There are so many homeless folk
in the hotels and boarding houses and
echool dormitories; so many, too, who
are unable, for one reason or another,
to go home for the Christmas holiday,
that it is an especially gracious thing
for those who have homes to invite
some one of these unfortunates TO
share the Christmas cheer. America
is often known as the home of hos
pitality, and the land of the most gen
erous hostess. But guests should not
take advantage of this. A well-bred,
considerable person always seeks to
make the hostess efforts as light as
possible when she is trying to make
the visit pleasant. If the hostess sug-
gests some sort of entertainment. the
guest should aid her, and should in all
things show consideration and regard
for the rights of others in the house.
Join in the conversation, even though
you don't feel like talking; be as
witty and entertaining as you can
mot necessarily Smart Alec"), not
moody and respondent. Never keep
others waiting, but be prompt, in ans
wering the invitation, attending the
dinner, luncheon or other entertain
ment. 1t is one of the marks of good
breeding.

THE HOMEMAKERS
l CORNER

Now all our neighbors' chimneys
smoke,
And Christmas blocks are burning;
Their ovens they with bak'd meats
choke.
And all their splits are turning.
Without the door let sorrow lie,
And if for cold it hap to die,
weele bury't in Christmas pye,
? And evermore be merry.
-Withers' Juvenila
What Do You Know About Christmas
How much do you really know about
Christmas Pictures and songs have
made the story Of the Babe in the
Manager and His star almost univers-
ally known. But do you know why it
is called Christmas? From early
times, almost since the year so A. D.
or whereabouts, special church fes-
tival has been held on the anniversary
of Christ's birth. In England in early
times this was called "Christes
messe", or "Christ's Mass, whence
we get our word Christmas" At first
because of the lack of historical record
of the exact date of Christ's birth, the
celebration was held at various times
in different places, in December in
some churches, in January, April or
May in others. In the Eastern church
Jan. 6 was the usual date, and the Ar
menians still celebrate at that time.
In the 4th and 9th centuries the GUS
tom of holding the mass on Dec. %
spread to most parts of the world, but
differences in the calendar computa
tions still cause some discrepancy in
time.
Probably the fact that Dec. 25
marked the beginning of the great
winter solstice festival Of the Pagan
Gauls, Germans and Britons helped to
fix the chosen date. And just as in
other cases, when the Christian fes-
tival replaced the old pagan one, many
old customs and symbols were carried
over to the new. The Yule log, use OF
holly, mistletoe and wassail bowl, are
relics Of pagan observances.

COLBY nine GAINS
NEEDED EXPERIENCE
ON MASS. TRIP
Especial to Kennebec Journal)


Waterville, April 27.-The Colby
baseball team arrived back in Wa
terville early this morning after an
unsuccessful five day trip into
Massachusetts and Rhode Island
where they lost two and tied one
game. 1t is thought that the lack
of team practise was one of the
greatest faults that the Blue and
Gray team showed on their initial
trip of the season as they had but
three actual practice games with
the second team before making the
trip.
However. the Blue and Gray ball
tosSers have now gone through three
hard games ana gained considerable
experience which will undoubtedly
prove to be valuable before the
opening of the State college series
rolls around. The greatest weakness
in the local collegians seems to be
in the hurting staff and undoubtedly
Coach Parent will pass n great deal
of time with ell OF the available
hurlers that he has on hand this
week in an effort to do something
towards reme,lving this evil. All three
of the men who were taken on the
first trip were hit hard and often
and they were considered 10 be the
best that the Blue and Gray squad
had on hand. This week probably
Coulman, Saucier and Ekholm will
be given a chance to see what they
can do for the varsity team in prac-
tise games.
The Blue and Gray team will be
in Waterville but two days before
it leaves again for another game in
Massachusetts on Tuesday. The
Colby nine will face the fast travel
ling Boston College aggregation at
University Heights in Boston on
game before the opening of the
State college title series. The blue
and Gray Team is in very poor con-
dition to meet such a team as the
Boston collegians have this season.
but the practice will do the Maine
boys good. In ell probability Coach
Parent will take along for hurlers,
Muir, Coulman and maybe Porter.
The team will leave Waterville
Tuesday evening on the Pullman and
will return on the late train out of
Boston Wednesday night.
Tomorrow and Tuesday. Coach
Parent will probably work his
charges to the limit as the weather
looks as though it might be clear
for the week and be excellent for
baseball. After the Blue and Gray
team returns from the Boston trip.
the Colby mentor will make the final
drive for the opening game Of the
series with Bow doin which will be
played on the local field on Satur-
day afternoon rs part of the Jun
ior From weekend events.

CONY ENERGIES FROM DENSE
WILDERNESS RUNS AND ERRORS
WITH 37-4 WIN over RICHMOND
Cony 81, Richmond 4.


To the ordinary observer it was
fun, to the victims it was tragedy,
and to fans it was unspeakable
slaughter. For the information of
the mildly curious at home who had
the good fortune to miss this riot,
there is little to tell of what was
heralded as a ball game at the Driv-
ing Park, Saturday afternoon.
Canny Coach Thompson with the
knowledge that he would have only
an ordinary outfit the coming sea-
son. emulated the big colleges in
making up his schedule and as a
starter to test the mettle of his
raw material he listed Richmond
High. 1t was not a happy choice.
but then. how was coach to know?
Despite a cutting wind which
swept the slaughter pen, the affair
opened auspiciously and for a cou-
pie of cantos it had all the ear
marks of a bona fide battle. Then
things began to happen. Starting
one named Young with an old look
on his map and who lowered some
six feet toward the promised land
and who sailed under the nickname
of Shorty" At the start he show
ed very poor craftsmanship and
failed to hit the extended bats of
the Cony boys.
But in the third he got the range
and no matter where Cony boy
held his bat the down river phenom
could always hit it with the
pill. The ball scampered to Gil
parts of the arena and in due course
of time the frame ended with a
cluster of six tallies for Cony.
In the fourth. other ambitious
twirlers got jealous of Young's
craftsmanship and after referen-
dum had been held. one Coughlin
girded himself for battle. BY way
of variety he accidentally retired
man, much to the CONSERVATION of
the visitors. while the crowd was
awed. Then he got into the rum
ming again-that is. he got the Cony
boys into the running habit, the
first requisite OF course having their
war clubs bumped by the ball.
Thus the slaughter of the inno-
cents went on. Then coach had a
happy thought. He argued that as
he had rot trained his charges to
negotiate a Marathon he had better
distribute the burden of the hour
and began to shoot substitutes into
the affray. And still the battle
ragged. No quarter asked. no quar-
ter given eve are speaking of the
battle. not the admission). the riot
continued. but in the coming of the
evening with it's frightening shad-
ows. the agony ended.
Seriously. 1t was a story of Cony
team amuck at the expense of a
much inferior outfit. But a word
here for the Richmond lads. AL
though outclassed in every depart
ment. they never lost courage and
played or tried to play the game
every minute. There was none OF
that sore head stuff. They came to
the city smiling and they left ii
smiling. The summary:

There was a near home run in the
seventh by Kenneally, but Umpire
Coady ruled shat he had not touched
first and so he was declared out.

IN RAGGED GAME
BALL, SCORE It's

Especial to The kennebec JournaD
Waterville. Apr. 26.-In one of the
poorest exhibitions of baseball seen
on the Colby field in a long time,
Coburn Classical Institute defeated
the Colby second team Ito. The
game was uninteresting from the
third inning on and very slow.
Coburn had smooth working
team but. the infield was not quite
used to the fast diamond and NC
Croary made couple of costly err
rors. With the exception of these,
the Maroon and Gold infield played
like a million dollars and handled
the ball in fine style. The Coburn
team proved to be a crowd of slug
gers and all of the men on the team
took healthy whollops at the pill.
Western eXcelled with his hitting
and twice crashed out circuit clouts,
adding to this a three base clout in
six times at bat. Bragg was touch
ed up frequently and hard but eX-
cellent fielding kept the number OF.
hits down to nine, while the Maroon
gathered in 15 before they decided
to call it day.
The Blue and Gray seconds looked
terrible after the third inning. Ihey
showed the lack of efficient leader
ship and several substitutlons were
made which appeared to show Ia
Noritism. Anderson on the hot cor
ner was in his worst way and made
J four errors before he was sent in
to take MaAwell's place at short aft
er Maxwell had played corking
good game. Anderson made MS
fifth error at short. Crowley. VINO
took Anderson's place at third IN
the seventh inning. had no time IN
which to show what he could DO
but looked better than his prede-
cessor. Maxwell played stellar
game at short and took nine chances
without an error. although he did
juggle a couple of balls which came
his way he managed to get his man
at the initial sack in time. AT bat
he led the Colby attack with two
smashing doubles to center field.
Coulman held the Coburn team
down fairly we'll for the first three
innings but then the Maroon slug
gers landed on his offerings and got
three extra runs in the fourth. After
Westerns home in the sixth, Coul-
man held the Coburnites hitless I'M
til Saucier was sent in in the sew
enth and hurled two innings. Co
burn scored three in the seventh
and none in the eighth. Abbott was
sent in to finish the game and man
aged to walk a couple of batters I'M
til Snow caught Westerns long CEN
terfield drive and Peabody scooped
up a pretty grounder of McCroary's
and completed a double play with
the assistance of Nickerson and o.
Donnell.
Both Maxwell and Millett scored
runs for Colby with their extra base
hits. The scrubs scored in the sec
ond. fifth and sixth. Nickerson went
like a million dollars at second after
he replaced Peabody, who went to
short. Athletic Director Edwards
stated after the game that it was
the worst exhibition of fooling that
he had ever seen and unless some
one was placed in direct charge of
the seconds and took matters seri-
I ously, the team would cancel all of
its games. as the expense of cou-
pie hundred dollars was being vast
, ed by such fooling. The summary:
