MAINE and BOWdoin was pulled off at
Maplewood park, Saturday, resulting
in a victory for the former team bv
| Il score of to l. As each team was
credited with Il game, the contest for
baseball hOnOrs, Saturday, gave prom
Use of lots of excitement, for the out
come would determine as to which was
the superior team.
| The day was all that could be hoped
| for and as Bangor has not been nro-
Vlded with a superiority Of baseball
exhibitions, this year, ere the hour of
the game arrived the big grand stands
and bleachers We're well filled. Here
ana there blue or white pennant sig
nlhed knot of Bowdoin or Irniyer-
slty OF Maine sympathiZers and there
were many Of each, as the prestige in
Bangor is about equally divided be-
| tween these two colleges. Maine had
OF course the largest number Of sup
rorters. rs nearly the entire student
| body turned out.
| The game was of intense interest
| and although the playing by both
| teams was erratic at times, provided
enough excitement to suit the most
| faStidious fan. As the score shows.
| Maine won by Il small margin. but it
| was rather on account of poor coach
\ ing or rather Il lack of coaching and
poor judgment at critical points rather
| than good playing on the part of her
| adVersaries, that Il larger score was
| prevented.
Mitchell took charge of the pitching
| department for Maine, while Cakes.
VINO has in times past proved an enig-
| ma which the I. of NJ. mightieS could
| not solve, served in that capacity for
| BoWdoin. But this time it was Mitchell
| that proved to be the picture puzzle
whom the BoWdoin slashers were I'M
| able TO find.
Mitchell was unable to find STAN
woods alley in any part of the game
| and long hit in the Sth inning which
turned out to be 4 home run instead
| of double as it should have been if
Thatcher and Holmes had got active
! instead of doing the Alphonso CASTOR
| act in deep field, saved Rowdoin from
| 4 shut out. However. on the whole it
was a good game and the big crowd
was well satisfied

Maine lost the toss and Bowdoin took
the field. Holmes was the first man up.
| He allowed two strikes to be called on
