The first annual Augusta Gardiner
marathon race will be staged as one
OF the features of the Fourth of July
celebration in this city, according to
Athletic Director Ray NJ. Sanborn,
chairman of the athletic sports COM
mittcc. The race will start at Gardi-
ner and will be paced over the road
| 10 Augusta. finishing at the baseball
grounds on Williams field.
Beautiful silver cups have been
promised the winners through the
generosity of the directors of the Au-
eusta Baseball association. The
marathon will be open to any anna
teur who cares to compete, regard
less Of age or previous experience.
Central Maine has turned out some
fast long distance runners in the past
notably Frank Preti, formerly Of
Hallowell, ex-captain of the Univer-
sity of Maine barriers, and one-tirne
New England cross country champ
ion-and the marathon should pro-
vide some great competition.

Woodbury. Howe, sports editor OF
the Portland Press Herald, was IN COM
munication with Principal Clarence
Ouimhy of Cony High yesterday to try
to arrange a game between the Port
land All-Star baseball aggregation
and the crack Cony High nine, with
the desired date Friday, June 16.
Principal Quimby did not give the
Portland man e great deal Of encour-
agement for several reasons In the
first place. Don Brennan, Cony's star
twirlcr, is slated to pitch downrivcr
on Wednesday, the 14th, against the
strong Brunswick High team which
has met with but one defeat this sea-
son. and that at the hands of Cony at
Augusta on May II.
In the second place, the Portland
management asks a stiff guarantee
and, despite the interest in the game,
it is doubtful if a crowd large enough
to pay expenses could be assembled at
Capitol Park on a Friday afternoon.
In the third place, Cony does not
propose to tackle any all-star teams
until they are sure there are no high

champions sufficiently to fight it out

Fairfield has been discrcctly silent in
answer to Cony's def issued through
the sporting columns Of the Journal
June C. and It looks as though the
Fairfield boys will rest content on
their claims as Sentinel League win
ncrs-providng they trim Winslow to-
morrow-and will not se& the larger
title as central Maine or"Maine State
high school champions. June II is
about the only date that Cony can
play off a championship game with an
other team, as school closes on Juno

completed for an out-of-State game

DEL BISSONETTE
TO GENERAL The
LEWISTON TEAM

Lewiston, June S-DeI Bissonette
Of Winthrop, one Of the most popu-
lar and we'll known baseball players
in the State has been signed by
Manager J. D. Anderson Of the Lew
iston mi-professional team to play
first base and act as player manager.
Del made good at Cleveland and the
Indians still have strings on him but
a bad pitching arm has necessitated
lay off from that end Of the game
for the summer.
The move that brings Del to lew
istsn will bring the support of fans
who realize Bissonette's ability on
the diamond. Last summer the Win
throp boy was ranked as the leading
semi-pro first baseman in the State
and his work with Twin Towns
proved that this honor has not been
misplaced.
In addition to being a sweet fielder
on the initial bag Del is one Of the
toughest batters to pitch to that the
Maine twirlers faced last summer.
His knowledge of the game makes
him of the greatest value to any out
fit and his personality places him as
an ideal man to be in charge Of the
team that will represent Lewiston
this season.
Negotiations are now under way tc
opcp tho ccacon (une o4t n with the
old time rival. Portland, who has q
team lined up that isn't going to
prove an easy victim to any team
this season. July Sth is the red let
ter day in Lewiston base ball with

Lewiston competing in n tournament

appeared in the East Boston court
today charged with violating the

discharged after they had testified

PENDANTS were Vernon Browne and

titled that he had never played golf
before and lost his count. p, fridge
said he did NO keep tally.
Judge Barnes rendered his decision
of not guilty after consulting a die
tionary which, he said, defined q
game as "a contest according to set
rules in which scores are kept"
After the judge had made his find
ing Chief of Police Mcneil of Win

HlJRL EDDY C0NY-- wilt. Play ALL
STAR TEAMS As LAST RESORT

Lawrence High has several of her
players on the 1Vaterville all-star
team and it is a question whether
they had rather dispute Cony's claim
to the title on the 18th as team or
split up and play part of their play
ers on the upriver all-stars.
Westbrook Seminary looks like an
almost sure winner of the Portland
schoolboy league, and will not con-
test any claims which involve post
season games, and it is doubtful if
South Portland can arrange to scrap
it out with the Augusta boys.
The Portland anagement start
their all-star games on Wednesday,
June II, with the Sentinel aggrega-
ton meeting Portland's picked team
at the Forest City. They are booked
to play return date at Waterville
on June IT and desire to stop at Au-

of communication concerning the Colby
men who had earned their &C" for this
year. Whittcmore was awarded his
, letter for four years faithful work on
the Colby track team. Wallace was
awarded his CO. for four faithful
years on the cross country. The
awarding of letters to men who have
worked for Colby in athletics for four
years Is customary and letter re-
ceivod in this way is looked upon as
one Of the highest athletics honors
given. Most Of the mon who go out
are discouraged the first year if they
are not stars and a few arc looking
for personal glory. The four-year
varsity &C. IS given every year to
about two or three mon.
Sackctt and Cow won the State
championship in tennis and receive the
varsity &C" instead of the tennis &C."
Prof. Edwards specially commended
Gale the cheer leader for the past two
years. Gale has been real Colby
worker and has been just as snappy
a leader when the games were going
wrong as when Colby was winning.
