GRANITE CITY LADS IN
BATTLE ROYAL TODAY

Hallowell Me-, July A.-(SpeciaD. The
Hallowell Trolley League team will play
its return game with the fast Gardiner
aggregation this afternoon on the Mus
ter field, Hallowell, and providing the
weather conditions permit it, one great
old game Is expected. Both teams are
out to win and it's a toss-up on which
is due for the victory. Gardiner has an
exceedingly strong lineup and up to
Wednesday had several consecutive vic
tories to their creait that made the fans
look wise and say nothing. In Temple,
their newly acquired box artist from
Belfast. they have mountain of strength
and his speedy delivery has certainly got
something behind it.
On the other hand, Hallowell is now
playing under a new management and
rapid Improvement in the showing of the
nine is expected. Pagan will be in the
box for Hallowell.
Only one change is to be made in the
lineup, that being behind the bat. Doc"
Niles is to be rested up for a couple of
games, and Thayer of Lewiston take his
place. The lineup:

Washington, D. c., July 24.-(Spe-
cial)-Maine congressman are getting
their business at the Capitol we'll COM
pleted for the session. The most they
have to do now is to register their
views on questions of general legisla-
ton as fast as these come before the
Senate and the House. There is a
number of private bills in behalf of
Maine people pending but these come
up at rare intervals when the Senate
or the House goes to the Calendar"
Committees are no longer working
save those of the Senate that have to
do with the antitrust bills. Conse-
quently all has been done with private
bills that can be done. Those report
ed favorably have chance of passage
during the session but must take their
turn.
The House has just passed a resolu-
ton to pay to Mary E. De Coster,
widow OF the late Capt Francisco V.
De Coster, a deliveryman of docu-
ments to the House document room,
the committees of the House, and the
House Office building, sum equal to
six months salary at the rate he was
receiving at the time of his death. 1t

RIFLE RIVERSIDE
MAINE CENTRAL
TICKET OFFICE
Thieves Gain Entrance Friday
By the Breaking of
Window

Riverside, Me-, July 24.-(SpeciaD.-
The Maine Central Railroad ticket Of
flee at this place was broken into
shortly before noon today and the
money drawer rifled of its contents in
the way of cash amounting to $10.79.
George E. Rand, the ticket agent, left
the office at IL 10 to go to dinner, lock-
ing up as usual, and on returning to
the station at 1906 found that the Of
flee had been entered and the money
stolen.
The thieves gained an entrance to
the office by throwing a stone through
a window and then after reaching
through the aperture and turning the
fastening raised the sash and crawled
in. Several tramps were seen to pass
the station during the forenoon but
so far as has been learned no one was
seen about the building at the time
that the break must have occurred
and no clue to the identity of the
thieves has been obtained. Agent Rand
notified the police departments at Au-
gusta and Waterville to be on the
lookout for suspicious looking charac-
ters.

AUGUSTA OFF TO WIN
THROP THIS AFTERNOON

The Augusta Trolley League base
ball team will leave this afternoon on
the o'clock car for Winthrop where
1t will play Winthrop. The Senators
were beaten by the Winthrop team
Wednesday on the Reuel Williams field
this city, and will determine to return
the compliment this afternoon. Au-
gusta played rocky ball as did Win
throp, il being the worst exhibition
that either team has put up this sea-
son. 1t will be Stinson and auckland
again to oppose each other in the box
and that royal battle will be the re-
suit, is certain. Both teams when
going right are fast, all good hitters,
and as good a bunch of fielders as one
would care to watch in action. Au-
gusta fans dope the local team as win
ner while Winthrop is claiming the
same distinction. If rooters are to be
considered a valuable factor in the
winning of game Augusta ought to
win, for one of the largest crowds of
the season from this city will make the
trip to winthrop. Should Augusta
win todays game it will have a good
grip on first place in the league stand

BELFAST AND BANGOR
NOW OUT OF LEAGUE

Bangor, Me-, July 23.-With another
pay day coming right along and no
games to bring in any money sched-
uled, the management of the Bangor
Club of the Eastern Maine League has
decided that the best it could do un-
der the circumstances would be to dis
band. Accordingly this action was
taken and the treasurer of the local
association has paid all the men and
closed the books for the season.
The difficulties started when Belfast
was forced out of the league by the
action of the Easterns and the Old
Town team under the admitted charge
that the down river team was spend
ing money in excess of the agreement
to procure players.
For a time ii looked as though Ban
gor and the other two teams could
hang together. and talk was made as
zation of a six-team league. Now that
is all over. the men are paid and many
of them have left the city.
Old Town and the Easterns plan to
hang together as long as there is any
thing going on, and with the remnants
of their former team as the nucleus
the Belfast Club Is planning on organ
izing an independent team in that city,
a team that will arrange games here
and there, but not under any regular
schedule.
Belfast has been more or less base
ball mad this summer, according to
the reports that come up from down
the river,
