BoWDo|N ALUMNI
HOLD BANQUET AND
OUTING At TACOMA
The Kennebec and Androscog-
gin Associations Have Jolly
Time Saturday Afternoon
Baseball Game Feature of the
Occasion

The Androscoggin and Kennebec
Bowdoin Associations held their Sec
ond annual banquet and outing Sat-
urday afternoon at Tacoma Inn with
an attendance Of about as and the oc-
casion was one that will be remem-
bered with pleasure for some time to
come. The members Of the Kennebec
Association, numbering Is, left in
seven automobiles at about 100 and
upon their arrival at the Inn they were
met by the Androscoggin party.
The feature Of the afternoon was a
baseball game played between teams
representing the two associations and
which resulted in tie to 5, the game
being called at 4.30 on account of
darkness. The Kennebec nine started
in finely, making the five runs in the
first inning, but the decisions that
were rendered after that inning by the
umpire, Royal H. Bodwell, were said to
have been a decided drawback to the
team. Mr.. Bodwell was armed with
a sword and a popgun and announced
his decisions in a very fOrceful man
ner. The batteries were Martin and
Kinsman for the Kennebec team and
Clifford and Weber for Androscoggin.
Members of the party also held a
contest in ringing the peg, game
which is popular with all who visit
the Inn. Melvin S. Holway held the
record, putting the ring upon the peg
10 times in succession.
The banquet was served promptly at
$50 and needless to say, the various
courses of a shore dinner were enjoy
ed by all. A. M. G. Soule entertained
the party by rendering several verses
of the song, Tim Toolen." The men,
bers sang the college songs and 9TH
err songs, being led by Sewall Webster.
The suggestion was made by Arthur
G. Staples of Lewiston that the Ken
nebec Association instead of holding
separate banquet next winter, join
the Androscoggin Association in a
banquet at the Augusta House.
The members of the Kennebec as
ISOLATION present were: F. j. c. Lit
tie. Lewis A. Burleigh. Frank l.. Dut-
ton, Burleigh Martin, Ralph w. Smith,
. George H. Macomber, Royal H. Bod

and Emery o. Beane of Hallowell.
The committee in charge Of the af-
fair was made up of F. ]. C. Little.

Notes

Winthrop plays Lewiston for the
first time on Tuesday afternoon. The
game will be no walkover. for Lewis
ton has secured some new players
who promise to place the team in the
running. On Wednesday the fans will
have a chance to see the famous
Skowhegan terrors cross bats with the
locals. AS Skowhegan has already de-
feated the Winthrop team once this
season and has scalped the Hallowell,
Augusta and Gardiner teams twice
each, this game is looked forward TO
with interest by Winthrop enthusiasts,
who hope that the home team may be
the first in the league to send Show
hogan down to defeat.
