GOOD BASE BALL.
Ellsworth High Has. Won -Four
Games, and Lost None.

Ellsworth High Has. Won -Four
Games, and Lost None.
Ellsworth high school base ball team
won two games last week, defeating
Franklin Friday and Bluehill academy
Saturday. The Ellsworth team hes played
four games this season, two with Franklin
and two with Bluehill, ana won them all.
The boys are playing good and consis-
tent game. Their snappy field work and
good head work show the effect OF Coach
Lawrence's work.
Fridays game with Franklin was hardly
a fair sample of the Ellsworth mines work.
Both pitchers were hit freely and the first
half of the game was little ragged. In
the fifth inning a wild throw to first let in
three runs for Franklin. After this case
of rattles, Ellsworth steadied down and
did some pretty fielding WORK. The score
at the end OF the game was Ellsworth, II;
Franklin, 10.
Saturdays game with Bluehill academy
at Bluehill was closely contested from
start to finish, and was by far the best
game the Ellsworth team has played this
season. The score was Ellsworth. Z; Blue
hill, g. The team showed knowledge OF
the fine points of the game, and played
snappy game throughout.
The work of Parsons, Harrigan and Shea
was particularly commendable. Parcher
pitched his usual cool headed game, and
Higgins showed great Improvement be-
hind the bat. Sinclair, King and Downey,
in the outfeld, had no opportunity to
show what they were capable of doing,
but Fridays game showed that they can
be depended upon. Mason held down his
corner like a veteran.
The next game scheduled is with the
fast Washington academy team at East
Machias, and the boys are working hard
in preparation for it. The lineup will be
as follows: King, Of; Shea, SIS; Parcher,
p; Parsons, 2b; Harrigan, 3b; Mason, 1b;
Higgi ms, c. Downey, IF; Sinclair, If.

Behind on the News,

lnthe midst of the heated dissension on
points connected with certain historical
sensations which their teacher had
sought TO impress upon them, the two
grandchildren appealed to their grand
father, who sat musing and smoking his
pipe in the corner, for support.
''Grsndpa," cried the eager brother,
''who was il killed esar;-Cassius or

"Now, you may be right there, too"
said the involuntary indicator, after
fidgeting in his chair "Come to think of

AT this the young girls eyes flashed.
''Grsndpa," declared she, stepping be-
fore him and cycling him sternly, "you do
not seem to know anything about it,"
