J. S. Coates, Bay State expert in
track building, will be at Lewiston
early in May to superintend the re-
which the management is determined
shall be one of the best in the East.
The Boston Globe announced in
Gothic caps yesterday that the "Har-
ward Nine Plays Colby Tennis To-
day." meaning, probably, that the
Crimson was all "set" for the game ?
Earl J. Thomson of Dartmouth,
worlds American and Olympic hur-
die champion and record holder, will
run his last race on the Franklin
Field track. on which he achieved the
existing 120-yard high hurdle record,
next week, when he completes against
his greatest American rivals in the
invitation hurdle event at the annual
Penn. Ralay Carnival. He will try
for a new record. The carnival and
the coming Dartmouth-Co Columbia
dual meet are the only college games
in which he can compete this season.
as he no longer is eligible to run in
the intercollegiate A. A. \. A.
NJ l. T., with victory over SYRIA
horse in the coming carnival. We be-
lieve she will bear watching.
New England horse lovers will
have seven weeks of racing this sea-
son. The Maine dates open at Ban
Gar, August II. with a purse of $4,000;
Waterville, comes next, Aug. %, with
IS, 0G0, and the Pine Tree card winds

Winslow High school baseball sea
sen opened Saturday on the Lockwood
diamond with Clinton High school.
There was a large attendance. The
score was 33 to in favor of Wins
low.
Plenty of promising Cony High
baseball material in the Smith Sem
Tor Grammar school nine. And some
of the youngsters look pretty good,
too.
Babe Ruth has a real rival for cir
cult swat honors if Ken Williams of
the Tigers keeps up the pace he has
set for the past few games Ken
made it five homers in three days
when he scored SEVERED in the game
with the Browns yesterday.
It will be we'll to watch the work
of Ray Buker of Bates in the two
mile run at the Penn relay games
this year. He will be pitted against
the Browns of Cornell and those in
the know think he has a good chance
of making the Ithicans exert them
selves strenuously to win.
Gardiner High will depart from
the usual next fall when she meets
Haverhill or the gridiron for her
opening game.
Despite the trimming admins
tered to the Elm city lads by Madi-
son Saturday. the Waterville twirl-
ers made a pretty fair showing, and
it is doubtful if Cony will have the
romp tomorrow that they had in the
Morse game. Judging by his showing
in the opener, Wiseman of Water
willie is Coach Merrill's best bet.

sands of others in rejoicing that

Woodbury. Howe of the Press-Her
aid had us puzzled Monday with his
picture of the st. Mary's baseball
team over a story on her 1922 pros
poets. but the mystery was explained
when we caught sight of Walter
Brennan's map-the picture was
that of the 1921 squad and was taxi
en- nearly a year ago. Who slipped
that over on you, Woodbury.?
Paddock was credited with having
equalled his record of 8 So in the
100-yard dash. at Honolulu recently,
but conditions on the Hawaiian track
were somewhat different than the A.
A. P. requirements, and it is doubtful
if the record will stand.
Two of the Maine college teams
are slated for out of-the State con-
tests today. Maine meets Brown at
Providence, and Colby crosses bats
with Tufts at Medford.
Maine seems to have scrapper
of real promise in the Utah Kid of
Bangor and followers of the fistic art
are watching his work with unusual
interest.
