With the award of the Augusta
City Bowling League championship
trophy to the quintet representing
the James Fitzgerald post, Ameri-
can Legion, one of the best seasons
for the thin pin tumblers in the his
tory of the league was completed in
this city. This trophy bears the
names of the kennebec Journal five
as champions in 1922'23, the first
year it was contested for; the Clerks
aggregation for the season of 1922
"a, and will now be craven with the
name of the American Legion, WIN
ners of the championship for 1871
70, the season just closed.
The trophy is a three year cup,
and must be won by one team three
times before it becomes their per-
manent possession, and the way the
alley battles have resulted during the
past three seasons makes it look as
though the trophy would be good for
half dozen years yet.
-. The past year developed some of
the classiest bowling in the history
of the sport in this city, and to win
a leg on the trophy the war veterans
were forced to hit the thin pins con-
sistently. The American Legion five,
chalked up a high team three string
total record of 144J, and Captain
Hervey Fogg of this years champs
carried away the medal for high
single string of the season with a
score of 1873.
Captain Fogg and Jack McDon-
ough with a seasons average of %
for the twenty match schedule, were
headed only by one other man in the
city league. "Cuffy" Goodwin of the
Y. NJ. c. A. outfit. runners up for the
trophy. The final standing of the
Legionaire quintet was 81 points
won. % lost, an average percentage
of .712.
After clinching the City League
honors, the local veterans outfit cast
about for new worlds to conquer,
and after taking the Gardiner Leg
ion five over for all three strings
and the total in their own little down
river balliwick, the Fitzgerald post
boys went into the Kennebec county
bowling tourney at the County Coun-
Gil meet at the Augusta Y. NJ. G. A,
on the evening of April 3. and came
through with the county American
Legion championship.
Incidentally in that tournament In
their match with the George n.
Bourque post of Waterville, the Au-
gusta sharpshooters established a
new team single string record for the
alleys. with 515, which they tailed
in the final string of the decisive
match.
OF course seasons averages tell
the real story. but besides the con-
sistently fine work of Fogg and Nc
Donough, each and every member of
the quintet has enjoyed his moments
Of glory, and all have been towers
of strength, supporting the structure
which now flies the championship
pennant. Besides the five regulars
shown grouped around the shining
trophy, several other members of the
post have rolled with the team in
some of the matches. Capt. r. j.
Potts has been first string substi-
tute, and in the match for the coun-
ty Legion title, Leland Stacy rolled
in Mike Sullivan's place, and incl
dentally was high man for that
memorable match.

Faculty Bans
Three From Colby
Baseball Squad

Especial to the kennebec JournaD
Waterville. Apr. 13-Old Man
Gloom stepped into the Colby base
BAH camp this afternoon in the form
of inelligibles and took three OF the
most promising baseball players for
toll. The list includes one veteran
of last season whose hitting and
fielding was calculated upon as one
of the most important. The other
two would have made valuable men.
The faculty ban as it fell this af-
ternoon will render Bradley Cutler,
Charles Hannifen and Kenton Nc
Cubrey of no avail in the opening
game of the season against the Uni
verSity of Maine week from today.
The ban is not permanent as all
three men may lift it by catching
up in their scholastic work before
the start of the real seasons work.
1t always seems as though the blow
Of inelligibles falls just before the
opening of the season when the
prospects look the brightest for the
Blue and Gray. AS usual, it fell to-
day about week before the sched-
ule was due to start.
Cutler has played second base on
the Blue and Gray varsity for two
years and is reckoned as one of the
most valuable players that the local
college has. This year he is out for
a position in the gardens and had
left field easily in his grasp before
the ban fell. Undoubtedly, Cutler
will be in the good graces of the fac
ulty by the time that two weeks are
up. Hapnifen looked as though he
had the keystone sack cinched with
his excellent fielding and hitting. He
too should be in good standing at
the end of two weeks time. McCub-
rey is on the pitching staff and he
looked good. He was declared in
eligible because he was found out to
be special student. He will not be
eligible until he has removed two
restrictions and it does not seem
probable that. he will be able to do
this before tSe end of this present
semester.
