AT SKOWHEGAN.
Buster" Williamson was the
favorite at the b. U.--Farmington
game at the Fourth of July celebra-
ton at Skowhegan last week. He
made "A game try to pick foul fly off
the back-stop fence, but hit the fence
like a high-powered locomotive and
came away from it slightly dazed and
with considerable skin scraped off
his manly brow. After having it
plastered he insisted on going back
to his position and continuing the
play. In the ninth inning he showed
that thing like that did not affect
his playing by hitting a triple, and
then stealing home for B. US final
run. This hit was the longest one Of
the game for either side. 1t was a
good game up to the last of the
eighth. The score by innings:
B. U. S. S. 0 2 0 0 0 0 Q l.
Pennington Q 2 Os1 0 7-15
Upon arrival at Skowhegan, the
boys went to the office of one of the
officials of the town, and were es-
corted to private homes, where they
were entertained during their stay.
Following the theatrical per-
Torrance, the boys were the guests
of the citizens of Skowhegan at a
dance at Lakewood, the beautiful re-
sort just out of Skowhegan.
Although they did not win the
500 purse, practically all of their
expenses were paid by the citizens
committee in charge of the celebra-
ton. The boys were treated royalty,
and all report a wonderful time.
EASTE2NS COMING FRIDAY.
The Easterns are surely staging a
strong comeback in the old game
and should give the B. U. boys fast
game when they play here Friday.

Jimmie Fallon sure does cover the
ground at short and snaps that ball
