STREET GIVES OUT SEVEN VETERANS
S. A. A. A. us 1923 AWAIT BASEBALL
SPORT OFFICIALS CALL AT HOWARD
Schedule of College Games
Being Prepared For
Bulldogs

Arrival of warmer weather Is ea-
gerly awaited at Howard college,
Bulldogs, inactive since the football
season, are growing restless as
baseball time approaches, and are
anxiously waiting the call to action
by Coach Harris Cope.
| Shortly after the middle of the
month, the Bulldogs will probably
begin training for the 1923 season.
! A schedule has not get been an
nounced, but games will more than
likely be played with Alabama, Bir-
mingham- Southern, local city league
teams, Marion. and other school
teams of this district. The big games
of course, will be the series with
the Owenton Panthers of Birming-
| ham Southern.
Loss of several veterans makes
baseball prospects at Howard seem
rather dim, but on the other hand
the outlook isn't as dull as it might
/ be, when It is considered that Ham
stephens. considered one of the best
/ pitchers in Dixie amateur baseball
/ is back with the Bulldogs, after a
great season in town ball last sum
mer.
stephens Ready to Pitch
The pitching staff is problematical,
with Stephens a certainty; Frog
! Bains, Oneonta star, on hand to try
his luck; Dan Gaylor of last years
staff ready to resume pitching duties
and some new material expected to
! turn out.
| Reliable old Boiler Maker" Afford
Will be on hand to do all the catching
that is necessary Afford caught for
the Bulldogs two years ago, but was
utility man in 1922. He had a great
season with the amateur town teams,
hitting II home runs during an alb
breviated season. Il. b. Cox will try
conclusions with Afford, and, if good
enough. will force Boiler Maker
to an outfield berth. Afford isn't the
best catcher in the world, the Bull
| dogs say, but he is a mighty nifty
ball player and his hitting prowess
makes him a valuable man to the
team.
Infield Unsettled
The infield prospects are unsettled
with prospective candidates lining up
as follows: First base. Gaylord. Lee
and e. B. Cox; second base. Gene
| Dawson. Russell Tinkelpaugh, third
base. 30 Brindley; shortstop. Jess
Lackey, Fred White. Gaylord and
Lackey are the only letter men in
this bunch. so the infield situation
might be said to be problematical.
! Two veteran outfielders have re-
turned, Shelton and Runyon. ANN
number of men might be shifted tc
| the gardens, among them being AL.
ford, Gaylord. Brindley and Cox.
Of-the bunch of prospective candi-
dates, seven are veterans of previous
baseball machines at Howard, and
the outlook is not so very dull after
all, as first call for practice is
awaited at Berry field.
OF course, the usual bunch of foot
ball huskies will be on hand to try
their luck at touchdowns on the dia
mond during the coming season. II
might be Interesting to add that. OF
the seven veteran baseball PLAYERS
who have returned, six made letters
in football during 1922.

You may appreciate this when 1T
is recalled that in one season Math-
ewsen and McGinnity won something
like seventy-five games between
them. That in itself would win a

win, two reliable pitchers like that

Confidence In Pitchers
Any time that either Matty or Me-

was a feeling of security on the
bench. We knew that we had the
best hand to start with. The other
players immediately took on spirit
of confidence and played just that
way. They recognized the preba-

While L regard Mathewson as the

that-don't get the impression that
McGinnity was not a star of the first

WOrkmen Find
Snow While Digging

The Journal representative had the
privilege of viewing one of the rar-
est sights ever witnessed in the city
of Waterville yesterday morning
when John II. Burleigh called the re-
porter into his office. Mr.. Burleigh
lifted big pasteboard box out of a
corner beside his desk and opened
the cover. There lay a big chunk of
soft white snow as healthy and con-
tented as though it were the dead of
winter instead of August 81. Mr.,
Burleigh remarked that he thought
it might interest a lot of people to
know that less than a mile away
from Main street workmen are I'M
earthing shovelfuls Of snow every
dav
The secret Of the whole thing is
this. Mr. Burleigh is the civil en-
gineer on the Segar Brook sewer
project in Winslow. The workmen
are busy at the present time filling
in and for filler they are using ashes
from a pile near the Hollingsworth
and Whitney mills. AS they dig
down deep they find thick layers of
snow that have lain there undis-
turbed all summer by the intense
heat. The workmen at the mill would
throw out their ashes once day
and sometimes a big snow storm
would come in between.
Mr.. Rurleigh remarked that after
viewing a few of those snow banks
one could not feel that winter was
very far behind after ALL

the opinion Of the judges and of the

The Sorosis farms exhibited three
breeds of sheep, the Hampshires,
Shropshires and Cheviots. Ribbons
We're awarded to every sheep on exhi-
bition by these farms. The Hamp-
shires all blue and red ribbons. The
Shropshires received all blue ribbons
except two that received third prizes.
Inc Cheviots were all blue ribbon
sheep except one, and that one was
awarded second prize.
The Sorosis farms are among the
largest in New England. They are To-
Gated at Marblehead. Mass, within 40
minutes ride of Boston The farms
are so large that they might be called
a plantation or ranch if situated in
the south or west.
The sheep department at Sorosis
farms is founded upon the finest blood
ever brought to this country. Here
are found Hampshires, Cheyiots. Dor
set Horns and Southdowns. all Of full

Condor Giant Among Birds

Naturaiists have determined that
the California condor exceeds in size
it's cousin, the condor of the Andes
OF South America, and is larger than
the giant or wandering albatross
which travels the ocean lanes of the
Pacific, south of the equator. The
extreme wing eXpanse of the Cali
fornia condor is close to twelve feet.
Through careful measurements, the
naturalist learned that the condor
of the southern countries is smaller
in all respects.
One of these largest birds that fly
is on exhibition in the Natural His
tory museum at San Diego, Cal. Be-
side the condor, the turkey buzzard,
smaller relative, appears to be a
dwarf. Both birds are carrion eat
ers, a fact which has contributed
substantially to the near extinction
of the CONDOR Naturalists of earlier
years record that the condor was
once fairly common in California.
Ranchers and settlers have been
indirectly responsible for the killing
of many condors through the plac-
ing of poisoned meat intended for
consumption by coyotes, bobcats and
panthers. Large numbers have also
been wantonly killed through the in
discriminate use of firearms.

The life-size replica of Ivan, cast
in bronze, will be unveiled during the
commencement exercises in June.

lucky in their choice Of a totem.
Princeton has long been known as
the tigers lair. New Haven as the
bulldogs kennel and Bowdoin has
adopted for itself the polar bear. in
honor of Admiral Peary, it's most
famous graduate. But the brown
bear of North America is typically
American. and one of the noblest Of
animals. Mr.. Keen explained. He
stands for strength, fighting qualities
and endurance.
One authority describes the species
thus: 1T should be cause of national
pride that the brown bear has twice
the weight of the average lion and Is
much more powerful. Moreover. as
should be expected of an American
beast. he is of superior intelligence. A
well-grown one on all fours is about
eight feet long; standing erect he Is
about nine feet high"
