Togus, Me-, Sept. 27.-tSpeciaD.-The
baseball season at the Home has
closed with a good record for the team,
having won 49, claimed one by forfeit and
lost 9. This seems to be a good record
as the boys played the best variety of
teams in this vicinity.
Much credit is due the pitching staff,
to Lizotte who seemed to go up against
the heavy teams, to Hendee for his hard
work coaching the team in practice. SAT-
ford also did good work in the box, and
with stick, batting for 1859.
Wardwell, the back STOP was another
good man on the team, his fine arm
catching many runners trying to steal
bases.
Davis at second played the game all the
time, getting many hard balls and figur-
ting in many double plays.
With Hayes on first, Lizotte at short
and Hendee at third, it was a fast infield
and many a fast game was won by these
fast players.
The outfield was we'll taken care of
and when Staples in left, Gould ip center

Worcester, Mass, Sept. 2.-Holy Cross
was defeated Saturday by Colby in her
first game of the season on Fitton field.
The local collegians at no time being
capable of holding or overcoming the
Maine visitors Both teams played first
game in the first period but from the Sec
ond until the final quarter of the game
the Colby aggregation of football players
outclassed the Mt. st. James boys at all
stages of the game.
Fraser. the left halfback of the Colby
team, played a star game, his playing be-
ing the feature of the contest Time and
time again re broke through the Holy
Gross line for big gains and twice carried
the pigsllin over the opponents goal. Also
participating in a goal from the field
from the 1o-yard line. The Holy Cross
boys were greatly outweighed by Colby.

of the Eastern clubs to invade Chi
cago for the season, divided a double
header with the locals, winning the
first game to 6, while Chicago took
the second, to 8, after seven innings

Collins wildness in walking two men
in the ninth inning, followed by a
triple by Lewis, gave the visitors the
first game, while the second, which
was nip and tuck, went to Chicago in
the seventh inning when base on

third, and Blackburn's single scored

Have you heard Of the great Puzzle
Contest.
That's growing each day that goes by,
To such gigantic proportions,
The editors ready to fly?
He says he is worn to "frazzle,"
And who can wonder, pray
sWhen they read the nonsensical Ques-

u7e is called on to answer each day?
ITS. "Hows shall I write in my an
swers-s
Shall use pencil or penn"
And when he replies to all Monday,
On Tuesday must answer again.
The pictures are not drawn to suit
them;
Each leaf on a tree ought to show,
And wouldn't the editor tell them,
Why this one was drawn thus and SO?
Still anothers afraid he's cheated
That something about it's mot fair;
And so, in endless procession,
Contestants their troubles still air.

C0NY HIGH BEGINS SEASON
bYDEFEATINC SK0NHEGAN BY
4 SCORE OF 81 TO ZERO

Z outclassed and soon lost the ball on
downs. The night was not out of them,
however, for they recovered the ball
by likewise holding for downs, but
again lost 1t in the same way. Cram
replaced Sprague at left tackle for
Cony and the local boys by straight
rushing up the field got within strik-
ing distance but the lighter team
, St!ffened and Purinton was forced to
| punt. Cony soon recovered the ball by
Skovhesan's punting and in a speedy
manner carried it up the field. Two at
tempts at forward pass failed but
touchdown through this particular
play was shown not to be needed when
; Turner could rip through tackle and
land the ball over the line. Purinton
kicked his fourth out of five goals
ard placed the final score at "a to
victory for Cony.
The local team played football from
start to finish and were easily the supe-
riors of their opponents at all times On
account OF this it is difficult to determine
what future prospects for the team may
be; but certain traits were shown which
represent characteristics that any win
ming team must possess. Skowhegan had
speed but Cony had more; though Cony
has a light team, Skowhegan had a light
err one; and at all times was the more
machine-lke working Of the local team
in evidence. This must be attributed to
coaching and the more training Cony re-
ceives the more perfect football machine
will she have.
Coach Merrill should be complimented
on the results of his Iabors as exposed in
Saturdays game If such an exhibition
can be given after so short a period of
training, on the part of Cony, it is fair
to assume that the degree of perfection
which she will reach in a season will
bring her not a few honors.
The lineup was as follows:

strong Bowdoin second team found West
brook Seminary an easy proposition Sat
urday afternoon and piled up a score of

drance, gave the Bowdoin men the VIC
tory.

downs after repeated line plunging by the
college backs. Mannix kicked one goal
and failed on the other, the quarter end
ing with the score 10 to for the COL

down In less than two minutes, after in
tercepting a forward pass and making a
quarter ended following Mannix's 40-yard
run for a touchdown and his successful
kicking of the goal. Score 27 to 0.
The last half was merely a succession
of scores for the Bowdoin men, brought
about by line bucking and the successful
working of forward passes. In this quar-
ter "Dannie" Mannix of Bowdoin kicked
clean goal from the field. The quar-
ter ended with the score 80 to o.

would it be correct to use part of the

to use Acton and Denmark? The key

think l have used too many names.
Can I draw a line through them?
Would it be all right?

"The land OF unlimited possibilities
and conquered impossibilities" is what
Baroness Bertha Won Suttner calls
America.
"It is to America, the young. new
world, exuberant in strength, glad in
its daring, that tired, cynical Europe
looks to find new hope and faith in
progress" says the baroness. who
declares that Europe is being Ameri.
canized by returning immigrants.
But" she says, sit is a pity that
so few people of our better educated

Americans travel here. But, do you
know, have often wondered If you
know us as well as you know our art
and antiquities.
"One Of my dear American friends
confided to me that they, she and her
husband, had never been in private
home in Europe until they visited
me.
Even though everything is not rosy
in your political arena, though there
is brazen-faced practice of corruption
how do you call 1t, graft, trusts.

ditions as complex and problems as
difficult as everywhere else, we look
to you for the solution, for America
