THE GAME YESTERDAY

With final score of ! to 2 in their
favor SkOwhegan won in the game
against Rumford played yesterday at
the Fairgrounds in WaterYille.
Were was not at all in good form
and struck out but one man during
the afternoon while McKenty had the
Rumford batters at his mercy
throughout. Skowhegan started in the
second inning and kept them going
until the ninth. The runs perhaps
were not earned but they came across
which is the main part of base
ball. The big sticks of Ben Houser
and Joe Murphy deserve lot of ere
dit for the overwhelming victory,
Murphy hitting safely in his first
three trips up.
Hallowell is scheduled to meet
Skowhegan at the park today and
should give the Somerset aggregation
something to think about.
The score.

O'Clock and he said then that a
person could go into his alfalfa
patch and scoop up the hailstones
in wagon loads. The stones were "
and y inches in diameter. A strong
wind accompanied the hail., in its

none with the rain which
fell generally, No rain came with
the hail
