The new Skowhegan baseball team

nine composed of we'll seasoned play
ers and was an errorless game as
far as Skowhegan was concerned
throughout. White, the Bowdoin
College twirler of this season, was
in the box for the home team and
made an excellent showing up to the
Sth inning, not a man reaching first
on his account, but in that inning

hit, gave the visiting team two runs
The score was IL to 2. The good
material which Skowhegan has for

season and many victories for the
players.
