Kents Hill, Jan. a9-The basket
ball squad at kents Hill has been
working this week particularly for the
games with Coburn Classical Institute
and Abbott School Friday and Satur-
day, respectively. The work today,
however, will naturally be light.
The seminary squad has suffered
from an unusual number of handicaps
this season. on account of former
Coach Grayson's resignation no games
could be scheduled before the Christ
mas holidays and Coach Glavin has
naturally needed time in January to

Of last years letter men were avail
able and there were only two substi-
tutes from last year who had worked
together. The new material Is alert
and fast. but is very light.
The team has had only three games
this season, with Maine Central Insti-
tute. the East Maine Conference Sem
mary at Bucksport, and the University
of Maine Freshmen. All of these
teams have had the advantage in
weight and experience but they have
all had to work for their victories.
Outstanding players on the team are
Burns at forward to Klrvan at back.
Burns is former Lincoln Academy
captain and is active and intelligent.

has been elected captain and is the
heaviest man on the team. He is eX-

The game with Coburn will be play
ed in Auburn Hall and with Abbott in

C0NY TEAMS WILL FURNISH
ACTION IN CLASHES TONIGHT

This evening at eight o'clock
Coach Jimmie" Comedians hoop
charges will trot onto the
polished surface at the City
Hall to face a quintet from Bruns-
wick High school. Fans who t.
tend will be assured of four periods
crammed with action from the blow
of the first whistle. as the game is :,
to be handled by Coach Eddie
Roundy. of Colby college, who has
given the fans such satisfaction in
the recent games played in this city.
This will be good news to many To-
cal followers Of the sport. as he has
done more than any other individual
to make the hoop game popular
with the spectators. by his refusal
to slow up the game needlessly, but
at the same time eliminating all
rough play bv forcing the players to
play the ball and not the Individual.
Cony hopes to get away to a win
in the battle this evening. The team
has been coming fast since the start
of the season and the defeats thlt
they have met have been at 1he
hands of four of the leading quin-
tets in the State. The passing game.
which Coach Comedian has been &C.
veloping, has improved a lot. Much
stress has been laid on one of the
faulty spots which has shown up
in the various contests. that of the
playing of the individuals.
Following are the ones who prob
ably will be given a chance to work
for Cony this evening: Capt. Burns,
Stiles or Nickless. If; Overlook or
Fletcher, IF; Trask, Flummer or
Nickless, c; Lapidus, rg; and Glenn

Governor Brewster said in part:
Every considerable interest is be-

in possible activities calculated to ex-
pand our resources and development.
A splendid spirit is being shown
among a very large number of our
designed to help. This places a con-
siderable responsibility upon those
organizations that must naturally
lead in movements of this sort. of
which the State Chamber of Corp-
merce and Agricultural League Is one
of the chief. When enthusiasm is
developed there is equal danger of at
tempting too little or too much. We
shall probably all be benefited If we
take certain definite conservative con-
structive lines Of activity and agree
to hew to them for a time. In union
there Is almost irresistible strength.
There seems to be general agree
ment throughout our State today that
we shall grow very greatly and add to
the prosperity of all If we can per-
suade Maine people to use Maine
products and at the same time attract
increasing numbers of people to our
midst.
THE State Chamber Of Commerce
and Agricultural League is devoting
itself very definitely to the first of
these matters at this time and is ren-
dering a great service thereby. Every
day brings fresh Illustrations of the
unfortunate system that sends cross

CHICAGO NATIONAL
CLUBS PROSPECTS
TAKE A BOOST

Chicago, Jan. 29-(By A. P.)-Ac-
ouisition of three sterling veterans
from Pittsburgh, the recovery of a
trio Of Cub players, whose injuries
crippled the team last fall, and the
signing of George Gibson as coach
ard assistant manager to handle the
1G pitchers on the clubs roster has
boosted the pennant prospects OF the
Chicago Nationals for the 1925 sea-
son, according to President William
Neeck.
The three players who came to the
Cubs in exchange for George Gran
than. second baseman: Vic Aldridge,
pitcher, and First baseman Bert
Neihaus, a former Southern Associa-
ton PLAYER. are Wilbur Cooper. de-
pendable left hand pitcher, Rabbit
Maranville. a steady second sacker.
and Charley Grimm. high class
first baseman. The trio fit in well as
the club was considered weak in
these positions.
Grimm plugs the hole at first base
for the first time since the passing
of Ray Grimes who was sent to the
Pacific coast With Meanwhile at
the keystone sack and acting as field
leader. the infield has stability 1t
has not had in recent years. Maran-
willie is a good batter and is rated as
one of the best second basemen in
the league The addition of Cooper
gives the club the services Of one OF
the best southpaws in the game.
Charles Hollocher. shortstop. who
was sick last year. says he will be
able to return to his old position this
spring. He was granted permission
to escape the training trip to Cata-
lima Island.
Barney Friberg. who suffered a
broken leg last season. which forced
him into retirement, has fully re-
covered. He is one Of the best third
sackers in the league. The Cubs also
obtained Clarke A. Pittenger. rangy
infielder. from the coast league and
he may be inserted at short or even
at third if it Is decided to shift Fri
berg to the outfield. In case Friberg
is sent to center field. the Cubs will
have one of the best outfields in the
league.
Cooper, Grover Alexander. Vic
Keen and Tony Kaufman give the
Cubs a strong quartet of moundsmen.
Alexander and Cooper are veterans,
but steady workers. Keen Is col
legian who showed fine form last sea-
son, while Kaufman. a Temperament
tai star, possesses a brilliant assort-
ment of pitching wares.
In addition to these four twirlers
the club has about dozen others.
