This years annual Maine intercol-
legiate meet is over and now the fol-
lowers of track ana field sports in
Maine will turn their minds to doping
what the Maine collegians may hope
to do at the New England games in
the Harvard stadium next Saturday.
Many assert that Maine is a sure sec
ond place outfit-and indeed IT does
look reasonable. Last year Maine
scored IL points for fourth place. Col
by scored five points, Bates four and
half points, and Bowdoin scored a
single point.
1t is certain that the Maine bunch
will make matters interesting in q
number of events with her evenly
balanced OUTFIT which failed to score
in only two of the Ia events contested
Saturday. Track games are peculiar
things and the dope bucket is kicked
over about as often as II holds its
fluid but it is a little too much to de-
lineate in advance a summary which
would give the Maine State UNIVERSE
ty O victory over the Big Green team
weaker a bit as it is in comparison
with last years bunch.
Charlie Rice will make the going
as fast as Olson of Dartmouth or any
Of the other competing sprinters wish
1t made and 1t isn't too much to ex-
pect him to take the furlong dash,
anyway. and possibly win the century
flash. Captain Nevers of Bates is no
SLOUGH and 1t must be borne in mind
that he. In the morning trials at Lew
iston Saturday, trimmed Eddie Bates
record by running his heat in e sec
onds fiat. That was practically lost
sight Of when Rice scooted across the
finish line in the next heat IN the
same event. a fifth of q second faster.
Small OF Bates, too, is no mean per-
former and, with no misfortune will
make a creditable showing.
In the 440-yard dash Ivan Waldron
OF Colby should place, though first
place is probably bit beyond him.
Bell Of Maine should place in the
half mile and Golden of Colby and
Reynolds of Colby will, also, be we'll
up with the leaders.
In tho mile Captain Towner of
Maine should be in condition to place
and he will let Mr.. Marceau of Dart
mouth know that there Is race afoot.

as result of its defective construc-
ton and out OF repair condition, both
of which were well known to the
company, he was so severely scalded
about the legs. face. arms and body
that ii was necessary to send him
to hospital at Sherbrook, Quebec,
where he was confined for q period Of
10 weeks.
He claims that the blow-off pipe
was broken and that the machine was
not properly constructed: that both
these facts were we'll known to the
defendant

accident. for the defendant company
for four winters. but had been with
them only Is weeks Of that winter.

him $40 month and board at the
time Of accident. but now he could
earn but $4e and must board him
self.

wage Of $3.50 per day, but since then
his earning capacity had been cut
down a dollar a day.

Whitney Not So Optimistic
Over Defeating English

New York, May 20.-Harry Payne
Whitney, captain of the 1913 American
polo team and chief of the coaches of
this years defenders. does not share
the optimism SO generally heard over
the prospects of again defeating the
English challengers. If America wins
in the coming matches, Mr.. Whitney
says. it will be only after one of the
closest contests ever played.
This talk of the American players
being two to one favorites," Mr.. Whit
ney said, is ridiculous. From a handi-
cap basis, the English players rate
higher than the members OF the team
we are now trying out"
The addition of Captain Cheape to
the English team, he said, greatly
strengthened the ehallengers.
