THAT MILK ORDINANCE

THAT MILK ORDINANCE
Attention is called to the communi
cation of A. H. Oversmith in this
issue. MI. Oversmith points out, il
vigorous manner, the grave dangers
thai confront the people of Moscow
and surrounding country by the en-
forcement of the ordinance recently
passed by the city council. If hall
of what Mr.. Oversmith says is true
(and there is no reason to doubt that
it is all true) there is need of prompt
and forceful action.
AS a general thing we are being
overgoverned. So far as we have
beer able to learn the only complaint
against the present system of market
ing milk in Moscow comes from sour
ces interested in making a change.
Some time ago a young veterinarian
called at the editorial rooms and dis
cussed this matter with the editor.
He was very certain that such an
ordinance would be a good thing for
Moscow and would furnish employ
ment for several persons. The editor
refused to enthuse over the matter
for he believed that the young man
was looking forward to his own in
terests and was not very deeply con-
cerned about the health of Moscow
people.
There are toe many persons trying
to make jobs for themselves or their
friends. They seem to have a horror
of honest, productive toll and want a
salaried position with state, county
or federal government. We have TOO
many of this class.
Mr.. Oversmith's statements should
facts warrant the fears he expresses
the citizens of Moscow and he farm
ers and daiIymen should TAXI action
at once. 1t is certainly a very grave
situation if the people of Moscow are
to be deprived of milk. cream and
dairy products by the enforcement OF
an ordinance that no other town the
size of Moscow has, or that the dairy
Industry here is to be ruined. Let us
ave a thorough and prompt investi-
cation and if the ordinance means
what MI Oversmith says it does we
feel confident that the city council
will repeal or modify it. Surely no
member of the council wants to do an
injustice to Moscow citizens OF the
dairymen of this section.

CONY COMMENCEMENT
DAY BALL GAME TO Be
STELLAR ATTRACTION

Principal Clarence P. Quimby Of
Cony High school announced Tues
day that one of the features of Com
mencement Day on Wednesday, June
%. will be baseball game with some
one of the big school teams laying
claim to the baseball championship of
Maine The Cony boys have chal-
lenged either Deering High or Port
land High of the Telegram League,
and are in hopes of securing one of
these teams as the attraction for that
afternoon.
However, should arrangements not
be made, it is thought that Cony will
accept the State wide challenge of
Skowhegan High who at the present
time are confident Of their champion
ship status and would be willing to
appear in the Capital City at that
time. Whatever may be the outcome,
it is practically assured that local
fans will see grand game for the
last one of the High school season
here, which game will be eagerly
looked forward to with considerable
anticipation.

BISSONETTE TO
HAVE TRIAL WITH
YANKEE TEAM

Del BiSSonette of Winthrop, well
known in baseball circles in the Ken
nebec valley, left for New York today
to join the New York American club.
Bissonette is a left-handed pitcher
and the New York club has been short
of southpaws of late. The New York
club has had a string on Bissonette
for some time and has been wa tching
his performances on various diamonds.
He has been going to Georgetown
University and has played eight
games on that team this season. He
began to attract attention while with
the Westbrook Seminary team and has
"a record of 81 strikeouts in the game
1t is probable that Bissonette may not
get into the regular games this season,
but he will be used for while for
batting practice for the New York
players His brother, Leo Bissonette,
is already a pitcher on the Winthrop
High baseball team and has been I'M
der the tutelage of "Squanto" Wilson,
the principal of the school and far
mer big Lacquer.
People generally expect that Bis
sonette will make good and his friends
i'll Winthrop and Augusta are much de-
lighted.

TWO AT A LICK
NOW RUTH'S CLIP

New York. June 14-Repeating his
performance of yesterday, Babe Ruth
raped out two more home runs in
today's game with the Tigers. He
registered his first in the first inning
and his second in the third, in both
instances with one man on.
New honors were added to Ruth's
credit by batting Dauss of Detroit
for the two homers.
Besides making four home runs in
two successive contests beating his
own mark of three in two games, the
Yankee slugger has made a total of
seven home runs in five consecutive
games. new major league record. In
his past five official times at bat, Ruth
has gratified the hopes Of the specta-
tors with four home runs He is now
16 days ahead of his 1920 record. Last
year he crashed out his 23rd and oath
homers on June 80.
Ruth's second homer surpassed
his record long distance hit of yes
terday. The ball again dropped into
the center field bleachers, landing a
few rows farther back than yester-
days smash. The distance today was
estimated at about Ats feet.

JACK MONROE

Standardized in between those two
famous examples of lopSidedness-

and uneven battle in which James J.
'Jeffries whipped Jack Munroe. Mum

champion in 1904. but when he was
pitted against Jeffries the aspiration
appeared to be his strongest claim to
chance at. the honor.
Early in the second round the ref
cree thought Munroe had learned his
lesson and held up Jeffries' palm
The fighters met in San Francisco
on August 26. Munroe defended him

gloves above his head. He made sew

their objective. Jeffries then knocked
him down for six counts.

with left hand punch and again he
went down, remaining there for seven

Munroe settled on his launches, his
head wobbly, but arose before the
last count. He clinched and the bell
saved him.
The second round had no sooner
opened than he fell once more with a
new sore spot. Even then he could
not break himself of the habit of
coming back for more. This time
Jeffries stabbed his left into Munroe's
weary ribs, and the challenger draped
himself over the champions arm.

C0NY VS.. LIVERMORE
FALLS HIGH AT 4P. M.
TODAY, WILLIAMS FIELD

Baseball fans will have another op-
portunity to witness Cony High in
another battle today when they will
meet the strong Livermore Falls
High team in the game scheduled for
4 o'clock this afternoon on the Will
liams field. This is one of the last
games Of the season and all support
ers of the Capital City boys should
turn out and show their appreciation
of the fine exhibitions of the national
game that this team has put across
this year. Certainly Cony has done
we'll and merits all the praise and
support that the fans can give.
The game today promises to be a
good one. The Androscoggin bunch
are coming over prepared to give the
local lads the contest of their lives,
the boys from over that way are
likely players, and have won some
fine games this year. However. Cony
will appear on the field with the same
and courage that has char
acterized their spirit in all previous
games and will be ready to do some

It is expected that Coach Thomp-

land; and so far no such record has
been reported in schoolboys' circles
in the country. Holway in the half
mile broke the school record at
Hebron, but cannot get credit for it
because the squad lost the race.
Plummer in the pole vault, has
shown up we'll at all times. Brennan
has been good man in the weight
events, while Giddings and Poor
eXcelled in the high jumps. Judkins
and Howell have been good workers
in the distances, and Seller, Thomas
and Winslow performed well in the
dashes.
Taking it all in all, the squad de-
serves no little credit for their years
record, having at all times represent
ed the school well under all circum-
stances. Coach Thompson, who has
had the boys under his direction, is
well pleased with what they have
done and thinks that no school in
the State the size of Copy can pre-
sent a more commendable track
record.

The track squad at Cony High
school has enjoyed a most successful
season although somewhat embar-
raised because of the fact that with
the exception of the Hebron Invita-
tional meet at Hebron, at no time
and in no meet was it able to pre-
sept it's full strength against it's
competing adversaries. In Two in
stances, Cony established school
records, one of which undoubtedly is
New England record. Three of the
best point winners, Brennan, Far
rington and Plummer, were unable
to enter in many of the meets be-
cause their services seemed more i'm
portant on the baseball diamond.
Cony's track season opened with
the Hebron Invitational meet at
Hebron, the Augusta boys winning
the meet by a close margin of only
few points over their old time
rivals, Gardiner High, and bringing
home with them the trophy prize, a
solid oak shield, suitably inscribed.
