The Journal went to press too early last
week to report the Wednesday afternoon
games. Belfast again defeated the Easterns
ON the Congress street grounds by score OF
9 to 6. which landed the local team in second
place, the Easterns leading with games won
and lost, while Belfast had won and lost 4.
Belfast won by hard batting rally in the 9Th
inning, going to bat on the wrong emo OF .
to 4 score, and making five runs. with the
bases full, "Bush" Ladd came across with .
cleanup hit and McElwee contributed home
run when needed. Up to that inning Mcclellan
and Wheeler had honors about even. 1t was q
good game and kept the crowd excited.
At Bangor that afternoon the bangors de-
feated Old Town TO q score OF to T..
At Bangor, June 26th, Harry Wormwood. the
former New England Lacquer. now with Bel
fast, was effective against Bangor until
the eighth inning, when Talbot cleaned up the
bases with home run. The final score was.
Bangor 4, Belfast 3. Murphy of Dartmouth
pitched well for Bangor.
At Old Town, Friday. the home team defeated
the Easterns of South Brewer, to by a
rally in the eighth, batting Dwyer out of the
box and scoring seven runs. Howard held the
visitors well until the ninth. The Easterns
in their last time at bat got three runs and
came near tying up the score.
At South Brewer last Saturday afternoon
Belfast got away with the Easterns on their
home grounds by a score of to l. The Daily
News says of the game: "Harry NORWOOD
was about the whole thing for Belfast as he
put the ball over the fence for a home run in
the first inning, when the bases were full. and
later in the game made a steal of the plate.
The four tallies in the first were about all Bel
fast needed to win. with Temple pitching con-
sistent ball and fast support behind him. The
Easterns did not show any signs OF becoming
dangerous and the interest centered in seeing
whether they would escape the whitewash.
Mcclellan was easy for Belfast and he gave
way at the end of the 4th to Jerry Welch.
Jerry was third string pitcher for University
of Maine this year. Belfast seemed to be
somewhat bothered to get at Jerry's delivery
and he held them to one hit for the rest Of the
game. His support wasn't very good at times.
He got in hole in about every inning but
crawled out. somehow. There were but few
sensational features"
At Old Town, June 9th, in the fastest and
best game of the season, Bangor won from
Old Town, 3 to l. 1t was pitchers battle be-
tween McPhee of the home team who held
Bangor to two hits and Fox. for Bangor. who
was found for three hits. One of Bangor's
hits was triple by Lawry with a man ahead
of him. The Bangor team gave Fox beautiful
support and some classy stops and great out
field catch by Talbot cut off promising runs.
McPhee's fine work was offset to some extent
by slip. ups in the field and with better support
he stood an excellent chance to win. Gould
and Bennett did fine work for Old Town.
Tuesdays games-Old Town at Belfast, and
Bangor at South Brewer-were called off be-
cause of the rain and wet grounds. The same
teams were to play at the same places yester-
day and the Old Town and Belfast mines met
on the Congress street grounds. Belfast and
Bangor are tied at this time.
The games for Friday and Saturday are:
Easterns at Old Town. Belfast at Bangor.
