The through electric car hourly SER
vice between Lewiston and Waterville
was successfully inaugurated Tuesday
afternoon. This hourly service will
hereafter be maintained. The half
hour service between Augusta and
Gardiner will be continued and the run
between these cities viii be made in
half hour Both the through Lewiston
and Waterville ears and the local cars
will make the run between Augusta
and Gardiner in one half hour. The
double Car service Of a Lewiston car
and Gardiner car running at the same
time will be discontinued. Therefore
when the Lewiston car runs between
these two cities there will be no local
car following it. Bear in mind that
this half hour running time VIII
necessitate promptness, both on the
part OF the roads employees, and the
public who travel on the electrics. The
cars will only stop at the white poles
between the cities and in the cities at
the crossings designated by the signs
on the overhead trolley wires, This is
another change that will save lots OF
time and inconvenience if one remem-
hers it. The local car from Gardiner
will only run to the Augusta postofflce
and will start for Gardiner from the
postOffice.

WORLDS SERIES OF
 BALL GAMES

Post-season baseball games, tie great battles to which the fans the country over are now looking forward with intense eagerness, were unaeard of until 1884, when the Providence team, winner of the National League championship, and the Nets, winners in the American Association, played York Providence won them all-e to 1 0, to 1. Ii to ,.
 The next year the Chicago Nation als and the St. Louis Browns-win- ners respectively in the National League and the American Association played seven-game series, the first being played in Chicago, the next three in St. Louis, the fifth in Pitts burg, the sixth in Cincinnati, and the seventh in Chicago. Each team won i three games and one was a tic. In 1886 Chicago and St. Louis again played off, and Comiskey's team won -four games to Ansons team two.
 Detroit, winner of the National League pennant, and the self-same l St. Louis Browns fought it out in 1887, and Detroit won 10 of the If games, which were played in St. Louis, De- troit, Pittsburg, New York, Brooklyn Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, and Baltimore
 In 1888 the New York Nationals beat the St. Louis American Associa- tion champions 6 out of 10 games. In the post-season series of 1889 the New York Nationals won six of the nine games played with the champion Brooklyn team of the American Asso- ciation.
 The advent of the Players League, generally regarded as an outlaw or ganization, detracted from the inter- est in the post-season series of 1890, between the Brooklyns of the Nation al League and the Louisvilles of the American Association. Each team won three games and one was tie.
 Nothing in the post-season way hap pened in 1891, but in 1892 came the double season championship of the new 12-club National League-one season ending in July and the other in October. Boston finished first in the first half and Cleveland in the second. In the play-off the first game was a 0-0 tie, and Boston won the next five.
 The four series for the Temple cup, in 1894, 1895, 1896 and 1897, attracted much attention.
 In 1894 New York won four straight games from Baltimore.
 In 1895 Cleveland won four of the five games from Baltimore.
 In 1896 Baltimore won four straight games from Cleveland.
 In 1897 Baltimore won four out of five games from Boston.
 From 1897 until 1903 there were no post-season games. In 1903 the Boston Americans won five of eight games played with Pittsburg Nation- als for the worlds pennant.
 In 1904 John D. Brush refused to allow his New York team, champions season series with Boston, champions Of the National League, to play a pest of the American League.
 In 1905 the New York Nationals won -four out of five games with the Phil |adelphia Athletics.
