Bates VS.. Colby at 3 p. M. Today.

The game between Colby and Bates
on Quimby field this afternoon will be
called at 3 o'clock. which is somewhat
earlier than the games which have
been played by other teams the pres
ent season. Colby and Bates are two
of the strongest of the college league
of Maine. all of which are tied for the
championship.
A fact that lends interest to the con-
test is that three Gardiner boys are
members of the Bates team. Harri-
man. the crack pitcher. will be in the
box; Freeman Clason is expected to APP
pear at right field and Ray Cobb's po-
sitiOn is second base.
The reason why the game is played
in Gardiner is that this city is neutral
ground. The game is not champion
ship contest, but that will not detract
from the interest. as it is an actual
end Of the season measuring or
strength between the two mines.

conditions which seemed to preclude
all chances of high score bowling, the

This was perhaps partially due to the
