LALIBERTE PICKED
AS FAv0RITE FOR
BOOST SPORTS BOUT

Lewiston. April 2-Kayo Laliberte
will enter the ring Friday night the
favorite. After his great showing
against Kid DUDE two weeks ago.
Laliberte is picked by the majority
Of fans to register decisive victory
over DUDE in their second meeting
at the Boost Sports club bouts.
This does not mean that confidence
has flown from the DUDE camp, how
ever, for the Kid has a large clan Of
hackers ready to grab any long
green the Laiiberte men offer. DUDE,
says the report, will be in much bet
ter condition than in his previous
bout, and will not make the mistake
of letting the first six pass before he
opens up. Laliberte got away to a
big lead in their first meeting be-
fore DUDE uncovered.
While the main bout is the talk Of
the fistic circle, the semi-final
promises to be a brilliant match,
with Ruby Levine meeting the Lew
iston flash, George Bolduc. Levine
was induced to postpone his Califor-
mia trip a week in order to give Boil
due a crack at him. Levine will
leave Saturday night. and has his
tickets purchased for the overland
journey.

Saco Baseballers
Look for Champ
Nine This Season

Saco. April coach Bertram E.
Beckett, a former Dartmouth college
player, who is to coach the Thornton
academy baseball squad for the COM
ing season. has arrived in this city
and assumed charge of the large
number of candidates that are appli-
cants for the positions on this sea =
sons nine which have been working
out in the George ~. Emery sym
nasium for the past two weeks, un
der the direction of Physical Director
Harry Mapes, who will act as assist
ant coach and trainer for the team
this year.
The squad at present numbers
about 50 candidates and it is ex-
pected will be still further increased
during the next few days by 10 or
Is NOR students who have express
sed their intention of coming out for
practice.
This is the first season for several
years that the Saco school has had
an outside coach and with such a
large amount of promising material
it is expected that Mr.. Beckett will
be able to develop championship
team.
Joe Vachon, one Of the biggest
schoolboy twirlers in the State, who
did the bulk of the pitching for the
Saco school this season is reported
as being in the best of condition and
is expected to be one of the leading
mound artists in the schoolboy
league of which the Thornton team
will again be a member.
Other pitchers who are showing up
we'll in preliminary practice are Cap
tain Henry Levallee, Quinnam and
Barnes. The most promising candi-
dates at present for the catching po-
sition are Sarelas, Paul. Calderwood
and futile.
On account of the weather. outdoor
practice will not be started for at
least another week. Coach Beckett
does not intend to take any chances
with his pitchers.

WORUMBO'S SIGN
LORD, LEAGUE STAR
TO HANDLE TEAM

Lisbon Falls, April 2-The Wor-
jumbo Mills Of Lisbon Falls. as well
as the townspeople. are going to be
represented by one Of the best baseball
clubs in the State this year. The
club officials made a big stride In
when they received the signature to
a contract of Harry u. Lord, former
ly major league star, to handle the
managers end and coach the team.
Lord and the officials Of the club
speedily came to an agreement and
the South Portland man will report
there May LIST. In the meantime he
VIII be on the lookout for some first
class ball players. 1t was agreed by
all concerned that Lord would be in
entire charge of the club and engage
the players that would represent the
club. '
The worumbo Mills have been rep
resented by team for two or three
years just an ordinary combination,
but this year the people Of the town
wanted something better and the
Mills offered to match dollar for dol
lar, the funds that were subscribed
by the townspeople. AS a result a
tidy sum is already in the treasury to
start the season, and the Worumbos
will be one of the first clubs in action
this season.
The team plans to ented the pro-
posed Western Maine baseball league
of which Ben Houser. manager of the
Augusta Millionaires. Is the sponsor.
and it was partly through Houser
that Lord was secured by the NNor-
jumbo management.
Last season Lord managed the Dix
field club, but was handicapped by
starting late and with mediocre
brand of ball players. and too late
to get hold of some of the good men.
AS yet Manager Lord has secured
no players and will start now to
| round out a winning combination.

How Nah -Joneg Was Originated

Mah-Jongg is said to have been
first devised by famous Chinese
statesman and soldier in an effort
to divert the soldiers from the hard
ships they were suffering.
The tiles were divided into three
series, known as spears, targets and
vans.
Spears were symbolic of the
weapons which the soldiers used
the targets of their a i'm, and the vans
of the reward they would receive.
Gradually the game became very
popular. The military symbolism
was discarded and a more appro-
pirate one adopted. The spears be-
came bamboos. the targets became
circles. and the vans become char
acters
