ception of one stormy Saturday since
the textile strike began here two
weeks ago Monday. At the Acadia.
Katama. Monomac and Pemberton
plants the four which still throw
open their gates each morning. there
were not more than 100 pickets com
bined and police officers at the gates
said that fewer than ever went into
these plants to work.
The police officers are having very
little to do and If the quiet that pre-

called upon for duty tomorrow.

COburn Starts
Her Season with
Team Green Men

Ginger" Fraser, the Coburn ath-
lctic coach, has got to make a new
team out of the baseball material
| that he has out this year. Harris is
| the only veteran left from the last
| years nine. Last year Coburn had
| one of the fastest prep school teams
in the State and this year with 40
| men out the largests quad that ever
reported for baseball, there ought to
| be another winning team. OF course
| most of the men will have to go so
that the coach can give his time to
| the real athletes but the chances are
pretty good that Coburn will put
| across a good team with some of the
men that she has got IL they live up
to their reputation.
Tuesday afternoon was too wet to
do any outside work, so Ginger held
skull practice in the gymnasium.
| There is no captain for the team yet
as there were not enough men left to
elect a captain, but one will be pick
| ed after one or two games have been
played and it is evident who are the
| leaders.
The FIRST game on the Coburn
schedule Is on April 90 when the nine
meets COlby's second string on Sew
| ems field. 1t is pretty early to tell
just how the men shape up but
Ginger said that a few of the men
were beginning to show up in their
respective positions. Libby field has
been little slow in drying out but
the manager is going to get out his
men and next week there will be
some real work For pitchers there
will be Bauman, who has been cap
tain OF the basketball team this sea-
son, Goodrich, and Brown, who has
played ball for Oakland High with
great success. On the other end of
! the battery Peters and Shanahan are
welding the big nit Peters comes
from Edward Little with q rep. On
number one sack. Rowe and Lipsill
are working for first honors, while
Goldberg and Simpson look good at
second. kilbride and Mahcr look
like the men who will play the short
is out for his old position at third,
but Whitfield is going to give him a
run for his money. Drummond,
Sweeney and Berg are guarding the
outfield and several other men are
working for these same positions.
The boys have received their new
| uniforms and will appear in them
just as soon as the weather clears up.
The schedule as made out by Man
ager Philip Rosenthal is as follows:

Major Duryea Suicides
Third Of Family to
Die a Violent Death

New York, April 1.-THE spectre
of violent death. which apparently
has been reientlessly tracking the
male line of the Duryea's. wealthy
New York society family, claimed it's
third victim with the suicide in San
Francisco today of Major Frank W..
Duryea.
The first was General Hiram Dur
yca--a white haired, picturesque fig
ure of a man who led the Zouaves in
the stirring days of the Civil war
and who on May 8. 1914, at the age
of 81, was shot down and killed by
his son, Chester. in his home in the
Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn.
Chester-who was alleged to have
fired the fatal shot after his father
had refused a demand for money
now is incarcerated in the Matteawan
insane asylum after sensational
trial.
The next Duryea TO fall was killed
by his own hand. He was Harry H.
Duryea, a brother of Chester and
Frank.
A man prominent in the financial
world he was found shot to death in
his Madison avenue Office on July q,
1921. His attorney declared that Mr.
Duryea. inheriting large fortune
from his father who had been presi-
dent and a founder of the National
Starch company had no financial
worries, although his sister, Mrs. E
o. Anderson had filed objections 10
his accounting of his fathers estate
His lawyer. however. declared that
these procc edings were entirely
friendly.
The widow and son OF Major
Frank Duryea who held a high posi-.
ton in the business and social life OF
the city, were stunned today when
dispatches from the coast told the
story of another suicide.
Mrs. Duryea received word of her
husbands death over the telephone
Although she said she was prepared
for bad news she dropped the re-
cciver with a gasp and tainted when
the blow came.
Wright Duryea hurried from his
brokers' Office on Broad street to his
mothers side on receiving the news
He declared he knew OF no reason
which would cause his father to take
his own life.

DEKES LEAD AS
MEET NEARS END

; The first part OF the finals Of the
| interfratelnity track meet at Colby
j were held Tuesday afternoon on Sea-
vern's field. The .track was heavy
| from the rain of the morning and the
events were rather slow and not much
enthusiasm was manifested by either
1.-The spectators or the contestants.
| This is the first time that a meet has
been held on the cinders this spring
as the one planned for just before
vacation was postponed on account of
q snow storm. The assistant manag-
crs of track have spent several after
moons rolling and brushing the track
so that it is good and smooth. The
Dekes won the most points taking
three firsts in the four events and one
third. The Zetes were second with
one first. a second and a third, while
the A. T. O's We're third with two
seconds and a third. The only other
scoring was done by the Lambda
CHS. Weis was the highest point
winner taking first in the hurdles
and third in the dash. In the 600
yard novice race McBay was the
surprise of the day. No one expected
him to do anything as he has not
been seen on the track before and
had never said that he was rum
ner. Today he came through and
won the race over Eustis and Hath
away, who have had experience in
the other meets this spring. The 35-
pound weight throw lost a great deal
Of interest owing to the fact that
Moose Cook was called home last
night by the serious illness of his
father and was not able to compete
First place went to Burckel who won
the shot put in the last meet and
gave everyone such surprise be
cause Cook has easily taken first
heretofore in all the weight events.
Everyone was looking forward to the
weight events because both men have
been working hard and it would have
been good fight.
The standing of the three leaders
now reads: Dekes 81. Zetes CO, and A.
mites are out of the race SO far. as
competition is concerned.
The summary:
50-yard dash--Hearon, DkE. first:
Brier, ALTO, second; Weise, DKE,
third.
60yard hurdles-We;se. DKE, first:
Schenl, ZIP, second; Soule ZIP. third.
6O0-yard novice race-Open to men
who have never participated in in
tercollegiate track: McBay, DKE.
first; Eustis, Alto, second: Hath
away. Ina, third.
5o-pound weight throw-Burkel,
~. nrst; Berry, Ina, second; Frude,
ALTO, third.

Hold First Signal
Practice at Colby

Baseball practice was held in the
Colby gymnasium Tuesday afternoon
because the clay on the; diamond was
somewhat sticky. The outfelders
were told not TO report and the in
fielders lined up on the gym floor
and had a little exercise throwing
grounders and passed balls. After a
little while Coach Parent gave the
men practice working out the signals.
This was the first signal practice and
some of the new men will have to do
some work to get in form for the
Maine game that comes a week from
today on Severn's field. Coach Par
cnt said that he did not want the
men to do anything but keep in
shape until the weather cleared up
and then they would have some stiff
practice on the field. The freshmen
have started their yearly task Of
moving the board track and that will
make the work Of the ficldcrs better.
