CAPT. WILLIAMS RESIGNS.
Bates Track Leader Gives Up Position
on Account Of Work.

Lewiston, Me, April S.-(SpeciaD. -
Word was passed around at Bates
college this evening that Captain John
l.. Williams of the college track team
had prepared his resignation and that
the same would be passed up to the
Athletic Association next week to be
acted upon. Captain Williams says in
his resignation that the responsibility
of captain conflicts too much with his
regular college work and that it will be
impossible for him to continue in the
capacity OF leader. He stated that he
would continue his track work and
would keep in condition for the two
Intercollegiate meets which Bates will
have this spring. The resignation will
take effect as soon as the Association
can act upon the same. 1t is thought
probable that they will accept the
resignation because Williams is only
a Junior and has another year in
which he will do track work for the
college There are six Seniors who
and one of these men will probably re-
ceive the position. OF these men Irish
is the only man who has won a b" i,
having won the half mile run at the
NJ. |. II. meet two years ago at Water

class who are eligible are, Cakes,

B0WD0IN NINE BEGINS
PRACTICE ON the DELTA.

Brunswick, Me, April S.-(SpeciaD.-
The first outdoor baseball practice of
the season was held yesterday after
noon on the Delta, as Whittier field
is no5 vet IN condition. About 60 men
turned out to participate in til" fast
practice conducted by Coach Rawson
and captain Manter. The men have all
recovered from the effects of the New
York trip. where considerable cold
weather was encountered. and are all
in good share
The trip. while unsuccessful from the
standpoint of winning games. will un-
doubtedly prove of value in giving
Coach Rawson an opportunity to size
up the dlfts rent men and to discover
the weak places The trip showed that
considerable attention must be devoted
To the pitching problem. as Manter was
thu only man who showed up in first
class form, although Holt gave signs
Of promise. Harris did not attempt any
pitching on the trip because of a lame
arm. out he should be in shape by next
week
The batting of the team on the trip
WAS also on a whole, weak. but this
was somewhat to be expected because
OF the lack of practice. A good deal of
attention will be devoted to this part
of The game for the next few weeks.
There will be no shifting around of
the men to any extent until practice
is held on Whittier field which will
probably be neXt Monday. The men are
much pleased With Rawson as coach.
