Portland, Me-, Oct. 1s.-(SpeciaD.-
BY an exhibition of gilt-edge football
under most adverse conditions, Colby
defeated the fast team from the Mas
sachusetts Agricultural College at
-Bayside park, yesterday afternoon by
q score of 6 to 0. The gridiron was
ankle-deep in mud and water, but IN
spite of bad starts and excusabie FUN
bles the game abounded in fast and
brilliant plays and kept the handful
of rooters on edge from start to finish.
Colby had a slight edge on the Mas
sachusetts boys, but no greater ad-
vantage than the score indicates, for
the open play and line shifts of the
wearers of the garnet jerseys nearly
offset the vicious line plunging or the
Maine collegians and furnished the
spectators with an excellent demon
stration of all varieties of play.
At the start it looked as though the
game was 20 be pretty much Colby,
but the defense of the Aggies stlffened
and what looked to be a decidedly one
sided contest developed into a last,
clean exhibition of football.
/ The most remarkable defense OF the
tenttre game was shown at the open
ing of the second period, when the Ag-
Igies held Colbys battering ram OIL
kense for downs on their own half YARD

GARDINER and LEWISTON IN A
SCORELESS CAME At GARDINER

Gardiner, Me-, Oct. 1s.-(SpeciaD.-
Gardiner High and Lewiston High re-
newed athletic relations Saturday,
when on soggy field they fought
scoreless tie to finish. 1t is probable
that had the field been dry Gardiner
would have secured at least one touch
down as their backfield was much
more effective in carrying the ball
than the Lewiston quartet and twice
succeeded in reaching the 5-yard line.
In forward passes Gardiner was sue
cessful twice, the total distance ag-
gregating As yards, while the visitors
failed in their only attempt at this
play. The Gardiner team lacked the
punch throughout the game, having
the ball within the 15-yard line in the
last period beside planting it twice on
the fve-yard line.
The visitors put up a stubborn de-
fensive and always stiffened percept-
ably in a precarious situation. Gardi-
ner as whole played below thelr
usual standard, this being due in
measure to the broken condition of the
team, Davis. ]. Kelley and Jim Ston-
Ter being out on account of scholastic
troubles.
Capt Ed Walsh was the star for
the visitors while Young at the enc
put up fine defensive game. j. Hiek
ey for Gardiner was strong in defen-
sive work and several times could be
seen smashing up plunges in front and
around him. A. Brisk was the star of
the attack, pulling off several long
end runs.
The game started off with Lewiston
| receiving the kickoff. The visitors
could make but little Roadway and
punted. Gardiner was also held and
several times during the period the
| ball exchanged hands, with both sides
| resorting to line plunging and occa-
sional end runs. The period ended with
| the ball in Gardeners possession on
| the 42-yard line.
The second period opened with Car
diner punting on the fourth down.
Daley received the kick on the 10
yard line and was nailed in his tracks
by Brisk and ]. Hickey, who threw
| him so hard that time was called to
revive him. On the first play Lewis
ton fumbled but Daley recovered with
a 10-yard loss. After an attempted
| forward pass had failed, Walsh was
forced to punt. The kick went low and
| rolled outside, Gardiner receiving on
the 15-yard line. Brisk gained 10
| through right tackle. In the next three
| rushes the visitors line held and Gar
diner was forced to surrender the bali
without gaining an inch. Lewiston

ed. With the ball on the 25-yard line
1 a nice forward pass to p. Brisk plant
| ed the ball on the 5-yard line. After
failing to gain on the next play time
was called.
In the third period Gardiner slight
ly outrushed their opponents and by
steady onslaughts at the visitors line
brought the ball from mid -field t.
Lewiston's 27-yard line before time
was called.
In the last period things LOGGED good

BOWLING notes

a State Bowling League The latest
enterprise with which Augusta bowling
fans have been brought face to face is
the proposition of NJ. j. McDonough
of lewiston, vice president of the
Lewiston New England baseball club
and well-known sporting man. Lewis
ton, Portland. Gardiner, Augusta and
Waterville, possibly Hailowell and
Winthrop are the tentative selection of
cities in this league. A meeting will
be held, probably next week in either
Gardiner or Augusta, when the pertec-
ton OF such a league will be accom-
plished. Enthusiasm is manifest in all
of the cities mentioned and Augusta
should turn out a fine team of rollers.
The project is a worthy one and is
likely to meet with favor in all of
Maine. The organization started on
its road. the going should and prob
ably will be easy, for bowling is pop
ular in Maine as a winter sport.

players are wonders their skill with
the lignum vitae is superhuman. Ten

| from which to select a team. All good
ones and come under the category OF
| stars. Men are found daily who knock
| down the candle pins and record scores
| in the hundreds-one Patterson espec-
! tally.
Portland is bowling crazy in the
winter and Lewiston can be reckoned
with in the long run.
A good bowler minds the rules. 1t is
easy to slide halfway down the alley
and pick the pins, but to observe the
foul line as barrier adds to the
game and many so-called bowlers
would need to look to their laurels II
they were to observe this rule. Lax
ness on the part of the alley keepers
spoils bowlers for games in other
cities where the rules are strict.

Gen. John G. Pemberton. who de-
Tended Vicksburg when that city was
besieged by the Federal army under
General Grant. was born In Philadel-
phia 100 years ago. He was gradu-
ate of West Point and saw service In
the Mexican war. At the beginning Of
the Civil war he cast his fortunes with
the South. After service Of year or
more In the East he was assigned to
the command of the department OF
the Mississippi by President Jefferson
Davis. with whom he was great IA
vorite. For nine months General Penn
berton defended Vicksburg against the
Northern armies. The siege lasted till
July 4. 1868. when. owing to scarcity
Of ammunition and provisions, Gen
eral Pemberton surrendered his entire
army. After the war he retired to
Warrington. Va, and In 1876 moved
to Perth Amboy. N. j.. and subse-
auently to Philadelphia. where he died
