Waterville Finishes
Season, Winning in
Tennis-Baseball
Especial to the Kennebec JournaD

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville. June 1.-The tennis
and baseball teams OF the Water
Vile High school finished their sea-
son Saturday by wins. This also
marked the end Of q very successful
athletic year for the high school.
Last fall the football team COM
posed of five green men went
through the season with only one
defeat. The boys basketball team
had q very good season. in fact, the
best that they had for Ave years. The
girls basketball team went through
the season with only one defeat but
they wiped that out by decisive
victory over that team.
The baseball team went through
this season with only one defeat that
coming from Gardiner. This is a
good record considering the fact that
Coach Hendricks had to build up a
new team. The record of the sea-
son Is as follows:
Waterville High school 8; Halo
well 2.
Watervills High school /; Gardi-
ner 8.
.waterville High school 2; Alumni 3.
Waterville High school 10: Cony 4.
Waterville High school g. Show
hogan 2.
WatervilIe High school 1; winslow
waterville High school 81; Hart
land 4.
Waterville was the only team in
the State to give the Skowhegan nine
set back and it was the first time
in three years that the purple and
white defeated Cony.
Graduation will hit the team hard
as the following will receive their
diplomas this week: Captain Trainor,
Clapprood, MERCER and Zufelt. The
hardest blow will be when the cap
tain leaves the school. He was con.
sidered the best pitcher in Central
Maine. There is no one in school
now who can fit into his place.
Tho tennis team finished its Sec
ond season without a defeat when
they humbled the Newport boys Al
saturday. They are now claiming
the State championship. The only
other logical contender seems to be
Portland. 1t is hoped that these two
teams can be brought together to
decide the championship. Water
vins defeated Cony twice by q score
or SO. while the Portland team de-
teated Cony 81 last Saturday.

BEN HOUSER and
CHARGES UPSET
OLD DOPE BUCKET

Bowdoin College, May 31.-Ben
Houser, the Bowdoin baseball coach,
admits that he is considering an Of
fer to direct diamond destinies OF
Lafayette College. but lie does not
confirm rumors that he has resigned
as mentor OF the White Collegians.
In connection with the report of
Houser's possible resignation comes
a startling rumor that Jack Magee,
the track coach, has resigned or Is
about TO resign. 1t is said however,
that Magee and one or the college
officials engaged in battle OF words
at the Council meeting this week,
but that the matter has blown over,
and everything is seRene again, and
that the veteran mentor Will stick
by his post.
Ben Houser's ball club which last
year tied Colby for the State cham
pionship will either win the flag this
year or deadlock Maine for the title.
This years standing is contingent on
the outcome OF the game between
Maine and Colby this week. IL
Maine wins. then the Orono and
Brunswick mines will end the sea-
son in n tie.
After a weak preliminary season,
and rated as a rank outsider for the
State title, Bowdoin has completely
upset the dope by winning four OF
the six games in the series. Playing
brilliant baseball one day and bad
ball the next the trratic local team
has bafIied the Ndopesters. Maine
whipped Bowdoin at Brunswick IA
TO 2, and then the Brunswickians
turned around yesterday and licked
Maine Z to 4. II is probable that with
this record, the Bowdoin authorities

D What tricks has a pitcher at
his command other than the
use of curves?
aa- Answered by 'EI
*A JACK BENTLEY >
Pitcher. New York Giants: Known
as terrific slugger. Purchased from
Baltimore for approximately 485, 900
Ono OF the best tricks which q
pitcher has at his command-and
1 think even better trick than US
ing curves-is mixing 'em up" or
changing the pace OF the delivery.
The idea in this trick Is to throw
several fast balls and then sneak one
across the plate which will make
the batter almost break his back
reaching for 1t. To make this trick
effective the slow ball has to be de-
livered with the same motion as IL
used in delivering the speedy ball.
think that this trick is more effect
i've than curves oftentimes and am
sure that it Is easier on the pitching
arm.

disagreement was in the way Europe should be saved.
 Except in England, no one really wanted peace, at least wanted it bad enough to give their neighbor fair deal. in Europe the big wrong Is not in having so much war, but in Amer lca's having so much money. The money which America has 50 they say, is money which belongs to Flu rope. It is money which America took from Europe during the war and it must be returned. This is why on the continent the war debts to the United States are not considered debts.
 Europe has something of the artis- tic temperament where money is con- cerned. The money one owes or the money someone else has is sordid and wrongful stuff. The money Europe has is fine.
 Mr. Crowther believes that America can never get anywhere with Europe in terms of our own life. Least of all can we get anywhere thinking of our own life in European terms.

RUSSIA ASKS FOR SHIPS
PERMISSION TO BUILD UNDER
 LEAGUE AUSPICES SOUGHT

ROME, March 6-Permission to build 419,000 tons in capital ships has been asked by Russia of the confer ence here under league of nations aus pices for extending the principles of the Washington naval treaty. Admiral Behrens representing Rus, sia, set forth the difficulties of her po- sition with it's frontage on three seas and pointed out that she had not re ceived any guarantees from the other nations for her security.
 The conference offered Russia 125,- 900 tons but her representative refus- ed to consider that tonnage and after much discussion the figure was re- duced by Admiral Behrens to not more than 3OOO,00O tons, in exchange for which he asked certain guarantees for the Baltic and Black Seas.
 Wants Free Hand
 The Russian representative said Russia could not construct Warships at present but did not wish to tie her. self down to any agreements which would prevent her doing so in future if circumstances permitted and she had need to exercise the privilege.
 One capital ship of 35,O00 tons to be built in 1927 or later will be the new construction of first class fight ing craft allowed to Argentina, Bra gil and Chile if the proposals formu- lated by the conference are adopted by the respective countries,
 An agreement for limitation for Norway, Denmark, and Holland had been reached.
 Spain has indicated that she ex- poets to be able to construct a certain amount of first class tonnage, but the conference as a whole found itself not in accord with the Spanish view point
 The spirit of the Washington con ference by all accounts has been in tensely pervasive throughout the dis cussions, while the delegates as a whole conceded that outlay on capital ships is a heavy drain on the resourc- es of all the countries and are anxi- ous for an agreement as to limitation in the interests of economy if for no other reason.
 The conference is continuing it's sessions today. All deliberations are in secret.
