COLBY BALL TEAM
TO TAKE TRIP TO
MASSACHUSETTS

The last practice Of the Colby base
ball team was held Tuesday afternoon
before the team starts on it's Massa-
chusetts trip. Captain Simpson was
not in uniform and his place in left
field was filled by Gibson, Freshman,
who has been playing at first on the
second team. Roger Nye, the Fairfield
boy, was again on second on the Var
sity and handled himself we'll. The
battery for the first team was Harri-
man and Knox and for the second team
Mathews started The contest, giving
way to Hendricks after a time Ash
worth did the catching. Blackington
was on first. The Varsity hit the ball
fairly we'll but did not have much to
show what they could do in the field
ing line as the second team seemed
unable to hit Hartman effectively.
Nye got couple Of chances which he
handled in good style. The work OF
Knox behind the bat was an improve
ment over what he has shown at other
times. particularly his throwing. The
combination as it played Tuesday with
perhaps one change in the outfield will
undoubtedly be the one that will go
against the Massachusetts teams. Ash
worth and Knox will undoubtedly get
a chance to show in the catching line.
and Mathews, Hendricks, Gately and
possibly Hartman will appear in the
firing line. Captain Simpson, although
he has not been in suit this year will
accompany the team, and is expected

TRAFFIC CLAW TO
BE ENFORCED

Instructions have been issued to the
police department to enforce the traf-
&c ordnance which was planned last
year During the winter it was allowed
to lapse somewhat although the lining
up Of teams and automobiles was con-
siderably better than it had been for
merly. Lately with the congestion of
teams and machines on the street
there has been some trouble and it was
thought to be time that the ordinance
was enforced strictly. The greatest
trouble comes from the teams, the
auto drivers as a rule are obeying the
law but the majority Of the drivers of
teams seem to think that they are
privileged characters and have a right
to do as they wish. The chief things
for a driver to remember in the law
are first to keep on tie right hand side
OF the street; to signal with the hand
and arm when about to stop or when
making a turn; to always stop with
the right side Of the team or machine
to the curb; to pass another team or
automobile on the left hand side: that
when signaled a team or automobile
must give an overtaking team or au-
tomobile one-haR OF the road as in
meeting: 1t is also unlawful to come
within 10 feet Of an electric car which
has stopped for the purpose Of loading
or unloading passengers; auto lights
must be dimmed on Main street and
on meeting another auto or team any
where in the city limits; cutouts are
not permitted: warnings will be issued
by the police once and arrests will fol-
low If man persists in disobeying the
law

by-word Tuesday evening. when all
the dancing element Of the Four Hun
dred, made their way to the new Elks'
hall in automobiles, carriages or hacks.
here the class of 1917 Of Colby College
were the entertaining hosts Of the col
lege and the city.
The ushers were taken from the
members Of the Sophomore class and
were as follows: Richard L. Sprague

James B. Conlon Of Fitchburg. In the
receiving line were the president of
the Mems division of the class, Car

the president of the Women's division,
Miss Mildred Greene Of Loudon, N.
H.; His Honor the Mayor, Frederic E.
Boothby and Mrs. Boothby, and DR..
and Mrs. Homer P. Little. The recep-
ton lasted q little over an hour. and
throughout the affair the orchestra
hidden in the balcony rendered the
latest melodies in the musical world.
The decorations for the yearly af-
fair were very simple and this pre-
vailing air of simplicity. which SEEM
ed to be the keynote Of the arrange
ments. met with instant approval, and
the formality Of the fete was lessened
to some extent, so as to meet justly
with the requirements of college men.

as is rarely offered. The pleasure OF
the occasion was rendered far more

fair has never been patronized by peo-
pie coming from not only out Of Wa
