The Ocean Point baseball team
claims a 9 to 0 victory over Capitol
Island by forfeit The game was to
have been played Wedne sday afternoon
at the baseball field in Roothbay 1ar-
bar. because of lack of grounds at
Capitol. To make sure of no misun-
derstanding. the Ocean Point manager
went to Capitol. Tuesday night and
talked with Manager Lathe of Capitol
They both agreed on the Harbor dia-
ih"nd. and accordingly on Wednesday
the Ocean Point team went to the ap-
pointed place. Their opponents. how
ever. forgot to appear at all. and did
not even telephone to say that they
could not come. This was somewhat of
disappointment to the Ocean Point
ers, who with much stronger team
were counting on a sweet revenge for
the game lost Saturday. Coach Meagh-
err not only keeps the boys at top speed
but plays in various positions himself,
thus materially changing the teams
condition.
The team offers challenge to any
team in Boothbay Barbor. or Squirrel
Island. the latter place preferred. An
communications to be addressed to
either Coach Weagher or E. e. Turner
