Watervine, April 1s--. snappy six
inning baseball game was taken on
this afternoon between two picked
teams at Colby college for the Sec
ond time in less than a week. Coach
Parent selected two mines ana after
an hours hot workout in batting and
nelding practice, the two teams lined
up and indulged IN hot sesSion
which lasted until the SUN was well
down In the west.
The practice game today was con-
siderably different from that which
Coach Freddie Parent sent his char.
ses through last Saturday afternoon
and there was some classy bail play.
| ing by members Of both the teams.
In spite OF the cold wind which swept
across the athletic field all afternoon,
! the men took their workout in excel
lent style and at the conclusion Of the
practice game, Coach Parent stated
that he was better satisfied than he
| had been all spring.
The game was nip and tuck all
along with the so-called seconds
leading their more experienced rivals
by couple Of runs until the last
frame when the first-team men
crashed through. and aided with sew
eral bad errors on the part OF the Sec
ond string men. gained q one run
victory over them. There was some
fast fielding on the part Of both m
fields and the general work of the
two teams showed q great improve
ment over their work of last Sat-
urday.
Practically all of the hurlers were
used by Coach Parent this afternoon
| in order to give them all a brief
workout and keep their arms In the
best condition possible. Each Of the
six pitchers were used two innings
! and all were fairly effective. Porter
and Muir looked mighty good on the
| mound for the first and second teams
| respectively and both of them had a
good day, striking out a number Of
the opposing batters with apparent
ease.
Tomorrow afternoon Coach Parent
| intends to give all of his charges a
good afternoons workout In batting
| practice and fielding and then will
! again stage another practice game Of
, three or four innings between two
picked teams Friday as the last
workout before the Maine game on
| Saturday afternoon.

| will face the University of Maine
was obtainable through watching
the workout this afternoon. I'm
, doubtedly several Of the positions
will be the same in the opening game
/ as was the lineup last season. Shan
ahan will do the receiving honors be-
hind the plate and should go big. He
Will oome as clean up man on the
batting order and with any men
ahead of him on the bases, there
| should be run or two in on a hit
| by the former Edward Little star,
MCGOWAN will play at the initial sack
as he did last season and will be
well upon the batting order. Mac
| has been going well in practice in
| the field but has not as yet got his
batting eye back from the winters
] vacation.
I Without doubt ''Brad" Cutler will
| be on the keystone sack with his
| running mate Captain Fransen at
short. These two Lynn players are
work together like a million. Both
arc we'll up on the batting order and
are hard men for a rival pitcher to
| face. The third base position is a
hard one to make a stab at for there
are couple of men who look good
to date, Carson and Smart. In the
gardens there will probably be Fa-
! gerstrom at center. Howard at left
! and Ev Fransen on the extreme
right side of the field. All three Of
| these men have been looking fairly
| good in practice but have not reach
/ ed the batting pitch which Coach
Parent hopes that they will before
| to middle of the season.
