Two Happy Beavers
Of Bar HarbOr Me.

idents OF the town Of Bar Harbor, at
least, and the problems of construc-

, , those who know something of the
habits Of the beaver of the Lafayette
, National Park. The pair Of beaver,
building a dam Of $50 feet in length,
have raised the pond level at the out

feet. have caused the otherwise prac-
tcally dry meadow land to be flowed
for about II or Is acres: and they
have built themselves a mouse which

The Augusta A. c., Louis Dutil,
promoter has booked another classy
bout for Thursday evening of this
week. The following letter will give
the fans line ON the scrappers to be
seen in action that night:
Lewiston. Me. Dec. %, 1921.
Mr.. Louis Dutil, Augusta. Me.
Friend Louis:-It is with consider
able personal pleasure that / have
followed the announcement and ad-
vertising of your fights in City hall,
Augusta. Me-, upon Thursday eve
ming, Dec. 90. Primarily, it is my de-
sire to congratulate you upon your
enterprise in securing such q show
for the fight fans of Augusta, and
am entirely confident that they will
manifest their appreciation of your
endeavors by being present to man.
Such bill as YOU are putting on de-
serves the whole hearted approval
of every lover of the manly art in
Augusta and its environs. / person
ally know Kid DUDE, who is a Lew
iston boy. and who has gone to New
DIX, where ne mas uelealeU tHe pest
in the business, and when Augusta
fans witness him in action. they are
sure to confirm every word of praise
that | have spoken.
AS for Johnny Walker, of Bidde-
ford, formerly of St. Paul, Mimi, who
is a claimant for the featherweight
championship of Maine, I consider
that you have secured the services
of the one and only man in New
England who is capable of giving
DUDE the battle that a man of his
ability is entitled to today, and in
deed, knowing Walker as do. have
no hesitancy in predicting that the
encounter will prove to be a battle
royal.
In your semi final 1t is no exag-
geration to class that as practically
a main bout attraction. Battling for
the middleweight title of Maine, these
two boys should, and unquestionably
will. provide an exhibition that
should satisfy everyone. Even to
your preliminaries you have engaged

Boston led the league again this
season in fielding with .975 main
tanning the record tablished in
1916. A six-year record of leader
ship in any single department of play
is believed to be unique.
Philadelphia had the greatest
number of put outs, 1900 Chicago
the most assists. 2124. Chicago was
also first in double plays. 155. st.
Louis had only seven passed balls
and New York eight. Chicago,
Washington, st. Louis and Detroit
each turned one triple play. This
latter feature (four triple plays in
one season) is also unprecedented
and was undoubtedly made possible
by the fact that never before were
so many men on bases as was the
case this year.
Prominent among the individual
records is that of first baseman Nc
Innis of Boston, whose record for
the year is 800, he being charged
with but one error in 1872 games. No
other fielding records either in per-
centage OF accepted chances per
game were esta blished though the
scoring was unusually liberal. In
deed, the hitting was so terrific that
the averages of all infielders except
first basemen is below normal.
