Bowdoin Yearlings
Race Against Portland
High Men Friday
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Brunswick, Me. Feb. 19.-The an
nnual track games between Port
land High school and the Bowdoin
freshman will be held Friday. Feb.
p, in the Hyde Gym. This meet al
! ways arouseS a good deal of interest
and promises to be better than even
this year. The yearling class at Bow
dom is much weaker in track ma
terial than in past two years. Inc
high school by its overwhelming de-
feat of the Bates Fresh last Satur-
day indicated a strong. well-rounded
team. The competition for points,
therefore, should be much keener
than in 1922 and 1923, which proved
to be walkaways for the Freshmen.

HOOP GAMES. COLBY
Especial to Kennebec Journal)

WaterviIle. Feb. 19.-The Delta Up
silon aggregation received their first
upset of the season In the annual inter-
mural basketball league at Colby Col
lege this afternoon in the first half of
the sixth round of the tournament at
five. Luck more than anything else
won the game for the Non-Fraternity
basketeers. In the first game Of the
afternoon the Alpha team sprang an
other surprise by presenting the Zeta
Psi hoopsters with the small end of
an 1873 score. The score of the Delta
Epsilon Nom Fraternity contest was 29-
20 in favor of the latter.
The Alpha-Zeta Psi game was any
thing but basketball with a good deal
of roughness on the part of both
teams. The first period went scoreless
until Felch dropped in the ball with
Is seconds to play, ma.Aing the score
20 at the end of the initial round. The
Alpha aggregation drew away from
their rivals in the second period and
had fair lead at the end of the half,
but came back strong in the last part
OF the game and had the Zetes at their
mercy. Merrill and Wright did some
clever work on the Alpha defence and
allowed but one basket to be made by
Pierce. For the winners, Felch and
Nickerson played best. while Soule and
Goodrich played well for the Zets.

Palatial Home Burned

Fire believed to have started from a
discarded cigaret swept the palatial
Percy Straus mansion, Chapel Hill,
Middletown, Thursday and destroy
ed it with loss variously estimated
at between $500, 900 and 100000.
Priceless tapestries, antique
furniture, paintings and sculpture work
recently procured from Europe were
DESTROY ed, but few pieces Of furniture
being saved. Several Of the canvasses
were the work Of masters and were
valued high into the thousands of
dollars. Firemen from Red Bank to
Keansburg fought vainlyto stem the
blaze.
Mr.. Straus was on his way TO Red
Bank Thursday. At his home at S75
Park avenue, New York, it was said
that the loss might reach ST.,
OO0. 900 provided tapestries and paint
ings consigned to the estate from
Europe had reached there. It is be-
lieved, however, that many were being
stored in New York. A description Of
the masterpieces burned could not be
obtained.
Thomas William Head, horticulture
ist, discovered the fire. He and a
caretaker had walked around the
grounds'at SIS
When returning to the caretaker's
home at the east of the estate Head
saw ligid reflection. The flames were
seen burning in the lower hall
Head turned in an alarm for the fire
apparatus of the estate and his wife
telephoned every fire department within
five mile radius. The caretaker broke
into the front door to snatch the price
less masterpieces but was beaten back
empty handed by smoke and flames.
The fire spread rapidly, leaping up
the wide staircase, which created a
strong draft. and branching out over
the entire second floor. In less than 20
mintes after Head discovered the fire
the house was virtually total loss, the
flames continued to burn strongly
until midnight.
Firemen from Red Bank, Leonardo,
Keansburg Port Monmouth, Atlantic
Highlands and Bel d succeeded in
carrying small articles of furniture out
of first floor windows. The value Of the
articles saved was trivial.
Mr.. Straus was to have occupied the
estate June 1. He, with Mrs. Straus
and their children, had been In New
York all winter. Workmen had been
relayhg carpets and erecting major
alterations on the first floor The
working men had left the building
before o'clock.
The Straus mansion was built In
1909 at a cost OF over $500, 900, the
entire estate, it is estimated, costing
upward of $500, 900. Isadore Straus,
father of Percy Straus, who until his
death was a frequent visitor at the
Chapel Hill home, persisted with his
wife on the Titanic. The reason for
their tragic end is that there was room
for only one more in the life boat, and
they refused to leave each other, and
persisted together.
The house was three stories high
and was built Of brick. 1t was in
sured.
1t is believed in Red Bank that Mr..
Stratus will rebuild an even more
elaborate mansion than that which
burned. The estate is located within
a mile of that of Haskell. the powder
man. The house was situated on a
commanding hill and was landmark In
that section.
Mr.. Straus is owner of the R. H.
Macy store in New York.
