MILITARY BASEBALL.
Line Officers Trim Medical Corps and
Staff in Annual Game.

One Of the events of the closing days
of the school of instruction for the
officers of the Second Infantry, which
has been in progress on the State
campground on Western avenue since
last Tuesday and which closes today,
was the baseball game Thursday at
ernoon between teams representing the
line officers and the Medical Corps and
staff.
This ball game is an annual affair,
and the interest which each year GEN.
ters in it on the part of the two or
CARNATIONS which the teams represent
as well as on that of the members of
the Second Infantry in general is not
exceeded even by that of the big
leagues, nor do the players in the big
leagues enter the games with any
more earnestness and desire to win
than is manifested by those who an
nually struggle for supremacy on the
diamond of the State campground.
Thursdays game was won by the line
officers with score of 80, and the
boys of the team were feeling partic-
ularly jubilant Friday, inasmuch as
the game Of 1913 went the other way.
The personnel of the two teams was
as follows:
Line Oficers-Lieut. Millett of B Co.,
c; Lieut.. Davis of f. Co, p; Lieut.
Savage of M. Co, 1b; Lieut.. ODon-
nell of H. Co, 2b; Capt. Hadley of B

CHANGES IN MAKEUP
OF LEWISTON TEAM

Lewiston, Me-, June 12.-When Own
er Burns of the Cupids arrives in town
something usually happens. In the
first place the team plays better ball
and shows more life. This has been
true every thine that he has come TO
the city.
Burns got in on the noon train
Thursday and before night a number
of changes, for better or worse, had
been made. In the first place it was
announced that Harry Wormwood Ct
Auburn will be given chance. Worm
wood was taken to Portland today
and will probably play in right field.
He may possibly pitch against his old
teammates in Lewiston Saturday
Norwood may not be the best player
in the New England League but he
is certainly as good if not better than
some of the men who have been on
the Lewiston payroll He is a good
fielder and last year hit for pa. As a
coacher he is superior to anything on
the Lewiston team. He is popular in
Lewiston and Auburn and many are
glad that he is finally to be given an
opportunity.
Gus Yelle has also been released, be-
ing sent to Haverhill as a little heart
balm for Dan Clohecy. Clohecy was
peeved when the O'Connell- Reiger deal
fell through but said that he would
call things satisfactory if he could
have Yelle. He was told that he could
as soon as Lewiston secured another
infielder and as Smith has appeared
on the scene of action, Yelle leaves.
Gus has been a handy man to have
but not a strong player and the team
is not weakened by his absence.
The third change made was the re-
lease of Temple. The reason given is
that Lewiston has four pitchers now
in the persons of Carlow, Baum, Brig
nolia and Radloff and that the club
doesn't need five. This move on the
part of Burns is likely to cause lot
of criticism. Temple may not be a
finished pitcher and certainly hat a
lot to learn. He is not lazy. however,
and always did his best. He had speed
and as a hitter was star, betting a
great help to the team in the batting
department. 1t is hard to see how
Temple could be released and Radon,
a man who Is always hit hard and
whose work with the bat Is very weak,
retained. Probably the management
has a good reason but the fans who
have seen both men work, are yet to
be convinced.-Lewiston Journal.

PREDICTS REPUBLICAN
LANDSLIDE ALL over
COUNTRY next FALL

Portland, Me, June 12.-CoL E. C.
Plummer Of Bath was in this city Thurs
day and he declares that Republican
landslide all over the country is due this
fall He is positive from his inquiries
in Washington that the Republicans will
control the House after the November
elections. He attributes the reversal OF
feeling against President Wilson as due
to the business depression and the uncer-
tainty of the Wilson policies, not only in
the Mexican situation but in other I'M
portant issues He is also confident that
the Progressive party is dead as a ma
tional organization ard exists in but
few states in sufficient strength to injure
Republican candidates. He declares
President Wilson the most unpopular
chief Executive in the White House for
80 years.

ODDS WITH
AMERICANS
POLO TEAM
First Contest of the
Series Today at
Westbury

New York, June 12.-The first in
ternational trophy contest of 1914 will
be staged at the Meadowbrook Club,
Westbury, L. l., tomorrow afternoon
when representative polo teams of
the two nations meet in the initial
struggle for the possession of the
massive silver cup emblematic of
world supremacy in this sport
There is every indication of thrill
ing play on the velvet turf of the
championship field, with the invading
four having an even chance against
the cup holder Although the odds
in the wagering favor the American
team, to 5, this is due principally
to the injuries and subsequent de-
lays experienced by the English team
rather than to any particular strength
of the defending four over the chal-
lengers.
The grooms now fear that every
day will take a little of the speed and
stamina from the Invaders, mounts.
The American players and ponies.
on the other hand, are on edge.
The uncertainty that lends zest to
the contest, however. has caused a
record sale of seats. The leading no.
tells of both this city and Long Is
land were filled toniCht with polo en-
thusiasts.
Wagering on the outcome is not
over brisk, due to the lack of English
money. The odds generally quoted are
to 5 on the American four to win
the series of two games out of three,
with 10 to quoted on an American
victory tomorrow.
Both teams rested today. Some of
the members of the American team
spent the day with C. P. Whitney on
his yacht on the Sound and the Eng
lish challengers motored about Long

MAI, PHILbROOK DOES
NOT WANT FIRE Chief
POSITION IN PORTLAND

Portland Me-, June 12.-Maj. E. f.
Philbrook of this city says he would
not resign as chairman of the Re-
publican county committee to become
chief of the fire department and he
is at loss to understand how his name
came to be mixed up in any rumor
of the sort. He never heard of the
alleged plan until this morning and
had never been consulted in any way.
He is too much engrossed in his pres
ent position and the pleasure of help
ing win the county in September to
be taken out of politics by being made
chief of the fire or any other city de-
partment.
1t is believed that conference OF
majority members of the city govern
ment will be had within a short time
and that later a chief will be elected,
either one of the candidates who have
received ballots in previous meetings
or compromise candidate, satisfac-
tory to all concerned.
