THE TROLLEY LEAGUE

Funds Now Going On.

The Trolley League is to be an as
sured fact. this summer. provided the
necessary funds for the starting of the
league on cash basis can be secured.
The managers of the several teams in
terested, Augusta, Hallowell, Gardi-
ner and Winthrop, have met and de-
cided on the formation of the league.
George s. Patterson of Hallowell, has
been elected president, and Irving o.
Gage of Winthrop. secretary of the as
sociation. and good. fast ball is a GER
tainty with these gentlemen at the
helm.
The rules Of play. signing Of players,
ETC., was discussed at length. at the
meeting, and although no definite
agreement was entered into. the infor-
NAL discussion of the prospect devel-
oped the fact that all present We're in
favor of no restriction on the price to
be paid players. except that they will
not draw from the American. National
and New England Leagues. The plans

A NEW BASEBALL,
Augusta Men Have What They Think
Is an Improvement.

s. Fl. Pullen and Col. O. N. Blacking-
ton of this city. have formed a co-part-
nership for tine manufacture of a new
type of baseball which, If successful
will stand good chance Of creating a
revolution in that line. The peculiar fea-
ture OF the ball is the cover. which is
the invention of Mr.. Pullen. This is
made of a single piece of skin. and the
only seam to he found on it is in one
place. where the cover is closed up after
being drawn over the bail; and this is
so treated that it presents as smooth a
surface as the rest Of the covering. The
skin with which the ball is covered is
shrunk on when raw. and so pulled
together that the opening left is not
over an inch in length. This is sewed
with gut. after which the ball is press.
ed until the covering is set. The cover
is not tanned until after 1t has been
placed on the ball. A patent on the COW
er has been applied for. and the gentle
men who are interested are engaged in
getting out some specimen balls, to
Show to dealers. The idea seems to be
practical. and those who have seen the
balls are of the impression that they
will be much more durable than the ball
now in use.

A Snappy Game Between Eatons and
kennebec Journal Team.

The baseball game between the teams
representing the Kennebec Journal and
the Eaton shoe factory. played late Sat
urday afternoon. though of short dura-
ton and attended by a small number of
spectators. was not lacking in enthusiasm
and fast playing. AS soon as the High
school game was completed. the cations
and X. ]. teams got busy. and from that
time until the light began to wane the
game was fought with a snap and dash
that showed the stuff these teams are
made up of. Although lack Of practice

PICKED TEAM WON.
Defeated Pettingili Corner Team, 16 to
S, In Poor Exhibition.

The Pettingill Corner baseball team was
defeated i'm an uninteresting contest by a
picked team, Saturday afternoon. on the
Pettingin Corner grounds. The score tells
the story briefly. but this much may be
said. that the Pettingill Corner boys were
far from playing their regular game, were
unable to make hits when hits meant
runs. and nearly every error that was
made resulted in runs. The Pettingill
boys are far from satisfied with the result
of the game and will try to complete ar
for another game to be played
in the near future. The game was called
at the end of the sixth on account of
darkness. The score:

THREE SHIPS ESCAPED
FROM THE JAPANESE
The Vessels, More or Less Damaged
Have Arrived at Manila.

Manila.-Rear Admiral Enquist
who was commander of the heavy
cruiser squadron of the Russian feet,
arrived in the bay at o'clock Satur-
day morning on board his flagship, the
protected cruiser Aurora, accom-
panied by the protected cruisers Oleg
and Jemtchug.
All the vessels were more or less
damaged, and there were many
wounded men on board. Rear Admiral
Tain, on board his flagship the battle
ship Ohio, with the Wisconsin, Ore
gon, Raleigh and Cincinnati, was out
side Corregidor islands maneuvering
when the Aurora saluted with thir-
teen guns, and the Ohio answered
Admiral Train and his squadron ac-
companied the Russian vessels to
Manila.
Washington.-The navy depart
ment has received cablegram
from Vice Admiral Train, dated Ma
Mia, stating that while cruising off
Lingayen gulf Saturday morning he
sighted three Russian vessels, the Au-
rora, the Oleg and Jemtchug, close in
shore. He said he found many wound
ed on board and escorted the vessels
to Manila.
Under the rules of war IL is said at
the navy department Admiral Trains
duty is plain. He will first care for
the wounded, taking them ashore il
necessary and he probably will quar-
ter the officers at the American naval
hospital at Cavite, and when the ca
pacity OF that institution Is taxed the
Philippine government probably will
be called on to offer facilities for the
wounded men.
Regarding the disposition of the
vessels, 1t is generally expected that
the Russian admiral, as soon as he
can communicate with his govern
ment, will ask permission to inferno
his ships at Manila. The department
has every confidence in the ability of
Admiral Train to see to 1t that every
detail of international law will be OBJ
served.

The baron says that before dark on

STRUCK THEIR FLAGS.
Russian Officers Accused Of Showing
cowardice.

st. Observation-Disclosures to the
dispatch from Baron Ferzen, the
commander of the cruiser Izumrud,
the battleships remaining in the fight
were still in squadron formation when
he was cut off and this increases the
deep resentment felt here at the sur
render of the ships, the Novoe Vrem-
va even declaring that the officers
ought to be courtmartialed and shot
for hauling down their flags and turn
ing over their ships to the Japanese.
The paper cites articles of the naval
regulations forbidding a commander
to surrender except as a last emer-
gency after taking measures to de-
stroy his ship. 1t points out that it
required only the opening OF the sea-
cocks to send the ships to the bottom.
The crews would be given a good
chance of life. the paper says. and
cites the example of the cruiser Rurik
OF the Vladivostok squadron, which,
after the fight with Admiral Kami-
mura in August last went down he
roically nth colors flying.
