Bowdoin wins the college championship
at baseball, and Hancock county boy is
captain of the nine-Andy P. Havey, of
West Sullivan. Havey had the unusual
honor OF being made captain in his junior
year, and he was unanimously reelected
in his senior year, and he has the unique
distinction of twice bringing the cham
pionshlp to Bowdoin. First base is his
position, though he went to short stop
last year, to strengthen a weak spot. He
Is heavy hitter, and during his whole
course has either led the team, or been
very near the top Of the list. Capt. Havey
prepared for college at Kent's Hill. He
is a most popular leader, though always
strict in discipline. His younger brother
is the star pitcher on the Hebron academy
team, which has the first place among the
Maine preparatory schools. And there
are other Haveys In West Sullivan who
know how to play baseball-s little Older
than these two boys, but "still in the
ring".

the commission should make its rules

that the commission had no power TO

and the Int arstate Commerce act oil Con-

the ules relate TO the duties to be per-
10, med by common car iers and not to
their rates or charges for tire transportation;
that it was within the jurisdiction OF the
commission to regulate public duties OF

THE FARCE AT Underwater.

Prof. Langley's queer choice OF a
name for his aerial craft seems not
to have deferred the newspaper re-
porters, correspondents and sketch
artists from approaching close
enough to discover that 80 far the
whole play on the waters OF the Po'
tomac has been a fiasco and q farce.
Wrapped in a veil OF mystery, about
as impenetrable as an executive ses-
sion OF the United States Senate, the
hall dozen or so scientists, who
are drawing pay from the govern
ment while they amuse themselves
with a summer outing along the
Potomac, have succeeded so far in
demonstrating to tie world some
thing not exactly new and very
mrch In keeping with the we'll estab-
lishsd fact that whatever goes up Is
bound to come down. Presto, the
buzzard, or rather the young buzz
card, the old one not yet having ac-
quired that confidence necessary to
attempt flight, has been rudely must
led from it's resting place on the ark
and sent forth, like Noah's weary
dove, on a voyage OF discovery.
Sad as it may seem, this youthful
product OF United States dollars
failed signally to discover whether
Saturn and Venus and Jupiter and
all the rest are populated by nymphs
and satyrs or whether the moon Is
made OF green cheese or whether the
Milky Way is simply a conglomera
tion Of air waves elong which Mar
coni's wireless messages scint'late,
but instead, wonderful to relate, this
scientific marvel seems to have play
ed hide and seek for some minutes,
until interrupted by the outraged
scientists, with the cat fish and cells
and minnows at the bottom OF the
great waters. Science has made
wonderful strides, and far be it from
US to laugh in derision at the ell
forts OF the five dollar a day variety
now conducting operations on the
Potomac, but we do assert, and we
challenge contradiction when we
cry, that an expectant public Is en-
titled to something more spectacular
than has yet been furnished by the
Langley inventors. That the news
paper men have been put to unneees-
sary exertions to discover something
when there was nothing to discover
cannot be doubted, and We affirm
once more that Prof. Langley should
furnish some excitement or resign his
lob.
