CONY VS.. WINTHROP
TODAY ON WILLIAMS FIELD

A good game of baseball is antici-
pated this afternoon at $50 when
Cony High will cross bats on the
Williams diamond with the poppy"
aggregation representing the High
school at Winthrop.
On paper, one might judge that
Winthrop would be an easy mark for
the local boys. But after considering
conditions at the inter-lake town and
with the information that "Squanto"
Wilson has been giving his bunch of
braves some minute directions and
coaching, opinions are somewhat apt
to vary as to the probable result of
the game this afternoon. Winthrop
has won some good games this year
and will come in to Augusta deter
mined to put up the best fight pos
sible with hopes high for victory. On
the other hand, the Capital City lads
will play with their usual pep and
confidence and expect to land an
other game to their good list of the
seasons victories. Coach Thompson
will probably start Rideout in the
box, with Austin behind the bat. The
rest of the lineup will be the same
as in all previous games: Stafford, 1b;
Ellis. Oh; Roderick. 3b; Plummer. SIS:

1t was a great little ball team and

before starting the game to walk
over to each player and say some
thing as follows: IF l hold them
to five hits will you win for me?"
And to man they would spit on
their hands and reply, Hold them to
10 hits, Dill, old boy, and we will
win" They did, too, most of the

about playing for records. Many of
the errors they made were stopping

At Kent's Hill Today

Jimmy" Houghton, known to Au-

day. Houghton has made splendid
record during the past season, win

every game. He is probably
the premier pitcher in Maine school
boy circles this year. 1t is rumored
fit, which is developing lineup that,
according to all reports, will give Ben
Housers team a run for it's money.
Houghton has everything. control,
variety, change of pace and the whole
repertoire of curves and shoots. He
has had plenty of experience in the
box and is as steady as a grandfath-
er's clock. He is backed up by a
team of snappy youngsters who know
the game and give a thrilling exhibit

It will be remembered that Hough-
ton, playing for the Crossetts last
season, after pitching remarkable
strike out game, had trouble with
his arm and was laid off for the bal
ance of the season. About four weeks
afterwards, he had donned the uni
form of another team and finished
the season in good form. The only
criticism he ever received at Angus

too hard on easy men.
