PORTLAND WILL
HAVE SEMI-PRO
BALL this SEASON

Portland. May 2O-Portland will
have ball club this Summer. Flor
ence Driscoll, agent for the Portland
Baseball Association which Controls
Bayside Park, said last night that he
had practically closed an agreement
with A. /. Solomon for yease of the
grounds. The papers Will be signed
this morning, according to Mr.. Dris-
coll and Mr.. Solomon.
AS there is but one ball park in the
city, it is q bone of contention each
Spring, and this has been no eXcep-
ton. Mr.. Driscoll believes he has
carefully considered each offer made
to him this year, and that his final
decision is for the best interest of the
game in this part of Maine.
Mr.. Solomon will take over the
park on June IA and his lease will
read that he is in control of it till
September 6, with the privilege OF
continuance till the following Satur-
day after Labor Day.
The lessee of the grounds says that
he will have a ball club this Summer
that will come up to the hopes and
expectations of Portland fans, one
that viii be able to compete with the
class of the State. Already Mr.. Solo
mon is in communication with play
ers, and he expects to have full
crew here by the fourteenth of June.
The personnel of the club will be
made up of players who have had ex-
perience in colleges, with a sprinkling
of men who have been out in orga-
nized ball in minor leagues. There is
to be a playing manager, and 1t Is the
hope of Mr.. Solomon to find one that
can go behind the bat and direct the
outfit from that position.
The club will play under the name
of Portland, and according to the
new owner, will have snappy new
uniforms in keeping with the posi-
ton they will hold of representing
one of the best baseball cities in New
England.
Solomon has been connected with
semi professional baseball for many
years and in several different states.
He has operated clubs in two Maine
cities. Bath and Biddeford. He says
that money will be no object in get
ting away to good start and that he
will continue to spend as long as the
public will demonstrate that 1t wants
regular baseball club in Bayside
Park.

ATHLETIC SCHEDULE
Net N EN- PLAY
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Waterville, May 20-The tennis
team is the only athletic team that
sees action today for Waterville
high school. The baseball team has
its first open date of the year. The
net men oppose Gardiner at that
city.
In the first game of the year be-
tween these schools the local boys
were easy winners but the regular
Gardiner team was at the Bowdoin
meet. The Gardiner team played
Cony last Saturday and won 30.
This means that they must have a
sweet team as the Cony boys are
known to be there. The Waterville
boys were way off form last Saturday
In their game with Skowhegan. 1t
seemed as If they hit a slump. To-
day their string of victories will be
in serious danger but Captain Tai
berth thinks that his men are all
over thei: slump. He was unable to
play last week but will be back in
form today.
Although the baseball team has no
game Coach Hendricks has been
working them hard just the same.
He believes in work and that is what
the men are getting.
The track team which Jared 80
well In it's first dual meet of their
career Is hard. at work under the
coaching of Principal Mathews and
Coach Sussman. Many new men
have been added to the squad and
spirit is running high over this
sport. The men are working faith
fully and hope to come through with
a. win. The weak point Of the team
is in the dashes and in view Of this
fact Coach Sussman has three or
four new men trying out in these
events. Without doubt WAteryiIle
will be heard from in this meet.
They are sure to cop the shot put
anyhow looks that way now. Hurd
the HEAVIER is putting in plenty of
time with Coach Mathews.
With such athletic teams repre-
senting the school the students will
be out 100 per cent strong to back up
the boys They do not expect a VIM
ming team the first year but are sure
that every other team will know
that they have raced when the meet
Ia over.

Especial to Kennebec Journa)

Waterville, May 20.-In all proba-
bility Colby College will be again rep
resented at the New England intercol-
legiates which will be held in Cam
bridge on Saturday of this week. Coach
Mike Ryan stated that it has always
been the custom OF the college athletic
association to send to this annual meet
all of the men who have won points in
the annual Maine intercollegiate track
and field meet and that probably this
would be done again this year.
1t is understood at college that the
Colby team will run at Cambridge
without the services of George l.. Nit
tlesdorf as he is freshman and all
freshmen are barred from taking part
in this annual meet. This alone will
cut the college out of a possible point
winner in at least two events. Other
men who will probably go to the meet
will be Captain. Roy c. Hearon. Ken
meth l.. Wentworth, Elmer NJ. Taylor,
Payne. The team will be without the
services of Coach Mike Ryan as the
