C0NY-DEERING
GIRLS To CLASH
this AFTERNOON

The odds seem TO be about even on
the Cony-Deering game this after
noon at City hall. The Cony girls
have not such an imposing record as
have the Deering girls with their IL
straight wins, but SO fast have the
locni lasses been improving that they
are expected to keep the visitors in
hot water all of the time. Whether
Cony wins or loses they will put up
the battle of the year and those at
tending will see game, spelled with
a capital &C
Deering won from Cony early in
the season by a score that was with
in one or two points of that made by
Portland in winning from Cony. Last
Saturday Cony reversed the decision
on Portland by a good score. They
look upon this as an indication that
they will be able to administer the
same dose to DeerinS and if they are
unable to do so it will not be because
they failed TO try.
The game is called for 2 o'clock
and as this is the last game of the
Cony basketball season a large crowd
is expected~to cheer Cony on to vic
tory and a glorious finish to their
season,

Wasps and Bees Know CoIor-Have
avorite Shades

Wasps have q keen sense Of color.
Lord Avebury placed colored paper
over a wasps' nest with hole to al
low free entrance. He constantly re-
moved the papers to various dis
tances from the nest, replacing them
by others of different colors. The
wasps flew to the colored papers to
which they had become accustomed.
Bees, too, have a very keen sense
of color, and the ability to discrimi-
nate between variations in shades.
Blues are favorites, including pale
blue and violet, and though purple
reds are visited and in favor. yet
scarlets are disliked. Yellows or
greens are passed by as flowers OF
In some of the delightful rural
spots in England, people still believe
that bees are interested in world al
fairs, especially when these affairs
affect their owners. Failure to In
form the bees Is a serious breach OF
confidence. so grievous, indeed. that
they are liable to die of disappoint-
ment!
To prevent disaster, it is custom
ary to visit the hives and tell the
news: to decorate them on feasts and
holidays, and on the occasion of a
marriage or alb irth, to use colored
cloth, whilst death puts the bees
into mourning and black crepe is
fastened to the hives. Good news or
bad, the owner taps three times and
tells all he can. 1t Is always better
to use the front door key to tap

absences from the high school class

that the belief had been expressed
that truancy was prevalent.
Mr.. BlSrill made a personal inves-
hgation of the situation in the high
school and also in all of the gram

and the west side two.
The tug of war contest between
the men was a draw, each side WIN
ming one match The east side clean
ed up on the alleys, both the ladies'

In craftsmanship the west side had
the advantage and won the match.
The final standing in the contest was
East side six points. West side three.

PRELIMINARY MEET
INDICATES AUGUSTA
TO HAVE BALL TEAM

The old spring fever got to them
and they could not resist, so a group
OF the real original cast iron ball
FANS got together Friday night at
the Elks club and talked over the
baseball situation in this city from
all angles. The attendance was not
sut1cient to warrant going ahead
with venture of this nature but ar
rangements have been made for an
other meeting on Wednesday next
and in the meantime those present
Will talk it up to the other fans of
the city so that a real constructive
program will be mapped out at that
meeting. without doubt.
President Byron Boyd of the Au-
gusta Baseball Association was in
charge of the meeting and explained
the situation to the boys. He stated
that last year the Association paid
up $500 in back bills. 1t seemed to
be the unanimous opinion that a
player manager could be secured
who would give entire satisfaction
and at the same time save the club
around $1,000 in salaries and addi-
tional expenses incurred by having
an extra man along on trips. There
fore on the face of these figures it
seems that the club could be con-
Quoted for nearly $1,000 cheaper
this year than last.
The possibilities Of an Independent
team composed OF local players as
far as practicable and with outside
talent from this section of the State
to compose fast aggregation of
ball tossers, was talked over.
Squanto Wilson was mentioned as
player manager. with Eddie GirouX
of this city, Dave Masterman OF
Winthrop, Eugene MaSciadri of Hal
lowell and others well known and
liked about this vicinity to round
| out the team.
While teams are expected to rep
resent Lewiston, Lisbon Falls, Farm
ington and Portland, some of these
teams have not been formed as yet.
of some or all of these teams and If
| if team is decided upon.
The next move is up to the fans
of the city. The real addicts of the
| game have started the ball rolling
but a small group cannot do the
work, it is necessary to have a good
sized backing. Announcement of the
coming meeting will be made next
Tuesday evening at the boxing match
which is to be given by Harry Sears
and it is hoped that many will be
present on Wednesday evening.
In connection with this move to
start team again this year. the Of
| fer of Promoter Harry Sears was
talked over and received much IA
vorable comment on the part OF
those present at the meeting. Fro
| motor Sears has declared his Will
| ingness to stage a benefit bout Tor
the baseball team, If Augusta oe-
cides to have one and the nest egg
that would be secured by such a
bout would help things along IN

When Ice Leaves Cobbossee

Much speculation Is rife at the
present time as to the time which
the ice will leave Lake Cobbossee
and there are q number of author
tiles on the subject in the city. f.
b. Hill of the local postoffice force,
has q reputation for veracity and he
claims that the ice will leave that
particular body of water anywhere
from five to seven days after it
leaves Haynes pond on Western ave-
nue.. He claims 1t has not been
known to fail, for the last five years
at least. Judging from the appear
ance of the little Western avenue
pond. the ice will leave there In
