Commonwealth 20; r. p. II. 2.

The Commonwealth Shoe & Leather
team defeated the r. p Hazard Co.
in a walk over, Saturday afternoon,
at Quimby field, by score of 70 to :.
The game was won in the first innings
when the Commonwealth boys piled
up six runs that took the courage
from their opponents. in marked de-
gree The Hazard boys pulled a run
out of each of the next two innings
and held the Commonwealth without
scoring Faces began to brighten, but
in the fourth the Commonwealth boys
got busy and added eight to the score.
That settled it and not another run
did the Hazards make, during the
game. The interesting features of the
game were the pitching and batting OF
Harrington for the commemorative
and the fielding of Tibbetts for the
Hazards. The battery for the Com
lmonwealth was Harrington and BOWL

A "Clean-Up" Day.

1t is unfortunate that the Smoke
Talk" of the Gardiner Board of Trade
and the meeting of the Improvement
Society and the Philanthropic Union
We're scheduled for the same evening.
The meeting was held for the purpose
of planning for general "Clean-up'
day, and was not largely attended, not
from lack of interest, but because the
other affair was a more drawing card.
DIR. Rragdon presided. The object Ct
the meeting was to get citizens gem
orally to clean up their premises. Dr..
Bragdon stated that Alderman Berry
had assured him that if the residents
would clear up the front of their lots
and by the street-side. the city teams
would haul the rubbish away. Refer
ence was made to some of the dumps
in the city and to the banks of the mill
pond as being no credit to the city
DR.. Bragdon, Mrs Frank S. MaXes
and Miss Della Collins were appointed
as a committee to make arrangements
for an other meeting to be held, Tues
day evening. April 20, at the High
school building, and to notify the diff
ferent societies comprising the Philan-
thropic Union of what was wanted.
The plan suggested was the setting
of Arbor day as the time for the
clean up and it was suggested that the
co-operation of the school children be
enlisted

Major League Developments
During the Past Week.

Chicago, April 27.-Major league
baseball was favored with good wealth
er, during the past week. and for the
first time since the seaso started the
schedule was played out with but few
breaks. OF 81 games scheduled. only
three We're postponed although three
games in the National League added &c
the already long list of double headers
hat viii oonc with the seasons ad-
Vs3nee.
The steady arind accelerated the
il veil ! process in each section, where
- Ss>s,tve c l35 are finding out what
taey can or cannot do to each other
lefore tackling those of the other
sectional group.
This week, marks practically the last
of this sectional play, for within the
next 10 days, the Western clubs of the
National League begin their invasion
of the East, while the American
League Eastern contingent starts its
travels around the Western circuit. In
both leagues already there is a pref
ty race on for the leadership with the
struggle in the National slightly the
closer to date The New 9orks head
the procession in the older organiza-
ton by small margin, with Chicago,
Pittsburg and Philadelphia pressing
the champions closely. The Quaker
contingent had rather poor week of
it. losing ground rapidly in their tus-
sci with the Giants. who took two of
the four games played. While of the
two that ended in tie one had been
played to finish in their favor when
an umpire's ruling brought matters
back to evens.
Both Chicago and Pittsburg have
shown class and at present are fight
ing it out between them to determine
which may have at least the tempo
rary advantage in position. Johnny
Evers' men have done better than
many expected of them and their sue
cess is helping give the race in their
league its old, familiar aspect OF the
second division teams, Brooklyn IS just
now making the best showing, its four
victories and but two defeats putting
it substantially ahead on the week
play. Cincinnati is still struggling
along just a shade above last year
tail enders but better things are ex-
pected of the men under Joe Iinker 5
