heard on the street the past two days.
The big majority of local sports
have seen both boys in action and con-
fidently look to a heated argument.
Neither lad has any penchant for pink
tea tactics. Neither are they of the
Marathon type. Frinstance, Joe is
quoted as saying that while he is not
discounting the ability of the Biddeford
boy, he is confident that he will beat
him inside the double six route, and
to do this expects to swap punches on
occasion.
Dumont is right there when 1t comes
10 milling. His supporters have their
hopes OF a win on his aggressiveness
and ability to absorb punishment. With
such confidence and determination
gripping both boys it sure does look
like some terrific encounter.
The semi-final between Chick Wills

That the Democrats will be per-

cause they believe their requests for

Much of the work of organizing

LaFollette supporters in the House.

The balance of power in the two
Houses of Congress is in the hands of
the progressives. We are not opposed

will agree to our program.
There will be no election of speak

We know that we will have the sup

While we look upon Speaker Gill

as a fair and courteous presiding of

The Community Service also had
ideas of starting Waterville on the
right road to success in regard to a
collection Of ball tossers that could
hold their own with the Pine Tree

Lawrence Striley, golf pro at the
local country club, and director Of the
Community Service league. stated that
he was highly in favor Of seeing this
city represented in the league, but as
yet he could see no way Of signing
up" Mr.. Striley's plan was to start
twilight league with the leading mills
and business plants entered. the league
to get under way early this spring. At
the termination Of the league an all
star outfit would be selected and If the
talent was not powerful enough to COM
bat other State teams outsiders would
be brought here to strengthen the out
fit. The Waterville team, as proposed
by Mr.. Striley, would be ready to take
the field this summer. However. moth
ing has been started in regard to this
plan and the outcome Of Waterville's
baseball hopes is still much in the
dark.
Waterville wants a baseball team.
