CONY TO CLASH
WITH LYNN TEAM
AUGUSTA, June IS

The Lynn High baseball team will
play Cony High in Augusta in June.
probably the 18th. This made certain
yesterday by receipt of word. from
Lynn. The Lynlf Item in comment
ing on the proposed game says:
Coach George Sexton yesterday
definitely agreed to have English
High baseball team play Cony High
at Augusta. Me, in June. After
weeks of INDIGESTION, the English High
mentor finally decided in favor Of
having the lads make the trip to the
Maine Capital, probably on June 16.
According to reports from Maine
Coach Clinton K. Thompson and
Principal Clarence 2. Quimby Of the
Augusta school have written several
| letters to English High and no dcfin-
ite acceptance had ben made. The
sporting editor of the Item placed the
matter up to Coach Sexton yesterday
for a Yes or No" answer. 1t was
pointed out to Coach Sexton by the
Item man that English should treat
fairly with the Augusta school in that
Augusta had lost more than $3.50 last
year and should be given an oppor-
tInlty to retrieve their loss. In adj
dItlon, 1t was pointed out to the coach
that Cony High had a good team, had
been undefeatcd up-to-date this sea-
son and would probably be the cham
pions of Maine again.
When it was placed up to Coach
Sexton and he was informed that the
matter would be called to the atten-
ton Of Mayor Harland \. Mcphctrcs
and the Lynn business men who
financed the Augusta teams trip here
last year, Coach Sexton could not
hedge and finally agreed. lie as
sured the sporting editor that the ac-
ceptance would be made at once.
Mayor Harland a. McPhetrc
agreed that the only fair thing for
English to do was to give Cony Ii-h
a return game. He assured the Hcm
that he would make every effort to
have the English team go to Angus
to in June.
Coach Frederic R. Willard of Eng
iish stated that he believed i'll the
game from a sporting viewpoint"
and that he was pleased that Coach
Sexton had agreed to play. Faculty
Manager Thomas Il. Griffin Of the
school also favored the game.
Unless Coach Sexton changes his
attitude, the game will be played on
Saturday, June is. at Augusta The
Lynn coach stated that this date may
he changed as the first duty of Eng
llsn High was to play its schedule in
the North Shore League.
The decision made by .,', Sex
ton yesterday assures the English
High baseball players Of trip to Au-
Susta. Unless something unforeseen
occurs. English should win the cham
pionship of the North Shore league
and the game at Augusta providing
Cony High continues its winning
form, should again involve the New
England scholastic baseball cham
pionship.

The Kennebec Journal reporter
was permitted to look in on the final
rehearsal of Brian NJ. Jewett's

,, in city hall this evening by the Au-
gusta Girls Community Club. He
was surprised last evening by the
magnitude and splendor of the pro-
duction. There have been cabarets
staged in Augusta before, but the
reporter believes that without en-
ccption this is the greatest entertain
inent of its kind ever to be produced
in Augusta.
AT the dress rehearsal last eve
ming. everything was run off with
the most eXacting precision. The
girls who appear in the chorus and
group members showed the result
of long and careful drilling,-they
performed last night like the best of
well regulated and trained dancing
choruses. From his observation of
the solo numbers, the reporter does
rot hesitate to predict that there
