without number, was allowed to give
way. His long and varied experience
at the bar made him an invaluable
acquisition, whose judgment was the
'yes-no consciousness of the entlre
board his word was law. His de-
cisions were never ambiguous. His
noiseless poise brought him great re-
spect His excellent spirit was his
best remedy for all differences. His
greatest weakness was that all men
speak well of him. When the duties
of the office became so numerous ana
exacting that he felt he could not,
with his increasing years, do justice
to all matters involved. he insisted
on the acceptance of his resignation,
but without acceding to his request
so highly was he esteemed, he was
unanimously elected president En-

thing over East struck snag
Wednesday when it FLASHED with the
Penobscot Chemical Fiber team, the
semi-pro aggregation backed mostly
by the employees of the paper mill at
great works. Sanford was beaten ,
to 0, mostly through failure to hit
Billy Buckland who allowed only
three hits. Pinkerton and Best were
the only ones to find him. Caravan
for Sanford pitched we'll enough to
win most any game but Cote poled
out a homer and an error by Rowe let
in the second run. Both teams showed
classy fielding and it was easily the
fastest exhibition of the season here
The snappy playing Of the Augusta
team was well illustrated in Wednes-
days double, Morrell to Abbott to
Wilson. Morrell famed White and
Artie snapped the ball to Wilson and
Masterman was caught off the bag.
Again in the third with Duncan on
first, Neville cracked long single to
right and Beaudoin, by pretty peg
to third, forced Duncan ito hold the
center bag. Mcguire went way over
in short right and took fly off Mas
terman and when Houghton lofted to
Graves in the third, Freddy was right
on the spot in the event Sid was not
ready to squeeze it. We're expecting
to see him go over into left any day

Gently returned fromthe trip. describes
Carpenter as "one game little fighter"
and is firmly of the opinion that il it
had not been for Carpenter breaking
his hand in the second round the fight
would have been his
F'or the first two rounds up to the
time he sustained this injury, Carpen-
tier was havingthe better of the fight
according to Mr.. Lamont. To prove
this, he says that at the time Car
pentier broke his hand he had Demp-
sey up against the ropes and was Civ
ing it to him. when suddenly Car
pentier stepped back. This seemed
strange to the crowd when Carpenter
had Dempsey at such a disadvantage

that Carpenter had injured his hand
There was little fighting from that
time 70 the end of the second round.
In the third round, after Carpenter
