Fast Waterville Team
At Belfast Today
4 snecial .to The Kennebec Journa

Especial to the Kennebec Journal)
Belfast, Oct. 9.-Crosby High is
ready for the big game on Saturday
with waterville. and has been put
ting In some strenuous work under
Coach Warren since the first game
two weeks ago, when Rockland de-
feated her, 1913 in a hard-fought
clean and exciting game. At that
time Crosby gave .Rockland a run
for its money and up to the last
half minute of the game it was no
mans. It was necessary to cancel
the game last Saturday with Scar
port owing to the rain but those
who have seen the men at work be-
lieve that the team is 100 per cent
stronger than when 1t met Rock
land and the game with Waterville
tomorrow should be a close one un-
less the unexpected happens.
The students are hoping for the
same splendid patronage from the
public as it had in its first game for
nothing puts heart into a squad
quite so much as to know that the
fans are back of them.
The game will take place on Nc
Lellan Field and if the weather is
favorable. Waterville will send a
large delegation with her team. Ac-
cording to all reports, Waterville is
coming after the game in dead earn
est and it will be a tough PROPOSE
ton to take it away from them.
Waterville is said to have one of
the strongest teams in Maine and
while they out weigh the Crosby
squad, the latter is confident of put
ting up a hard battle.

COLBY ONLY TEAM
TO PLAY AT HOME
THIS WEEKEND
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Waterville, Me-, Oct. 9.-Colby's
football team will play it's first home
game tomorrow on Seaverns Field.
Their opponent will be the Univer-
sity of New Hampshire. The game
today should be between two very
evenly matched teams If the dope is
correct. Colby's line made fine
showing last Saturday and will be a
feature of the Colby defense. New
Hampshire's backs showed very well
in the first game and should make
some long gains today.
Speed and tricks have been the
basis of Coach's Roundy's drills dur
ing the week., A new set of plays
were given the men at the skull
practices last Monday and Tuesday.
Every attempt has been made by
Coach Roundy to keep his men from
being injured before the State series
games and he will take no chances
of letting his first string men be
injured in the games previous to the
start of the series.
The field has been put into as
good condition as possible but is still
slippery and may hinder the play
tomorrow to some extent.
The team which will start today
will be picked from the following
men: Center, O'Donnell: right guard,
Cowing: left guard, Peacock, Lom-
bard; right tackle, Heal; left tackle,
TUFTS. Keith: right end, Potter,
Fielder; left end, Smith, Callaghan;
quarterback, Erickson; right half
back, MacLean, Johnson; left half
back, Mathers; fullback, Drum

Hebron, Oct. s.-Coach Dwyer sends
his Big Green gridmen against the
Bowdoin Freshmen at Brunswick Sat-
urday afternoon. The Hebron club de-
feated the Bowdoin Seconds 1870 in
the mud last Saturday at Hebron and
are now ready to tackle the first-year
team, which is rated as being far
more powerful than the Seconds. One
of the outstanding players Of the frosh
outfit Is Ham Cakes. Cakes played
center on the championship Hebron
eleven last fall and will face the pres
ent crew in the pivot position.
Coach Dwyer will start Williamson
and Lane as ends; Fraser and Foley,
tackles: Josephson and Manifold,
guards, with Captain Vail at center;

asserted also that wet. cold weather
in the United States was forcing cur
tailment of proposed planting of win
ter wheat. In addition. new private
estimate of the probable domestic pro-
duction of spring wheat this season
made recent speculative sellers uneasy
relative olikelihood of a surprise in
the government figures and tended to
encourage buyers.
Announcement that wheat exports
from North America for hte week
amounted to 100000 bushels attract
ed considerable notice as indicating
either that business with Europe is of
larger volume than has been generally
admitted or that liberal overseas con-
signments are being made. Increased
demand for wheat in store here was
also the subject of good deal of at
tention. Highest premiums yet this
season were paid both here and at ST.
Louis for wheat to be delivered at
once to mills
Routh weather and scantiness of re-
ceipts gave lift to the corn market.
Oats followed corn.
In sympathy with the hog market,
provisions averaged lower.

that it might as we'll be Cony as any

appointed in their hopes of seeing
the first game on home soi:, Old Sol
checked the watery attack and gave
a balmy finish to the afternoon. The
chief encouragement in this. how
ever, was the prospect that tomor-
row and the following two days
would provide suitable. weather for
the play to so on under its delayed
schedule.
The washout provided an unex-
pected welcome rest for most of
those in the warning camps. des-
pite the impatient desire of the COM
petitors to s.eep in stride;sbut it was
especially a blessing in disguise to
Bucky Harris and his gallant cham
pions.
The Senators came back to their
home port with ranks somewhat
shattered and shaken in sustaining
their first defeat of the series in the
second game yesterday and today's
rest presented an opportunity to
consolidate their lines once more. 1t
not only provided an interval which
will permit the two Washington
sharpshooters, johnson and Coveles-
kie. to come back to the firing line
earlier than had been hoped, but it
also was expected to assure the re-
turn to the lineup of Ossie Bluege,
brilliant third baseman, who was
laid low by one of Vic Aldridge's
fast ones yesterday.
Bluege tonight was pronounced
entirely out of danger of any i'll eff
fects of the blow that struck him
down and cast an added bit of gloom
over the Senator camp in the midst
of defeat. An X-ray of the third
sacker's head revealed no injury of
any sort. He was resting easily at
his apartment in a hotel, and ply
sicians who had earlier believed he
could not don uniform again until
Sunday, decided he would be fit and
ready for service tomorrow.
This was the most cheering de-
velopment of the day for the Capital
camp, while the veteran Roger
Peckinpaugh, whose wobbly fielding
had been another damaging factor in
the Senator's defense, also hailed the
rest as chance to shake his fielding
JlnX and get back to a normal gait.
So far as the twirling staffs are
concerned, Harris and McKechnie
both regarded the delay as benefit,
although it did not change, the plans
originally laid by the rival boards
of strategy for the third game. After
an afternoon of deep thinking
among the master minds, it was as
serted that tomorrow's tussle would
find Alex Ferguson, Washington's
veteran right handler, and master of
the screw BALI opposed to Ray
Kremer, a comparative newcomer to
the major leagues but a seasoned
moundsman, nevertheless.
This probably will result in Nc
Kechnie calling on his young south
paw star, Emil Yde, for Sundays
game. Harris, for that day, may re-
ly on his veteran portsider, Dutch
Ruether, although Johnson and Lee
Meadows, opponents in the first
game. will have had three days rest,
enough to permit either to go back
into the fray.
The fifth game now is scheduled
mere Monday, with the scene shift
ing to Pittsburgh for the sixth and
seventh games, if the issue is pro-
longed that far. 1t will be, unless
either team takes three straight
here, and this possibility is regard
ed as remote in both camps as we'll
as among observers who have
watched the closely waged struggle
so far.
