Portland, March 24-Franl: De
Rice, manager Of the Pine Tree A,
c.. has signed fighters for two bouts
for the show at the Exposition Build
ing next Friday night, March %.
The main attraction is one Of twelve
rounds and will be between Andy
Martin Of Boston and Johnny Shop
pard of Woburn. The semi final
ought to be a fast affair. with Johnny
Laroux of Berlin, N. H.. and George
Corbus. the fighting Greek of Pea

Martin and Sheppard have never
fought, though many New England
promoters have tried to get the
match. Sheppard holds the bantam

Martin is q clever boxer. But there
is no danger, Sheppard figures, in a
state where decisions are prohibited.
That Is why Portland fans will have
the opportunity to see these two top

If Sheppard beats Martin here

ROwdoin Starts ON
Southern JaUnt This
Week-Fast Infield

Brunswick, March 23.-BcfoTe the
end of the present week the members
of the Bowdoin College baseball team
will have pacKed their bags and start
ed south. the first game on the sched-
ule being with the Navy at Annapolis
on Saturday.
For two months candidates for the
team have been working hard on the
dirt floor of the Hyde Athletic building,
where Coach Zen Houscr had full
sized diamond on which to try out his
infield and battery candidates.
Last year Jake Aldred covered first
base, George Davis was at second, Cap
tain Joe Smith was on the third cor
ner sack. end Dave Mclaughlin and
Jarrett Nichols alternated in the short
field.
Aldred is still at Bowdoin and will
unquestionably again look after the
initial sack, with Archibald Hepworth
rs of Derry, n. II. as his understudy.
Fat" Hill, who played first base two
years ago and who has returned to
Bowdoin this spring for his degree, is
still eligible, but will probably play in
the outfield.
Donovan D. Lancaster '27 of Milo
seems to have the call to fill the va
carcy at second base caused by the
graduation of George Davis, but he is
fighting for his position with John A.
Lord, Jr.. ~, of Danvers, Mass, who
is very fast on his feet but is not as
good at bat as Lancaster.
Captain Rupert Johnson, who was
one of the mainstays in the pitchers
box for the last two seasons, has been
shifted to shortstop. which position he
will have without competition.
Dave Mclaughlin '26 and Barrett
Nichols '25, who alternated in the short
field last season, have been shifted to
the hot corner at third base, where
they will alternate as they did last
year. These two players are as diff
ferent as can be. Nichols is one of the
fastest. men in the squad on his feet
and is very accurate fielder. being
able to throw the ball true under al
most any conditions with great speed.
He is, however, weak at the bat, in
which feature of the game Mclaughlin
shines. Few men on the squad are as
dependable with the willow as this
Holbrook, Mass, boy.
Coach Hcuser will accordingly alter
nate these players to suit the condi-
tions under which the team is compel
ing. If a fast fielder is needed Nichols
will have the call, while If Bowdoin
needs a heavy hitter Mclaughlin will
be called from the bench and Nichols
will warm his seat for that game.
All in all prospects for a fast and
sure infield for Bowdoin seem espe-
cially rosy. But that is not true for
all the other positions on the team,
more about which will appear tomor-
row.
