lively grounder to Newenham. Score:

Eighth inning-Blair was out, short
to first, and Higgins singled and Davis
doubled, and the question before the
meeting house was whether Higgins
could score. The odds were about even,
perhaps favoring Higgins a Bit, but
lie could not do it, for right here came
the prettiest play of the game, con-
sidered strictly from a baseball stand
point-a relay play. The ball was
fielded to NORWOOD in less time than
it takes to tell of it and then Worm
wood laced it to Driscoll-not a toss or
an ordinary throw, but handsome
line, straight as an arrow. right into
Dri3coll's waiting mit-and Higgins
was out. 1t was not an important play,
for the game did not hinge on it-but it
was interesting really the prettiest
play of the day. Hence we mention it.
Pugsley struck out. For Winthrop, Ed
mond was out to Arata, Driscoll was
out to center and Huntington was out,
pitcher to first. Score: HalloweU, 2;
Winthrop, 0.
The Embarrassing ninth inning-The
Halloweli COW bells, dinner bells, sleigh
bells, fish horns, dinner horns and fog
horns were sounding merrily, and
you couldn't hear yourself think. They
thought the game was won. They had a

also cause the silent Winthrop bells
and horns to awaken from a sad, sad

this WY. After Arata, Sparks and

He waited patiently and was rewarded
by four balls. Shortly after he made

Then Stanwood reached first on an err
ror by Pugsley and shortly after came
double steal. Irish sent one to Mr..
ManiN and he missed it, and Roach
came back "home." This improved the
situation for Winthrop, but the game
WAS not won. Lots Of things must hap
pen before that could be true, but
they were coming. NORWOOD came
UP. ard he was hit. and the bases were
full. 1t was York's turn and he began to
hunt for the ball. He sent one into the
sChoolhouse yard that we have already
mentioned and then that one along
first base, which has also been men
toned. And then he sent it out TO CEN

and then Stanwcod and Irish capered

was won. The summary:

the Hallowell team is playing fast ball
even If their following is little siren

The Gardiner team lost three games
during the week to Augusta and from
being the leaders of the list, by a big
margin they fall to 4 close second, be-
ing at present one game behind the Au-

that Kane the best pitcher of the Car

three games to the August team. Gar

that they will make the series between

Benefits of Mulchino.

One of the little things we can easily

any time of year to good advantage.
Almost any kind of loose trash OF :,
vegetable character can be used Straw,

cotton seed are all good. The last
two must be used with caution. for they
are usually rich in nitrogen and may be
too strong for the tender rootlcts in the
top Of the soil. l have seen sponge clip
pings used in the bahama Islands with
excellent results about orange, pomclo
and other trees.
One of the main benefits of mulch
ing is that the moisture is held in the
soil. II not only keeps the soil moist
but cool, the direct rays of the soil be
ing kept from it. This is .pust what

HYPNOJ.SM FOR HABIT.
Used in the Treatment Of Drunkenness
and Morphine Craving.
CNew York Medical Journal.)

Beraznitsky strongly advocates the en-
ployment of hypotism in the treatment OF
drunkenness, the morphine and tobacco
habits. The author argues that there are
no drugs which can be hoped to cure these
habits. and that modern medicine has
found the most efficient means of combat
ing them by means of mental suggestion.
In connection with alcoholism and the
combat against it in various countries, he
mentions the prohibition laws existing III
some Of our states. but adds that such
laws would be impossible in European e
American states which prohibit the sale
of liquor rightly calculate that the loss in
revenue which is entailcd by such laws is
compensated to the state by the increased
hcalthfuness of the population. On the
other hand the government monopoly OF
the liquor traffic as 1t exists in some coun-
| tries &c. g., Russia not only does not
diminish the evil. but prevents its prop
er control. He advocates the establish
mcnt of outdoor services where alcoholics
can be treated hypnotically and of san;t
toria. etc, where the worst cases can be
confined for a time also under hypnotic
| treatment. AS regards the treatment of
the tobacco habit he advises that tobacco
ment is begun No bad effects result from
such a sudden removal of this drug as are
noted in the case of opium. HypnotiSn
| easily cures the tobacco habit. bUt the
cures are not often permanent, us smok-
crs resume the habit more easily than
other drug habitucs. They do not regard
this nahit as seriously as do morphine
eaters. The re suit o: treatment with hyp-
nOtism in alcoholics have been V,riOuSlN
stated at from 20 to 50 per cent. of cures.
The author thinks that - per cent Is the
correct estimate. ard that the high figures
given by some observers arc due TO on
thusiaSm over new method of treat
ment. But even 50 per cont. of cures is Il
satisfactory result in alcoholism. n condi-
