Dexter Basketmen
Out for Title in
PenObscOt County

Dexter, Feb 1.-The y. II. Fay High
school basketball five Of this town is
putting in some stiff practice in
preparation for the last half Of the
schedule of games arranged under
the direction of Coach Buck" De-
Weaver. Next Friday night the Fay
High boys clash with Foxcroft acad-
envy with whom they expect little
trouble, the academy boys having
fallen before the onslaught Of Hart
land academy which Fay High
slaughtered last Friday night, GO to
20
The great ambition of Fay High
is to lower the colors of Bangor High
and even the sporting writer's of the
Bangor newspapers predict that the
Dexter boys will trim up the Crimson
ierscyed warriors at their meeting
here in few weeks. Fay High hopes
to double the score on the Queen
CITY lads on the Dexter floor.
On the whole the prospect seems
bright for the winning of the Pen
obscot championship by Dexter this
season. Bangor High won from DeX-
ter by a narrow margin on the huge
surface at Bangor city hall, which Is
the hoodoo to practically all teams
that visit Bangor, the moor beinS
much oversize. There is a Slron%
feeling that Bangor High is no match
for Fay High on a neutral floor and
third game is likely to settle the
county honors, providing Dexter does
the expected and wins from Bangor
in the game here.
Such game played on Central hall
floor. Dover FoXcroft. an exactly
regulation size court. would draw an
Immense crowd and would prove II
money making as we'll as q stellar
sporting proposition.

The Yankees have been negotiating

last night Ed Barrow. business man
ager of the world champions, received
a message from Harry Gardiner.
secretary of the Sox. informing him
that if Aaron Ward. the Yankee sec
ond baseman, were included, the SoX
might trade. otherwise not.
Mr.. Barrow then packed his hand
bag and left for Boston with Colonel
Rupert. the Yankee owner, to at
tend the annual American League
schedule meeting this afternoon. Be-
fore he boarded the train he paused
TO say:
Ward will not be traded under
any circumstances, and if Frank
Chance, at Boston, insists that he
must have Ward. the negotiations
will die right there. However, Chance
may change his mind and select any
Yankee excepting Ruth. Ward. DuG;sn
and Jones. l notice that a lot of per-
sons disbelieved that statement. but
insofar as a deal for Collins goes. it
stands.
Furthermore, if the SoN want one
of our pitchers in the deal, they will
have to give up pitcher. Last win
ter we declined to take Charley
Charley Robertson in such deal
and held out for Ted Blankenship.
Now we are willing to take Robert
son. Chance has Il wide range of
material To pick from and we may
do business. but if he insists on Ward,
Collins will stay in Chicago"
Indications are that the talk in
Boston today will be mostly about
players ana not SO much of schedule

ON BANGOR GAME
PittsfieId. Me-, Feb. s., 1924.

Pittsfield, Me-, Feb. g., 1924.
Sporting Editor:
AS manager of the Pittsfeld a. A.
l wish to make the following answer
TO the unfair and unsportsmanlike
article which appeared in the Mon
day issue OF the Bangor Commercial
This article stated that the score
at the end of the first half was 10
10 IL, whereas the score actual was
- to 10 at the end Of the first ten
minutes.
few minutes after beginning the
second period McCiay called time
and limped to one corner Of the floor,
the whole Bangor team following
MIN. Soon after play was resumed,
SeaVey deliberately picked a quarrel
with Grover, one of Pittsfieid's
huskies who Will weigh less than
Seavey. Shortly after that. Nutter
tried TO pick~a fight with Prescott.
Failing in these two attempts, Tap
ley. connecting With Door. was equal
~ as eager to mix 1t up. In spite of
the fact that Bangor, not satisfied,
commenced holding, stiff arm and
other roughhouse tactics. pittsfield
continued playing clean basketball,
the half ending, score % to ~.
The Five Aces came back begin
ming of the third period but seemed to
have lost their eye for the basket.
SeaVcy and McClay taking clear
shots time after time beneath the
basket but failing to cage any of
them. The last of the third and the
whole Of the fourth periods the Ban
gor aggregation rightfully earned for
themselves the privilege of changing
the team name from the Five Aces
to the Five CUTTERS. We truthfulIy
believe and are willing to wager that
the Pittsiield A. A. will not out
weigh the Bangor team more than
five or ten pounds ut the most. And
Tor plain unsportsmanlike rough
house behavior the Bangor team
beats anything we have met this sea-
son.
