
ened by the absence of Captain Bacon,
who dislocatel his shoulder in the game
of a week ago To make matters wroSe,
the University Of Maine protested against
the playing of Pennell of the Medical
school, who has been playing first base
the whole season. on the ground that he
had played four seasons on the Bates
team before entering the Medical school
al Bowdoin and thus was ineligible for
the Bowaoin team on account OF the
league rule which says that no man shall
play more than four years on any var
sity team. After comforting with the
University of Maine management, Mana
ger Whitney decided not to play Pennell.
Lane 60 was put on the bag and played
strong game, making several beautiful!
pickupS ana also cracking out clean hlI.
Harlins, Med, another new man, was
on third. He Is very quick and played
pretty game in the field. but was rather
weak n the hat. Turner. Med. who has
been doing most Of the catching this sea-
son, was in center field and put up :
great game. He made one of the prettiesI
running catches Of low line hit ever
seen on the grounds, and besides this,
knocked a beautiful home run. w. b
Clark, SO, captain Of last falls foot bali
| team, was in right field. He had no
chances in the field, but at the bat he
made TWO pretty hits.
The greatest share of the credit Of win
ming the game belongs 10 Pratt, 1901, who
did the pitching. He allowed the men
from Orono but seven hits. His work this
season has been of the highest order.
Last week he held this same Maine team
down to I'VE hits. At the bat he wa
also strong. making two clean hits at
times when hits meant runs.
For the University of Maine, Davis
made the strongest showing a the bat
with three hits. bur was rather weak in
the field. Webb in left field caught some
very pretty flies and showed himself TO be
the catcher. made i three-base hit ana
