thinning Game at Watervil|e,
Wednesday Afternoon.

Championship for 1899.
Colby is Second. Bates Third. and Bowdoin
in The Rear.

Hathaway, in the 18th inning, bringing
in the winning run. Although Their,
were an unusual number Of error;
made, yet the game did not lack in
terest from the start to the finish.
Captain Pulsifer Of the Bates team
has protested the game on the ground
that there was no agreement between
the captains of the teams as to who
should run for Hathaway i'll the 1lth
lining. There was an agreement that
somebody should run but it was not
decided who. Fog ran for Hathaway
and scored the winning run.
Even should the protest be allowed it
will make no difference in the standing.
University Of Maine winning the cham
pionship, with Colby second, Bates
third, and Bowdoin fourth.
There was some delay in starting the
game on account Of Umpire Donovan
not arriving until the express. Even
after he did arrive the rain poured
down in such totreiits that it looked as
thought the Gamc would have to BE-
postponed. In the mean tim" the
teams Were practicing on the field and
there was no one who was willing to
predict the result. All felt that Colby
ought to win, having beaten out Bates
in the previous game. There was how
ever. feeling that the Bates men had
an ace tucked up their sleeve, which
was liable to come down after the men
had been playing long enough for the
Colby boys to loose track of the 18th
card.
Colby's errors We're very costly. much
more 50 than those Of Bates and had il
not been for those errors the game
would have been decided before thu
game had reached the II inning stage.
In measure the wet ground and 4
consequent slippery bail were RESPONSE
Bic for part Of the errors but several
of the most costly were simply inabil-
ity to land the bail at critical times.
Pulsifcr, whom tho colby men
dreaded to see in thc box, did not prove
such terror aftcr am although h"
played 4 markahIy goou game. New
enham and Dearborn both played
splendid ga nos, the former accepting
every one of the 10 chances offered
him.
Bates was first nj the bat and Dranc
