Portland, Me, May 3.-Certain de-
veyopments which we're forthcoming
after the seventh inning Of the game
at Pine Tree park yesterday afternoon
Hvened up a game replete with loose
fielding and Il innings were required
to settle the argument, Bowdoin
examining four runs in the final set to
and beating Bates out II to I. Things
looked pretty much in the hands and
at the will Of the Brunswickians when
the first half of the eighth inning had
become d matter OF history, Dut
Bridges came to bat in the eighth for
the Lewistonans and swatted out one
of the three hits tabled for that in
ming which, together with four stolen
bases and three rank errors sent four
Bates men across the plate to tie the
score. No one figured in the. ninth eX-
cepting the men who put out the bats
men, but the 10th saw trouble. Two
Enen were on bases when Hartman
was sent in to relieve Phinney, the
Freshman pellet pusher and, though
Hartman struck out three men the
fact that four of John Twins colts
had tailed could not be denied.
The diamond was in none to fast
shape for baseball game and the
weather was little chilly but good
ly number of college fellows and girls
went over to the game and sentiment
seemed to be evenly divided among
the grownups-the kids of course were
persistent in cheering for whichever
side might be in the lead.
Bates started the ball rolling by
scoring a run in the first. Bridges got
down on Manter's clumsy handling OF
a grounder and stole second. Stone
cracked out single which sent him
across the rubber.
In the second Jordan tok wallop
at the ball which sent it far and away
toward right field fence for two sacks
and he came hime when Manter made
q mess of d grounder from keaney.
This much for Bates. Bowdoin had
been doing nothing, but the third was
to see things doing. McDade, Caldwell,
Stanwood, burlington and Scammon
all had safe cracks at the ball and
four runs crossed the plate for the
white and black.
Bridges went to first to second and
to third in the fifth on a succession OF
errors and came home for Bates thirC
run OH hit from Wilder's bat.
Exeunt scoring for two innings.
In the eighth punches of looseness
sent three runs over for Bowdoin. Nc
Dade drew a pass and Caldwell sacri-
ficed him along a base. Starwood bat

and "Baldy" went to the bench via
third base and home plate on an erro
by Burnell Manter was sent to frs
at no expense and a little later wher
Harris was handling the bat keaney
made an error and recovered to fine
that Mantcr had scored.
In her half of the eighth Bate!
raped out three singles. four stoler
bases were sandwiched in. Stanwoot
made q couple of costly errors ant
Bower contributed to the error column
all of which went to result in the score
being tied.
In the 10th Caldwell started things
by laying down a hit Stanwood sacr
feed him along and was safe on frs
on Phinney's error. Hartman wa
sent into the box and errors by Booth

Bowdoin a gild-edged opportunity o
fattcning her score by four runs.
Stone split his thumb in the eight
and, although he played an inning a
