NORWAY BASEBALL TEAM
HAS GOOD RECORD FOR 1909

Norway Me-, Oct 24.-After severa
years of dormant interest in baseball
Norway this year produced a nine tina,
challenged all corners and made a rec
ord that probably was not beaten by
any village baseball! team in this State
and possibly any in New England.
William Ieath was the leader of the
team, manager and pitcher. He threw
the spit BALI and struck out most
of the men who went onto the plate
He pitched 10 straight winning games
The Mohawks of Portland were the
best attraction of the season and
though the Norway nine outclassed
them the Mohawks gave them a run
FOR their money.
Norway won 10 games out of "a
played.

COLBY WINS FIRST GAME OF
maine CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES,
Defeats Bates College II to 3 in Holly
Contested Game at LeWistOn===The Two
Goods Do Star Work for Colby,
Making Several Long Runs.

Lewiston, Ne, Oct 24.-(SpeciaD. -
Nearly 1000 people saw Colby defeat Bates
here Saturday in the opening champion
ship game of the season in this State.
Without her captain, outWeighed about 10
pounds to a man, Bates deserves the
great credit of putting up one of the
college has ever played. Colby certainly
was the stronger. Her backs doomed up
over little Lombard Keaney and Bates
other backs like giants. But when 1t
comes to a matter of line, Bates proved
in this game just what football critics
have been trying to make the people be-

On one of these occasions Shepard, the
Gardiner Freshman, actually saved Bates
from being scored upon. 1t seemed only
a little thing but it really was a great
piece of headwork on the part of the
coaches who sent him in. He took Lom-
bard's place and went up into the line of
scrimmage Three plays We're hurled at
him but they failed to gain an inch.
Lombard played a plucky game at
quarterback He was so very light
against such odds that the coaches
thought it advisable to put in Remmert
in the last part of the second half Bates
linemen broke through and tackled COL
by for losses several times 1t fact Dor
man had slightly the better of Colbys
much heralded center Hamilton. But
Bates could not stop Colbys rushes,
while Colbys defence was too strong for
Bates. Time no doubt saved Colby in the
first half Bates was steadily advancing
the ball. Three end plays, a line plunge
and skillfully executed forward pass
put the ball on Colby's 12-yard line with
first down and Bates ball. But time
was up and Bates could not score. Bates
only score came after Colby's second
touchdown in the second half. Bates
rushed the ball to Colby's 20-yard line.
Here Keaney stepped back and sent over
a pretty drop kick
Both teams tried the forward pass. Col
by worked it successfully once and lost
twice on it. Bates gained a total of 40
yards on the two times she attempted it.
Bates tried the onsde kick four times. 1t
failed in three of the cases but on the
last try Dennis made 80 yards on it and
nearly got away in a clear field towards
Colby's goal. Colbys most successful play
was cross line buck. Sending her inter-
ference through one side of the line, she
sent the man with the ball around the
other end This gained several times
Bates fumbed two punts and recovered
one of them. The other went to Colby on
Bates 1O-yard line The game was fine
one to watch. There was much open play
and every inch was contested in a fierce
manner
Bates marched onto the field 400 strong
headed by the College Band. Bates team
soon appeared, foil owed in about five min
utes by Colby. Colby won the toss and
kicked to Lovely on Bates 10-yard line.
Lovely brought it back about 20 yards.
Then Bates began a series of line plunges
through the right side of Colby's line.
Lovely carried the ball and with the aid
of k-eaney on a couple of skin tackle
plays Bates brought the ball to the middle
of the field. Colby forced her to punt.
Then Colby began a lot of line plays and
on her third try Ralph Good slipped
away from the bunch and took the ball
to Bates 10-yard line before he was down.
ed. Then penalty on Bates for offside,
a line play and line buck by Stacy
carried the ball over. Welch kicked the
goal. Score: Colby 6. Bates o.
There was no more scoring this half.
The Good brothers made lot of gains
and brought the ball up into Bates ter
ritory after the kickoff. The teams then
had an interchange of punts in which
Bates was the gamer. Keaney outpunted
Welch throughout the game Bates got
the ball in about the center of the field
and rushed it to Colby's 12-yard line when
time was called

LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE.
Firms Devote Summer Months to En-
joyment and Pursuit Of Health.


In Finland everybody lives the sim
pie life in summer time. They camp
out on islands, in the forests and al
ways somewhere near the water, for
everybody swims and bathes. Almost
all classes sleep and eat al fresco at
this time of year, and the town coun-
ellis of the towns in this progressive
and altogether delightful little country
provide public fireplaces and public
bathing sheds In all places where the
working classes go in search Of fresh
air.
But the simple life is by no means
dull with the frisky Firms. They COM
bine 1t with a surprising amount of
gayety. They eat, drink and are merry
in their picturesque little log cabins
outside the cities.
When they are tired of bathing and
splashing they dance, they sing, they
watch fireworks and practice gymnas-
tics, they all become like children and
are the happiest, merriest, most good
natured, most easily pleased and most
healthy holiday makers In the world
We might take many leaves from the
Firms book.-Ladies' Pictorial.

Terms on Which Strangers May Enter
British House Of Commons.

One OF the most important altera-
lions which members of the British
house OF commons will notice when
they reassemble will be strangers
bureau. It's construction. which II now
in progress. is the sequel to the scenes
created by the suffragettes In the
house during last session. In the
last month of the autumn session as
the result of their conduct no stranger
was seen within the house of com
mons.
A committee was appointed to draw
up new rules for admission of
strangers. The members recommend
ed the passing Of an act making 1t q
criminal offense for strangers to brawl
within the chamber, and they also
recommended that strangers should
be made responsible for their own
good behavior and should sign pa,
per accepting that responsibility. That
being done the committee saw no REQ
son why women, as well as men,
should not be admitted to the
strangers gallery.
1t is in preparation for the change
that the new bureau is being made. AS
heretofore, tickets for the gallery will
be balloted for by members In ad-
vance.

Fools.

What do you suppose fools were
made for? That you might tread upon
them, and starve them, and get the
better of them in every possible way?
BY no means. They were made that
wise people might take care of them.
That is the true and plain fact con-
corning the relations of every strong
and wise man to the world about him.
He has his strength given him, not
that he may crush the weak, but that
he may support and guide them. In
his own household he is to be the
guide and support Of his children; out
of his household he is still to be the
father, that is, the guide and support
of the weak and the poor; not merely
of the meritoriously weak and the in
nocently poor, but of the guilty and
punishably poor; of the men who
ought to have known better; Of the
poor who ought to be ashamed Of
themselves.-John Ruskin.

Successful Business Man Must Have
Attribute Of Courage.

Many a man fails because he does
not dare to take risks, to take the
initiative.
When do you expect to do anything
distinctive in life? When do you ex-
pect to get out of the ranks Of
mediocrity? The men who do original
things are fearless. There is lot Of
dare in their makeup, a great deal Of
holiness. They are not afraid to take
chances, to shoulder responsibility, to
endure inconvenience and privation.
There never was time when the
quality of courage was so absolutely
indispensable in the business world
as it is to-day. 1t does not matter
how many success qualities you pos
sess, young man, if you lack courage
you will never get anywhere. Not
even honesty or perseverance will
take its place. There is no substi-
tute for courage.
1t does not matter how well edu-
Gated you may be, or how good a train
ing you may have had for your voca-
ton, If you are a hesitator, II you
lack that courage which dares to risk
all on your judgment, you will never
get above mediocrity
The men who stand at the top of
their line of endeavor stand there be-
cause they have the courage of their
convictions. They had the courage
to climb, had the nerve to undertake
even against the advice of others

PRUNING PEAR TREES.
Experiments to Prove the Value Of
Different Methods.

The following experiment In prun.
ing Kieffer pear trees was made last
season and will be repeated to deter.
mine the relative value Of time when
to prune, writes an Indiana farmer In
Farmers Review:
Experiment No. 1-One-half all new
wood was cut back before any sign OF
the bud expanding in the spring.
Experiment No. 2-Same was done
to other trees when buds were ready
to open.
Experiment No. 3-When in full
bloom and ready to drop the bloom
other trees were cut back one-half.
Nothing further was done, the trees
needing no pruning otherwise.
Now for results: they were just In
the order as was the pruning. Those
trees pruned early gave the best fruit
this year and the wood growth was
good Those pruned second did not dc
as well as the preceding, neither In
fruit nor wood. The third lot gave
poor fruit and but little wood growth.
This is only one trial. There may
have been other causes for this re
suit, but we expect to continue the
same process another season to de
termine the matter more fully. We
will also try the same process Oh
other varieties than Kieffer.
