Watcrville, May 10.-Thc Colby
baseball team will clash with Bow
! dom tor Colbys nrst State series
! game, on Seavern's field this after
| noon at three o'clock.
Colby has played six games this
! year and has Won only one. Whether
! the team has prOtited enough by
| defeat TO 80 out and win this game
! remains to be seen. The Bowdoin
team has played ten games this
J year and its record has been tar bet
! ter than Colby's. Bowdoin came
! near beating Harvard nine lays after
| Harvard gave Colby a terrible wal
! lCping.
The Colby team has been out for
| two days since they came back from
! the trip Saturday. A practice game
was played Monday afternoon and
the second team gave the first a
good run and came out on top in the
scoring.
Yesterday afternoon the final
practice was held before the biz
game and five innings were played
i'll another practice game. This game
was much better for the first string
and they came out on top by quite
a margin.
For today, Lanpher will be be-
hind the plate as usual. This is the
third season at that position and he
has been in every varsity game
during that time.
Porter will start the game in the
box, but Johnny Howard will get in
all right if they start knocking Por-
ter. Howard has been ineligible SO
far this season but got out of diff
1culty before the last trip. He is
about the best man Colby can put
on the mound his year and although
he has not been seen in action so far
he is expected to come through to-
morrow.
On the first corner Red Callaghan
will be stationed. He started the
season as a southpaw. and pitched
some pretty good ball, but he has
found the right place on the first
sack and will be a permanent fixture
there for the rest of the season.
Fransen has been shifted from the
fast game in the short field. He is
taking the place of Niles who played
that position in all the games so far
but who is having difficulties in his
studies at the present time and will
be unable to compete for quite
while.
Nichols is on the reid again after
being off on account Of sickness all
during the first OF the season.
Nichols was out for a few days
during the first two weeks OF prac-
tice and he looked good for the in
field. Now he is out for second and
will play that position in the Bow
doin game this afternoon. Haines is
still in the left garden where he has
been a fixture so far this season
Haines is a new man this year but
he is showing up as enc of the
strongest hitters on the team. Royal
will play the third sack. He has
played that position in every game so
far and has looked good. He is ex-
pected to swing the stick in good
shape for Colby today.
Captain Williams is guarding cen
ter field as he has done all the sea-
son. He has been playing a good
steady game this season and his bat
ting average is high. Art Sullivan
will probably start the game in the
right field. Sullivan has been on the
team for three years and two years
ago he played varsity third base, last
year he played some in right field. |
The Colby team is not very con-
fident of winning toda ybut they are
going after victory and they at !
least expect to hold the score down.
