the inning sent two runs across the

was done after the out had been
made which closed the game be-

Hallowell got the pump on the WISH

Z. of NJ. has uncovered one Of her
weaknesses on the diamond. This is
the inability Of the players to con-
meet the stick with the horsehide.
This defect in the Maine machine
was quite evident in the game against
Providence when the Pine Tree State
team lost its chance for victory time
and time again when the stickmen
failed to come across at the right
moment.
In black and white, Deering High
looks to have the edge on Portland
high in their clash today. The team
has developed a powerful offensive
with a real fast outfield. The teams
only weakness is in its twirlers. Con-
roy and Agger are the best bets to
bear the brunt of the burden and the
Deering coach has been working
with them great deal with that end
in view.
Ray A. Shepherd of Gardiner, track
team trainer, and line coach of the
Andover Academy football team has
been selected head coach of the aca'd-
envy eleven. Ray Shepherds career
il we'll known in Gardiner and vicin-
boys. He made a name for himself
in athletics at Bates College where
he played both in the line and the
backfield. He coached at Westbrook
Seminary one year before he went to
Andover. Another Gardiner product
adds to his already enviable reputa-
ton as high class athletic mentor.
Coach Ben Houser Is pleased with
the way his twirlers are showing UP.
Sibley. Robinson and Gray have
come up to his expectations and he
. will depend great deal on this trio.
The boys have the right delivery and
work well under fire. Ben probably
