That Hebron obun Title Clash Sure Was TossUp Alta
BOWDoIN'S MILLION
DOLLAR OUTFIT
IS ONLY MIRAGE

Brunswick, March @u-Bowdoln
hopes of q championship diamond
team this spring have gone out the
window. Many things have gone
wrong and Coach Ben Houser's
crew of candidates is not the cham
pionship outfit it appeared TO be the
first Of practice.
At the first Of the year it appeared
that Rowdoin would have the best
out;ield OF the Maine colleges and
one OF the best in New England. This
was a pipe vision. Asa Small and
Dave Needleman. two of the smart
est fielders Bowdoin ever had in the
sardens left college. Dick Jones was
unable to make a bid for n garden
berth because OF n bad knee. The
million dollar outfield turned out TO
be a mirage.
Fat Hill. one of the few experienced
men on the squad. will probably hold
down one of the outtield berths.
Larry Ranney. one of the premier
hatters, viii probably cover another
outtield berth. Fish, Daggett, Grit
fin or Harry Smith Will scrap II out
for the remaining job.
The first game of the year is but
4 little more imam week away.
Bowdoin plays Annapolis at the
Naval Academy, March %.
Several freshmen may make the
team this spring. 1t is sure that
several will be taken on the spring
jaunt down through Southern New
England Ranks may upset the plans,
as has happened so often in the
past.
Gil Vaux will probably start off as
first string baCkstop. NauX is far
from a cub PLAYER. He has played
with the New York y. &. club, as
well as others. Les Blake is drill
ing for a backstop as well.
Two pitchers are sure to take the
trip, Larry Southwick and Stan
Robinson. Robinson had displayed n
wide range of hooks and twists, but
has been slowed up recently be-
cause of an injured heel. Gray and
Sibley may be taken along as re-
lief hurlcrs. Sibley is Il dependable
batter useful in the pinches.
The iniield is fairly well establish
ed. Jake Aldred will cover the first
sack. and Mall Morrell the keystone
base. Capt. Rupe johnson will dig
in his spikes at short. Third is n
toss-up between Barry Nichols and
Dave Mclaughlin. Johnson will
take a tWirl at the pitching game be-
fore the season is over. lie must
fiji in the short field however, for
he is the only prospect for the berth.

Financial Loss
In Winter Sports
Cham0nix Olympics

Paris. March 20-(Py A. PD-The
winter sports competitions held re-
Gently at Chamonix as part of the
Olympic Games proved success in
every respect with the exception Of
the financial returns. An outlay Of
3,oOeo0D francs brought in gate re-

excessive number Of free tickets was
responsible for this as the attend
ance was never below 5000 n day.
Notwithstanding the financial loss
there was no appointment be-

pected ii. OF the fund for the winter
games the city Of Chamonix sub
scribed 100000 francs. the French

similar amount.

a book which displeased some of the

message to banquet Of democrats
in New York which Mr.. Wilson
claimed claims was never ivsO to ss have written but
mer private secretary just as were
so many verbal messages in the years
of their association. 1t was harm
less communication. simply an ex-
preston of the hope that the demo-
Gratis would do their part in leading
the world to a better understanding
between nations. There could be no
possible objection to the message
even II Mr.. Tumulty had phrased it
son objected to the message because
It, was construed by the newspapers
as a participation by him In the Sc
lection of a candidate for 1924. but
the message was merely pretext-
the anti-Tumulty influence won out
and the man who stood by his chief
for so many years was never even
granted a hearing-indeed,- there is
nothing to show that the subsequent
messages from him ever reached
of Mr. Wilson's life efforts were made
to reunite the two. Again influences
hostile to Mr.. Tumulty prevented such
a meeting. What Mr.. Wilson did do,
he died, was to write a letter to a
friend stating his opinion that the
best man to make the race in New
Jersey on the democratic ticket. for
the United States senatorship in 1924
would be Joseph Patrick Tumulty.
This letter was to have been pub
lished in the Saturday Evening Post
and already was in type when Mrs.
Wilson asserted her legal rights to
suppress the document. The missive
shows that Mr.. Wilson did not lose
his high regard for the man who
served him eleven years as private
secretary and who deserves to be
called by those words which Wood
row Wilson used with peculiar pre-,
cision, namely, loyal friend.
