The unfortunate accident at the Sat
urday game at Orono by which Kendall,
the Bates second baseman, sustained q
broken leg, is the first serious accident
which Maine college baseball has
known in many years. In one of the
big league games, last<week, a similar
accident occurred apd another one in
a college game in Massachusetts,
though in each case it was the player
sliding for the base whose leg was
broken. rather than the man on the
base as in this case. Kendall is one of
the best athletes at Bates and the team
suffers severely through his loss He
was prominent in football, last fall. and
his remarkable work in "hurdling" the
line was one of the features of the
Maine season and gained his side many
yards. He is graduate of Bucksport
Seminary.

In driving them away. '~
The annual rush Of campers has

is pretty good fishing in the Sapello,

This is one of the latest seasons
ever known on the upper Sapello. The

We are glad that the person who
predicted the sweeping away OF tho

false prophet. However, with few
more days Of such rain as we had
might have proved disastrous, not
only to Las Vegas, but also to the
mountain settlements. AS 1t was, the
Sapcllo was about as high as we have

thunder shower would have caused
1t to play havoc with fields and build
