AN EXCITING GAME.
PettengiII Corners Defeat North Vas
salboro Team, Eight to Seven.

One of the most exciting ball games of
the season was played. Saturday, at the
Corner grounds, with the North NasSal-
huro A. A., and resulted in victory for
the Corner team. While the score was
n little too close to make the onlooknrS
feel comfortable, it made all the more cN-
element; and to those who came away
before the fifth inning with the idea that
the Corners would not score, will have to
recall that old saying, Everything comes
to him who waits" Things looked du-
bious in the fifth inning, when the score
was t. in favor of the visitors, and it
looked as if our ban toSSerS from NaSSal
hero had come down to peddle goose eggs
to the Corner team; but Johnson made UP
his mind they would have to find Il mar
kct elsewhere and for the next four inn
ings he twisted the ball over the plate
with such rapidity that it made even
his catcher stand ready to dodge, and
an Old fellow ON the bleachcrs said that
it fairly whistled Take me back to the
green fields Of VaSSaIboru" From tho
nfth inning only two of the visitors got
to first base while in the NTH ami sixth
the Corners hit Martin mp for four return
tickets each inning, making the SCGrc to
in favor Of tho Corners. The next three
innings was; a pitchers. battle and was
one, two. three order The summary:

Capt. Andrew Wyman of the tug A.
r. Kappella, who is we'll known to Au-
gusta lumbermen and all along the
Kennebec had very narrow escape
from death, last Wednesday, on Green
leafs shore, Westport. The Bath Times
of Saturday, said. in speaking of the af-
fair. that Capt. Wyman, with three OF
his crew, was engaged on a high pile of
logs and just started to break out when
the logs started suddenly and rolled
toward the men. 1t was an exciting
race for the water for men and logs He
was not quite as spry as the others and
was caught and thrown down and one
of the heavy logs fell on him. The log
pinned him down for an instant and in
doing SO. ripped off his vest and sus-
penders- He was then thrown into the
water. Mr.. Greenleaf and James Spin
ney, who were on the shore and wit
messed the accident, We're more than
surprised that all the quartet
escaped. Captain Wyman received
severe. bruises across the back and
chest. but was satisfied to es-
cape with his life. 1t was the most mar
row squeeze he ever experienced in his
40 years of handling logs on the Ken
nebec river. He has been IS years In
the tug Kappella and is one Of the
best known and popular log handlers on
the river.
