BEVERLY OPPOSED TO BUS

The Beverly board of trade is op-
between GAINESVILLE and Marietta
according to the following which ap-
peared in the Marietta Register:
The Beverly board of trade today
registered with the Public Utilities
commission vigorous protest
against the granting of fran 'hise
for bus line b.fween Zan sviIle
and Marietta
The board, which claims in it's
petition to number among it's mem
be7s nearly every man in and near
Beverly, says that "the bus line is
not needed in any way" 1t CON
tinues that the people of the Mus

the bus line would parallel either an

want to keep it. The B. & o. now

The petition was unanimously
passed in resolution form by the
Beverly board of trade, and the
resolution signed by f. J. Taylor.
secretary. Mr.. Taylor, when asked
about the petition, said that the bus
line, the plan for which had been
called to his attention, was not a
necessary improvement. Owners of
the present Moose Eye Line, between
McConnelsyille and GAINESVILLE. are
the promoters of the idea. accord
ing to Mr.. Taylor. In stating his
personal objections, he says that
the bus line, in coming from McCon-
nelsyllle to Marietta, would not
pass through a single large town
between that city and Beverly. and
only Lowell and Coal Run between
Beverly and Marietta. Beverly peo-
pie fear that if the bus line were
&llowed to operate, they would lose
the traction service entirely"

Nurmi Shows His Glass In of American Invasion
NuRMI C0NQUERS
RAY and OTHERS
IN Three QUARTERS

Madison Square Garden, New
York. Jan. c7.-(By A. P.)-Paavo
Nurmi won one Of the most specta-
cular victories of his American in
vasion tonight when he won me
three-Quarter mile race featuring the
opening night Of the Millrose Games.
conquering Joie Ray. and three other
rivals.
The Finn not only beat Ray by
ten yards in a brilliant finish after
trailing the latter's pace for seven
laps of the eight lap journey, but
shattered the worlds record for the
distance, which he covered In three
minutes, three and four-flfths Gee
onds.
Nurmi faced probably the greatest
test Of his American campaign in
meeting a quartet of stars over the
shortest distance he has run here.
but with an amazing burst of speed.
removed any lingering doubt of his
ability to conquer this country's best
over any route.
Ray, setting a dazzling pace from
the start with Nurmi last Of the field
OF five. made supreme effort to con-
quer the invader but when Nurmi
snot out IN the last lep, the little
American dropped back quickly in
spite of his most desperate chal-
lenges.
Jimmy Connolly, former George
town star, ran a brilliant race, stay
ing with Ray for seven laps and chal-
longing Nurmi several times but he
also wilted under the Firms wither-
ing pace. Lloyd Hahn, Boston A. A.,
and Leo Lorrivee, Holy Cross star,
were never dangerous, finishing
fourth and fifth.
Nurmi was looking back over his
shoulder as he uncorked the finishing
squirt that put his rivals to rout. This
slight slackening of his pace probably
cost him second worlds record, for
he failed by fifth of 8 second to beat
the mark for two thirds of a mile,
2.43 3-5, held by Connolly.
Nurmfs three quarter mile mark
broke by one and ono fifth seconds
the former record of 3.G5. made by
Ray in 1918. Ray himself was only
two fifths of a second behind his for
mer record time.
It was Nurmi's thirteenth world
mark In the eight races he has run in
this country.

MalOney to Get
Acid Test Tonight
In Portland Bout

Especial to the kennepec JournaD
Portland Jan. 21-Jim Maloney,
New England heavyweight champion,
tonight faces the biggest test of his
career to date. In Battling Nc
Creary he collides with che of the
bst big men eXtant and a decisive
win will send the stock of the South
Bostonian soaring. McCreary has
more ring experience than any pre-
vious opponent Maloney has faced
and in addition is by far the clever
est man he has boxed.
In TRUTH the Portland fans who
flock to the Exposition building will
see the acid test applied and when
all is over will be in position to say
whether or not Bostons latest sensa-
ton Will do. Indications are that the
show which George Loring has ar
ranged for the Veterans of Foreign
Wars will attract a record breaking
gathering. Interest in Maloney is
great throughout New England for
there are many who believe that in
the newcomer as possible successor to
Dempsey will be found.
Both the boxers have arrived in
Portland and appear fit Tor the fray.
Maloney arrived yesterday. accom-
panied by Joe Hambone Kelley, New
England middleweight Champion. He
is an impressive appearing chap,
standing slightly over SIX feet tall,
weighing just short of 200 pounds
and built on beautiful lines. lie is
rather good to look ;lpyn. his fea-
lures not being marr@d as result
of his ring activities. His manager.
John McGrath. and Harry Kelley his
trainer arrive today.
McCreary is also In town and re-
ports that at no time ir his ring
career has he felt more fit to do bat
tie than at present. The dusky NIT
man has many friends helc and those
who saw him in action with Lee
Gates and Punching Joe Mccain
know well his skill as Il boxer and
also are verSed in knowledge regard
ing his hitting ability The Battler
expects to outscore Maloney tonight
When Maine fans stop to consider
that Maloney has only been boxing
professionally since last April they
will more fully appreciate his rapid
rise to fame. AS an amateur he had
been a sensation following his dis
charge from the Unitei states army.
And in passing it might BE- well 10
mention that while in he army Ma
loney boxed a full the round eXhi-
bition with Dempsey. The latter to-
day considers Maloney one of the
best of the crop Of contendcrs for his
title.
Today Maloney is surfeited with
offers to box in various PARTS of the
country. Opponents Of all sorts are
being selected for him and with but
few exceptions are the boxers being
spurned. He's modest and admits
that Just at present he doesn't want
Dempsey Gibbons or Wills. But he
adds they can be Accommodated before
another winter rolls around and the
snow flies once more.

COBURN EXPECTS

|CONY TODAY .
Especial to Kennebec Journal

Waterville, Jan. 27.-The Coburn
hockey team journeys to Augusts to-
morrow afternoon to meet the cony
High sextet in their second game of
the season. That this game will be a
shriller is putting it mildly, as nosbat-
tie between these two rivals has ever
been any tea party. =
In their last meeting the game re-
suited in scoreless tie, but Cobhrn-
ties feel that they had the bettsr of
the argument and only poor ice kept
them from rolling up high score, But
Coburn is an entirely different aegre-
cation today than it was a weeksago
The forward line has been shifted
around somewhat and the passing has
improved SO per cest. The changes
are logical and the team looks to be-
better able to launch a more powerful
offensive than before. Howland.. the
speedily little wing, has been noved
over to center ice while the morerrug-
ged Burnham has been placed at Fight
wing where he can stand a lot Of
abuse and also get the full beneat Of
strong wing shots that every team
needs.

Break Tie with
COburn Pucksters

At AS this afternoon at the Cony
High school rink, Coach Morrclls ice
team faces for the second time this
Season the fast aggregation of puck
pusherS from Coburn Classical Insti-
tute. With the result of the first con-
test in mind. when the Red and White
team hattled the prep school aegrega-
ton to a scorcless tie, the local team
is determined to put forth it's best eff
fort in the meeting today to add an
other victory.
The team has been going at break
neck speed the past few days in prepa
ration for the upriver seXtet. All the
fine points of the game have been
taken up and the faults which were in
evidence in the previous game with
Cohurn have been polished of.
With the fine record which the
team has made as far as the season
has progressed. it is hoped that n
large number of students will be on
hand to witness the clash today. The
game is called late enough to enable
all to attend who wish to do so.

opium board is also cited as of posi-
bic value in finding ways and means
Tor American cooperation in the cleo
ton of the judges of the world court
of justice in case the United States
later decided to adhere to the court.
The idea advanced is that the United
states could sit in with the council
and assembly when the election of the
judges was held. The judges are
chosen by the council and the assem-
bly, voting separately, and to avoid
suspicion that Americas presence
would commit the United States to
league obligations it is proposed that
the Washington government should
meet with the other countries as such
and as an electoral body. instead of
meeting with them as council and as
seinhly.
The wisdom of the United States in
adopting some definite and organized
procedure in league relations also will
arise, according to league officials, in
connection with the question of inter-
rational traffic in arms.
