V -—
Phllllps-Exeter Wins From Univer
sity of Maine 4 to 2.
Portland. Me-, May 3.—Certain de
velopments which wete forthcoming
after the seventh inning of the game
at Pine Tree park yesterday afternoon
livened up a game replete with loose
fielding and 12 Innings were required
to settle the argument, Bowdoin
cramming four runs in the final set to
and beating Bates out 11 to 7. Things
looked pretty much in the hands and
at the will of the Brunswickians when
the first half of the eighth inning had
become a matter of history, but
Bridges came to bat in the eighth for
the Lewistonians and swatted out one
of the three hits tabled for that in
ning which, together with four stolen
bases and three rank errors sent four
Bates men across the plate to tie the
score. No one figured in the ninth ex
cepting the men who put out the bats
men, but the 10th saw trouble. Two
men were on bases when Harriman
, was sent in to relieve Phinney, the
Freshman pellet pusher and, though
Harriman struck out three men the
fact that four of John Irwin's colts
had tallied could not be denied.
The diamond was in none to fast
shape for a baseball game and the
weather was a little chilly but a good
ly number of college fellows and girls
went over to the game and sentiment
seemed to be evenly divided among
the grownups— the kids of course were
persistent in cheering for whichever
side might be in the lead.
Bates started the ball a rolling by
scoring a run in the first. Bridges got
down on Manter’s clumsy handling of
i a grounder and stole second. Stone
cracked out a single which sent him
across the rubber.
In the second Jordan tok a wallop
at the ball which sent it far and away
toward right Held fence for two sacks
and he came liime when Manter made
a mess of a grounder from Keaney.
This much for Bates. Bowdoin had
been doing nothing, but the third was
tc see things doing. McDade, Caldwell,
Stanwood, Purlngton and Scammon
all had safe cracks at the ball and
four runs crossed the plate for the
■white and blark.
Bridges w.ent to first, to second and
to third in the fifth on a succession of
errors and came home for Bates' third
run on a hit from Wilder's bat.
Exeunt scoring for two innings.
In the eighth bunches of looseness
sent three runs over for Bowdoin. Mc
Dade drew a pass and Caldwell sacri
ficed him along a base. Stanwood bat
ted out a two-bagger, scoring McDade
and "Ualdy” went to the bench via
third base and home plate on an error
by Burnell. Manter was sent to first
at no expense and a little later when
Harris was handling the bat Keaney
made an error and recovered to find
that Manter had scored.
In her hair of the eighth Bates
rapped out three singles, four stolen
bases were sandwiched in, Stanwood
made a couple of costly errors and
Bower contributed to the error column,
, all of which went to result it. the score
being tied.
In the 10th Caldwell started things
by laying down a hit Stanwood sacri
ficed him along and was safe on first
on Phinney's error. Harriman was
eent Into the liox and errors by Booth
by, Bridges and two wild pitches gave
Bowdoin a gild-edged opportunity of
fattening her score by four runs.
Stone split his thumb in the eighth
*nd, although he played an inning at
( Center Held Cobb was Anally substi
tuted.

YOUNG ERNE TO MEET
CYCLONE THOMPSON.
Boston. May 3.—The members of the
Armory Athletic. Association will wit
ness a great exhibition of boxing when
they gather at the club house next
Tuesday. The main attraction will
bring together two sterling performers
of the squared arena, Young Erne of
Philadelphia and “Cyclone” Johnny
Thompson of Illinois, who will box 12
rounds to a decision.
Erne has a national reputation as
one of the fastest boys in the country
in the lightweight division, and his
wins over such men as Charley Neary.
Spike Robson, Young Corbett, Johnny
Summers, Tommy Quill, Jimmy Bonner
and many others substantiate his
claim.
Johnny Thompson, who will oppose
Erne, earned his cognomen of "Cy
clone” by his whirlwind style of box
ing, and his record compares favorably
with that of any lad in the game to
day. His battles with Battling Nelson,
George Memsic, “fighting” Dick Hy
land. Rufe Turner, Charley Neary,
Rudolph Unholz and numerous other
good men have stamped him as a ster
ling performer.
His only appearance in the East was
in Boston last November, when he box
ed a draw with Kid Goodman in 12
rounds of the fastest milling ever
seen in this city.
The semi-final has as principals Bill
McKinnon of Roxbury, who seems to
have improved with every bout he
boxes, and Sailor Brown of New York,
who enjoys an enviable reputation in
■ his home town. This bout is slated for
eight rounds and should prove a hum
mer, as both men are of the type that
make an interesting and live set-to.
The three-round try-out bouts held
at the dub last Tuesday evening made
a hit with the members and the
matchmaker has decided to put on
some more at the show next Tuesday
evening.

Haiti is described by Rear-Admiral
Colby M. Chester as a “degenerating
island." and lie presents facts to show
that Haiti is falling back into a con
dition of barbarism. It is getting
blacker and blacker, the white element
having been practically exterminated
or removed from the island. It is
the one country in the world where
white blood is at a discount. \ oo
dooism is still practiced, and Admiral
Chester tells of an olfleer of the United
States navy who stumbled by acci
dent into a voodoo meeting held in the
thick woods with horrible ceremonial.
After being threatened with death he
•watched for a good opportunity and
ran for his very life, not stopping until
he reached the protection of his ship.
This otticer lias to his credit one of the
most gallant deeds enacted during the
Civil War, but his comrades on board
hie ship said they never saw a man
more frightened than he was when he
returned to them, and he himself says
the memory of the event produces a
horrible nightmare which he will never
be able to overcome.
Owing to the spreading by rats of
trichinosis among swine, the German
imperial chancellor has issued a re
) ceipt for the extermination of the rat
’ in any district where trichinosis oc
