GEN. HOYT WAS PLEASED.

In an interview with the Lewiston
Journal, Gen. +. l.. Hoyt, the inspector
general OF the Governors staff, Is quot
ed as saying;
II was very much interested In my
recent visit to the naval brigade at Port
land. To me it was little Of some
thing new under the sun. The drill was
in the great auditorium. The code Of
signals employed is the same as they use
at sea. sent three messages by the code
service to the opposite end of the build
ing and the messages Were interpreted
and returned to me without flaw. l
was surprised in the test which followed
to find so small percentage of mac
curacies. 1 was also interested in the
bugle sound signals. These are also read
with scarcely q single mistake. This
summer thu boys are to be taken off to
sea In one of the government warships,
where they will be given full charge OF
the ship and where they will have a
chance to see the practical working of
what they have learned indoors. 1t is
not to be wondered at that the boys con
nected with the brigade are greatly in
terested in the work. wish that we
might have more to interest the land
forces Of the National Guard. This is
impossible with the limited amount of
money at our disposal. Massachusetts,
is very liberal In the matter, furnishing
field da Us and other attractions for the
men. With what money we have TO do
with we make good showing. We could
do better II we had more.

The roll of efficient btishmen volunteer

their anxiety to learn something Of the

BASEBALL TODAY.
II the day is fine two large crowds will
go out to see the ball games. Bates and
Tufts college played tie game last week
and this morning at ten O'Clock will de-
eide which team Is the stronger. Both
teams are in fine shape and are putting
up great ball. The morning game Is at
ten O'Clock.
At three in the afternoon the old time
foot ball rivals, p. A. G. and Bowdoin
college will meet. The Athletic club has
got together the strongest team it has had
yet, and the thing to remember is that
every player on the team is Portland
boy, pitcher and all. When nine of Port
lands best ball players get together 1t Is
doubtful II any college in Maine will win
from them. Following is the make up of
the two teams:
Bowdoin-Pratt, pitcher; Clark, short
stop; Nevers, left field; Hoyt, second
base; Trainor, catcher Bacon, first base;
Harkins, third base; Dana, center field;
Pottle, right field.
