CONY SHOWS UNEXPECTED STRENGTH
DEFEATS ABBOTT SCHOOL $40

One of the big victories Of Cony football
Williams field when the terminated wearers
of the red and white met and crushed the
sturdy lads of Abbott School in a 81 to 0
victory. The result came as well earned re-
ward OF two weeks of the hardest kind of
preparation under the direction Of Coach
Thompson. The team had the material at
the start OF the season but the dash and
team play that was exhibited in the battle
with the boys from Pennington was
nothing less than startling to those who had
watched the Cony boys in the two preced-
ing games,
George Martins sensational end running
furnished several OF the spectacular thrills
OF the afternoon. but his mates In the back
field bore almost equal shares OF the work.
Capt. Redmond was at his best and Taber
almost always delivered the goods when
given an opportunity. To Ted Martin goes
much Of the credit for the almost unprece-
dented fighting spirit shown by the team
and, as he played Saturday. compares favor
ably with the best OF Cony's field generals Of
recent years. George Dunnack was a very
proposition at end. and It was
his nlmble recovery Of a tumble by Abbott
that brought the first sccore. Pierce kept
his end of the line proof against successful
attack and, in fact, both end and tackles, in
dividually and collectively. worked with uni
veTsal precision and aggressiveness. Doug
lass Newman. Cony's big left tackle, played
his position in great form. Nowhere was
any weakness revealed IN the defensive line.
First Quarter
The game started when Ted Martin booted
one one of his long-soaring kickofs. New
man nailed the runner before any substan-
tial gain had been made. The Pennington
boys then launched a series of line attacks
which were effectively smothered, and punt
ed to Ted Martin. who was downed on
Cony's 35-yard line. Capt. Redmond dent
ed the Opposing line for a small advance,
George Martin followed with a substantial
gain on a line play. and then the Red and
Whites leader smashed through for an ad-
vance that gave Cony first down. George
Martin tried Abbott's right end but furbled
and the visitors recovered the ball. Abb
bolt made a slight gain around Cony's left
end but on trying to tkirt the other wing
the runner was thrown for a loss by George
Abbott punted and the bali was re-
ceived by Ted Martin. With the Farming

ton players we'll under the kick. which was
a short one, the Cony quarterback lodged bis
way through the would-be tacklers for a
gain of rs yards.
Two attempts against Abbott's line
effected little gain and although on
the following play Taber tore through
right tackle for several yards, Cony
had failed to make the distance and
the ball wen to Abbott. On a trick
pass play, Deering fumbled and
George Dunnack grabbed the pigskin
and romped 40 yards for the first
touchdown. Thanks were due the Alb
bolt boys for the additional tally re-
sulting from the goal from touchdown.
Georg Martins kick went low and the
ball would have gone beneath the
crosshar but for the fact that one of
the OPPOSING players made an unneces-
ssry attempt to block the kick. The
result was hat the player sent the
ball higher into the air and over the
bar. 1t was as freaky a score as was
ever made on Williams field.
Cony kicked to Abbott and Red
mond made the tackle. The visitors
succeeded in making four yards
around Cony's left but were ca silly
feld ard were forced to kick. Ted
Martin received the ball and Red
nond tried the line without results.
Here the quarter ended. with the ball
on Abbott's 4o-yard line. Score, 10.
Second Quarter
Taber started the second period with
a 10-yard gain through tackle. On the
next play George Martin cleared Alb
hott's right end for a 20-yard run. Ia
her made a small gain through the
line and George Martin followed with
a f%ve-yard plunge. Ted Martin squeez-
ed through for short gain and Taber
contributed a two-yard gain. George
Martin took the oval to the two-yard
line. On the next play he carried the
pigskin over the line, but fumbled,
and Eose, recovering the ball, ran
back to Abbott's 20-yard line. The
visitors tried an end run but Dunnack
stopped the runner eight yards behind
the line Of scrimmage. On the follow
ing play Newman nailed the runner
for a loss. Abbott punted and Red
mond caught the ball. With the play
on the 25-yard line. George Martin cot

mage Taber made a substantial gain
through tackle and George Martin fol-
lowed the play with a gain that
brought first down. Taber's next at
tempt was fruitless but Martin ad-
vanced the BALL three yards. A for
ward pass attempt failed to bring re-
suits. On a fake forward pass play
Martin got around Abbott's right end
for a good gain. Cony lost the ball on

The second half was eventful right
at the start. Abbott fumbled the kick

but was blocked while still far be-

big loss but suddenly George retraced

Abbott's 42-yard line. A forward PASS

and Mrs. William
Pinkham Take Their
Three Children from a
Sidney Home Where
They Had Beer Placed
by Authorities, but
Children Are Taken
from Them Again
Hearing Today

II will be remembered that by an
order of the Augusta municipal court,
after due hearing in the matter Au-
gust 81 of the current year, three chill
dren of William and Martha Pinkham.
the children being a boy and two
girls, aged 8, 4 and 2 years. were talk
en- from their parents, who were at
that time living in a shack in Togus,
and placed in the care of Mrs. Ada F.
Hunt, State agent for the prevention
of cruelty to children, who found a
home for them with a Mrs. Cunning Of
Sidney. A fourth child. an infant Of
eight months. was left with the moth
er. The Pinkhams. it might be said
in connection with the case, are paup-
ers on the city of Bath. Mrs. Gum
ming is the same lady in whose care
the Russell baby was placed soma time
ago. after having been taken from its
mother, the infant at that time being
in an apparently half starved condi-
ton, but which with the Pinkham
children has, since being placed with
Mrs. Cunning, been receiving good
care.
Everything regarding the children,
so far as is known, went well until
Saturday noon. when Judge Lancaster
of the municipal court received a tele-
phone message from Mrs. Cunning
which stated in effect that the Pink
hams had been to her home in Sid
ney and had taken their three chill
dren away with them in a team: that
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1917-10-22

she had tried to prevent them from
taking the children, but that they had
overpowered her and sc succeeded | n
their endeavor. Mrs. Cunning further
said that the team used by the Pink
hams was a single seat open wagon
drawn by a black horse Inc she ask
ed that a lookout be kept for It. which
was done, but without results.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. Hunt and
Mrs. Cunning called at Judge Lam
casters ONCE and another chapter in
the case was opened when the judge
learned that the team in question had
been hired at the Bailey stable or
Winthrop court, presumably by the
Pinkhams, and had been returned to
the stable at about 2 o'clock that aft
ernoon- It was further learned by the
some time past living at Randolph,
where It is said hat he pretended to
be working in a box factory.
Having learned this, which furnished
something tangible to go by. Judge
Lancaster 'phoned Deputy Sheriff Rob-
inson at Gardiner and asked him If he
would go over to Randolph at once
and look into the Pinkham matter, to
winch Indt OHCer readily dSSeLleu. Ou
the first trip. however, the officer was
not successful, and. found nc n at
home. At the request of Judge Ian
caster Sheriff Robinson made another
trip to Randolph. which was unsuc-
cessful at first, but later he 'phoned
the judge, saying that he had rounded
up the Pinkhams, children and all, and
had them at the Gardiner police sta
ton. Sheriff Robinson also asked that
Mrs. Hunt go to Gardiner on the next
car, which she did. Later in the eve
ming Mrs. Hunt 'phoned the judge that
she had recovered the children. al
though she had some trouble with the
Pinkhams In order to do so, and that
they had been taken back to Sidney.
At the request of Sheriff Robinson,
that the Pinkhams be allowed to go
to the place where they are living in
Randolph. until this morning. Judge
Lancaster gave the desired permission,
the same being condition upon the
promise Of the deputy sheriff to have
the pair in court at Augusta at 8
o'clock this morning for a hearing.
