Of Maine colleges will compete in

Bowdoin has a good showing in
nearly every event on the pro-
gram, the general opinion being that
she will easily cop first place. Bates
has a strong team, being especially
well backed in the running events
and looking like good opponent for
Maine should BOwdoin take first. Re-
ports from Colby say that although
the tracl:sters will put in their best

Pitcher, Chicago Cubs, leading pitch

Of IL years. He has pitched 80 shut

George Stallings used to say, "the

all games are lost by bases on balls.
There should be a mighty good rea-

rule is-the fewer bases on balls the
better.

Up 18th Street; Back
to Willard, "Cal's"
Words On Ride.

"Silent CAL" they call the
new President, and many stories
are told to bear out this cogno-
men.
This is but another of the
many stories, but perhaps it
demonstrates more wildly than
any of the rest the appropriate
ness of the "silent" appella-
ton.
The President and Mrs. Cool
idge and Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
w. Stearns started out for an
auto ride.
"Where shall we go?" the
President was asked by the
secret service man riding in the
front seat of the Executive
automobile.
Cup Fourteenth street." was
the terse reply.
The car went up Fourteenth
street to it's very end-four
miles; it came back down Six
teenth street. Not another word
was spoken by the new Presi-
dent either to the driver, the
secret service operative, or the
occupants of the car. The down.
town section was again reached,
and the driver started for the
Speedway-a drive along the
Potomac river.
"Back to the Willard" the
President suddenly said.
One hour and thirty minutes
had elapsed since the drive
started. The President had
three companions with him. Yet
in all that time the only words
which passed his lips-and both
addressed to the occupants of
the front seat-had been: cup
Fourteenth street" and "Back
