The baseball game. Wednesday after
noon, with Wiscasset, proved to be the
most interesting thus far this season. The
game was in doubt until the end of the
twelfth inning when the visitors made the
deciding run. The result caused much
hilarfty among the Wiscasset ''rooters"
If Pratt had remained in the box through
the game it would probably have ended in
victory for Squirrel, to O. Foss was
effective after the first inning he pitched
when Wiscasset made three runs, the
first during the contest. Grant, Hendee,
Perkins and Matthews played the best
ball for the home team
