The team missed SWenson, although Langhanl- neF. gave a good account of himself. s0i. sRoxey Roach had to work harder than usual and the big fellow made piles of trouble for Troy. He did some clever blocking in addition. to shooting two goals himself. Beck man was not going as well as he ordinarily does but Leonard showed Improvement over his previous work.
 WaIlum was also unable to appear with Troy but the aggregation was too strong without him. The. Troy players had passing down to a science and although their shooting was poor in the early part of the last half they got the range before the final whistle. Gorrigan and Daniels each tallied. six goals for them. ~ .e.
 In. the first half Troy cut loose with a fine display of passing and the Rib bons appeared bewiIdered. They took a, brace, however, and managed to hold the visitors to a 22 to 1T score when the half ended. The Ribbons came back strongly in the last period and soon passed Troy. The locals led by 31 to 26 at one time but could not hold Troy when the enemy made a final desperate attack in the last five minutes. The score:

BRICKLEY DENIES

 AS FOOTBALL COACH

The recent report that Charley Brickley, Haryard's captain this year, was to be a coach next year at a western college was denied yesterday, when Brickley said definitely that he intended to go into business in New York directly after he graduated Brick1ey has had his plans made for some time concerning his work after college. and it is unlikely that he will do much more with football unless he comes back to Cambridge for a shoft while each fall and helps the Harvard team along.
 The latest report was that Iowa Az riculturaI College of Ames, Iowa, had made an offer to Brickley to coach their team next year. Two men prom inent in athletics there are said to- be on their way east to see Brick1ey. They are unlikely to meet with any success, for Brick1ey has made his plans for business

The baseball writers have been so busy selling the various big league franchises this winter that not much attention has been paid to the Bridge port baseball club. Secretary Reddy declares however, that three different men are after the club and it is likely to be sold within the next month. Two of the bidders are residents of this city and the other is from New York. The New York has made the best of fer so far but Owner Freeman would prefer to sell the club to a Bridge porter if possible.

The Republican State Convention

AZ have the honor to inform you
that this is the largest State conven-
ton ever held in Maine!'
Such was the report of Judge Sim
mons for the committee on credentials
Viewed from this standpoint only, this
record breaking gathering was of two
fold significance. 1t not only demon
strated the vitality and loyalty of the
Republican organization, but, as Con-
gresham Kelley forcibly pointed out,
it emphasized the fact that the Re-
publican party is party of princi-
pies. For, aside from a few formal
matters relative to the party ma
sehinery, the sole business of this great
convention was the adoption of plat
form.
Without the stimulus of personal
contests, and without spectacular or
4other features to attract them, this
ssplendidly representative body of men
assembled from all parts of the State
party creed.
The oratory was sincere, convincing,
inspiring. Congressman Peters ad-
dress was worthy of his great abil-
titles. The speech of Ex-Governor Fer
maid was one of the very best efforts
of that splendid and stalwart Repub-
lican Congressman Kelley of Michi-
gan, who came to Maine upon the
Invitation of Congressman Peters,
an orator. His clear exposition of Re-
publican principles as eontrasted with
sthe weak and un-American policies of
the Wilson administration, interspersed
with brilliant and incisive sallies of
wit and humor, held the delighted at
tention of the convention.
Our standard bearer to be, Governor
Haines, fully merited the glad hand
accorded to his mastery presentation
Of the issues of the coming campaign.
He was certainly at his best.
But the real business of the conven-
ton was the adoption of a platform.
Quietly, earnestly, tremendously, the
convention did its work. There was
no straddling, no evasion, no tenn
porizing. Each plank of that splendid
1y progressive document goes straight
to the mark. On that great platform of
progress and uplift the Republican
party of Maine has set the seal of its
approval. And there will be found
shoulder to shoulder with the Repub-
leans in September every man of
clear vision who stands for the prin-
riples embodied in that platform, in
Guiding many of these temporary adj
herents Of the Progressive party who

The letter of Rev. D. Paseoe of
Hamilton, Ont. to the editor of the
St Thomas (ont.) Times, which pub
lished a notice of his death, reminds
one somewhat of the denial by the late
Mark Twain some years ago of a pub
lished report of his death. DR..
Paseoe wrote: q learn for the first
time that l am dead. It came as a
big surprise to me when l read it in
your paper. If what l read in your
paper is true, my corpse should be
resting where my dead are lying-in
st. Thomas Cemetery. When 1 am
really dead it will Cd. W be lying
there. At present I have no immediate
intention of occupying that place of
rest"

"Cy" Warman Dead.

Thousands of people will regret the
death of Cy Warman, the Poet of
the Rockies" and short story writer,
who passed away Tuesday at Chicago.
after long illness with paralysis.
He began active life railroading, Civ
ing up his engineers berth on account
of illness and taking up a reporters
and publishers work Neither was
successful and he helped out on the
expense by writing short poems and
bits of prose. The piece that at
tracted attention and began to make
him famous was the following, written
when he was said to have been I'M
usually depressed and downhearted:
But there's consolation
In the thought that when we're dead,
Ii we have written something good
Our efforts will be read
And friends will plant forget me-nots
And come and sit and sigh,
And irrigate our grave with tears
When we go off and die.
This attracted attention, and his
success was continuous afterward.
Warman was born in 1856 near Green
up, H., on a homestead presented to
his father by the government for gal
liant service in the Mexican war.
The poet married Miss Marie Myrtle
Jones, who inspired the lines for
Sweet Marie a song which became
a great success.

Down fell her spectacles upon the floor,
Amazed she stared, was for a moment

Frank E. Hall, the well-known Ban

mourning over what he considered the
total loss of his best violin, an Ital-
ian instrument which he believes to
be nearly 200 years old and values it
at least at $500, although it was not
for sale. One cold night early in the
winter ne was returning from an en-
gagement when a sudden lureh of the
sleigh threw the violin case out and it
was run over. the horse stepping upon
it. The violin was pulverized into small
bits and appeared far beyond all
hopes of repair. Mr.. Hall took the re-
mains to c. A. Davis just to show him
how totally ruined fiddle looked. Mr..
Davis allowed that sicker cats had
lived. For weeks he worked upon 1t
gluing ii together bit by bit until
much to Mr.. Halls amazement and
delight he returned the instrument
completely restored and not impaired
