Baseball, This Week.

Colby has two games scheduled for
this week, the first with Bates on the
college field, Wednesday afternoon, and
the second with Maine in Bangor, Sat
urday afternoon. Both promise to be
hard fights. Bates, although having
the hardest luck of all this year, show
ed her mettle by defeating Maine, and
may give Colby the same dose. Colby
is just as liable to drop the game as
to win it and it ought be be a good
fight.
The second game at Bangor will be
the last of the three between Maine
and Colby. Maine has won two and
bids fair to take the third. But Colby
will not give it up without q fight and
it may be a repetition of the last game
here. There have been extra innings
in both the games played by these
| teams, and the third one is expected
to be pretty hot. 1t is probable that a
large number will go over from here to
see the game.
Coburn has a game scheduled with
kent's Hill at KentS Hill for Saturday
of this week. This team still has n
chance for the championship in the In
terscholastic League, although it is per-
haps a slim one, Edward Little having
the lead just now.
