In the match between the c. NJ. F.
Co. and the Clerks at the Augusta
"Y' alleys Wednesday evening,
Thompson was high three strings for
the c. NJ. P's with 300. 1t happens
that this Thompson is Miss Lucy
Thompson. She was also tied for
high single string for her team with
102. Blair chalking up the same
score. TOMMY" as she is called b.
her team mates is a consistent bowl
err, and it goes without saying that
her opponents fear and respect ner
proves on the alleys.
Eddie Shevln' through his mana
ger. Billy Henderson. challenged the
new welterweight champion, Mickey
Walker. at the conclusion OF the
fight at the Garden in New York,
Wednesday night.
The "bi- three" of the East. came
out of their scraps of last Saturday,
all in good condition. 1t looks as il
the corning struggle between Har-
ward. Yale and Princeton is gong

1t is timely to recall that Yale
beat Princeton last ycar Ut
Princeton beat Harvard 10-3, then
Harvard staged the old come back
and beat Yale by the same score that
Harvard was beaten by the Tigers.
Which ali goes to provoke the re-
mark! that you never can tell.

tests are exceedingly popular in
/ Maine high school circles this seas

ers from Berlin. n. H., at Lewiston.
The Granite Staters took a whipping
at the hands of Rumford carrier III

fine record Of the Skowhcgan nigh
I school football team this fa!l. MI
Smiley takes occasion to criticize the
; Sporting Editor for allowing him-
| self. las an individual rather than as
, impartial Judge, to express OPINION
THAT Cony and South Portland are
! the logical contenderc for the cham
pionshir."
] The Sporting Editor. without pre-
, suming to be infallible. reserves the
prerocative to express his opinion on
such matters, fully cognizant OF the
fact that there will be many bound
to differ, which is their privilege
However the particular item Mr..
Smiley has reference to was not the
opinion of the Sporting Editor, but
the expression of local fans and CIV
en- for what it was worth. Inc item
said: Many fans are Of the opinion
that the logical contcnders are -he
Capitol City lads and the south
Portland outfit"
j Mr.. Smiley after referring TO TINS
fine record Of Skowhegan mgr
school. with which we agree, asks
that we Judge as to which is the bet

splendid record this fall but 1t is tht
Sporting Editors belief that if ConA
