BoWdoin and Bates
Not to Play Game
on Memorial Day

Brunswick, Me-, April 14-(Spec-
iaD-Francis r. Ridley OF Lewiston,
manager of the Bowdoin college
baseball team announced this after
noon that the annual game between
Bowdoin and Bates which for many
years been played in Lewiston on
Memorial day should not be played
on that date out of respect of the
spirit of the law enacted at the ses-
sion of the State Legislature just
closed which provided that no games
at which admission is charged or q
collection is taken shall be played on
Memorial day. In making the an
nouncement Manager Ridley stated
that while the new law does not go
into effect in time to make 1t illegal
to play the game this year there is
the great moral question as to the
right to play and that the Bowdoin
college team in view Of the circum-
stances does not feel at liberty to
play on Memorial day. Arrange
ments are now being made for diff
ferent date and it is thought that the
game will probably be- played on
Wednesday, June LIST.

Baseball at Cony
Indicates Success
for Season 1921

rams are HOW pclHS AoENhukaISo oAu
preliminary steps have already been
undertaken for the building up OF .
real baseball team to represent Cony
High school on the diamond for the
season Of 1921. Coach Thompson has
bunch that his aggregation will de-
velop some material that will count
for some victories when the time
comes for a good showing UP of
fast and speedy team.
The squad has been out about two
weeks and tho boys are getting their
whips in shape. and some are hitting
the ball little The team squad has
been cut to % men and although there
are eight letter men On 1t, there will
be several classy contests for positions.
Brennan and Rideout are both trieo
pitchers and will do the bulk Of the
twirling. harrington and c. Poor are
being developed as possibilities. Be-
hind the bat finds Austin. last years
catcher. and Stafford. who is showing,
up we'll. Scribner is improving daily
and may be of service before the year
is over.
At first a new man must be devel-
oped and at present Stafford. S. Poor
and Jones are taking turns with the
odds on Stafford, as Poor is good out
fielder.
At second, Ellis has the call. but a
freshman. Hayden. has the marks of a
ball player and with a little expert
ence will make good fight for the po-
sition.
Maurice Roderick, last years third
baseman, is on the job and, as he was
coming rapidly last year, should fill
the position well. Reid and b. Plum
mer are the other most likely COM
petitors.
new man must be developed at
short and close fight is on between
Murray, Roderick and Bush, with hon
ors about even so far.
In the outfield there are harrington,
Capt. Drawn and Poor, and they make
up a rather fair schoolboy outfield.
They will be pressed by Winslow,
Hewett, Sawyer. Knowles and Gold
berg, all of whom can catch ball,
and. if they develop with the bat, will
get a chance to appear in the lineup
The first game of a hard 1S-game
schedule is next Tuesday with the
Alumni, and with good weather they
will be in shape to put up a better
first game than usual.
The oldest inhabtant cannot remem-
Der when the Alumni have lost TO the
youngsters, so the boys are anxious to
put over win If possible.
The rest Of the squad is being organ
lied into a second team and will try to
get at least two games a week with
the grammar schools. 9tn grade, and
second teams of other schools

Sadly Red Sox Hures Easy for Senators
Bath Volleyball
Team Here Today

For the first time since the local Y.
NJ. C. A. was opened, there is to be an
inter-city volleyball contest at the
Augusta gymnasium on Friday eve
ming. The opponents of the Capital
City men will be business men from
Bath, who will make the trip here by
automobile.
Physical Instructor r. NJ. Sanborn
has been several days making the ne
gotiations and so today six of the best
men the Shipbuilding City can produce
will be here to try their skill against
half a dozen Augusta business men.
The game will start at o'clock and
everyone is welcome to see them. After
the contests the visitors will be the
guests of the local players at supper.
A return match will be played in
week or so.
The Bath Daily Times Of Wednes-
day evening has the following to say
in regard to the game: Another
chance will be given the Y. NJ. c. A.
volleyball team to win some laurels
when the team travels to Augusta Fri
day to meet the Augusta Y team. The
Bath men have found that Portland's
outfit is too much for them, hut they
believe that they can show the vol
leybalr players of the Capital a few
tricks about the game that they never
heard of. There probably will be a
return game down here very soon.''

Sees BIG Loss Time

Washington, April 1.-THE decision
of the Railway Labor Board 20 abro-
gate the national agreements came as
surprise to organized labor. William
III. Johnston, president of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists and
spokesman of the railway workers
unions within the American Federation
of Labor, said here tonight.
This means a tremendous loss of
time and tremendous expense" he
said, when the whole problem In
stead of being disintegrated to the
various roads could have been thresh-
cd out by one committee"
Mr.. Johnston said the problem OF
negotiating new agreements with sep
arate roads was so large under the
ruling of the board that organized Ia
Dor would not have officers enough to
advise with all it's men atall points.
About 200 roads and Is railroad en-
ployes' organizations are affected, he
said.

Elks' Minstrels Are
Funny and MelOdiOus

The Elks' Minstrel show which
was given Thursday evening at the
City Opera house was decided sue
cess and outshone in it's brilliancy
all previous efforts of the aorganiza-
ton. The show was given before a
capacity house, the audience fully
approaching the talent which was
presented for their entertainment.
The stage setting was very at
tractive and the costumes bright and
snowy.
The entertainment was in two
parts, the first part consisting of
three acts and the second part the
minstrel show. The first act was
1.-THE Battle of Too Soon," a comic
sketch which was exceedingly fun
ny. To say that Edward Baxter i'm
personated the principal character,
an American officer. is sufficient to
know that it was side-splitting and
to add to that fact that Bernard
Donovan was the officers orderly
would increase the comic situation
by a big per cent.
The second act was entitled
when Women Rule" and was sup
posed to be Waterville in the year
1000. This was exceedingly comic
and was we'll done by Fred LaBrack,
Harold Kimball, George Boudreau
and Norman Harkell. The third
part was a real concert by Julius
Sussman on the violin. Mr.. Sussman
is an artist of high order and his
music was much appreciated by the
audience.
The minstrel show of itself was
exceedingly good. Harold W. Kim
ball made a fine interlocutor and
kept things moving right up to the
minute. He was ably assisted by his
end men who were Ralph Blunt,
Merton Ware, DR.. r. T. Turcotte,
David Boudreau. Richard Bull, Ed
ward Baxter, Louis Marquis and
George Boudreau.
There were many local hits which
weer fully appreciated and were TAX
en- good naturally by the victim,
who was always some prominent
man in the community. The songs
were of a high standard, several of
them being very finely rendered
''The Bells Of st. Mary's' by Harry
Marcou was a most worthy effort
and showed the fine voice of the
singer to good advantage. There
were several funny songs too which
brought forth rounds of applause
and the performers were called back
again and again. OF course, Ralph
Blunt did his arf opd +b,+ xrro~ =
big part In amusing the audience,
as he always does.
On the whole the entertainment

hen statements clearly. She said that
as she was finishing her work for the

here, isn't he?" His wife answered
that Brown was working there the
same as anyone else, that he :,ad The
same chance to ork as others, that
she did not have the hiring nor the
firing to do. He answered, Mrs. Knox
testified, You can take Brown and
go to hell with him if you want to-"
Mrs. Knox said that she didn't want
anything of Brown and at that point,
Laura asked her father to "cut it
out" -,
When they arrived at their home.
Knox put up the horse and came into
the house where his wife was sitting
in chair and putting his arm around
her neck asked her what made her SO
ugly. She answered you've been
drinking. Go sit down and sober Off"
AT that, Knox was enraged and said.
his wife testified, "I'll fix the whole
of you." and started for the dining
room, where box of rifle shells were
kept on shelf and took them down
and put them in his pocket. Mrs.
Knox sprang up and stood against
the door leading up stairs so that
Knox shouldn't go after his gun, but
Knox, she stated, went around an
other way and started to go up stairs
through another door. Mrs. Knox
said that she sprang after him and
took him by the collar and twisted
him around and down off the stairs.
