COLBY BALLMEN
START PRACTICE
IN EARNEST TODAY

Especial to the Kennebec Journal)
Waterville, April 6-The Blue and
Gray baseball squad will report to
Coach Freddie Parent Monday after
noon at $50 o'clock on the athletic
field for the first out-of-door work.
out that they have had this season.
This afternoon Coach Parent looked
the field over thoroughly and decided
that the wind and sun had done their
work so well that his charges could
use the grounds in safety providing
that it does not rain tonight. The
clay Is well dried off and there is
small chance that any of the men
will be exposed to any injuries
through playing on soggy ground.
Beginning tomorrow afternoon. the
Blue and Gray ball tossers will be
worked TO the limit in order that
they may be in condition to start
the schedule off in less than two
weeks. The schedule this year. as
prepared by Manager Hale is a tough
one, far harder than the one which
the Blue and the Gray stacked up
against last season, and Captain
Fransen's sluggers will be compelled
to work the limit all season. Start
ing off with the annual exhibition
game against the University of
Maine nine in Waterville on Patriots
day, the Colby schedule will take the
team away from Waterville the fol-
lowing Tuesday afternoon for Proyi-
dence, where the Blue and Gray will
stack bats with the nine of Provi-
dence college. Last year the Rhode
Island lads turned the trick on their
Maine rivals but Captain Fransen
and Coach Parent will work hard to
reverse the innings this season.
THURSDAY the team will play their
old rivals Springfield college at
Springfield and endeavor to uphold
their end as we'll as they did last
year. Last spring the Blue team
pulled through with pretty win over
the Y. M. G. A. aggregation with the
score of 30 in. their favor, Harry
Muir hurting masterful game for
Colby. Friday the team will lay off
unless Manager Hale finds some team
that will be willing to. face the Wa
terville collegians and then Saturday
they will meet the Lowell Textile
team at Lowell.
After the first trip Of the season.
the Blue and Gray aggregation will
begin their work in the state series
IN earnest with the state title always
In front Of them. Coach Parents
warriors will do their utmost TO
pring the coveted bunting back to
COPY Tor the second time in a year.
There are several promising hurI-
ers out this year to do the battery
stuff for Colby. the most prominent
or them being Howard, Coulman.
Porter, Muir and Weymouth. I'm
doubtedly Coach Parent will spend
a great deal Of time before the state
series on developing q couple of
good pitchers who can be depended
on as was Odom last season.

My advice to the average golfer Is
to get a grip which is suitable and

cultivate a good wide, firm stance,

DISTRICT FIRE WARDEN

Our last Legislature created for
the three counties of Cecil, Hartford
and Kent the position of District
Forest Warden. This Is a very
timely help to our present forest
protection,
We have always had local Forest
Wardens,. who we're on call II there
was a fire. They were only en-
ployed with lighting fire, and the
pay was minor consideration.
We have never had our fire bills
paid by our County Commissioners.
With a State paid officer, who is
employed for full time during the
FIRE period of the year,-october,
November, March, April, May,-the
situation is to be more effectively
managed. There are to be several
additional local wardens appointed
in the more dangerous, less protect
ed areas of the three counties.
These, under the supervision of the
new District Warden, will be more
fully acquainted with methods of
fire fighting and especially in fixing
responsibility whenever possible.
The generous gift of the Whit
aker Iron Company of a sum that
has placed a soft. steel tower on
Foy's Hill, places an ever-ready eye
to very serious, ever present
menance between the two main line
railroads, The Waterman, who is
Mr.. Henry Hartenstine. is employed
by the State and with his personal
knowledge of the country for miles
around should make a splendid
.howing in detecting the tell-tale
,url OF smoke when 1t first breaks
ehrough and summon the nearest
Warden and his crew by telephone.
This lookout ts on duty for day
time. except on days when a fire
could not start, owing to rain or
snow. for flve months of the year,
and such days persons can be we'll
repaid by a visit to the tower to OBJ
serve the fine view and learn what
this State is doing to fight the ever
decreasing supply of our wood lots.
The Railroad Fire Law, which
also is newly enacted. is closely con-
nected with the District Warden's
work. He will go ever the railroad
right of ways and inspect the burn
ing of the safety strips before April
Is of each year. and it is expected
that the large proportion of fires
from this cause VIII be cut to a
minimuM,
