Cony and Portland High
To Meet Friday Night

Coach Thompson announces that
arrangements have been made for a
return game with Portland High
school for Friday evening of this
week. Basketball fans will probably
find this their last opportunity to
witness the Cony boys work on the
polished surface for this season.
The game was scheduled to have
been played Friday evening, Mar.
25, but owing to the fact that the
Portland boys are to take part in the
Maine Tournament at Orono on that
night. a change was made necessary.
The Portland lads will come to the
Capital city determined to win and
will bring every point to bear which
will count for results. They are Il
fast lot and will give the local boys
a hard go. On the other hand.
Cony boys are out to win and will
have their usual lineup which has
in the past been able to overcome
some of the best speedsters in the
State. The game will be called at
7.3O sharp. Arthur Abbott will be
on hand to referee, as usual, and ac-
cording to indications it is expected
that an unusually large attendance
will be on hand.

Indoor Baseball League
Possibility at "Y" Building

Physical Director r. NJ. Sanborn
OF the Y. M. c. A. is quite seriously
considering the organization of a
Sunday School Indoor Baseball
League similar in detail to the pres
ent Basketball League which will
conclude it's schedule with the two
games to be played on Saturday aft
ernoon next. The league has proven
such success among the youngsters
that Coach Sanborn thinks that in
door baseball would be an added at
traction for the boys during the
spring season. Indoor baseball is
played very much the same as the
regular outdoor game with the ex-
ception that only six players are re-
quired to make up one team instead
of the usual nine. The inf1eld is
somewhat smaller and the pitcher }
box is only 25 feet from home plate.
The rules of the game are the same
but the pitcher is obliged to throw
an underhand ball. The balls used
are little larger than the regula-
ton league ball and lighter and the
bats are much smaller and lighter
weight. The gymnasium at the ''Y"
building is especially fitted for the
playing of the game the floor having
previously been marked off in regu-
lation style at the time the floor was
first laid. The boys at the building
are most enthusiastic over the idea
and are looking forward eagerly to
the organization of teams for the
make up of the league.
