THE BASEBALL SEASON.

Written for The Journal by Orrin J. Dickey.]
With the closing Of the baseball season Bel
fast had one of the most successful seasons
which was ever recorded by local team in
this city. The team was put out by the Young
Mems Association of this city, and for team
of local players gave as good baseball as has
been seen in the baseball leagues of Maine for
years. The season opened on May 2nd at
Rockland and closed Labor Day in this
city. Sixteen games were played, of which
but three were played out of the city and only
two We're lost, giving the home team a record
of winning fourteen games out of sixteen.
The team was organized in the spring and be-
gan early practice with the choice of George
F. Darby as captain and Chester B. Frost as
manager. Mr., Darby had had good experience
in the past and proved good man in that ca
pacitv and Mr. Frost had managed the team of
previous year and he was fortunate in secur-
ing games and by good fortune arranged
large number of games at home. The other
members of the team were Henry Brown,
Walter Vose, Lee Robinson, Henry Cunning
ham, Bert Darby, George Darby, Ansel 10th
rop, Arthur johnson, Stanley Chamberlain,
Fred johnson, Thomas Berry, George Frisbee
and Harold Hayford.
The games played were Freedom Academy
to 2; University of Maine Law School, IA to q;
Rockland High, 5 to 2; Old Town High, 6 to 5:
Belfast clerks, IL to Z; Thomaston, 19 to O.:
Warren, % to 2; Belfast clerks, to 3; Tacon-
nett Club to Z; Knox county, 9 to 3; Rock
port, 8 to l; Rockland 5 to 4; Castine, to l
(three innngs;) Clinton, Is to 4; Albion, 5 to g.;
Taconnett Club 5 to 6.
Few teams in the State made so good snow
ing as this team, and with the lease of the
Congress street grounds granted them by the
city, the grounds were repaired and placed in
fine condition and a six foot board fence built
with subscription funds. The team gave ex-
cellent satisfaction and the financial results
were satisfactory. One thing which proved
very popular was the number of games which
were given the Belfast patrons and the excel
lent standard held by the home team Not for
wears has there been SO successful a ball team
as that which has closed this season. For two
wears the Young Mems Association, which has
rooms on Phenix Row, has supported as good
as baseball team as Belfast has ever had and
lovers of the sport are longing for another
season, when it is hoped that they will present
another team of equal strength.

TIE engagement of Miss Lena French of
Thomaston, head nurse in the Knox hospital,
nounced. Miss French is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel W. French, formerly of
Northport, and is frequent visitor to this
CITY as the guest of her aunt, Miss Sarah

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter O. Poor of Hollywood,
California, arrived Monday to spend the holi-
days, and perhaps the winter, in Belfast with
Mr.. Poor's parents Hon. and Mrs. c. O. Poor.
Mrs Poor came on to Dorchester to visit her
parents, while Mr.. Poor visited Walter Perry
in Grand Forks, North Dakota and enjoyed a
hunting trip with him, and then spent few
days with Edward Perry in Fargo. In Cam
bridge Mr.. and Mrs. Poor visited Mr.. and Mrs
H. D. Mcclellan, who with their little daughter
Janet accompanied them to Belfast. The uni
ted families will have their Thanksgiving din
ner with Mr.. Augustus Perry, Belfast's grand
old man, who is nearly "a years of age.
Gay Holmes of Belfast played at right
half on the annual football game between the
freshmen and sophomore classes at the Universi-
ty of Maine last Saturday afternoon 1t resulted
in a victory for '12 and the Bangor Commercial
says:
The result of the game was somewhat of a
surprise, owing to the number of varsity men
on the sophomore team. 1t was the freshmen
backfield that won the game for the team,
Oliver, Parker and Holmes being in every play
and forming excellent interference. The fresh
men team was aggressive at all times, and fail
ed to make distance but once during the game.
The freshmen line put up good fight, but the
sophomores were heavier and were superior y
the opposing line. The feature of the be
was the interference afforded by the MEN
backs, which was among the best 81 Il from
any team on Alumni field this year. g.

ing the chorus rendering of Columbia, the
Gem of the Ocean," She was unable to be
nresent the second night, and Miss Florence
M. Hill substituted for her, and looked as love-
ly as did the original. The lights thrown dur
ing this number were most effective, and the
tableaux were striking ones Mr. Jonn far-
ker, whose appearance upon the platform IS
always hailed with delight, sang "forget the
Past" The first part of the program ended
with the singing of Gouno DIS "Lovely Ap-
pear" by Miss Marian Wells and the chorus
The Ladies' Zobo Band, led by Mrs. George
F.. Hayener, was one of the hits OF the even
ing. They played medley with all the force
and finish of old performers. The oaho
members, who were gowned in white skirts
and regulation band coats and caps, were Mrs.
J. Lee Patterson, Miss Edith L. Burgess, Mrs.
Maurice c. Curtis, Mrs. E. S. Bowker' MISS
Sadie Latin, Miss Edith Gillum.
The always popular Anchored was sung
by the chorus, followed by one of the prettiest
things on the program, Mrs. E. P. Frost's SOLO,
"a Japanese Love Song" Mrs. Frost typiheo
the Japanese girl, and her poses and gestures
were both effective and natural to the char
acter she represented SO well.
The children's chorus again took their places
on the stage and with Lucie Leavitt as soloist
sang Bunker Hill" Both soloist and chorus
did their instructors great credit and dehghted
everyone. The whistling interlude, line merry

the audience delightful surprise MISS hatn-

was grace itself, as she introduced several

LEGGED LETTER OF GROVER
CLEVELAND.
SOLD new YORK TIMES
DECLARES THAT HE is BEING
VIcTIMIZED FOR POLITICAL
EFFECT.

Dayton, Ohio.-As he was boarding
train for New York city here Thurs
day afternoon, Broughton Branden-
berg was arrested by local detectives
on the charge of forgery and grand
larceny. A telegram from the New
York police department advised the
local department to hold him.
He is alleged to have sold to the
New York Times a letter which he
alleged to have been written by
Grover Cleveland. in which the dead
statesman predicted the election of
Taft, and which letter is now declared
to have been a forgery.
Brandenberg was locked up, as the
amount of his bail was not fixed.
Through his attorney Brandenberg
issued the following statement:
'It appears that I am to be the
Captain Dreyfus of the campaign of
1908. 1 have been peculiarly alone
and am still alone in my fight and
though ready to welcome the great
body of support which the facts war
rant me. if it does not come l shall
go on alone.
"Is it reasonable that for the sake
of $120 that would have beeI my
profit after weeks of work, any sane
man in my position would have falsi-
fled the utterances of an eX-President
of the United States? Is is reasona-

written manuscript in my possession

scheme for the three articles for sale
in March and when l sought the prop
er authority from Mrs. Cleveland and
the co-executor, Mr.. Hastings, before
1 sold the single article, that there
could have been anything but fair
dealing in my methods? Why was
the alleged evidence that the docu-
ment was fraudulent not produced
when the document was challenged?
"Why has it never been produced,
save in the secrets of the. grand jury
room, when the American public is
entitled to know every scrap of evi-
dence in the matter at once? Why
have my witnesses been intimidated?
Why is Indictment found, if one has
been found, before my case is in?
Yesterday 1 wired District Attorney

present on Friday, and as l stepped
aboard the train for New York to
fulfill my agreement, l am arrested
as fugitive from justice, though my
attorney, Joseph Williams, and myself
informed the district attorney of my
purpose and destination on this jour
ney.
This allows those who are inter
ested in offsetting the influence of
Mr.. Cleveland's utterances to secure
dramatic climax just before election.
The entire matter is all fitting nicely
with Colonel Watterson's plan, an
nounced before the article was pub
lished, that it must be discredited by
any means. 1t remains to be seen if
the American public is to be bull
dozed on one hand, while 1 am vic
