National Guard Notes

Information received by his friends in
Portland Wednesday announced that
Lieut.. Spaulding Bisbee of Co. B, n. G.
S. NJ of Rumford, now in service on
the Mexican border, has been detailed
by Col. Slocum in charge of the brigade
with which the I'd Maine is serving as
his personal aid. Lieut.. Bisbee has
been a member of the Guard about two
years.
Friends of I'd Lieut.. H. J. Carpenter,
who went to the Mexican border with
Co. J., will be interested to know that
he has been appointed I'd lieutenant in
the 9th Regiment L. S. A Some time
ago owing to the scarcity of officers
in the regular army 1t was announced
that second lieutenants would be Sc
lected by competitive examination and
Mr.. Carpenter was the only officer in
the I'd Maine who successfully passed
the examination.
The Bangor Machine-gun company is
the best marching and equipped ma
chine gun company, not only in the Ma
tional guard, but in the regular army.
So Col, Slocum said after the recent
review of border troops at Fort McIn-
tosh. After the review Col Slocum
sent an orderly to Col. Hume, convey
ing his compliments and with the In
formation that the Bangor company
was the best he had seen and he had
reviewed practically all of the gun COM
panies, both regulars and guardsmen
This surely is compliment which
should bring feeling of pride and sat
isfaction to Bangor, and much satisfac-
ton to the boys themselves and the Of
ticers who have worked hard to bring
the command TO its high state Of eff.
cheney.

Look for the cause Of backache.
To be cured you must know the cause.
If it's weak kidneys you must set the
kidneys working right.
An Augusta resident tells you how.
Mrs. Walter Hall, 153 Northern Ave,
Augusta, says: For years one Of my
family had trouble from weak kidneys.
There was much pain across the back
and any work that required STOPPING or
lifting made the trouble worse. The kid
neys were weak. Doan's Kidney Pills
brought relief. A number of my neigh
bors have also used Doans Kidney Pills
and all speak highly of them
OVER THREE YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Hall said 'Doans Kidney Pills, pro-
cured from Willis r. Partridge's Drug
Store, have done a lot for me and my

a grand pitching average around 500
for the entire period
At the end OF the 1915 season Math-
ewson's record showed that over
stretch Of 10 years under the big can
vas. he had worked in 614 games-2O5
less than Young figured in. To equal
NOuugs record IN games pitched,
Mathewson must remain in the majors
at least six years longer-a seeming
impossibility.
Matty's Average Is .665.
Mathewson has won 36S and lost 1S5
OF his games. The others did not fig
llre in his won or lost columns. Matty's
grand average TO date is .665. Even
should he by some miracle remain in
the major league spotlight until he
has pitched more games than Young. IL
is beyond the range of probability that
ne can win 60 per cent of the remaining
games. And that IS just about what
the weakening arm must accomplish TO
beat out the record Of Young.

A baseball league is operating in
Massachusetts, that is not under the
domination of organized baseball It's
an organization operated within the
precincts Of Charleston prison. in Bos-
ton. and the players are convicts.
The two class teams OF the circuit
are known as the Red Sox and Braves.
They are the crack mines and those
who have seen the rival machines in
operation say they work with faultless
precision The players on these clubs
average 25 years in age.
The field is the prison yard. It is
rather small for baseball, but il serves
its purpose in a way that is satisfac-
tory to the spectators and combatants
The prisoners in their leisure" re-
move pebbles and roll the diamond,
keeping it in good shape.
The regular season opens in April
and closes in October la big league.
The major teams play on an average
of once a week. The battling in 1915
ended in a draw. Each team had Won
y games when the season closed. An
extra game was played to decide the
championship. but il ended in a tie.
