During August the season at Hancock
Point will be at its height. Tie first
week saw more gayety and more activity
than for years past, aside from numerous
society events. VI
Inc golf tournament In the form of the
visitors' handicap was neld on Saturday
morhing and afternoon on the club links.
The exhibition OF some twenty PLAYERS
was exciting and interesting. The morn
ing play ended with match between
Mrs. f. Lewis Clark, of Spokane, Wash,
and Mrs. E. B. Bowen, of Newton Center,
Mass. Mrs. Clark won by comfortable
margin. In the final round, however,
Mrs Bowen defeated Mrs. Clark, winning
the tournament and lady's prize. W. Lo-
gan MacCoy, OF Bryn Mawr, Penn, won
the gentleman's cup. Another tourna-
ment will be held later.
The baseball season promises to be
successful also. On Monday two game
were played on the home grounds. The
visiting clubs were teams from the U. s.
s. Massachusetts" and the U. s. s.
Alabama. A warship series for game
every day during the week was cancelled
by Admiral Sands, owing the departure
OF tue ships on Wednesday and Thursday.
The next game will be with franklin on
Saturday afternoon at 2 O'clock. Already
more than usual interest is being centred
in the outcome of the game, which will
probably draw the largest crowd of the
season, several out-of town parties in
tending to attend.
Franklin has the best team In the
county, but with Havey IN the box and
Capt. Bowen in field, the home team ex-
poets to be Bile at least to make it inter
esting for the visitors.
The "Massac husetts" game was the first
to be played Monday afternoon, and was
simply repetition OF the game OF week
ago, the massachusetts," going down to
defeat by the same score OF I to Each

game, recalling past games in which Mr..

The citizens along the eastern shore saw

landed. having rowed from East Lamoine,
where their snip was coaling. Being first
at the bat, three runs we're made after two
were out and doubtful and unsstisfac-
tory decision concerning the third put
out. Hancock scored but one.
The game with the alabama" was
perhaps the best seen on the home
grounds this season. At the end of five
exciting innings, enlivened with several
brilliant plays, the game was called so as
to give the marines time enough to reach
the ship before their hour to report for
duty.
Havey pitched creditable game. The
end was extremely exciting. With two
men out and the bases full, Capt. Bowen
came to the hst; excitement ran high and
the crowd rose to its feet and cheered for
Capt. Bowen, but before the captain was
able to pound out one OF his famous
home runs at a critical moment, ALA
bama" centre fielder crept up behind
Newcomb, who had good lead off second.
The ball was quickly fielded and New.
comb was out, and the game was over.
Score: alabama" 3; Hancock Point /.
