Colby Tracksters
Test Strength Sat.
Against Northeastern

Especial to the kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Apr 2133,-Track Coach
Mike J. Ryan gave the Colby track
men their final touching off of con-
ditioning work this afternoon on
Seavern's field at Colby college for
the first track meet the year. The
Blue and Gray tracksters are all set
for the meet with Northeastern col
Iege, which is scheduled TO be held
on the local field Saturday afternoon
OF this week.
The track men have been working
hard for the last three weeks III
preparation for the coming meets,
OF which the dual meet with the
Boston team is the first. On May >.
Colby will entertain the Tufts track
team in WaterVille for the second
dual meet of the year and the final
meet will come on May 10th. when
the local college will play host to
Bates, Bowdoin and the University
of Maine for the annual Maine In
terCollegiate track and field meet
The first two dual meets which have
been arranged for were done in an
effort to get the local track men into
the best possible condition for the
coming test Of the year, the inter-
collegiate meet.
The coming track meet will be
watched with great deal of inter
est as it viii show the strength of
the Blue and Gray team for the rest
Of the meets this year The real
strength of the Northeastern team is
unknown, but reports have it that
they have far stronger team than
they sent to Waterville last spring
Last year. Colby won the dual meet
with fair margin of points but this
year nothing Is known of what the
Boston tracksters are doing.
Colby viii be represented by
group of real stars, as we'll as some
other track men who are looked
upon to come through in this first
meet. The real strength of the Col
by team lies in such men as Mittles-
dorf, Captain Hearon. Wentworth.
Taylor and McEay. All of these men
should place first in their various
events and several other most prom
Using candidates are expected to place
well up.
The recent interfraternitv track
meet brought out some excellent ma
terial which Coach Ryan is to use
in the Northeastern meet. North
eastern will find that Mittlesdort
and Hearon are two hard men to de-
feat in the 100 and 30 yard dashes
and that Taylor packs some mean
speed in his legs in climbing over
the high and low hurdles. They like
wise will find that Red" Wentworth,
champion with the
3o-pound hammer. will be in his best
form for the meet Saturday and that
it will take some hammer-t hrower
to defeat the Blue and Gray giant.

Tummy Ache as He
Arrives in Gotham

New York, Apr. 23-Indigestion
scored a knockout over Jack Demp-
sey, heavyweight boxing champion,
shortly after he arrived here today
from journey across the continent
with his wife. formerly Estelle Tay-
Tor, motion picture actress. Medical
attendance was found unnecessary
but the champion went to bed at his
hotel, 1t was said.
The attack came after Dempsey
had announced that he had not de-
serted the ring. as had been reported
many times. He also explained that
the rift" between him and his man
ager. Jack kearns, was a myth.
There are going to be couple
or good heavyweight bouts here" he
said, and one of them may produce
suitable opponent for me. Kearns
still makes the matches and | will
not talk about that"
The champion let it be known that
ne and his wife are seriously con-
sidering making their permanent
nome in New York, where they have
many friends.

then on the score kept mounting and
Coburn went to bat in the last of
the seventh with the score II to in

Ragged Field Work
Displayed in Colby
Workout Thursday
Especial to kennebec urnaD

Especial TO kennebec JcurnaD
Waterv1lle, April 23.-Athletic
Director Edwards took charge of the
Colby baseball squad this afternoon
IN the absence of Head Coach
Roundy. who has been called out of
town for few days. Coach Ed
wards took the Blue and GRAY squad
and gave them 4 stiff game on Sea-
vern's Field which lasted practically
all afternoon.
Alter the game with the Cnivcr-
slty of Maine Oh Wednesday, the
men felt the effects of the contest
and the workout this afternoon was
slow and not particularly good to
watch. The hitting of all of the
men showed a slight Improvement
but the fielding for the most bart
was ragged and little team work was
shown on either the varsity or sec
ond teams. Coach Edwards will try
tomorrow to give the intield some
practice work which will take the
lag out of their work and get them
in readiness for the final drive of
the week which will last until Sat
urday.
The varsity scored good sized
win over the Secor.uH this afternoon
but it was only the inability of the
second string players to hit at the
most opportune times that prevent
ed reversal of the score. The
hitting of the varsity showed a
slight change over yesterday but
that was to be expected since the
pitchers used were not as effective
as Thomuson or Trozier and allowed
comparatively free hitting.
The Blue and Gray team is to
leave Waterville probably Sunday
afternoon for Boston, where. they
will make their headquarters until
they leave for Lowell on Monday
noon. Playing Lowell Textile, Con-
necticut Aggies and Wesleyan in
three consecutive days should give
the local colegians a chance to get
some practice before the opening of
the State Series games against Bow
dom on Saturday of next week at
Brunswick.
