H0uL10N's DEBUT VICTORIOUS.
Sturdy Aroostookers Down kennebeckers BY
Score OF IL TO 5.

Nine husky ball players from the
land Of the best potatoes and dressed
in natty gray suits stepped onto the
college field at O'Clock yesterday al
ternoon, to try conclusions with Water
Vile When they stepped off the score
was II to in their favor and Water
Vile was thinking that the game is not
played with potato balls up in Areas
took after all Houlton has good
team. Waterville had a strong ag-
gregation in the uniform, but it was no
match for the visitors. They usually
have the best up in AroostOok. any
way, and the team that was seen, yes
terday, is what might be expected
when they go in for base ball. There is
lots of snap and ginger in the team
and it has d good knowledge of the game
stored away in its baggage among the
bats and mitS. 1t is one OF the strong
est hitting teams that has been up
against Waterville this season. There
doesn't seem to be q really poor batter
on the team. Almost any one of the
nine is capable of making a hit when
it is needed.
In fielding the visitors We're not SO
very superior to the home team. In
fact they came out one ahead in the
error column Two of these We're made
by Rawson. Just think of that. This
player is pretty familiar with the Colby
diamond and his spikes have scratched
the sand between second and third
more than once. Perhaps it was the
memory of the days when he was
learning base ball that caused him to
make those errors. Perhaps he wanted
to help out Waterville for the sake of
cd times: but however it may have
been, he made the errors and they
were bad ones. too. Just easy little
grounders fumbled. that was all. Then
he struck out once. That. too. was very
unusual for him. But every player has
an off day and no one can get em all.
Wallis was another familiar face
above the gray. He has played few
games on the Colby field and has worn
the Waterville uniform. Moores was
another man remembered here. Me-
thinks his toe has dug into the hole
in the pitchers box in days gone by.
He was on third yesterday. and loom
ed up in fine style. Carrigan has also
been seen here but not as much as the
other men. Houlton has the reputation
OF Being only inferior to Lewiston and
Portland of the New England League
in the State. and the reputation is well
sustained. 1t is an aggregation of good,
clean, snappy ball players
