SNAPPY GAMES
ON WATERv|LLE
BASEBALL DOCKET
ESPECIAL to Kennebec JournaD

Waterville. May 1.-THE baseball
card for the week includes some pretty
snappy games, both in and away from
Waterville. The schedules of Coburn
and Watcrvlle High school call for
two games each, and that Of Colby Col
lege gives the college nine another trip
out of the State.
Colby leaves Watcrville Monday aft
ernoon for a three-day trip to Massa-
chusctts. The first game of the series
is to be played Wednes day afternoon
when the Blue and Gray will cross
sticks with the fast travelling Massa-
chusetts Aggies in their home den.
The Aggies have strengthened great
deal in the last few games and will
give the invaders hot run for the
Gay. The Blue squad will then motor
across country to Springfield and there
face the Springfield College nine in the
second game. Friday morning Coach
Parent will trot his charges back to
little Amherst town to stack up
against the Amherst College nine in
the annual Junior prom game. Coach
Parent is out to capture this last game
of the series as the Amherst crowd
has been travelling a lively pace the
last couple of weeks.
The Coburn varsity team journies to
Eassalboro where they will try again
to overcome the Oak Grove lads The
first game between the two near rivals
resulted in no scores at the end of the
third inning when the rain began to
descend in torrents and the contest was
called off. Saturday the Haincs charges
will have a chance to wipe out the
singing defeat suffered at the hands
of Westbrook seminary ball tossers.
The downstate lads are scheduled to
cross bats with the local prepsters on
the Colby fields and good game is ex-
pected. Last Friday the Sem boys I'M
mercifully whipped the Maroon nine
on it's home grounds. but the Coburn
lads hope to stage a comeback Satur-
day. The Coburn seconds also have
two games scheduled. The Albion ag
gregation is to face the Maroon
leaguers here Wednesday and the local
youngsters will journey to Hinckley
on Saturday to play the Good Will
league team.
Waterville High and Lawrence come
together for their annual clash on
Wednesday afternoon. This never-to-
be-forgotten battle has resulted in a
victory for the Fairfield lads for the
past couple of years and the locals are
| out to cop the contest this spring. 1t
is expected that the game will be
played on the Colby field If it is pos
sible to secure it. as the crowds that
| usually attend the game more than
| tax any of the other fields in town.
| The Purple stickmen are going into
! the game with their eyes open for the
| high class offerings of the mighty
! Bragg. Saturday afternoon the local
! high school team will take the trip to
, Pittsfeld to face the ball tosscrs of
! the Maine Central Institute.
