doin-Rates championship game, yestor-
day afternoon.
The Gods had decreed Il perfect day:
il was ideal weather for the nlaya~s
and ideal weather for the spectators.
The Bates field in Lewiston, however.
was thought to be too heavy on which
to play, 50 the game had been adver-
tised for \. y. a. Park at Auburn.
As early as go o'clock the grand
stand vas quito filled with the en-
thusiastic student body from Bates,
and the Bates supporters. 1t WAS Il
day for white gowns, and the fair
goods from the Lewiston college in
their white and garnet made a pic
turesque scene. The college yells ANA
SONGS liVened the affair.
At "a O'Clock the Bowdoin contin-
gent headed by its nattily uniformed
band marched on the field TO the tune
of EoWdoin's lively Phi Iii" The
Bowdoin boys bought up the bleachers
and from the time they took their
places until the last ball was pitched
they kept up a concOurse of college
cheers and Bowdoin songs that fitting
ly betokened the support they were
lending their plucky team.
Umpire Hassett of Portland, called
Play BALI sharp at 5 o'clock. White,
BowGoin's star short stop. stepped to
the plate. Pitcher Does first ball was
a big one for White, who sent a red hot
liner to short stop. Wight, who FUN
bled it and before he connected it With
first White was safe. Stone found the
sphere for little grourder to pitcher,
but he was out. Next came Clark with
three strikes, and then Cox with Il
high fly which Austin clinched deep i'll
center fell.
