One of the most important duties al the public school is teaching re- gard for the Nations Flag. In the lower grades the Flag salute and pledge is made part of the morn ing exercises so that they may re- member in a fitting manner just what the mbem represents to them. In the upper grades the pledge is not given 90 often, hut nev- ertheless a flag is placed in each room to remind them of its meaning and to which the salute is given on such occasions as may be deemed fit.
 Last Fall new Flags were procured very much in evidence in all of them, A Flag was also acquired for the school house and is always flown while the school is in session. an old one being used in stormy weather.

The 1924 basketball season opened with two fast games played in the High School Gym, on Thursday night.
 The first game began promptly at seven o'clock, between the two light weight teams, the Pirates" and the Cubs. and promised to be top Ho,cher from the moment the first whistle blew for the teams to assem- bic. Both teams started the game with rush. Each one had fine pass work and before long Russell May nard put a basket in for the Cubs. Then before anyone could realize what was going to happen. Ernest Gerhart slipped in a couple for the Pirates and they were in the lead. Andrew Sather retaliated with two more and Curtis Crooks, guarding for the Cubs. ended the quarter with field goal
 In the second quarter things be- gan to slip toward the Cubs; several baskets being scored by Sather, May nard and Swanberg, while the Pir- ates failed 10 score at all The last two quarters were rather repeti- ton of the second with the Cubs very much on the hand of the scoring side. The Pirates played good de- fensive game but seemed to be un- able to do much in the way of SCOT ing, as they were handicapped by the loss of one of their players on the in jured list. The game ended in vic- tory for the Cubs.
 The second game of the evening opened the series between the High School and the town team. The teams were very evenly matched and except for the last quarter, the score re- mained in doubt to the most opti- mistc dopesters. The brand of basketball displayed was very high class on both sides, showing up fine pass work and excellent floor con- troI. The closeness of the game can readily be seen by glance at the Acorss at the quarter marks which were 8 to 4: 15to II; 22 to 20 and y6 to 36. The High School team seemed to have Sbwed down conRid- tehy in tbe last quarter. enabf!ag the town team to secure 4heir lasss score. and the game. Both games were ably refereed hy L. '.

OLDTOWN WHIPS
TACONNETS, I
GAME PROTESTED

Especial to the Kennebec Journal}
Watervilie, July l.-Old Towns
win over the Taconnets here this
afternoon Al would have been the
result of one of the fastest contests
of the season il heated arguments
over umpires decisions had not
marred the game. AS it stands now
the .Taconnets are protesting the
game on the grounds that Umpire
Dwyer reversed his decision in the
sixth inning first calling ball foul
and then changing his decision.
Incidents leading up to the protest
are described by Manager Forrest
Allen of the Taconnets as follows:
Daniels was batting and two balls
had been called on him. Reed was
on first. There was no one out.
Daniels hit at pitched ball and the
ball bounded into the batters box
striking Daniels and then rolled out
toward Kierstein. the Old Town
pitcher who threw it to second Fore
ing Reed and the ball. was returned
to first making a double play IL the
ball was fair. Dwyer called foul and
Daniels did not leave his box. Loud,
the Old Town right fielder came in
and the umpire reversed his deci-
sion. Manager Allen came over and
stated that the ball had bounced in
the batters box and hit Daniels and
the umpire said that he was right
and called it a foul again.
After about 20 minutes of dispute
the decision was given to Old Town,
and the two men were declared out
and the game proceeded. The spec
tators objected vociferously through
out the remainder of the game until
in the ninth the Bar Harbor ,Ex-
press struck Ford touring car on
the College avenue crossing. No one
was hurt but the crowd of 1000 or
more left the stands in a body and
the game ended with Old Town in
the lead.
For the first four innings both
teams went scoreless. In the fifth
Bragg hit and Dagastino followed
with another single. advancing
Bragg. Cutler drove out a neat
bingle scoring Bragg. It looked like
win for the Taconnets until the
argument arose sixth and after that
all the breaks seemed to come for
the visitors. In the eighth Old Town
tied the score. kierstein hit off,
Smith sacrificed and Silva put across
a single that scored Kierstein.
In the ninth the big crash came
when Murphy hit. Neptune sacri-
feed, Mouradian took a free ticket.
then after Slower went out T. Loud
cracked a sweet double to left field.
Murphy and Mouradian scored.
Kierstein came up and singled again
driving Loud home. The Taconnets
ended the game In one. two. three
order.

MILLIONAIRES CRAB LEAGUE TOP I
CRASHING WIN OVER EASTERNS "a
BIGGEST CROWD AT SEASONS BEST

Puzzled the greater part Of the
distance by the offerings of Gil
Whitehouse, the Miilionaires came
through at the finish in crashing
style, grabbing a to 8 win over
the Easterns in the best played game
of the season on Williams field yes
terday afternoon.
The biggest gathering Of the year
turned out to see the battle for, the
sun berth in the Maine State League
and it sure got its moneys worth.
Runs were scare In the early frames
and the playing was marked by
clever and at times sensational field
ing.
Brown, the Houser portsider had
spells of wobblyness but sharp de-
fence work kept the visitors within
hailing distance at all times. In the
opening canto. the Easterns bid for a
tally was cut short when Shorty
Fitzpatrick took hot one and start
ed a double killing with Morrell rs
the keystone and Hill at the, finish.
The seventh was marked by two
beauty plays Shorty raced over near
the bag and halted Heals terrific
drive and shot it to first. Davis in
left, after Feeley singled shoti the ball
perfectly to the plate for pretty
killing.
For six frames. whitehouse. the
old big Lacquer had the Indian sign
on the Millionaires. Easy pop flies
and strike outs were the order. the
few hits being widely scattered. In
the seventh, however. the break
came. With one down. Brown was
given a walk but was out on XII
patrick's grOunder. Morrell singled.
Shorty going to third. On the first
pitch MorreI took second and then
both scored on Clancy's blow to left
Davis followed with another safe
tap, scoring Clancy. Small ended
the rally by lofting to Heal
The Easterns tailed one In the
fourth on a single by Heal and a
two pillow tap by Whitehouse, An
other was registered in the seventh
on a single by Feeley and Joe
Smiths double to left center. The
visitors tied ZIP the count in the
ninth. Roach, first up tripled to left
center and then Brown was sent to
the showers, Don Brennan going to
the mound. Callahan was out at first
on a nice fly by Baker but Feeley
sneaked ore by the intield playing in
close. Smith got walk but was
forced out on CaIlahan'S rap ana
Heal sent up a high one for Davis.
Then the crowd rose en- masse and
called upon the Houser crew to fin
ish it right and they sure did. the
dope being as follows: Don was out
on a classy play by Roach. but
Shorty poked a pretty one by short.
stole second and continued to third
when the bah thrown to catch him
stealing went to center field. Nal
Morrell tried to score the dancing
Shorty but his best was a high one
to right. With two out Dan Clancy
presented himself at the bat and the
crowd abjured the popular right gar
dener to come across and Dan did
not fail 'em. He picked out one of
Whitehouse's shoots to his liking and
the pill shot through, the box while
Shorty trotted home with the win
ming run, of the best game of the
year. Thes core:
