son showed that he was a good actor

when a boxer wants to win on foul.
Promoter Coffroth of San Francisco
wanted to match the pair for another

Principals Cobb and
Conant Are Satisfied

Principal Henry w. Cobb of Cony
High school when interviewed Tues
day evening by a Journal man gave
out the following statement:
There has never been any desire
on the part of Cony High school to
sever athletic relations with Gardi-
ner High. The rumor has been spread
broadcast through the papers and by
other means that Cony did not care
to play Gardiner. l wish TO state this
is not so.
1T was simply mixup when max
ing out the schedule why the down
river school was not included.
Il have talked the matter over with
Principal Conant of Gardiner and we
have decided to leave the matter en-
tirely in the hands of the Board of
Arbitration. That board decided that
a game should be played Memorial
day at Gardiner and as far as l know
there will be a game that day played
strictly under the rules of the board.

The Decision

The decision as made is contained

was late Tuesday afternoon handed to
the respective principals of the
schools
Hallowell, Me, May 10, 1914.
At a meeting of the Board of Con-
troll held this day, 1t was voted:
That the Cony High school and the
Gardiner High school be permitted to

day, May 30th.
That said game be played in Gar
diner.
That lists of eligible players be ex-
changed by the principals of said
schools at least five days before said
game, and a list of umpires be sub
mitted to said board, in accordance
