Bowdoin Administers White
wash to University Of Maine.
Phenomenal Work Of Pitcher Coz
Does the Trick.
Allows But Two Hits-The Score,
3 to 0.

Orono. Me-, May 4.-(SpeciaD.-In a
GOOD. clean exhibition of baseball,
Howdoin succeeded in shutting out the
University of Maine, on Alumni field,
this afternoon.
Cox held the key to the combination
that puzzled the Maine players, ana
two hits with a total Of three, by
Mitchell, was all that could be squeezed
of his terrific delivery. Frost failed to
be invincible and was touched up for
a total of IL hits. which he kept fairly
well scattered. a couple of timely hits
and IN error in the fourth put Bowdoin
i'm the lead. Maine showed lack OF
practice and general team work.
With two out, Clark OF Bowdoln
found Frost for a double in the ilrst
inning, but died at second. as cox was
out on a swift grounder to Larrabee at
short. Maine was out in one-two-three
order on slow ground balls to the IN
field In the next two innings neither
side got farther than first base.
It was the fourth inning that was
Maine's undoirg. Wisgin. the first
man up, knocked a splendid single into
short right field. Gould was out on 4
fly to Larrabce. who. by the way, put
up an excellent game. today. Kins-
man found Frost for another single
into right field which Mcdonald la go
by, advancing both men another base.
The tail end of BowdOins batting order
was up but she violated every rule of
what-ought to- have-beeE and Piper
singled out a nice one ard sent it siz-
ZlinE over second. just out of Burns
reach. scoring Wiggin and Kinsm.in.
'rhis ended the scoring for BowdOin in
this inning. Hodgdon knocked a fly to
Collins and White a similar one 10 Lar
rabee. retiring the side.
For Maine the story of the first in
ming will suffice for the other eight.
Bow 1oin added another to her tally in
the sixth. kinsman struck out. Piper,
who surprised himself and everybody
else. today, knocked another clean one
into his favorite place in short right
field and stole second. He VAS pre-
scented with a pass home by Niolette,
who threw wild in attempting to catch
him. This concluded BowdCin's score
getting for the game.
Maine made a desperate attempt to
score in the ninth. Bradley was sent
to bat in place of Bird and. after foul
ing Il few hundred times struck out.
More cheers but less hope. Frost
knocked pretty one to Hodgdon. who
made a clean pickup and tossed it to
Wiggin for another out. Captain
Mitchell looked determined and with
him lay the last ray of Names hope.
Meeting the first ball fairly in the So
lar picks he sent it to daap center for
pretty double. 1t was a handsome
drive and the example to the rest of
pace was evidently too hot and Collins
was easily disposed of. Hodgdon to
Wiggin. The game was done and the
day lOst-lOst on account of lack of
ability to hit Jimmy" Cox. Il few in
divldual errors and general team work
Cox IL Il rare find and BOwdoin should
make the most of him. A man with an
arm like his i'm consideration with good
hard work and batting ability is not
picked up on every college diamond
and Bowdoin should give the credit of
today's glory to him and him alone.
For Maine Frost pitched fast bail
him. for at critical times he WIS cool
ness personified and today pulled out of
several bad holes when Il hit meant
runs.
