political clubs in this vicinity was the
field day held at the base ball ground
under the auspices of the local Socialist
club.

traction of the day was base ball game
between the Farmers, captained by
Mr.. R G. Henderson, superintendent
of the Indian Spring Wooden MIL, and
the Hooligans, captained by Mr.. L II.
spear, manger of the local telephone
central. Both teams were composed of
we'll known citizens.
The Farmers appeared in tall hats,
swallow tail coats and cowhide boots
with their pants tucked in. The Hooli-
gans with paint on their faces and many
different costumes presented an equally
ludricous appearance The game was
called to oroer at two o'clock Z. M.
with MIR. w. II. Collins as umpire, In
the third lining foul was knocked by
one of the Hooligans which was caught
by one of the crowd as the catcher WAS
unable to reach it.

upon such a decided protest was made
that Mr.. Collins was told to leave and
Mr. Il. II. Spear was substituted. AT
three O'CLOCK recess was taken to
allow game between the skowhegans
and the Great Northern Paper Makers.
The score was II to in favor of the
Papermakers. After this game the
Farmers and Hooligans continued their
contest, AT six o'clock as both sides
were evenly matched, it was decided to
call it tie game to be played off at
some future date. 1t is estimated that
over a thousand people were in attend
ance. The numerous local hits kept
the crowd in a gale Of merriment, the
whole afternoon About $50 was clear
ed for the benefit of the Socialists.
