HEBRON ACADEMY 5; NORWAY 8.
The first ball game Of the season a

afternoon, and although the weather
was cold and disagreeable 1t did moi
prevent good crowd from coming ou
to witness the game. The grounds were
in excellent condition considering the
backwardness of the season, and II VIC

the first Patriots day to be observed IL
this vicinity would have been much en-
joyed.
The game was more evenly contested
than the first game usually is, and al
though Hebron held the lead all the
time she was never far enough ahead to
feel secure. There were no specially
fast plays, but perhaps one of the
catches of Pond, Hebron's left fielder,
deserves mention, as he caught and held
the ball while going at top speed.
Sawyer and Mcfarland, the Hebron
pitchers, both did good work. Sawyer

land the last three, the game being call.
ed at the end of the eighth inning on
account of rain. Sawyer's best work
was in the first inning, when with men
on second and third and no one out he
struck out the next three batters.
The Norway team was composed OF
Norway boys with the exceptions OF
Monk and Parlin of this village, Parlin
doing the pitching. Regardless of the
fact that he has had no practice this
spring, he pitched fine game, allowing
Hebron only five hits and striking out
ten men. He was considerably handi-
capped by being obliged to pitch to a
young catcher, who had never caught
him before, and he did not feel safe to
use all his speed.
The team that represented Norway
Friday, like a great many of the teams
that have represented Norway in the
past few years, was woefully weak in
batting. While they could field very
we'll, it takes good batsmen to win a
ball game, and the team that has the
best batters usually comes out on top.
Following is the score of the game:

READILY YIELD TO SOOTHING, HEALING
TREATMENT OF HYoMEI.
Bronchial troubles are purely local.
They cannot be helped by stomach dos
ing. They are caused by irritation in
the air passages and can be relieved and
cured by medicated air alone. In this
lies the secret of the great success OF
Hy-o-mei in the treatment Of bronchial
troubles.
The first breath of Hy-o-mei's medi-
Gated air soothes the Inflammation, stops
the cough, and relief soon becomes
permanent and a cure results.
Hy-o-mei has made many remarkable
cures in the worst and most chronic
forms of bronchial troubles and is sold
by F. A. Shurtleff & Co., with the same
guarantee as they give when Hy-o-mei is
purchased for catarrb, that is, to refund
the money in case the remedy does not
give satisfaction. The complete outfit
costs but s1.00.

by Leslie Francis Jordan, Arthur Lowell
Deering, Ralph Gordon Charles OF
Bridgton Academy; the negative by
Ernest Gibson Fifield, Clinton Perham
Rowe, Abraham Jacob Somes, of Frye
burg Academy. The debate was sus
tanned throughout at high grade. The
two teams were very evenly matched in
the general delivery of their arguments,
but in knowledge of the subject, logi
cal deduction, and convincing statement
the odds were decidedly in favor of the
negative.
The judges for the evening were Rev.
S. T. Livingston, Rev. William Wood,
and Principal Thomas c. Tooker of the
Bridgton High School. Music was
furnished by the Bridgton Academy
orchestra under the direction of Mrs
Sadie Scribner. The presiding officer
was j. Bennett Pike, Esq, of Harrison

the big OK owned by Gus Harmon OF
Foxcroft and which is being used for

has been carefully trained and is as
steady and gentle as if he had always
been used without the companionship OF

fellow and can get over the road at fast
walk. A common back. saddle such at

used but the animal is guided with the

cheaper than by using horses.
