FIRST CASUALTY
ON BLUE AND GRAY
BASEBALL OUTFIT

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Mar. 19-The first in
jury of the preseason training at
Colby was reported yesterday when
Daniel j. Shanahan, '26, of Forrest
Hills, Mass, the logical man to fill
the shoes of Johnny" Lanpher be-
hind the bat on the Colby nine,
sprained his ankle while working out
in the college gymnasium. The exact
extent of Shanahan's injury has not
been determined but ne is laid up in
his fraternity house and unable to
walk at all.
While partaking in stiff setting
up drill, Shanahan tripped and fell
heavily on his ankle which twisted
and sprained lit badly. In all proba-
bility he will be out of the training
work until the middle of April. His
loss will be severe one to the rookie
pitchers as he is of the highest cali
bre when it comes to getting a prom
Using looking hurler into condition.
Last season, Danny played practic-
ally the entire season in right field
and was a valuable man to the Blue
and Gray nine. He had a great eve
for the ball and carried a powerful
and often-used swing at the ball
which landed him high in the Colby
batting list. When Lanpher was hurt
in the Maine game, Shanahan was
pulled behind the plate and played
the final Bates game which meant
much to the Colby nine with excep-
tional skill. Some are of the opinion
that Danny will outshine Lanpher af-
ter he has had more experience be-
hind the bat. In connection with
the baseball season, Manager William
w. Hale. '25, of Caribou and c. Harry
Edwards, director of athletics at Col
by. will make journey to Augusta
tomorrow morning to take in a meet
Bates. Bowdoin, Colby and the Uni :
versity of Maine. The main purpose
CT the meeting, which will be held at
the Augusta house. will be to select
officials for the state series games.
This idea was adopted last spring
and worked out very successfully.
Each college chooses one man who
acts as head umpire at the home
games and as assistant when the
home club plays away The Blue and
Gray authorities will again select
Harry Lord to call them this season
as the Portland eX-star did great
work last year. Manager Hale and
Director Edwards will leave Water
vile on the nine o'clock train. taking
lunch and dinner ut the Augusta
house with the representatives from
the other three Maine COLLEGES

After the session a statement was

1.-The attorney general Is glad to
call attention to the fact that the
two witnesses called today by the
committee were both men Of excel

der the class Of discharged en-
ployes of the department of justice
or discredited and malicious critics"

Sr, distinguished and well known
lawyer of Galveston. Tex. while he
disagreed as to the character OF re-
lief which ought to, be afforded IN
the matter of so-called home build :
ers associations and three per cent
loan companies yet, nevertheless,
his. testimony both direct and on
cross examination showed that the
department of justice was guarding
the interests of the people against
loan sharks and blue sky promoters
TO the very best of it's ability.
THE testimony Of Inspector Daw-
kins. Of the postoffice department
corrected several mistakes in the
testimony of Captain Baldwin. who
testified some days ago and relieved
the department Of some criticism to
which Captain Baldwin had sub
jected it.
THE attorney general is sure that
whenever reputable, fair and impair
tial witnesses are called before the
committee, who have knowledge of
the facts. the department will be
indicated and his administration
thereof commended"
