The score was 10 to 2 and Lewiston
Hight was on the short end. Just
as the boys were ready to trot onto
the field the above wire from Coach
Thompson was received and after
quickly retiring the visitors the Red
and White hosed youngsters opened
terrific barrage on one, Jordan and
when the smoke had lifted, the port
slider was in the showers, Paine was
hurting and Cony had hung up a
comfortable margin Of seven runs. 1t
certainly was a hectic cantO with the
official scorer frantically Jotting down
in the book, on his cuff and divers
other places.
Despite this lead Don Brennan
kept on saving wood, the visitors
getting but three hits, one of them
a scratch and another that should
have been an easy out, Allison mis-
Judging Lafond's drive to center, the
ball going over his head. Don also
had a busy day with the willow,
crashing out a double and two sin
gies. Austin also connected for two

the team got one or two hits.
Captain Ellis at second. played
good and bad ball, his assist Of
Bakers hot one in the third being
clever piece OF work. He fell down
on a couple of easy ones however.
Bush made a pretty play in the sixth
when he took Wiseman's hot shot
and peggcd to Austin for an out at
the plate. Allison smothered a
couple of lofty ones and harrington
made an easy catch Of long one by
Callahan.
Lewiston was licked from the start
and failed to show much fighting
spirit, the shining exception being
Lafond, the poppy little backstop,
who was alive every minute and who
passed up no bets on foul fiys. He
also killed Allison when he attempt

Three hurlers were used and none
of these looked formidable to Cony.

BOWDO|N TENNIS
TEAM Wins AT
COUNTRY CLUB

The Bowdoin college tennis team
proved too strong Tor the Augusta
Country Club racqueters yesterday
afternoon on the Club courts, and the
Brunswick collegians went back
down river the victor in four Of their
six matches.
The doubles matches closed ffty-
fifty. but Burleigh Martin was the
only man on the Country Club team
that took his match in the singles.
The matches in all cases were much
closer than the game score would in
dictate, and almost without exception.
the games were bitterly contested,
with deuce the rule rather than the
exception.
There was a stiff wind from the
south, that bothered some, and
neither Of the courts was in first
class condition. The Augusta men
took their positions with very little
practice, and in view OF this fact
played unusual tennis. Burleigh Mar
tin and Sam Titcomb played without
having had a racquet in their hands
before this season. George Part
ridge and Lord, likely looking
freshman from Andover starred for
Bowdoin with the Bishop brothers
playing an excellent game as well.

BADLY CRIPPLED

Waterville, May 3.--Colby entries
for State intercollegiate Meet were
approved late this evening after
long debate. The men who were in
eligible for the Boston College meet
are still ineligible. but they are given
until the day before the State meet to
get up in their classes.
II these men do not become eligible
for the State meet, Colby has very
small chance of scoring at all. The
three men who are most important on
the list of ineligibles arc: Weise, Mer-
Ger and Hearon.
Weise is the State champion hur-
dler, Mercer leads in the half mile,
land Hearon is the best sprint man at
Colby. Another great worry that
must be on Coach Ryan's mind, is the
fact that Moose" Cook. the big
weight man and captain of the track
team has been called home by the ILL
ness of his father, and will be unable
to compete.
Curtis Haines, who was captain of
the tract team last year, and who was
one Of the fastest sprinters at Colby
has left college, but Hearn will fill
his pace.
This is the first meet at Colby for
seven wears and several thousand dol
lars have been spent to produce the
best track in Maine.
Mike Ryan has been working for
three years to produce a good track
team and if Colby does not come
through this year his work will be
wasted All of the men who are stars
at Colby at the present time have
been trained by Coach Ryan.
