c.. c.. I. TO PLAY
DEAN ACADEMY
ON SATURDAY

Dean Academy. the famous Massachu-
sets school, will be seen at Alumni field
Saturday when it's baseball team will play
with Coburn for the championship of the
two states. There is little doubt but what
Coburn has the fastest fitting school
team in Maine this year, and Dean has
the reputation of being a little superior
to anything in Massachusetts,, SO it will
be a fine chance to compare the school
baseball in the two states. The Coburn
boys are working hard for the contest
this week as 1t will come at their COM
mencement time, when it is probable tina.
a large number of the graduates of the
school will be back to the exercises and
the boys will want to show them a vic.
tory.

COLBY AND BATES
POSTPONED GAME
THIS AFTERNOON

The postponed game between Colby
and Bates will be played on Alumni
field at 2.45 Wednesday afternoon. The
Colby team was sent through a long
practice Tuesday afternoon IN antic-
ipation Of the game and II was re-
ported that it showed up very we'll.
The team has been playing better and
better baseball all the season and
judging by the showing made against
Bates last Saturday at Gardiner
should be returned the winner. The
Lewiston, there being lot of hit
ting and fast baseball in it and the
game of Wednesday should he thor
oughly interesting one. Captain Simp-
son of the Colby team will not be in
the game as he has been ordered by
his doctor to give up baseball for tie
remainder Of this year. His place in
left field will probably be filled by
Ashworth and Knox will he seen be-
hind the bat. This will rnake strong
combination there as Knox Is catching
a fine game and hitting we'll and Ash
worth is a good outflelder, although
not up to the speedy little captain.
Cawley will doubtless do the pitching
for Colby and Hayes will be in his
place at shortstop The remainder of
the team will be the same as has been
the rule during the season, Smith be-
ing at first, Nye at second, Driscoll at
third, Schuster in center and Deasey
in right. The game will be called at
2.45 and will doubtless caY out large
crowd If the day is anywhere ne;lr de-

some fine programs have been given by
the young folks. These affairs are con-
sidered as a part Of the school work and
except for some of the immediate fami-

would do credit to children much older
than those taking part and show the
splendid work being done by the teachers
