BASEBALL ALL DAY Today
AT WILLIAMS FIELD WITH BEST
TEAMS IN STATE COMPETING

Fans from all parts of the State
arrived in Augusta last night and
more will arrive this morning in
time for the opening game Of the
big baseball tournament in which
the cream Of Maine baseball will
clash for honors and big cash
prizes. With these visitors augment
ing an extraordinary turnout of To-
cal lovers of the game, williams
field will be crowded to see the three
games.
The first game is scheduled to
start at 1920 in the morning be-
tween the Star Taxis of Lewiston
and the Easterns of Brewer. This
should prove a red hot affair as the
teams are evenly matched and Mon
day played to a A tie called on &C
count Of darkness.
At 2 p. NJ. the Millionaires will
clash with the Twin Towns of Nor
way and this will be another battle
for blood as the winner of this
game will meet the morning victors
in the final game of the day at 4
P. NJ. for the honors Of the tourney
and the big end of the purse.
The best baseball talent in the
state will be seen in these three
games. Former big leaguers, minor
leaguers and college stars of this
and recent years. All Of the teams
have recently strengthened with the
tournament in view and the rivalry
is bound to be keen.
The day will go down in the his
tory of the city as one of the biggest
and cleanest days of real fun ever
mad in summer month. All roads
will lead to Ruel Williams Field to-
day and the Traffic Officers on the
Main street corners will get exercise
equal to that of good gymnasium
training. The more honks from
speeding autos bound across the
bridge to the game, the better we'll
all like 1t, and that the roads lead
ing into Augusta will be busy TODAY
with traffic goes without saying.
Millionaires might be well at this
time. They are the fastest bunch of
ball tossers in the State of Maine
today. their record of twenty wins
out OF the last twenty-one games is
sufficient evidence of their ability.
