Hundreds of schoolboys are prim-
ing for the annual Bates College in
terscholastic track and field meet
which will be held on Garcelon Field
Saturday afternoon. With the an
nouncement that Cony will come to
meet minus harrington, one of the
greatest track men in the history of
the school. Portland is practically
conceded the meet. Hebron is OK
pected to give the Blue no trouble
for but few men are entered. Both
local schools are entered for the
first time.
The formal opening OF the newly
arranged golf course at the Port
land Country Club was Wednesday
marked by two tournaments. The
first, was a mans handicap in the
morning, the first entrant teeing off
at nine o'clock, while the afternoon
attraction was mixed foursome.
A siX-lcasue Twilight League is
virtually assured for Portland this
summer, with three games being
played each week at Bayside Park.
At a preliminary meeting Tuesday
night it was decided that two rep
rescntatives of each organization in
the circuit would be present at a
get-togcther Monday, and various
matters, including the election of
officcrss for the league. the selection
of umpires, the agreement between
teams and the forming of bylaws
would be taken up.

Decision in Dundee
Bout Questioned by
N. Y. Boxing Experts

New York. May 31-New York's
boxing experts are in disagreement
today over the judges decision last
night which removed the junior
lightweight crown from the head of
Johnny Dundee and placed it on the
brow of Jack Bernstein of Yonkers,
after their slashing Is round con-

Half of the experts think Dundee
should either have retained his 100
pound championship or been award
ed nothing less than a draw, while
the others agree with the Judges
that Bernstein had seven rounds,
Dundee three anti that five were
even.

Always play the ball ten or fifteen
yards into the wind. as shown in the
diagram above. (The arrows indicate
the direction in which the wind is

it comes.) Playing a ball in this man
