WATERVILLE HIGH
SATURDAY GAME

Manager Hilton of the Waterville
High school baseball team is endeavor-
ing to obtain game for the team for
next Saturday. This date had to be
left open on account of the games in
the kennebec Valley League. as had
the Waterville boys won the cham
pionship in their class they would have
played for the league championship on
this Saturday, but the team did not
strike its stride until too late in the
season to win out and SO finds itself
with q couple of open dates. which it
is endeavoring to fill. The date for
Saturday has been offered to the Hall
DWELL team and it Is hoped that they
will be able to play although it is not
known as yet whether they will or not.
The Waterville boys are playing good
baseball now and they would like very
much to be able to play every Satur-
day. The early closing of school has
thrown the schedule out of gear as
games had been arranged with Ban
gor on June 9 and Lawrence High
school on June and 18th. Whether
they will he played or not cannot be
told at present but it is hoped to at
least play the Lawrence games earlier
in the season.
