Of eight successive defeats beartne

meet Bowdoin Friday afternoon in
the first game Of the state series that
has been booked for Garcelon field
Peanut Hamilton will go to the slab
for the Garnet in an effort TO throw

Bates to ad a victory to its win

Local fans who have been antici-

the trouble for the first time since
its losing streak began on April %
against Harvard when the Lewiston
collegians match bats with Bowdoin
Friday afternoon. The last appear
ance of Bates on Garcelon field in
the opening game saw a nine with
great possibilities for the state flag
and also a team that could make
trouble for the best teams that 1t
faced out of the state. The followers
are in hopes that the second showing
of the nine at home will recover
some Of the punch that brough the
fist victory and with Hamilton going
right Bates ought to shake the con-
slant losing streak.

wet condition Of the diamond caused
by the hard afternoon shower. How

After the whipping that Cuddy

against about the toughest rival OF
the season. After Colby and Bow

Waterville. May 1.-the waterville
High school track team will run its
first dual meet of many years Satur-
day morning when they race tho Cony
team. 1t has been many years since
the local high school has been repre-
sented on the cinders and the school is
in hopes that they will come through
In their first race.
The team as yet has had no real com.
petition. There was to have been an
interclass meet held last week. but a
track could not be gotten. That is an
other handicap for the team. They
have to practice on the small athletic
field with the baseball team. The dis
lance men have had to run around q
small square which includes hill. .
The entry list is as follows. It is
expected that many changes will be
made before the real race starts.
1O0-yard dash: Tardin. Lessor,
Sweeney.
220-yard dash: Robichaud, Webster,
Fitch. Boudreau, Letourneau.
Mile run: Lawton. Wiltshire. Towne.
Half mile run: Bernard, Murray,
Pomeleau. Knauff.
quarter mile run: Letourneau, Mi
chaud, Quinton, McLeary.
Running broad jump: Donovan, Shaw,
McLeary.
High jump: Webster Trainor, DON
ma, Donovan.
Shotput: Hurd. Sanborn.
Principal Mathews and Sussman of
the faculty have been acting as coach.
Although most of the men are green
at the game, these coaches believe that
much can be had from the men.
The baseball team was given a hard
practice game by Coach Hendricks in
preparation for the Skowhegan game
Saturday. The latter team has not
met a defeat this year and they have
played some fast teams. Coach Hen
bricks believes that his charges will
give them their first black spot when
s<hey meet Saturday. The team has i'm
proved greatly since the first two
games OF the yeaE They have defeat.

two starts. Captain Trainor will start
In the box for the local team. He has
plenty OF stuff on the pill. In the
games he has pitched this year he has
sent many back 20 the bench without
even touching the bail. The boys have
all fattened their batting averages in
these games. also.
While the baseball team is playing
at Skowhegan trying to pin defeat on
that school. the tennis team Of Water
Vile will meet the Skowhegan boys at
Waterviile. They have their mind made
up to send the Somerset team back
home with q defeat. The conditions
existing between the two baseball
teams are just opposite in the tennis
combat as the Watervilis team is the
undefeated team Of the two.
In view of these facts the athletic
program at the high school viii be the
hardest the teams have had to face
Tor some time. Every student will see
one OF these games and at the same
time hope that the other team 10 win.

ISsTHE 1924 APPROPRIATION BILLA
WISE ONE OR NOT? ISSUES DISCUSSED
At PUBLIC MEETING AT HIGH SCHOOL

Issues involved in the appropria-
lion bill Of 1924 as passed by the
Council were discussed at a public
meeting held In the Gardiner High
School auditorium last evening by
representatives Of both sides. Mayor
j. b. McNaughton presided, and
Aldermen Trafton. Goodspeed. Ames-
bury and Blaisdell were seated upon
the platform. Mayor ,McNaughton
was the first speaker. and explained
the purposes of the meeting. saying
zens present, he wished that there
might have been more presently to
hear the arguments. He declared
that the City Council were not con-
sider!ng policies that would get them
votes for next year. he said that they
had tried to arrive at a. decision that
would be best for all OF the people.
They had spent considerable time on
the questions. and had nor trusted
their own judgement but had con-
suited experts, and knew what they
were doing.
Mayor McNaughton then went
over various items in the appropria-
ton bill. comparing them with those
OF previous administrations. He
pointed out the necessity OF various
increases. and how the extra money
would be utilized. He again declar-
was not included in the bill, and said
that they had planned to put all OF
the ~ miles Of roads and streets in
the city in passable shape. Mayor
McNaughton said that the critics
have not been fair. that they had
given destructive criticism instead Of
constructive. He thought that the
people of Gardiner would be fair, and
expressed tho wish that. there we're
more people present. whether for or
against the bill. He said that the
matter Of paving Water Street had
been taken up with competent en-
gineers. and that the City Govern
ment knew what they were doing.
Insthe opinion of the Mayor the ref
erendum is a good thing when used
with discretion, but when called for
without due deliberation 1t IL a dan
gefous thing. He showed that It
might be possible to continue to hold
things back by calling for a refer
enpum for the new appropriation bill
IL it became necessary to make one.
Alderman +. l.. Goodspeed was then
introduced by the Mayor. Mr.. Good
speed, said that the Mayor had care
fully covered most OF the items, and
went on to point out that no prog
ress In building had made In Gar
diner unless that was some oppose
ti0n, and persons saying II could
not be done. giving as examples, the
new High School building. and the
Shrine Club building.
He said that at the time these
were proposed there were. certain
persons who showed the same spirit
of Fconservatism. and opposition that
certain ones were showing at the
present occasion. He also cited the

Vigue Before Lord

Octave Vigue was before Trial
Justice Thomas G. Lord Thursday af-
ternoon to answer to a charge OF
malicious intent in tearing down a
fence. The story of the case Is that
Fred Freve a few weeks ago pur-
chased a house lot ON the State road
to Waterville which Joined land of
said Vigue. Mr.. Freve built fence
between his land and Mr.. Vigue's,
and according to testimony it was
stated that Vigue had said that if
Freve built the fence he would tear
1t down. When Vigue plowed his
garden he drove so near the fence
that the whiffietrees caught in the
wire and demolished the fence. Sew
eral witnesses were heard on both
sides of the case. Freye was rep
resented by Attorney Sherman n.
and Vigue by Attorney j.
Phillips. Justice Lord found Vigue
guilty and fined him $40 and costs
which was about 81. Vigue appeal
ed to the supreme court.

instance of the proposed new shoe
factory, and declared that in bis
opinion the city would grow If things
continued as they are now. The
matter of discussion>should be 'Ts the
1924 appropriation bill, a wise bill or
not?~
In regard to the street lighting
proposition he maintained that as be-
fore declared the question was not in
the bill, and he thought that at the
present time the new street lights
would be luxury instead OF a neces-
sity, and that 1t was an entirely diff
ferent proposition from paving Water
street. and that public sentiment was
against 1t, It would not be good bust
ness to advertise the exact cost of paw
ing Water street, but he assured the
audience that it was within the reach
Of the appropriation bill. Water street
had been declared a State aid road
through the efforts Of the new city
government, and he here referred to the
"five times act" He said that if for
any reason the proposition could not be
put through the money would be saved,
as the city council had appropriated
money for this purpose several years
ago. The details OF the construction
Of the street might be ascertained by
talking with Street Commissioner B. F..
Jose.
In regard to the argument put up by
the opposition in regard to the con-
slant taking UP of the road for the re-
pair Of pipes, he asked why they had
not advanced that argument before, in
stead of waiting until after the bill
had been passed by the council. The
Gardiner Water District had agreed to
rNVrk tn sniyN To- e.
20 years. and he pointed out that there
was law to make anyone VIII otore up
the street for any reason put it back
in the same shape that it was in. 1t
would make more business, as II is a
well knows fact that the price Of COM
modities is regulated by the supply and
demand.
Hon. G.. w. Heselton was present for
the opposition and asked the mayor
several pertinent questions in regard
to various items i'm the bill, ana pre-
scented convincing arguments for the
opposition. concluding his talk ny say
ing that he had given but & brief
resume of why he was opposed. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Heselton the ultimate
consumer pays the bill, and he said
that the cost Of repaving Wattr street
would appear in every article Of food
or apparel bought from local mer-
chants. He said that he wanted peace
and harmony even IL he had to fight for
II. and declared that the new city gov
eminent was innoculated with the virus
to spend someone else's money.
Hilliard Cook and Hon. Edwin T.
Ladd appeared for the opposition.
The discussion between the mayor
became rather personal and showed
that each had put in considerable time
and thought on the subject. the out
come Of which will be decided Tuesday,
May 20.
