moose to pass through Bangor since
the game season opened at midnight
Sunday was inspected by the wardens
at the Bangor station Monday night.
It was shot near Wytopitlock by Will

the first to go through Bangor in 1914.

CONY HIGH HAS
SOME STRENUOUS
PRACTICE FOR GAME

Wednesday afternoons slight rain

days practice of the Cony High school
football squad on Reuel williams field.
A scrub game was staged between
Cony's regulars and the second eleven
under the leadership of Froberger,
which was by no means an easy af-
fair. The varsity easily demonstrated
their their superiority over their con-
testant but this was not without diff
ficulties. The snappy, steady and in
cessant scrap offered by the scrubs

get the seven touchdowns which were
made It was stiff anG c,nstant scrinl-

season has clearly shown. 1t is hoped
that near perfection in this respect
may be attained before Saturday as

mode of play will be one of the lead
ing factors upon which the ultimate
result of the approaching game will
largely depend.

Maine BY NO MEANS DOWN
and OUT IN CROSS COUNTRY RACE

Orono, Me-, Nov. 4.-Despite the eff
forts which are being made in GER
tain quarters here to convey the i'm
preston that Names chances for
winning the cross-country run at
Brunswick next Friday are far from
encouraging, those who are on the in
side concerning the team, which will
leave Thursday morning, declare that
Maine has high hopes of victory. 1t is
known, however, that the Colby team
is made up of some speedy runners
and Dutch Allen of Bowdoin is also
recognized as an antagonist to be
feared.
The Maine team included three vet
Grams, Bell, Preti and Dempsey. Bell
and Preti were the winners of the
cross-country run last year and it is
figured out that they may be con-
fidently relied on for remarkable speed
Friday. That Dempsey may fully equal
the performance of Bell and Preti, is
shown by the fact that he defeated
them for second place in a five-mile
cross-country handicap, run over a

NAVY
ACTIVE OFF The
ALAND ISLANDS
IN THE BALTIC

Copenhagen, Nov. 4.-via London,
1923 A. MA fleet of German war
ships has gathered off the Aland Is
lands, in the Baltic Sea, northeast of
Stockholm and opposite the entrance
to the Gulf of Finland. They evident
ly were proceeding north, and have
stopped to await orders.
The reported presence of German
battleships off the Aland Islands tends
to confirm a report received last night
in London from Dunkirk that four
German battleships and four cruisers
had put to sea from Kiel, the terminus
of the Kiel canal on the Baltic side.
When these vtssels were supposed to
have left Kiel was not stated.
Dover reported last night that the
German feet was supposed to have
come out from its base. This statement
probably referred to the German feet
in the North Sea.

FACE FULL OF POWDER
RESULT OF CARELESS
HANDLING REVOLVER

Dexter. Me-, Nov. 4.-One Dexter
boy has a face filled with powder as
the result of the careless handling OF
revolver by another youngster at
the former boys home Monday eve-
ming. The two boys were in a room
when the visitor took revolver from
a bureau drawer and after perform
ing a few fancy stunts in handling the
weapon, pulled the trigger while the
muzzle of the weapon was pointed in
the direction Of the other boy. The re-
suit was the discharge Of the weapon
with the bullet whizzing close to the
other youngsters head and passing
through two doors. The conclusion
was SO great in the closed room that
the light was put out and both boys
fell to the floor. Fortunately no DAM
age was done other than filing the
boys face with black powder, which
he will probably carry for some time.

DIVORCE DEGREES
IN PORTLAND

Portland, Me-, Nov. 4.--Judge Connolly
vorce cases this afternoon. Petition of
Edith Holland, who married George c..
Holland in Steep Falls May IA. 1910, was
denied. She testified that he had been
guilty of cruel and abusive treatment,
intoxication and non-support. 1t was
brought out in her testimony that the
minor child had been in the custody Of
the fathers parents since 1t was four
weeks old and that the mother had not
seen 1t in the past year. When this was
brought out, Judge Connolly dismissed
the libel.
Mrs. Josephine Wade Gaylord accused
A. Leon Gaylord of cruelty and asked
for alimony and custody Of the minor
child. Her testimony was to the effect
that her husband had failed to provide
for her 10 days at time when she was
Ill. They were married in this city July
10, 1906 and lived for a time in Belfast.
Her home now is in Foxboro. Mass. Her
testimony was substantiated by Miss
Brier Of Belfast. Hinckiey and Hinckley
of this city, associated with Brandiis,
Dunbar and Nutter of Boston, in this
case, conducted the court proceedings.
Divorce was decreed, custody Of minor
child given and alimony granted.

BANGOR WANTS
BASEBALL-BAD!

Fred K Owen writes in the Portland
Press:
at heard directly from Bangor news
paper man the other day that in his
opinion Bangor would not be ready for
New England baseball this year, al
though he thought that it might year
later"
Whoever the newspaper man may be-
and it was nobody on the News-he may
be credited with an absurd statement.
If ever there was a city just about crazy
for some real baseball, and ready to sup
port 1t to the very limit, that city is
Bangor, Maine We probably won't get
it, to be sure, because the magnates of
the New England League have sub
lime faculty for picking lemons. Appar-
emily they would rather have the league
starve in Haverhill or Pittsfield than
grow fat and prosper in Bangor and ST.
John.
Mr.. Owen then comments upon the fact
that ST. John may be admitted, continu-
ing very sensibly:
1T seems to me that IL st. John Is
taken in, Bangor surely ought to be, for
that would cut the distance in two. But

Brunswick is pretty nearly big league
travelling. If Bangor is not available
as my informant from that city has stat
ed, the most available city 1t seems to
me is Woonsocket, which with its Sun
day baseball and nearness to Worcester
ought to be a pretty good proposition"
Mr.. Owen, his informant" to the con-
trary, may set his mind at rest about
Bangor, being available. 1t could and
would support team in splendid style

Bowman, who fatally stabbed Hugh
Clark in a fight near a dancing pavil-

retracting his plea of not guilty to the
murder charge on which he was in

The quarrel which resulted in
Clark's death was witnessed by many
people in attendance at the dance. The
stabbing was done with a large pock
ct jack-knife. which was found some
80 or 40 feet away from where Clark
fell dead The blade was open and
covered with blood stains.
Bowman denied having any part in
the stabbing declaring he did not have

IF FRASER AND CAWLEY ARE OUT

Orono, Me-, Nov. 4.--As far as in
juries are concerned, no doubt both
of the Colby and Maine outfits realize
that they played football Saturday at
Waterville. While it is not a sure
fact, it has been reported here and

shoulder and will be unable to get

with a broken rib. Whether these re-

new course with some steep grades,
during the latter part of October. Bell
and Preti were tied for third.
Libby, Sophomore, who is one OF
the new members of the team, seems
likely to be something of a surprise
to the other competitors at Brunswick.
He surprised many here by winning
the five-mile cross country race above
referred to. He had good lead and
succeeded in maintaining his handicap
over the long hills with which the
course was plentifully covered. He al
so won the inter-class race with a
good lead, showing remarkable form.
Wonderlich, the Arlington High
school runner, has been suffering from
an abscess on his leg. He will start
in the race according to present plans.
and is regarded as speedy lad with
excellent staying qualities. With Bell
and Preti, the two winners last year.
and Libby and Dempsey, who have
beaten the two veterans, it is fairly
evident that Names chances Friday
are far from being as dubious as GER
tain of those interested in U. Of M.
athletics would have understood.
