The Bowdoin baseball team will
leave Brunswick, Monday morning on
the first lap of their Southern strip"
which will effectually open their sea-
son as well as prime them up for the
hard schedule ahead Of them. The

day and thence to Philadelphia to
face L. of Penn, on Saturday.
Fifteen men including Coach Ben
Houser and Manager Francis Ridley,
Y. of Lewiston, will make the trip.
Coach Houser will keep them in trim
oF constant workouts ON the way. He
will have his men on Ebbets Field in
Brooklyn on Tuesday for a short
practice before the Princeton game
the next day and on Friday he will
have the privilege of using Shibe
Field in Philadelphia, the stamping
ground of the Athletics, the club to
which Coach Houser once belonged in
his professional ball days.
On paper Bowdoin's prospects for
bright season this spring are excel
lent with five letter men back and a
clutter of most promising candidates
What the season will bring forth re-
mains to be seen, but those who have
seen the team working predict a great
season ahead. Meanwhile the conser-
Vatiye BoWdoin in baseball mentor
only smiles and works away with the
men not giving any time to any
sweeping statements as to the pros
poets. Asked Friday afternoon as to
the prospects, he replied, I'VE ought
to have good team, but we will let
the results speak for themselves"
Competition for positions on the
team this spring has been unusually
keen. A host of candidates have been
working out for the past month and a
half in the gym and for the last two
weeks on Whittier Field There have
been several candidates out for each
position and varsity letter men have
been forced to plug hard to retain their
old positions.
Coach Houser has announced as fol-
lows the -team which he will send I'D
against Princeton on Wednesday of
this week:
Jack Handy, catcher: Fred Walker.

Waldo Finn, veteran twirler for two
years. will be seIft against Columbia

who will be in the box for Bowdoin
on Saturday against U. of Penn. Coach
Houser will have in reserve on the trip
Bling" futile and Dave Needleman,
the southpaw and former Portland
High twirler. Mac Morrell, a brother
to Al. will go on the trip as a back
stop and he will be used in part of the
games. George Davis, former Port

RIVAL MAINE FAIRS
OUTBIDDING EACH OTHER

The Corning and Bridgton Agricul-
tural Associations have declared
war. For the first time their fairs
and race dates conflict. Both asso-
Citations name August 16. II and Is as
the dates for their annual exhibitions.
Last week Bridgton came out with
the announcement of two $1,000
stakes, the largest ever offered in the
history of Western Maine. Yesterday
the "Cornishmen" raised the ante
one hundred bucks, and announced a
pair of S1100 stakes. Bridgton offered
four $500 purse class races, and Cor
nish has come through with four
$3.50 purses.
In years past the Cornish fair has
opened the season for Western
Maine, but in the past two seasons,
Bridgton has taken the early dates.
The Cornish and Bridgton manage
ments have tried diplomatic confer
ence nvain this season, and with
both sides stubborn, it is a war to the
last gun, or rather the last dollar.
Purses amounting to $3.50 will be
offered for seven races by the Cor
pish fair management, the dates be-
ing August Is, II, Is. This is by all
odds the most liberal inducement
ever formulated in a race program
by any country fair association in
this State and is made in an en-
deavor to bring together a great field
of fast horses, says Secretly Leon NJ.
Aver.
Cornish has opened the Western
Maine race meetings for years and
will retain the early August dates ac-
cording to it's custom, starting now
to prepare for its banner speed event
in the As years that the annual fair
and races have been held on these
same grounds.

officials of the meet said an effort
would be made to have the Amateur

WAS a slight brceZ at times during

might be some difficulty about this.

Mclnnis Not Worried

Boston, Mar. 27-Baseball is to
have its inning in court here. "Stuf-
fy' McInnes. first baseman of the
Red Sox, said today that he had been
served with a notice Of suit by
President Fl. H, Frazee of the local
American League club in the form
of an action in contract to show why
Mc1nnes should not report to play
with the SoX. who are now on q
southern training trip. The action is
returnable May first in the Suffolt
county Superior court.
McInnes. who has been at his home
! in Manchester, \. H., while his team
! mates were in training at Hot
Springs, Ark. because salary and bo.
nus allowances had not been adjust
ed, said he was not concerned over
the action.
Il signed a contract in 1918 as did
Scott and Schang, for three years.
the first baseman said. my salary
is $1,000. The other two players have
received considerations aside from
those called for by their contracts
and I begrudge them nothing. Frazee
paid me a bonus last November af-
ter he had allowed his promise to dc
so to drag along without fulfllment
for several months. AS things stan6
now, he has made me no offer or pro-
posal of a similar nature this year
although press dispatches quote him
as saying he was offered very liberal
terms"
Mclnnes said he WASH OF a holdout
in the ordinary sense because he felt
he was entitled tn consideration be-
yond the terms of his written agree
ment. if fairness was shown. He said
he was not contract-breaker ano
, thought he had no cause to fear the
result of any suit. He also asserted
that he had not yet referred the mat
ter to an attorney.

G0mpers Firm in

Recognition of Russia

Washington, March 27--(By The
Associated Press)-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, today denounced as
''unpatriotic Americans" those labor
his refusal to indorse the Russian
Soviet government or to urge its
recognition by the United States.
Flat refusal to retract in the slight
est from his position was expressed
by Mr.. Gompers in $500 word let
ter to the Central Trades Union of
Kalamazoo. Michigan, Phoenix, Ari-
IONA, Laramie, Wyoming and other
similar labor organizations which
had adopted resolutions condemn
ing the present administration of the
federation for it's Russian stand, as
subservient to capital and against
the best interests of the workers. The
action of these bodies, the letter said
apparently was based on conclusions
drawn from utter misinformation'
Of the true situation in Russia.
I'm the many years Il have been
an official of the American Fedora
ton of Labor" the letter said, "no
document has been received by me
containing more misinformation or
conclusions based upon such a lack
of knowledge. 1t is true that / have
read much Of the propaganda that is
being circulated throughout the
United States in favor of the Bolshe-
vik government of Russia and it is
true that the letter adopted by the
Kalamazoo trades and labor council
gives voice to that propaganda.
'In these days it is past under
standing how American citizens can
bring themselves to aid and comfort
a Propaganda that has for it's pur-
pose the destruction of the trade la
Dor movement in America and the
overthrow of our republic"
Millions of dollars are known to
have been sent from Russia to the
United states to pay those who cir
culate Bolshevik propaganda" Mr..
c. mpeis said. 'If those who have
consciously or unconsciously aided in
the circulation have failed to be re-
warded they have missed a great op-
portunity for gain, for their services
have been well worth financial recog-
milton by Lenine and Trotzky.
when the people of Russia elect
representative government, the
American Federation of Labor will be
the first to demand its recognition"
It Is understood that about so CEN
trail labor organizations and indi-
vidual locals have gone on record in
more or less heated terms as oppos-
ing Mr.. Gompers' anti Russian pol
icy. At federation headquarters

this opposition, which was declared
to represent only a small percentage
of the entire membership of the fed
