The kennebeckers Tell Sweet Story
to Androscoggin F'rienas.

Bates College, Lewiston, Me-, May G.
peciaD.-Colby and Bates crossed
bats, today, for the first Intercollegiate
game to be played on Garcelon field.
this year The diamond was in perfect
condition for playing, but the threaten
ing sky probably detained many who
would otherwise have witnessed the
game. The crowd therefore was small.
Since the accident at Orono. last Sat
urday, the home team has felt seriously
handicapped. Austin, the trappy fresh
man, who plays second returned to col
lege today, from Newton, N. H., where
he had been called by the illness of his
parents, and was in his old place in the
game.
In the preliminary practice, Cowing,
Colby's catcher. received a ball in the
head. thrown by Pugsley. 1t seemed
70" few minutes as if the accident
was of a serious nature, as Cowing was
taken wholly unprepared. Fortunately
the blow was a glanclng one and Cow
ing was soon on his feet, sending the
ball across the field in as pretty prac-
tice as ever was seen on Garcelon field.
The Bates bows also showed up exceed
ingly well in practice.
The game was called at 3.03 P. NJ,
with Colby at the bat, Towne in the
box. Abbott struck out, Coombs found
the ball. but not the first Cowing sent
4 foul strike into left field, then struck
out and Bates was at the bat, Vail in
the box.
Austin was the first Bates man to the
bat; he found the ban for a foul, but
struck out. Allen found the second ball
sent over the plate, sent it for a good
hit far into right field and gained third
base. Stone, the third man up, struck
out, Buchanan found the ball, but lost
the base. Is. league put a good one to
center, which Russell missed, Keene
followed. gaining second, and giving
league second. Pugsley let league in,
but lest first. j. league struck out.
Score: Colby, 1; Bates, 0.
Common, struck out. Nichols found
the ball for a grouider, but was put
out on first. Mack followed with the
same result. Score: Colby, /; Bates, O.
Craig gained first easily. Abbott
found ToWne's curve, but lost first on
grounder. Coombs sent a good one to
Buchanan, who fumbled, and Craig
came home, while Coombs found sec
ond. Cowing sent out to right field
gaining second, while Coombs came
home. B. league lost in grounder
