.Lo c;tv commission is about to re-
onen negotiations with the railroads for
the erection without litigation OF
viodurt at Twenty fourth street by IN
creasing its offer to pay 20 per cent
of the cost to So per cent.
The financial difference between the
CITY and the carriers amounts to S5o',
600. Property owners in the proposed
yiaduct district have urged commission
members TO assume this additional sum
IN order to get the development started.
Strenr Commissioner w. f.. Dickson
will Inv the situation before the entire
commission before the end of the month.
In the event the city declines to
nav This additional 10 per cent, thus
blasting all hope for a settlement OF
the deadlock now existing, interested
property owners will call a meeting for
the purpose of finding a way to raise
the $4,000, according to persistent re-
ports.

Immediately follow an announcement
that q viaduct at Twenty-fourth street

roads on the city's plans for under

Twentieth streets has definitely been
abandoned, but developments during the
past week gave rise Saturday to predlc-

Dickson added, significantly: Glow
ever, it may be that the commission and
the railroads can yet get together. The
offer of 25 per cent we have already
submitted, and which has been rejected
does not include property damages,
which the city also agreed to stand"
Commissioner William L. Harrison
shared Dickson's view that the viaduct
is badly needed in advance Of the under
pass construction, and said he would
welcome a further conference on the
subject. He asserted he could not say
whether he would vote to assume the
additional 10 per cent of the cost with
out further consideration with the other
commissioners.

Lively Ball Reason
For Heavy Hitting
Word Veteran Walsh

Chicago, May S-The new rule
which is keeping the old ball IN play
as long as possible is giving pitchers
more effectiveness, according to Big
Ed Walsh, veteran spitball star, and
now first lieutenant to Manager John
ny EverS of the Chicago White SoX.
Good pitching is not thing of the
past" said Walsh. This new Sener-.
alton of pitchers is going to turn out
as many stars as the old days and the
rule to keep the balls in play as long
as possible is a big help to the new
corners. When they We're shooting
that new ball into the game every
time it became the least bit soiled or
some batter lodged 4 complaint. it
was pretty tough on a fellow to strike
his side and many a rookie went back
start
The lively ball and so many of
them now tossed into the game, was
largely responsible for the heavy hit
ting and the home-run epidemic.
When you look back into the old days
YOU will not find so many home-runs.
Runs came home on singles and fast
base-running as big factor. The old
sacrifice. the stolen base, the general
inside stuff won most of the ball
games.
'In the old days. pitcher turned in
a lot more games than some of the
fellows today. but that's not the fault
of the present day twirlers. He may
be as good as the old timer, and just
aa willing to work but he doesn't get
into the game as often"

College Football
Not COmmercialized
SAYS Princeton Coach

Reading. Pa, May civilian
C'BillD Roper. former coach of
Princeton University's football team,
speaking before the University club
of Reading last night, declared that
college football in America was not
commercialized.
Every man who attends a Satur-
day afternoon football game between
colleges Is not commercializing the
sport" he said. Instead, he is as
sisting in the athletic education of
go percent of the college youth of the
land. Every time a college sends
away team, it loses money, unless
1t be a football team, and the en-
ormous income from football is the
only balance which permits the ath.
letic system of colleges to be con-
tinued."
Lawson Robinson, track coach at
the University of Pennsylvania and
trainer of the American Olympic
team, predicted that the United
states would win the track and field
events of the Olympic games, despite
the advancement of foreign nations
in the field of sports.

Wd0iEl-Harvard
Fight to 6-2 Score
In Pitchers Battle

Cambridge, Mass. May S.-Five
runs in the first inning gave Har-
ward a victory over BoWdoin yeSter-
daT ut Soldiers field. After being
nicked for three hits in the first
frame. Stanley Red" Robinson,
pitching for the visitors, held the
Crimson hitless. Meanwhile the
Bowdoin feeders were playing errat-
ic ball and were baf1ed by the toss

The wor!, of both pitchers stood
out. Even after a very bad start
Robinson remained calm and hurled
steady ban. In the sixth, with the

Harvard runlcss. The bespectacled
youth who. curiousIy enough. is the
son of a Harvard graduate. Rev G.
s. Robinson of Lewiston. also fielded
his position clevcrly and drove in a
run with a long three Dagger.
Toulmin, wh1 has pitched in sew
crai games but up till yesterday had
not started any. struck Que nine bat
tcr3 and allowed only four hits. Aft
er the first inning his control was
excellent. BoWdoin's first five hit
tcrs all hatted handed, bat the
Brunswick nine looked a wcak-hit-
ting aggregation and did not bother
Toulmin much.
The same started as if il would
be Il runaway. Rogers opened for
Harvard with walk, and Dick Nor
ris, who was at first base while Tom
Campbell took an examination, sin
gled. Gordon's hit to center put
Rogers over and Norris reached
third. Lee Todd raped to Johnson,
who made wild heaVe toward the
plate, Norris and Gordon counting.
Todd came in on Hills single to
third, and Hill Travelled around the
bases on Nichols ensuing wild peg
and two erratic pitches.
HarN ards last tally came in the
third when Todd walked and came
horne as Jenkins roller went
through Morrei! and continued its
career by going between South

Bowdoin's first hit came in the
fourth. when Dick Williams poked a
long home run into left field. and
the other safe binglcs and tallies
came in the fifth. Daggett singled,
Robinson's triple to left scored him.
and Robinson counted on Nichols
hoist to Todd.
Then Toulmin settled down and
for the next three frames Bowdoin
did not set a man to first. In the
ninth a brief rally dWindled out.
The visitors eight errors kept the
Crimson on the verge of scoring. but
Robinson was too strong. The Har-
ward hurler had the visitors popping
up continually, and nice running
catches were contributed by Jenkins

Complications Set
In and Bates-COlby
Game Is Postponed
Especial TO kennebec JournaD

NSptCldl 10 hGuHtbpt JOul IItlJ
Waterville, May S-Another hitch
in the baseball games between Bates
and Colby came UP this afternoon
, which definitely postponed the first
game OF the two college mines from
tomorrow afternoon to the afternoon
Of June 2. The second game will be
PLAYED as originally scheduled at
Waterville on Wednesday afternoon,
May Il. This action is final, accord
ing to both Manager William w.
Hale and Coach Freddie Parent.
There We're a number of reasons
why the first contest was again
called over by the Colby officials.
The game could not start until after
4.30 o'clock by ruling of the college
faculty as they are opposed to ath-
letics or other college activities in
terfering with college work. This
ruling has hit many games in the
past. Then Coach Parent was un-
willing to play a State title game so
late in the afternoon as it grows very
cold after the sun sets and the men
cannot do their best. Two or three
games are TO be played on Seaverns
field this spring after 4.30 o'clock on
week days hut they are with college

games are not as crucial as the State
contests.
The first game was scheduled to
have been played at Lewiston on May
I but the Bates authorities asked in
definite postponement after the
trag ic drowning last Saturday of
Bates senior and the Colby author
tiles willingly held off the contest
Yesterday Manager Hale announced
that the Bates authorities would like
to play at Waterville Friday and
have the Blue and Gray play at Lew
iston next Wednesday.
Another reason advanced for the
postponement of the first game was
that the Blue and Gray would meet
Bates Friday, Twin City club on
Saturday, Lowell Textile on Monday
and Bates at Lewiston on Wednes-
day. AS it is now, the game will be
played between the University of
Maine. If the two colleges resume
athletic relations, and University of
New Hampshire games the first week
in June. Previous to this game, Col
by will play Bowdoin on May 2S,
University of New Hampshire at
Durham on the 10Th, Tufts at Med
ford on Memorial Day, and Dart
mouth at Hanover on the 3lst.
The Blue and Gray nine was given
good afternoons workout today on
the athletic field in preparation for
the game with Pat French's Twin
City club representing Lewiston and
Auburn. The local collegans will be
assured of some tough proposition
when they face the down State ag-
gregation. as Pat French has collect
ed this season some excellent men
who know the game and can play it
as well.
