Waterville, May 1S--Cony High de-
feated Waterville High in the first
dual track meet ever held between
the two schools 1922 . Saturday
morning. 1t was an easy meet for
the winners, but in several OF the
events the Waterville boys gave
them some stiff opposition. In the
40, Mitchell OF Waterville set a
tough pace but before he came to the
finish was forced to drop back to
fourth place. AS it was, Letourneau
Of -Waterville COPIED first place.
The Waterville boys have never
had a track team before and on the
whole did very well. but were no
match for the Augusta track men.
IN the dashes 1t was all Cony. In all
OF the dash heats. Waterville placed
only one man. The half mile was a
great race. 1t proved to be a battle
between Howell of .Cony and Bernard
OF Waterville. Howell crossed the
tape f1rst. winner in the fast time
OF two minutes, S 3-5 seconds.
The mile run was interesting but
Lishness Of Cony was not pressed
very hard for first place. Him team
mate Jackson finished a good second.
with, Towne of Waterville third. The
real upset. OF the meet came in the
broad jump. Soule Of Cony upset
the dope bucket by winning the
event. This. lad, who had never
Jumped before, came through in fine
style. He was the last man to jump
and at that time the event was prac-
ticaIly conceded to McLeary, Of Wat
erville. The, Cony jumper came
through with a leap OF 10 feet, Z IA
inches. three inches better than Nc
Leary's best effort.
The high jump was another easy
event. for Cpny. Both first and sec

higher but stepped at Ave feet for

was an easy victory for Waterville

Nicely grouping seven OF their
nine blows in two frames the Cony
boys won over Morse High II to Z
, Saturday afternoon in a game that
I pleased the fans dispute the long
! string of misplays by both teams.
Cony early got to the offerings of
the Shipping City hurler, rapping in
cluster of five in the second,
one in the third and a final barrage
netting five in the sixth. During
these festivities the visitors had
been able to cop only trio of tallies
and came the eighth frame Coach
Thompson with a wide margin of
runs, tossed in a bouquet of baseball
| buds to give them a chance to bios
som, but alas it was a vain hope.
Not only did they fail to deliver, but
their continued grammar school
tactics came near splitting the beans.
During the two cantos the colts were
allowed to canter the invaders took
advantage of the situation and ap-
probably closed the gap in the score.
One shift made in the Cony team
yesterday apparently has proved a
wise one. Reid who has been roam
ing in the short pasture exchanged
berths with Webb and certainly gave
good account of himself at the
hot corner. accepting six chances
clearly and once grabbing a rife
shot off Wilson's bat which nearly
keeled him over and shot it over to
Bradstreet for a lightning double
killing.
Pep Aubin allowed seven singles
and had it not been for costly boobies
would have held the down river lads
scoreless. He accepted five fielding
chances but himself was guilty of
two miscues that counted in the
tallying.
Gregoire and Bradstreet delivered
the most telling blows of the fracas.

double in the third accounting for
three scores. The attenuated strip
ling who guards the initial sack
. registered only one tap during the
matinee. but sweet papa. it sure was
some tap. Leaning on one of Nc
Donald's fast ones he poled the pill
for ride somewhere near the fence
in left center. 1t was probably the
longest hit in that particular terri
tory ever made on Williams field. He
circled the pillows and two other

In Game of Errors

Gardiner, May 17.-Costly infield
hobbies proved the undoing of the
Orange and Black here today when
they lost to Norway by the count
of IS. Both pitchers put up Won
derful game. Allen of the visitors
striking out il Gardiner batsmen.
while Freddy" Davidson, brother. of
Captain Jim Davidson struck out
eight. showing nice line of wares
in his first home game OF the sea-
son. However. the best of pitching
was to no avail, when the team be-
hind him could not hold the ball.
and the battle ended with eleven err
rors chalked up against Coach o.
Brien's team, while the visitors made
six miscues, theirs however, coming
at less opportune tipes.
The locals had several wonderful
opportunities to score but seemed to
lack the necessary punch. and 1t
must be realized that both pitchers
hung up a rather creditable record,
Allen holding the locals to three hits.
while Davidson let the visitors down
with four safe blows. The feature of
the game outside of the pitching duel
was the neat field work. of Tim
Hickey. who made several nice
catches in center staving off runs
each time. Dale offered some pretty
base running in his usual style. while
for the visitors the all around work
OF Allen was the feature.
The team will~go TO Lewiston
Wednesday where they will meet
Jordan High. Captain Jim Davidson
will do the hurting. and it is expect
ed that. the boys will get over their
bad habit of fumbling the ball.

While the Americans played hard

cautioned by him.
1t was a case Of superior physical

HARRY HOOPER

y Outfielder, Chicago White Sox'
Famous for the sensational catches
which he makes, oftentimes saving q

), The only way to become a good
Judge Of fly balls is by long practice.
Tho judging OF fly ball Is really
a lightning mental calculation. Given
the angle. Of elevation. the speed OF
the ball. and the resistance it meets,
you can figure how far 1t will travel.
When the outfielder sees ball start
he judges its speed by the way 1t
leaves the bat and IL 1t Is a little to
the right or left Of him he can get
the angle of elevation. The calcu-
Triton is done in the first step the
fielder takes. and he usually starts
off in the right direction. II his
Judgment Of the speed OF the ball
Is wrong and that first step IL taken
in the wrong direction he seldom re-
covers in time to make the catch.
But once started in the right general
direction, he observes the course Of
the ball, takes mental note of the
wind and regulates his speed and
direction accordingly. 1t Is only by
long practice that the quick start can
be made, and the outfelder who
starts quickly will cover more ground
than a faster man who has not &C
quired this knack.
