Rugged Battlers at
Portland Thursday

Portland. April t7.-The local fans
have seen Champion Joe Lynch In ac-
ton against n tough punching slngeer.
X. O. Joe O'DonnclI, and Thursday eve
ming they will watch him battle a
clever ring general and at the same
time hard hitter, in frankie DAILY, the
Staten Island. n. Y, ringster. Daily
will give Lynch an entirely different
type of battle than did the Gloucester.
y. j., scrapper, and yet by way Of va
iicty it should be just as interesting.
raly probably will hit Lynch more
times than ODonnell did, but he will
not get hit too much. for he is a past
master of the art of hit and get away.
When Daily won the newspaper YER
dict over Young Montreal at the Pine
Tree A. c. three years ago it was a
duel between two very clever ring gen.
erals and, to the surprise of many
fans, the then much-touted Providence
boxer was slightly outsmarted. An
other thing that helped DAILY win this
contest was the fact that his punches
lande>. with more steam than did Mont
reals.
The duel scheduled between Jack
Conley of this city and the Utah Kid Of
Bangor looms as a cave-man conflict.
The wind man from the Queen City is
working like Trojan to get into
shape, and the tall longshoreman may
be in for very busy evening. If
conley can keep cool, however. and
avoid the Sailors wild rushes for two
or three rounds, he may outlook him,
and has punch enough to drop the Utah.
With Young Cote of Lewiston pitted
against Cote the Third of Biddeford.
another Suggest is assured, and the
picture man of Biddeford will find a
very game batt1er in his namesake.

Bob" Messenger. former Pittsheld

way Of Messenger going through

Messenger was in Pittsfie1d and

to join the training squad at Nor

In other words. the future Of Mes

close of the Steel League he has
been endeavoring to pick up some
money in organized baseball, but
without success. After a short stay
in Pittsficld he left for Philadelphia.

Pittsburg win the first game OF the
season from Chicago 3 to 2. The
park, enlarged to twice it's seating
capacity during the winter was
opened shortly after noon and by
game time all seats had been sold
and the fans were standing three and
four deep back of the top row Of
seats.
The game itself was good exhibit

fourth inning, when GRIMM uncorked
a double to right with the bases filled,
and two men out. lie tried TO
stretch his, hit into a triple but was
retired at third. Aside from this one
inning the Pirates had no other OPP

COLBY BASEBALL
MEN FIGHT HARD
FOR SIX INNINGS
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Especial to Kennebec JournaD
Waterville. April 17.-Team A had
a tough job downing team B this
afternoon on Seaveren's field. The
weather was far from good for the
scheduled nine inning game so Coach
Freddy Parent called the game at the
end of the sixth round and sent the
men in.
Both teams played good ball. al
though there were several costly err
rors made on both sides. Team B
drew, the first blood in the second
round by scoring their lone counter
on a hit-and-run play that worked
to perfection Team A. came back
strong in the third and put two men
over the home plate before retiring.
The remainder Of the contest was
scoreless, although it did look as
though team A. would run away with
things in the last inning. Odom was
wild for team B. and after passing
Lampher, Peabody hit through Bald
win, and Odom filled the bases with
a free ticket to MCGOWAN. With
three on and one out. he pulled up
sharp and famed the next opposing
batters. Team A used Howard, and
Pratt in the box while team 3. relied
upon Muir and Odom. The hurlers
were anything but under control and
issued free passes in plenty.

C0NY CANDIDATES
FOOTBALL START
PRACTICE TODAY

Spring football practice for the Cony
boys will begin today. when squad
starts workouts at Capitol Park. 1t
was at first thought that there would
not he enough who were also out for
baseball to pay for tho effort this year,
but it was found that several of the
most promising men were not out for
baseball.
The work will be under the direction
of Murray Randall. who has played two
years on the varsity team and last year
was named by some sport writer's for
all-Maine schoolboy guard. 1t will be
continued until the weather gets too
warm for this sort of practice.
Some of the promising men out for
this practice are Cooper. Foster. Card
ner, McCauley. Yeaton. Hill and 9TH
ers. This spring training is expected
to prove we'll worth while next fall
when Coach Thompson has to pick
team from practically green material.

Sporting Tabl0ids

slated here for next week. Differ
ences arose between the club and
Levine which eliminated when Le-
vine left for Boston with the asser-
ton he was all through with the local
club. Levine is slated to appear
twice in and around Boston this
week. Buffers claims the New Au-
burn battler is using his Bay State
fights as an opportunity to escape
meeting the hard hitting Rice of
Portland. Anyway, the show is off,
and the cancellation probably rings
down the curtain on the ring game
until next fall.
John McGraW's announcement that
Bill Cunningham will play center
field for the Giants when facing
southpaws and that Jimmy O'Con-
nell will be used against right
handed pitching only, disguised as it
may be, is taken to mean that O'COn-
nell hasn't come up to expectations
and that as major league outfield-
err he is Dis yet no star. If O'Connell
finally takes to the bench, after hav-
ing been displayed for a brief period,
it will be the Yankees turn to laugh,
for the Giants bought O'COnnell just
to keep the IankS from getting him.
The Patriots Day exhibition games
between the Maine colleges, with
Bowdoin playing Bates and Univer-
sity of Maine tackling Colby, may
give a line on the championship
prospects, and they may not. Often
these preliminary games are COM
pletely reversed in the title series.
Lewis S. Crosby, who coached the
! Edward Little horsehide herd of
1921. which lost but one game in an
entire season, is directing the dia-
mond work of Rockland High this
year. Coach Crosby has prospects
for winning team but is having
trouble in finding a good backstop.
Track doposters seem to expect
that the Maine inter- collegiate mark
of 81 seconds for the 440 yard dash
will be busted when the title games
! take place at Orono on May Il. Ned
