BOWdOin Matched
with Augusta on
Club Courts Today

The real tennis fans OF the city
are expected to gather at the Au-
gusta Country club courts at . o'clock
this afternoon to see the Club
Racqueters match skill with the
Bowdoin college tennis team.
The final selections for the Augusta
teams were made yesterday. There
will be two teams of doubles. Team
One will consist of Burleigh Mar
tin and Sam Titcomb, while Leigh
F1ynt and Bill Johnson will pair on
Team Two. Smith Dunnack and
Leigh Flynt will represent the club
in singles.
The Augusta club has a strong
combination in the teams that will
face the White over the net today
and should be the winners. Bow
dom has a good team, but is not so
strong as it has been in past years.
Captain George Partridge of Au-
gusta is probably the strongest
player on the Brunswick outfit, and
should give his opponents good bat
tie in both doubles and singles.

C0NY HAS ANOTHER BATTLE ON
HER HANDS AGAINST LEWISTON
HIGH At CAPITAL PARK TODAY

Coming close on the heels Of the
Portland battle. Cony High faces an
other stiff contest this afternoon at 3
O'Clock on the Capitol Park diamond
where they are pitted against Lewiston
Eigh.
The Lewiston team will Journey to
the capital stronger than il has been
at all this season. for Baker. third
baseman. and Diehl, catcher. who have
been suffering from injuries will be
ready for the lineup.
The Lewiston coach pins his hopes
in the box to Jordan, the little twirler
who did such fine work against Morse
High Of Bath Payne and Giguere
will also accompany the team as re-
lief pitchers. 1t was undecided last
evening whether Lafond or Diehl
would catch the game, but one or the
other will start behind the home plate.
The infield will consist of Russell,
Wiseman, Callahan and Barker, with
Roche. HarkinS and Green in the outer
gardens. Coach Butler of Lewiston
will probably bring over squad Of 16
men.
lLeWlSto1l ScHeTdlly has SlTOHS
nine, and this years outfit bids fair to
live up to its predecessors from all
appearance. The decisive trimming
which they handed Morse cannot be
taken as an index OF their real
strength. for they did not have the
keen competition necessary to bring
out the best in each man.
Don Brennan will start on the Cony
mound. andthe Red and White expect
much from him after his splendid
showing in the Portland game. Don
took the count, of 10 Forest City lads
last Saturday and his stickwork was
present when hits were needed.
Capt Bill Ellis of Cony has changed
| his batting order for the game today.
Jack Stafford will lead off, Allison will
step to the plate in second place,
Frank Harrington third, and Soup
Austin will strive for cleanup honqrs.
The Cony catcher missed 1000 $per
cent. against Portland at his lastftime
at bat when he reached first on 4 mis-
cue by an opposing fielder. The bal
ance OF the team will step to the rub
Der in the following order: Brennan,

Fire Calls on Tuesday

The Augusta fire department was
called out by two box alarms Tues
day morning, but in neither case did
the fire prove of any consequence or
cause any damage. The first call
was at about 6 o'clock from Box 81
for chimney fire at the home of
Bert Ellis on Powhattan street. The
fire was quickly eXtinguished. The
second call was at about go from
Box SO. The cause of the alarm was
a smoky kitchen range at the Elks'
club home on Winthrop street. which
gave the appearance as though the
building was on fire. Smoke coming
out of the windows had doubtless
been the cause of sonnet body pulling
in the alarm. The fire was confined
to the stove, however, SO that no
damage was possible.

The ladies' are on duty Tuesday aft
ernoon to receive applications from
those needing help which is given
gratis. This is another sign of pro-
gress in our community and We con-
graduate those who are working for
it's success"
The Augusta male chorus, the SYM
phony orchestra and the Radio club
are discussed in the following para
graphs:
in order to meet the requirements
of the occasion (the Grant centenary
observance) a male chorus was form
ed for the purpose of singing Civil
War songs. II. H. Hall directed the
chorus. which came toge her for prac-
tice regularly in spite of the lateness
of the season. 1t takes an effort to
attend rehearsals when the call OF the
out-of-doors is urgent. We therefore
congratulate the chorus beth as 10
their performance and as to their sac
rifice of time and>energy in the inter-
ests of the community.
Augusta is to be congratulated on
her leadership in community music.
One of the planks in our program is
music promotion and. while we played
no part in the formation OF this or
chestra and deserve no credit for its
splendid work. we can heartily endorse
the effort and praise the leader and
his players. Fifteen hundred people
heard the last rehearsal and everyone
was delighted.
Under the joint auspices OF the
Chamberof Commerce and the Augusta
Y. NJ. c. A. a group of Augusta young
men was formed into a radio club re-
Gently. The new club made a contract
with the Maine Masque to gne play
and dance in Augusta from which
little over $50 was realized. which Is
nice little nest egg for the club
treasury. This project originated
with Frank Condor. who is a member
of the Chamber of Commerce. and the
major portion of the credit belongs to
him. The proposition has civic
value, however, as interest I'm radio is
gaining momentum every day

Balloons to Race

Milwaukee, Wis, May 2-COntest-
ants in the National Balloon Race,
which is scheduled to take place here
May 80 and 81, may encounter "al-
most any kind of weather" according
to spokesman of the Aero Club of
America. Milwaukee lies directly in
the path of most of the cyclonic
storms which sweep across the coun-
try, and the date selected is near the
dividing line between spring and
summer conditions, it was pointed
out.
This fact, even when combined
with the hazards imposed by the
proximity of large bodies of water
and of the Canadian wilderness, ap-
parently failed to discourage balloon
lists, judging from the number af en-
tries. +. A. Vaughn, president of the
Aero Club of Wisconsin, said twelve
to fourteen were expected to take
part in the race. The size of the
starting field is said to prohibit en-
trance by an appreciably larger num-
Der. The prizes will amount to
$4,000.
In addition to the prizes, 500 will
be paid toward the expenses of each
contestant who actually starts. The
Aero Club of America has appor-
toned the awards as follows: First,
$1,000; second, $500; third, 5000;
