Always figure it this way:>If the ball

bali players and officials laid hold Of
the hayward to haul the great 39-fnot
pernant to the top Of the staff. Their
combined effort was too much for the
slender staff. which snapped at the
cross trees. Mayor Busse. August Her
mann and President johnson of the
American League delivered their
sneeches. however and the pennant was
declared "ofTicially' raised.
lowering clouds caused Umpire
O'Loughlin to start the game 10 minutes
ahead of schedule time, but despite this
prccaution only half an inning was
piaved before the storm broke. Wash
ington failed to score in its first time

The profit taking movement carried

AY'S DOINGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS.
MAINE GAMES TODAY.
Maine Al Colby, Bowdoin At Wesleyan,
Bates At Amherst.

Watorvillc. Ne. May 14.-(Spc' lad.
championship game Of the season
Wednesday afternoon at Alumni field.
Colby has already met and easily de-
fcatcd Maine in an exhibition game this
spring. This. however. is no standard
by which to judge the game TINS al
ternoOn for Maine has been improving
rapidly as is shown by the game that
she put up against Bowdoin with only
Il part of ii team. The Colby team has
not been showing up as well as the
coach has hoped they would. so this
week they have been getting some eX-
ira hard work The men have been
slower on bases than they should be
and several instances of going to sleep
have cost runs 50 Coach RaWSOn has
been getting after them and it VIII be
surprising if they are not awake this
afternoon. Buker will play at first
where he has been showing good form
in this weeks practice. Tilton will be
on second and it is needless to say
that "Mose" will be there with the
goods Cotton has been playing a good
fielding game at short and will be seen
there this afternoon. Third base is
still in some doubt. Shaw will prob
ably play there part of the game if not
the whole of ii. He has Il bad ankle
and got it hurt again in last nights
practice but it is hoped that it will not
keep him out of the game. Good will
probably pitch and it will be a good
chance to try him out. There will be
one change in the ficlders. Mathews
Will probably play center in place of
Guptill. While not 50 strong a fielder
as some he is in the game all the time,
never gets ratified and knows the fine
points of the game so that he can be
depended upon at any time. Tribou
will be in left and Hammond in right
unless he is called in from the field to
pitch which would be a very wise thing
to do if Maine should fail in her stick
work as miserably as did the league
team. All the baseball fans who want
to see the real article served up should
not fail to visit Alumni field this af-
ternoon providing the weather man
gives us q fair deal.
