TAKES EXCEPTION TO
P OF
SCHOOL GAME

desire to submit the following COR
rections to several statements which
were printed in Tuesday mornings
issue of~the Journal in the account
OF the baseball game at Hallowell
Grammar and Pleasant street school
of Waterville.
The statement whereby the man.
agement of the Pleasant street school
team allows boys who are not in reg
ular attendance to represent the
school on the ball team is absolutely
untrue.
The two boys in question, Paul
Hamilton and Lionel Saucier. are
boys only ii years old and are both
in regular attendance in our building
and furthermore neither of these
boys have ever played on a High
school team.
Mr.. Bigelow. principal of the Hal
lowell school. acknowledged Saturday
that he had a player on his team who
was not in school, and that this was
contrary to h agreement made with
me when the arrangements for the
two games were made. After this
acknowledgment by MI. Bigelow, I
felt that We were justified in refusing
to finish the game under those con-
ditions but did agree to play the game
as arranged with a strictly school
team, which he refused to do.
The Pleasant street Grammar Of
Waterville and the Maria Clark
Grammar Of Hallowell. are schools of
exactly the same grading. the term
Junior High" being a name applied
to the Waterville school simply be-
cause it occupies the old High school
building.
The Pleasant street school team
will be willing to play the Maria
Clark Grammar team at any conven-
lent date as per agreement made be-
tween Mr.. Bigelow' and myself.
Respectfully.
