the wind averaged seventy-two miles

when the wind velocity touched

was at this point, it is believed, that

The storm followed a day of in
tense heat and was sudden as it was
violent. Low-hanging clouds across
the Hudson were observed. but they
seemed to be far away and danger
was unforeseen. Then, like magic,
the western heavens took on a sin
lister aspect, inky clouds seemed to
dip toward the earth and before the
frightened people exposed to the
elements could reach places of safety
the wind came.
Clason's Point, pleasure ground
near City Island, was in the direct
path Of the hurricane. A ferris
wheel, heavily freighted with chill
dren and young people, had just be-
gun to revolve with it's passengers,
when the wind struck it. So sudden
was the storm that the men in
charge of the wheel could not stop
it and discharge the passengers be-
fore the top of the wheel was torn
away and the remainder crashed to
the ground, a tangled skein of steel.
Dozens were buried in the wreck

out and more than two score were
attended by ambulance surgeons.

No Decision Yet on
Colby Grid Mentor
lSnecial to Kennebec JournaO


Waterville, June 2-The Colby
Athletic Council had a lengthy ses-
sion Thursday evening to decide who
will be coach of the Colby football
team next fall. There have been
several candidates under discussion
but as yet no one has been chosen
for that Office.
It was thought by every one until
late in the year that Jack McAuliffe
was to return once more but Jack
changed his mind and went to Dart
mouth where he once played on the
varsity.
The year is nearing close and the
Athletic council cannot meet many
more times. The time is drawing
near when decision must be made
but as yet the council is not ready to
render the verdict to the impatient
student body. Roger Green. a for
ner coach of Colby. and very sue
cessful one. has been under consider
alton. Win Snow. a former Dart
mouth star, is the other most likely
candidate.

Brunswick, Me, June 2-"Fat"
Hill of Augusta was tie especial
star of the annual baseball game be-
tween Bowdoin and Bates today. He
undoubtedly saved the day for the
White by his four catches in success
sion in the seventh and eighth inn
ings. and these were some catches.
AT the opening of the seventh
Bowdoin had a lead of 4 to 0. In
that inning Moulton led off for
Bates with a single to center field.
Dlmlick was hit by pitched ball
and McLain followed with a single
over third base. Spiller was out on
a foul fly. With the bases full Jor
dan drove a long fly to left field.
Hill was under tie ball and retired
the batter, Moulton however being
able to reach home before the throw.
henney then came to bat in place of
Rowe and came through with what
looked as though it might be one of
the longest drives of the game. Hill
started on the run toward the center
field fence. The crowd in the grand
stand jumped to their feet and be-
gan to cheer. Hill gave a mighty
leap up into the air and sidewise and
the cheers which followed were the
loudest and heartiest of the game
for the Augusta player had with one
hand caught the ball and prevented
what would have been at least a
three base hit, if not 4 home run.
In the eighth inning. Hill caught
flies pounded out to his garden by
Coogan and Daker. the first two men
to come to bat Then Kennedy drew
a pass, went to third on Moulton's
single and scored on the error made
by Davis in fielding Dimlick's
grounder. That stopped the scoring
for Bates.
Bowdoin began scoring in the
fourth inning when Needleman led
off with a triple. Smith went out on
a foul and Morrell took first when he
was hit by a pitched ball. After Hill
had flied out Needleman and Morrell
pulled a pretty double steal and the
first run of the game was scored.
Morrell stole third a minute later
and scored as the Bates infield began
throwing the ball around in a vain
attempt to catch either Morrell or
Finn. who had reached first on a
base on balls. and who started the
fun when he attempted to steal sec
ond.
In the fifth Bowdoin scored after
Jones drew a pass and stole second.
