HALLOWELL.
7 he Local High Wins
6 TO 5 from Winthrop.
Serious Accident, Wednesday
Afternoon, TO Isaac MuTCh.
Social, Society, Club and Personal
Notes of Much Interest.

The Halloweil High school baseball
team defeated the Winthrop High
school baseball team, Wednesday aft
ernoon, in a close and exciting con-
test The visitors put up a snappy
game of ball and gave their pitcher
fine support, while the home boys did
not play a very good game, presu.n
ably on account of overconfidence.
When the game had progressed TO the
eighth inning, then the local boys be-
gan to hustle, overcoming their OPP
ponents lead and finally landing the
game in the ninth by the slim margin
of one run.
For the visitors the battery put up
a good game, and the hitting of Max
well was a feature. Their base run
ming, however, was weak, not a man
being able to steal base.
For Haliowell the battery work was
good, Pickard pitching a good game
Niles caught in fine style and caught
an extremely hard foul fl. Paine
made fine catch in deep center: a
ball from Maxwelrs bat, which, if it
had not been caught would have been
good for three bases. The hitting of
Pickard and Niles was very good
Niles hit in the ninth inning winning
\ the game. The next game will be on
the local diamond, Saturday. when the
Hallowell High will cross bats with
Oakland High.
