Maine intercollegiate
Athletic Meet May ii

The annual track and field meet of
the Maine Intercollegiate Athletic
Association will occur at Whittier
Field at Bowdoin next Saturday, and
the students at Bates are hoping for
a better showing on the part of the
local team than they have made for
several years. A few go so far as. to
hope for the winning of the meet,
but the general feeling is probably
not quite so enthusiastic. Bates has,
however, a few stars who will be
heard from.
Foremost of these is Raymond
Bates Buker, the two-miler, whose
record in winning the intercollegiate
two mile at the Penn relay carnival
last week opened the eyes of the
whole college athletic world. Unless
something happens to him during the
. coming week the two mile record of
ON 81 2-5s, made by Pretti of Maine.
is quite certain to go by the board.
Buker did it on slow track at
Philadelphia in 9m % 2-5s, which
seems to indicate his ability to
smash the record this year. He will
also start in the mile.
Richard S. Buker the twin brother
of the two-miler. who won the half
mile last year, is also running faster
! this year than last. and is picked
generally to repeat in this event.
Wiggin, the baseball captain, who
| won the 100 last wear. will run again
this year, and will have as a mate
Farley, the Huntington School
sprinter, who is even faster than
Wiggin. Farley willN also run in the
| 220. and probably will also throw the
discus.
| Luce. who won the discus throw in
the dual meet with Rowdoin last
year. has been beating the State rec
ord in practice, and if he can do as
, we'll in competition, will land near
the top in this event. He threw 1t
over 116 feet at the Penn carnival
fast week. which is as far as Maine
throwers have been throwing it in
recent years.

New Westbrook Diamond

One of the features of the summer
season in the Westbrook Community
associations activities will be the
building of a baseball diamond for
the younger element of the associa-
tons membership. Heretofore the
Youngsters have had to use the War
rem League grounds in company with
the older ball players, or else use
some sand lot, not conducive to good
ball playing. The new diamond will
be laid out between the tennis courts
of the association and the swimming
tank The field will be plowed and
narrowed and then rolled by crew
from the s. D. Warren mill. under
the direction of c. Omer Porter.
When this new playing ground is
completed it will bring the outdoor
activities of the association very
close together, making for conven-
fence in handling.

grounds on Thursday evening with

While this is not considered real
hard contest by the admirers of the
paper city team. the Decring team
numbers some fast ball players on its
roster and an interesting contest
can be looked for. At all events it
will give Westbrook fans a chance
to size up the aggregation represent

Smith Grammar is; harrington IS
The Smith Grammar school base
ball team was able Monday to admin
lister defeat to the huskies represent
ing the Harrington Grammar by
close score of 16 to IS. The game was
played on the Ruel Williams Athletic
Field and was closely contested from
the beginning until the last man was
out. The features of the battle was
the hard hitting of the Smith boys at
times when hits meant runs, Bush
being greatly responsible with his
stick work for the total runs piled up
against the harrington aggregation.
Armstrong Of Smith made two fine
catches which doubtless saved the
game. The Harrington boys put up a
great fight but failed to get lead
at the first of the game. The bate
ries for Smith were LePidas, Doyon
and Bush: for harrington, Burns,
Bradstreet and Haskell. This is the
second game between these two
squads the first game played a week

action, Newman told Magistrate Corri-

a final resort after fourteen years of
petty persecution.
Newman said his mother, who uses
her maiden name and lives at 63 West

of jewelry from women and by cir

members became widely scattered.
During the year many suspects have

those who were rounded up and after
ward absoived were Fiorian Zelenko,
arrested in Pittsburgh three weeks

arrested last April In Scranton, Pa. as
a Stacker and who. several witnesses

leased for lack OF adequate evidence on
