Argus: The fight in the Maine League
this season promises to be the most ex-
citing in its histaSS. The clubs with one
or two exceptions are evenly matched
and those that have weak spots will be
ma tcriaily strengthened in the near fu-
ture. The teams are all hacked well
financially and there is very little doubt
but that they will al be in tthe finish.
Portland Advertiser Jean. who for a
short time last season was a member of
the Portland team, is now playing center
for New Britain in the National League.
Manager Burnhan released Jean because
he was so slow and clumsy that he could
hardly get out of his own way, but since
that time Jean has, according to all ac-
counts, developed wonderfully and he IS
considered at present to be one OF the
very best centers playing polo.
Furbush is being utilized as a spare man
by Hartford. He did not care TO play IN
Maine This season, 50 he now has III"
pleasure Of warming a bench during
most of the games.
