DEAD AT LAST.
Complication of Many Diseases Kill:
the Ball Team.

The ball team has disbanded. It's
final, this time, for there doubtless ISM
a third set of hackers that will be will
ing to take it up now, and the second
set have enough. It's not wholly on
account Of the two drubbings that have
just been received from Fairfield, al
though of course they have had some
thing to do with it. The chief reason
has been the unwillingness or inability
of some of the men to do their share.
The hackers could not do it all and they
expected the men to help them to the
best of their ability, and several of
them have done this but others have
not. either because they couldn't or be-
cause they wouldn't. Some think the
former and more the latter.
II the team bad lost games after a
nard honest fight the hackers would
have been satisfied, but to simply
throw them away as it has evidently
been done is too much. The team was
not expected to play up to the standard
fixed at the beginning of the season,
but it was expected to come somewhere
near it. and as it hasn't done it except
in one game the hackers have had
enough.
The games with Fairfield, Friday and
Saturday. would have been played in
the face of sure defeat if there had
been any show of making good fight,
but no one is willing to stand for any
more burlesQues like that of yesterday.
The team was without a pitcher, as
both Mcconnell and Phelan would have
been unable to pitch and Donovan S
size had been taken too accurately to
allow him to go in against Fairfield
again. A pitcher might have been Sc
cured but it would hardly have been
worth while just for two games.
SO it was considered best to drop out
right now and call it season rather
than to make a farce of the remaining
week or two. So the team is no more
and if any place is looking for good
players there are some here out of a
job. First come first served. Speak
up prompt and get your pick.

COOPERATIVE GROCERIES.
Association Organized and Store of W.
M. Lincoln E. Co. Purchased

j. S. Clark. general organizer for the
Cooperative Association of America
was in the city, yesterday. to inspect
the work that had been done here
towards starting a cooperative grocery
store, and was well satisfied with the
beginning that had been made. He
left, last evening, in company with
Sperry II. Locke for Lisbon Falls
where a meeting of those interested in
the scheme will be held.
An association has been formed here
with Jesse Stinson as president, George
A. kennison, manager, d. p. Foster
clerk, and Sperry II. Locke, treasurer
The store on lower Main street has
been purchased of w. NJ. Lincoln &,
CO., and the experiment will be tried
there. 1t is understood also that
options have been secured on two other
grocery stores in the city.
The cooperative plan has been tried
in one other city in the State, Lew
listen. and also in Sabattus, and its
trial here in Waterville will be watched
with considerable interest. The plan
is well liked in England, where it is
well grounded. and has had more or
less success III this country.

King, the first baseman and Nolan,
the shortstop, were not out of a jop
very long as they Were hired by Bel
fast almost in an hour after the team
had been disbanded and will join the
team, today. King has made an un-
usually fine reputation on his base
with Watervilie, this year, and his
fielding average is very high. He has
also been smashing the ball in fine
style of late. Waterville has taken
unusual interest in him as he was with
the team, last year, and the only man
who held over. His Improvement. this
wear, has been very marked and he
certainly gives promise of being ex-
cellent material for the New England
or other big leagues, next year. He
is all sand and ginger, and aside from
his fine playing is very comfortable
man to have in suit. Then he is
ALWAYS a gentleman on the field or OIL,
and Waterville will wish him the best
OF success wherever he goes. Nolan
has beer here a much shorter time,
coming from the New England, but lie
too is a favorite. He has done good
work for Waterville all through and
is a good strong player Belfast GER
tainly showed good judgment.

FAIRFIELD PUTS ON THE LIME.
PLAYS Fine Game While Watervillc
Sleeps and Wins 10 to o.

Fairfield put on the whitewash, yes
terday 1t was a beautiful coat, regu-
lar. nice and thick and white. the
score was 10 to 0 and the Fairfield peo-
ple who saw the game never had a
better time in all their lives. They
rubbed it into the players and what
Waterville people they could find. They
yelled and laughed and cheered until
they were as hoarse as bull frogs just
out of the mud in the spring, and Wa
terville could only grin and think oil
days gone by. But it's the last licking
that Fairfield will have the pleasure OF
administering this season, for the wa
terville team is dead and peace be to
its ashes. At a meeting, last evening,
the accounts were squared up and the
season closed for good.
The game, yesterday, started with
Mcconnell in the box for Waterville
He said he was sick before the game
| and didn't want to go in. Phelan's arm
was so sore he couldn't throw ball
without making a grimace and IT was
| a question of which man could pitch
with the least pain. Mcconnell got II
and for five innings pitched fine ball
holding the villagers down to four hits

with dull thud. In this inning Fair

A man got left at this station, the
other night, in rather Il funny manner.
He was sleeping when the train arriv-
ed here and awoke just as it was pull
ing out of the station. To his sleep
blurred eyes the station looked like
Brunswick and he hustled off the train
as rapidly as he could. One glance at
the station sign showed him his mis-
take, and he made Il dash for the train
again, just missing it by few feet af-
ter a chase the length of the platform.
Getting left in Waterville is not so bad
as in some places, as the trains come
pretty thick, but the mistake cost him
severals hours of tedious waiting.
