officials. He predicts that mines will
be re-opened at the rate of perhaps
two a day until the entire group of

the miners is identical with that paid
during 1917 until which day laborers
under ground received $3.50. other en-

Hebron Meet Off;
C0ny May Compete
on SkOWhegan Track

Word was received from Hebron yes
terday that, due to the shortncss of
the spring term this year, the Hebron
invitational meet had been cancelled.
1t is believed that a lack of entries
also played large part in the de-
c.sion. This means that Cony will
not have the opportunity of compel
ing this year for permanent posses
sion of the track shield which she r"r-
Ecred al the academy meet last season.
Just whether or not sh1 will claim it
by forfeit has not been definitely de-
cided.
Upon hearing the decision of the
Hebron authorities. Coach Thomp-
son at once got into communication
with Skowhegan High to see if the
upriver school would not make their
dual meet with Madison High tri-
angular meet with Cony the third
party The Skowhegan authorities
agreed at once. and providing Madi-
son acquiesces. the Red and White
will appear in track uniforms Satur-
day morning. At a late hour last
night no word has been received
from Madison.
Skowhegan won hr~ first leet OF
the season against Foxcroft Academy
last s;aturdav and is crcG.ted with
having q rood team. and TIL, competi-
tion would be valuable to Cony in pre-
pairing for the three meets which come
now in close succession on successive
Saturdays-the first at University Of
Maine, then "owdoin. Bates, and the
Gardiner dual meet.

Two Autos in Mixup
TraiE. Engineer Stops
More Serious Results

Just as train number l02 had
started from the railroad station
yesterday afternoon at 1928 bound
west, a Ford truck driven by Walter
Ware for Robert Nivison dashed up
Front street and attempted to cut in
front of the train. as Mr.. Ware had
a package of important papers for
Mr.. Nivison, who had just boarded
the train for Boston. A Buick coupe
driven by A. S. Brown of this city
had crossed the railroad track going
north on the right side Of College
avenue.
The coupe struck the rear of the
auto truck and the steering gear of
the coupe was damaged to such an
extent that Mr.. Brown could not re-
tain control of the car. which crash
ed into a railroad crossing sign on
the west side of College avenue at
the junction of College avenue and
Chaplin streets.
The engineer of the train saw the
accident and Immediately threw the
brakes into emergency. Mr.. Ware
grabbed his package of papers. ran
around the front of the train and de-
livered them to Mr.. Nivison, who was
standing on the steps of a Pullman
car to receive them, but who had no
inkling of the crash that had just
occurred.
Then Mr.. Ware went back to in
vestisate the damages. The Ford
auto truck had q bent mud guard
over the rear left wheel, and the right
tire was wrenched in such q way that
new spare wheel had to be set be-
fore the auto truck could proceed.
Mr.. Brown was forced to accept a
tow from another machine before he
could leave the scene of the accident
although his power plant appeared
not to be damaged.
There was question in the minds
of eye witnesses whether or not
| blame could be attached to either
party. Both Mr.. Ware and Mr.
Brown were giving close attention to
the train, which had just started,
and it was understood that the cross
ing man was at his post, but had not
set his signal as any car would have
been able TO cross the track in safe
ty before the train was under way.
Those who saw the smash were of
the opinion that had the circum-
stances been slightly different the
result might have been more serious.

COLBY SHOWS HER BEST BALL Of
THE YEAR AND HOLDS BOWDOIN
SLUCCERS TO 4 TO 0 DECISION
Especial to Kennebec Journal

(opeclal 10 henneDec JoQrnal.)
Waterville, May 1O.-Bowdoin
chalked up another game towards
the Maine Championship today when
Colby passed up the game in the first
inning. NJ. Morrell was the first man
up for Bowdoin and he got to the
first corner on muffed fly to center
field. Needleman was next and he
found the leather for hot grounder
through deep center field that
reached the infield just after Needle
man had crossed the plate for Bow
doin's second run.
Things looked bad for Colby when
Fransen let the next one silt through
giving Smith his base. Morrell
fouled out to Lanphcr and then Will
liams tossed the ball in to Callaghan
to complete a double play that ended
; the inning.
The first inning for Colby at the
bat was an entirely different story.
Haincs famed. Nichols flied out to
right field and Royal went out at
III 81. llS SilllC hSHl diolIS SColtltSS
| for two innings and then in the
| fourth Handy got to first on an or
ron and after working around to third
or single by Walker and a pass
for Jones, Handy strolled home on
wild pitch.
The final run was scored in the
fifth when Needleman started the in
nh Innhln nd oft In a. 9
| went out on long fly A. Morrell
came up and swung the willow for
another double while Needleman
came across the plate for the fourth
! tally. -
From then on, it was good game.
| The Colby fielders began to work
right, and no more scoring was done
on either side. In the eighth, Wal
| ler was passed but he fell asleep
| off the bag about two seconds after
| he got there and Callaghan tagged
! him out.
Colby threatened to score in the
| fourth when Royal snapped out d
nice little single and then Walker
! came through with a wild pitch. with
/ no out. Walker came back with two
! strikeouts and the third nan went
out at first SO Royal was left on
! second.
| This is Towards first game this
! year, but he showed up we'll through
the whole nine innings. He has a
+ rather deceptive delivery and all OF
his strikcouts were cleverly work
ed. Needleman came UP for n home
run the first time but Howard
struck him out on the second time
up.
Colby batsmen We're unable to do
anything to Walkers delivery and
when they did find the ball. the
Bowdoin fielders were right there
Morrell at shortstop made some great
stops and felded several hot ground
crs that looked like sure hits.
There was plenty of room in tho
| Colby grandstand today, they have
just removed the last forms and
there was seating capacity for 2500
but only 500 took advantage of the
fact.
