Boston, Nov Fixing Alfonso of
Spain Will honor the country with
which his own was at war but 10 years
ago by sending to Marblchead a small
yacht Of the sender class to participate
i'll an international match to be sailed
off Marhlehcad III the summer Of 1870
The Eastern Yacht Club announces
that preliminary arrangements lave
been completed between that club and
the Federation Of Spanish Yacht Clubs
for the match.
This announcement is a result of the
visit to Spain last summer o.; an
American team of three yachts of the
team of Spanish boats at Bilbao and
san Sebastian.
King Alfonso was present during this
match. which resulted favorably for
the Spaniards, although the Americans
took some minor prizes. The Kings in
terest and encouragement led the
Spanish yachtsmen to express q Will!
ingneSS to participate i'll Il return
match in Anne rican waters, which
doubtless would have been held the
coming summer had not the Eastern
Yacht Club previously arranged for Il
match With the Germans, AGAINST
whom they have twice raced, each side
winning 4 match. Feeling that if two

Lewiston Journal: "Colby's decision that
she does not care to keep her team in con-
dition for two weeks III order to play off a
possible tie for championship has sub
tracted little interest from the Maine
Bovdon game Saturday, which has a
great interest in itself, regardless of its
effect on the championship. Maine
would take as much pleasure in winning
from Rowdoin as she would to win the
State series, and those acquainted with
the situation at Maine say that there is
',erg some tall hustlng done this week
by the team. Bates victory over Bow
doin gave Maine lot of hope. but it is
realized that it may mean nothing as an
indicator of what is to come Saturday. A
few local people will travel to Bangor to
see the game"

This talk about playing off tie for the
championship reminds Bates men that if
any game is to be played in addition to
these regularly scheduled it should be
playing over of the Colby-Bates game at
Waterv;lle October II. Bates did not pro-
test that game. as was at first proposed
hut it will always feel that Colby had
no right to the victory which is credited
it in this instance. There is no longer any
suggestion that any official meant to be
unfair or to favor Colby at the expense
of Bates, but it is not denied that the Of
fetal blundered when he took the ball
from Bates and gave it to Colby when he
imposed a penalty on Bates of half the
distance to it's goal line for rough play
ing There is no authority in the rules
for this. and the mistake placed Colby
within striking distance for the FIRST and
only time of the game. 1t is altogether
likely that it would have been no score
game if the officials had not gone beyond
their authority in this one instance. Had
Bates actually made its protest and urged
he playing over of the game it seems
probable that Colby. would have been
willing to do so. AS things stand now
there is decided cloud upon the Colby
victory of October II. and consequently
upon any claim it may have to be tied
with the winners of tomorrow's game at
Orono.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1908-11-13

matter how it comes out there will be
a tie for the championship. Bates is
out of it, having won one game and
lost two. Colby is sure To be in the
tie, having won two and lost one
Bowdoin and Maine have each won
one and lost one and they play at
Orono Saturday. The winner will be
tied with Colby. If Bowdoin should
win over Maine she would have to
play Colby for the championship, a
team she has already beaten. If
Maine wins she will be tied with
Colby. a team which defeated her last
Saturday. This standing is figured
on games won and lost. If scores
should decide the championship a vic
tory for Maine over Bowdoin gives
Colby the championship, while a vic
tory for Bowdoin would give the
championship to the Brunswick
college"

CHARLES +. POTTER.
A GOOD TRAIT.

The late King Carlos of Portugal. jO-
vial, but a spendthrift, seems to have
done some good at least for his country
in leaving his son Manuel as its king.
The young king shows a sense of re
sponsibility and of duty that should
augur well for his country and its fu-
ture under his guiding hand. His lat
est act gives an insight into his char
acter that is pleasing in the extreme.
The crown jewels of Portugal are val
ued at $o,OON.OOO and are the property
of the state and not of the royal fam
lily. 1t appears that certain of these
jewels to the value of ST50,oOo have
been sold without the sanction of the
government. This action was charged
against the late king who was believed
to have appropriated the money in or
der to satisfy some Of his eXtravagant
whims. Instead of trying in any man
ner to shield the memory Of his father
the young king ordered an inventory or
the crown jewels to be made and the
report that followed showed that the
suspicious were we'll founded and that
there were about $500 worth of the
jewels missing. King Manuel. who
could not be held accountable by law
for these jewels, has announced that he
will make good the loss. In other
words he takes upon himself the full
Indebtedness OF S75O,no0 and expects
to pay in that sum to his country's
treasury in the course of the next few
years. In America ii is not an I'M
common occurrence for a son to settle
in full for Indebtedness contracted by
his father. but in Europe, infested as t
Is with decaying and degenerate no
bility and royal families. this action of
PortugarS nineteen-yCar-oId king
comes as a pleasant surprise.
