Joseph F. Harter, the clever young
outtielder that Manager Lake was
banking on to strengthen the Dove
outfield this year has decided not to
play professional ball. Harter played
with the Lawrence. New England
League team two years ago, but the
following season engaged in business
in his nome town. Newark, y j..
When playing with the Lawrence nine
he led the league in runs scored, ana
was one of the leaders in stolen bases
He was touted as one OF the best sun
felders in the business. and Fred Lake
thought well OF his possibilities.
Manager Jack O'ConnOr Of the
Browns may develop young Griggs
into a catcher. Griggs received the
highest raise of any of the Browns Tor
this season. OConnor thinks that an
experienced catcher is q rare commod-
itv, and he is particularly struck with
Griggs' physique If Ciriggs can hlt
as we'll as they claim, do not be sur
prised if he is classed among the best
catchers in the league at the end of
the season" says O'Connor, Griggs
filled the utility position last year.
Harry Wormwood of Auburn. who
last year made a good record in the
box for Fall River of the New England
League, mas not signed with them for
the coming season yet, but will prob
ably Join the team when spring prac-
tice begins the latter part of the
month WOrmwood is said to be not
quite satisfied with his place there, and
it is quite possible that he will be seen
on some other team this summer. He
did more work and helped win omre
victories last season thar many OF the
other players who have been drawing
bigger pay. Wormwood was used to
pitch three games a week much of the
time, and when he WAS not pitching
filed both out and infeld positions &C
and was accounted one OF the
most valuable men on the team.

Plans Completed
For Bates Meet.

Monday evening in City hall are compIet-
ed. Over 400 tickets have been sold i'll

Use of one of the largest crowds on rec
ord. The affair will be made more of an
indoor meet than an athletic exhibition
and the apparatus work will be largely
eliminated. The high bar. the parallel
bars and the mat work. which have gem
orally been put ON during the intermis-
sion, will not be given this year.
There will be two interesting races dur
ing the intermission. These will be the
hand stand and the obstacle races. The
entries for the hand stand race are: G.
BLY, II, VI. V. Bolster 10 J. J. Lamorey
IL, r. McCollister 10. W. F. Remmert
II. r. NJ. Pierce II. The obstacle race
will be a novel one and although the com
petitors will not be told the nature or
the obstacles until just before the race,
yet 1t has been limited by the manage
ment that they must be able to dress
quickly, crawl and sprint rapidly and
jump no mean distance.
Another feature will be the added mum
Der of relay races. Arrangements were
made Friday to have the Algonquins run
against the Lewiston High Freshman
team In four-man race. The local High
schools. the Bates and Bowdon Fresh
man teams. Westbrook Seminary and
Brunswick. and the interclass races will
furnish good lot of relay racing. Nine
competitive events are scheduled. which
will count for points towards the cham
pionship of the college.

UP NORTH.
Games of Polar Region Will Become
Popular With Young People.

The discovery of the North Pole has
aroused much interest in social cir.
cles. and North Pole parties and
games promise to be the rage Short
~ after DIR. Cooks dispatch announc-
ing his arrival appeared at a party
given by young people a young man
suggested:
Lets play North Pole game ?"
Great" cried all present in unison,
"but how"
I'll show you" the young man said
quickly. Lets have a large sheet of
paper-broWn. white or any color will
Go-and a pen and some ink"
The desired articles We're directly
Forthcoming and the young man drew
sketch showing the top of the world
and the pole rising from it. This he
pinned on the wall
''NoW we want some small Ameri-
can flags" said the young man. and
luckily quite number We're found.
The ladies and gentlemen present
We're each given a flag in one hand and
Il pin IN the other. and a young man
who was designated the referee blind
folded each one. turned each around
several times and then stood tie men
and women in a row AT the an
nouncement from the referee, "Now
for the dash for the North Pole" the
blindfolded column started forward
the ldea being to hin the flag to the
pole ahead of all others
The scene to the onlookers was most
amusing. as the blindfolded men and
women. all making for one spot,
iostled each other and several tripped
on or near the pole, which was rep
resented on the wall At the first at
tempt no one got near il though a
young woman did pin the flag on the
edge of the paper.
Several other attempts were mad"
and then finally two flags were pinned
on the pole in such a manner as to
occasion a discussion similar to the
Cook Pearv dispute as to which of the
two got there first. This lasted for
some time, hut was finally settled by
the referee who made the decision
that both got there and each was
therefore entitled to a prize.
This first North Pole party was such
a success that the young men and
women told all their friends and ac
uuaintances. and similar parties
quickly followed. Ices are served at
these affairs and a connection termed
the North Pole highball.' containing
a chunk of ice and lemon, with
stick in it representing the pole, is
the piece de resistance.
