Squirrel Island. Me-, July 10
Especially. -Oldtime interest is being re-
vived in baseball. Several teams are
practising daily on the island green
and 1t is safe to predict Squirrel will
be represented by a strong aggregation.
The management is already scheduling
some good games and Squirrel as in
past years will be the ground for some
close and interesting battles. Some Of
the old players have already arrived
Including "Ted" Stanwood, Robert
Maxcy. Ralph Sayward, X. Perkins,
Andrew Foss and Charles Rowe. The
first game played this year was lost to
the cadets from u. S. S. Chase. On
Saturday afternoon however Squirrel
won an exciting and sensational game
from Bayvilie by the close score of to
3.
swimming has grown in popularity
for several years past. This year it is
already one of the pleasantest past
times.
A notice is posted daily on the bulle-
tin board at the poStotfice denoting the
hour for all to show up AT the beach in
bathing costume. An hour each day is
thus pleasantly spent by the en-
thusiastic bathers.
The islanders are invited to join the
Athletic Association. The initiation fee
is two dollars and may be paid to
Alexander Doyle. president. or to Rob-
ert T. Whitehouse, secretary and treas
urer.
Thn ,,Io Il
L. S. S. Chase on Saturday afternoon
A large number attended and were de-
lighted with The aquatic sports which
had been arranged for their entertain
ment.
The Eastern Steamship Co. has made
another improvement this year to it's
excellent service. A new boat has
been put on which leaves Boothbay at
$50 A. NJ. daily for Bath and also a
new boat leaves Bath daily at $40 p
M. for Boothbay, stopping at all inter-
Venirg landings when there are pas
sengers. 1t is needless to say that
this addition makes q most accommo-
dating service and is greatly appre-
ciatcd by AL the islanders.
There was no church services Sunday
on account of improvements which are
under way at the chapel. The whole
interior will be stained a rich ma
hOSany red and hardwood pews will
take the place of the old settees.
