Eoth Frazer and Shea are we'll

The TWO were to meet was a guarantee
that the audience would see some fast
ork, and it did. Frazer is one of the
toughest propositions in his class in
the State. and Shea is also very clever
ard a hard hitter, and while Referee
Mdhaney's decision awarding the bout
to the Portland boy was satisfactory to
the audience, those who saw the bout
realized that the winner had to so some
to get the decision.
Frazer started the opening round
with 4 rush and with the evident inten-
ton of ending the bout right there. but
a surprise was handed out to him in
the way of sundry wallops that set him
thinking and caused change in tao
tics. Shea mixed it with him in this
round and in the second, and in the
third fought him all over the ring. The
fourth round evencd up a little better.

got in four or five rights to Shea's face
| in quick succession which left their
mark, and although Shea reached Fra
zcr's face with few good ones, the
round had a decidedly Portland look

From that time Frazer seemed to be
| doing the better work, landing more
blows than his adversary, but although
| che two boys put up some very fast
work, and Frazer succeeded in landing
many more blows than Shea, somehow
| I'razcr lacked the strength to send his
| man to dreamland; and on the other
hand he kept Shea so busy that the lat
ter could not get an opportunity to
land his right effectively, Frazer hav-

| SO it went on to the end, with every
body good natured and satisfied with
the exhibition.

Cote of Biddeford and Young Cunning

draw. which though trifle slow, was
pretty good boxing.

WHIST AT DEXTER
To Help Wipe Out Deficit Carried BY
the Entertainment Course.

Dexter, Me-, Feb. 5.-(Specia).-A
largely attended whist party was given
in the Dexter Club hall this evening
for the benefit of the Citizens enter
tainment course. 1t has been GUS
tomary for the past few years to give
a series of entertainments OF a high
character in the town and until this
winter they have always been finan-
cially successful. For some reason
those given this winter failed TO be
successful financially notwithstanding
the fact~that they were the best ever
given since the institution of the plan.
The committee found itself some $50
in the hole at the end of the season.
To defray this debt some Of the public
spirited citizens have planned several
benefits for the purpose. The whist
party held this evening was attended
by over 100 representative people of
the town and whist was enjoyed until
a late hour. A goodly sum was real
lied, which will be Of material help
in N.iping out the deficit.

YALE'S FIRST PRACTICE.
A Dozen Varsity Men and Score OF
Freshmen Report at Cage.

New Haven, CT, Feb. 5.-Baseball can
didatcs for battery positions on the Yale
varsity and Freshman baseball mines
reported at the cage for the first time
Monday, being coached by Billy Lush and
Capt. Kinney, who ordered them to re-
port daily hereafter. Twelve men came
out for the Varsity, Including. II. Jones,
J. A. Parsons and c. II. Meyer, who will
form the nucleus for the pitchers staff,
and c. II. Chaplin, r. A. ID. Jones, A.
Erwin and L. A. G. Wylie, who will COM
pose the Varsity squad of catchers for
the present.
There is little hope of developing any
available men from among the upper
classmen, and the coaches believe thai
the work will devolve upon the men NAM
ed above. Twenty men reported foS the
Freshman team, but were given little
work, and at this early date it is impos-
sible to judge OF the efficiency of any
OF the men.

Base Ball as an Industry,

Baseball as an industry. with most
tangible assets and Invisible income, is
certainly worth considera ton, especi-
ally at the close of a season like that
of 1906. A fair illustration Of the pos
sibilities of the national game as an
income producer was afforded last
year after the close of the season
proper, and the development of the
fact that the two pennant winners
We're the two Chicago teams. The six
games that followed in order to deter

titled to the worlds championship
brought out an attendance in a single
week, and under unfavorable condi-
tons of weather, that contributed
$1O6,550 to the clubs receipts. In
other words, after allowing s33.423 for
the expenses of the week. there was
divided among the club owners the
sum of S44.695, and among the players
about s33,4O2. When the winning
players receive s1.S75 and the losing
players $40 each from the receipts of
a week, there is naturally emulation
to achieve a pace in a pennant holder
among the clubs. Could the books for
the season be examined, there would
doubtless be found from the ordinary
weekly receipts a very gratifying
showing for baseball. purely as BUSH

a revision Of the baseball scoring rules.
Mr.. DOvey is in favor Of system
which makes an error an error. regard
less Of whether the one guilty is field
er or a member of the battery. He
would like to know just why the pitch
er should not have little black mark
chalked up In his error average when
he makes a wild pitch. The folders
choice ought also to go by the board
according to the new owners way of
thinking.
While it may seem trivial of an own

really isn't such trivial matter at
ter all, for when the different magnateS
