New York, Aug, ?2-The little domestic comedy in which Rudolph Valentino and Winitred Hudnut Valentino are now starring cuts back to q time when young girl, her heart set on "self-eXpression," over turned the plans of a wealthy family and denantly set out to be an artist.
 In this gesture the girl anticipated by some time the vogue for free dom" and "carcers for women" and "self-eXpression' and all those things that now are commonplace.
 The difference was that this girl was deadly serious. This was no mere pose. Though she readily could have chosen a lcisurely social life she actually went 10 work and has been working ever since.

Dundee May Again
Go Into the Ring

New York. April 9.-Johnny Dun
dee, who some months ago announc-
ed his retirement as featherWeight
boxing champion and departed for
Europe. may meet the man who ac-
quired his throne before another
month has passed.
Madison Square Garden match
makers, thwarted in their efforts, to
pit Louis (kid) Eaplan of Meriden,
Conn. recognized as CHAMPION of
the class by the New York State
Athletic Commission, against Eduard
Mascart, European titleholder, have
led to feverish endeavor to sign
Dundee and kaplan. The bout. If
arranged, will be the Gardens last
fiStic attraction, on May 8.
Mascart, whose American manager
is said to have demanded a percent
age larger than that offered kaplan,
already has signed for bout in the
Middle West and Tex Richard yes
terday called off negotiations in that
quarter. Dundee is said to be de-
sirious of obtaining at least 100000
for his end of the purse in a clash
with Kaplan.
There is a possibility that Mascart,
who believes that Dundee still re-
tains the featherweight crown, will
meet the little Italian in an outdoor
contest early in the summer. Kap-
Ian, meanwhile, is planning to return
to the Pacific coast unless something
worth while develops very soon. =

,COburn Baseball
Squad Have Dull
Practice Wednesday
Especial to kennebec Journal


Watervile, April 9.-Another
blustery day that made baseball al
most an impossibility on the elevated
surface of Libbey Field hindered the
Coburn ball tossers from gaining
much Roadway in the preliminary
practice today. A sharp penetrating
wind blew across the field and made
fly chasing a difficult job for even
the veterans. The boys could not get
warmed up and although Haines had
them go through five inning game
they did not show any too well and
the playing was loose.
Weston and Drnehl as battery for
the Team Is. outfit had their hands
full in outguessing the Team bat
tiers and this outfit garnered quite
handful of runs while their oppon-
ents played weird baseball and
looked weak at the bat. Coach
Haines Is going to have large Job
team that can hit fast pace at the
outset OF stiff schedule. The Co
burn schedule calls for 2l games
and this means that the team must
be going all the time with not much
chance for practice. And what with
only one experienced pitcher to bank
on Hanes' job is no easy one.
However the genial Ike" still
wears that smile that means coolies
Wien it comes TO a tight place and
if he is worrying over the season S
prospects it isn't affecting him a
great deal. Iiaines had worked Won
ders while at the local school, he
| has never had a team finish lower
than runner-up position since his
| regime started at Coburn. From a
I school of seVenty-five boys he has
! put out five championship teams IN
| three years in the various forms OF
| sport and the rest have been teams
| that were nosed out by one or two
defeats. At the outset of last fall S
! football season the prospects for a
| good team were very poor with only
/ four vets and a mental of rockies
but he developed team that went
unsecured on for six games and lost
| but one.
The baseball team Is IN the same
boat but perhaps with little more
water coming up through the bot
| tom. Two injuries already and a lack
| of experienced material is enough
to turn the hair gray on the
Sphinx but athletics sometimes re-
semble the month of March, com
ing in like a lamb. going out like a
| lion, and vice versa. If the Coburn
| team looks poor right now the as
pect may be different by the end of
the month and that slump that every
school is bound to suffer at some
time in it's athletic history will be
STAYED off.

Bowd0in Smoothing
Up Faults Shown
In Southern Trip
(Snecial to dc Kennehec Journal,

Especial to the henneDeC JOuTHdJ
brunswick. Ne. Apr. S-The Bow
! dom baseball team got its first real
practise since the Southern trip to-
day, when a SIX inning game was
played. Means and Hildreth were
the opposing pitchers. The team
showed a great deal of Improvement
since its last home practise.
Although none of the games on
the southern trip were won the trip
was considered very successful. The
primary object of this annual trip
- to give the team practice against
experienced teams, and to give the
pitchers a good chance to work out
against new batters. Both OF these
objects were attained. BoWdoln
played against four very good teams
of which Fordham was easily the
class. This was the first trip on
which it was possible to play all
the regular scheduled games.
Robinson and Gray proved to be
, the outstanding pitchers, although
Ranney looked very good in the last
five innings with the G. G. n. u.
Robinson was at his best in the game
I against West Point. when he al
against Fordham Gray pitched
very good game. Larry" South
wick has been out of the iutirmary
for more than week now, and is
now practising daily. Ills return
will greatly strengthen the pitching
staff. Last year he was one of the
mainstays OF the team, and before
his illness this year he showed a
great deal of promise One bad fea-
ture was the wildness of the pitch
ers, which will be able to be elimi-
mated in the next week or SO by hard
work.
Lords playing at second base was
easily the feature of the infeld. His
batting was greatly improved and
lie played will in the field. The out
field, which requires no changes,
showed up very well.
A game will probably be played
Saturday afternoon against the
Cabot Mills team. This game should
put the team in good condition for
its game with Bates on the 18th.

Lewiston Men Take
Initial Steps for
Team This Summer

Three members Of the board Of
directors Of the lewiston Auburn
baseball association met in Lewis
ton city hall Wednesday evening
and voted to start the ball rolling
for a semi-pro club this summer.
Gilbert d. Harrison, Dennis O'Brien
and Louis J. Brann were the three
directors with Frank A. French.
manager of last years team also
present.
Several others who are confined
to the house by illness or were I'M
able to attend because Of previous
business or social engagements had
notified President Brann that they
team onto the field this summer.
It was decided to start work on
this years team at once. President
Louis ]. Brann will at once get In
touch with the ball players who
have written in for jobs. He will
interview Portland, Augusta and
Waterville baseball officials in view
or arranging some sort of league
or at least a seasons schedule with
the teams that will probably be
put in the field by those three cities.
In addition to these duties it was
decided to visit Lisbon Falls in
hopes that consultation with the
base ball authorities might result in
the Worumbo Mills starting the seas
on with a baseball team.
The matter of daylight saving was
taken up and while no definite ac-
ton has been taken by the mills,
shoe shops and local business houses.
it seemed to be the expectation
of those present that work would
start an hour earlier than usual
and close an hour earlier at night
thereby getting the same result as
by turning the clock back one hour.
This is necessary or semi-pro base
ball will not be able to survive.
At the next meeting it is hoped
that full board of directors will
be able to be present for the asso-
cation is to be incorporated this
season. A dance Is to be run in a
few weeks to raise additional funds
to start the team on its way and
the matter of issuing season tickets
was also brought up at the meet
ing and will be considered when a
majority of the directors can be
present.
