COburn Seniors
Trim Juniors at
Interclass Games

Especial to the Kennebcc Journan
Waterville, Me-. Nov. 2S--The Co
burn girls interclass game for the
championship of the school was play
ed here today and it was one of the
closest and the hardest fought bat
ties ever seen on the Coburn court in
a girls interclass game. The junior
girls were leading throughout the
fray until the last few seconds of
play when Thelma Bean, the star for
the winners, shot the basket for the
victory. The final score was 10 to Is
in favor the seniors.
Helen Simmons, the varsity cap
tain and only junior this year. was
the outstanding star even though
her class did not win. She put s
Baskets in and the other was put in
by her teammate, Miss Hodges. Miss
Simmons is without a doubt the best
player at the school and she will up
hold the honor of the past stars as
sIarion Daye, Priscilla Clarke and
others who have been graduated
For the winners the shining lights
were Frances RObarge, Thelma Bean,
L. Murray and Mary Rollins. who
excelled i'll fine passing while the first
two scored the seniors points be-
tween them.
The varsity candidates will not be
called out by Coach Harriet Pearce
until at least a week away because
of the boys 'interclass games. which
will begin this afternoon for the en-
tire week. If it is not possible to

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 10.-For
the first time since he went as a
rookie to the Detroit Tigers, Ty
Cobb, now leader of that team, today
faced the possibility of sitting on
the bench and watching his team
play the opening game of the season.
Stricken with influenza yesterday,
Cobb was confined to his room today
by physicians. who advised him to
remain there at least until Monday.
In that event George Mcbride will
have charge of the Detroit team on
the way home.
Cobb was ordered to bed by ply

arrival yesterday with his team. He
was attacked by cold almost two
weeks ago. he said, and had been
fighting against it since, visiting
hySicians at each city in which his
team played. He encountered the
first symptoms of influenza at Atlanta,
he said.
Cobb's temperature was normal,
though other influenza symptoms
were present, physicians said.

Washington is sorely in need OF q
right-hand punch. 1t has left-hand
punch enough. Harris may introduce
enough right-hand punch to carry the
team along. and If he does he should
drop himself in the batting order.
The team gets too many runners on
without scoring. The Washington
infield is the speediest in the league.
Their combination at short and sec
ond has no equal in base ball. The
regular catcher would be better if
he could hit harder. The pitchers
are surely as good as last year, and
Gregg, a 40-year-old veteran, seem
ingly is the best of any of them.
Yanks Have Great InneId.
The New York Yanks have rip
ping good infield working on all
cylinders, covering a lot OF ground,
with a first baseman who seems bet
ter than he ever has been. The out
field speaks for itself, provided Ruth
is able TO give his usual service. al
though even he is not as dangerous
a batter d 8 he was three years ago.
Combs, the kid who replaced Witt
in center field. promises much His
greatest weakness is the ball that
bends. The team has average catch
ing TO assist pitching corps which
has been strengthened by the addi-
ton OF the best pitcher in the Amer
lean League, Shocker. If he is at
his best and the others maintain their
best individual records, the Yahks
cannot lose. The team IS well handled
by a skillful manager.
The Chicago White Sox. revived.
reinvigorated and re-everythinged
under the leadership of Eddie Collins,
are likely to swing into the first divi-
sion, and once there look out. The
team has a capital outfeld, smash
ing inf1eld, except, perhaps, at short :
it is strong behind the bat and
merely wants little pitching'to keep
it elevated.
Cleveland is the team with the big
stick. Whenever there is a game to
be won by clouting and the Indians
are near by they will annihilate all
opposition. 1t has an outfield of
strength, an infield of uncertainty,
good catchers and pitchers who are
strong physically.
ST. Louis Not Ready.
st. Louis is not ready. The team
has been without a second baseman
all the training season and also with
out its regular center fielder. The in
field is not reliable and the outfield
not up 10 the standard of other out
fields. The Browns are strong back
OF the plate and now sure in pitch
ing.
The Athletics had a chance TO win
the championship until Hauser was
hurt. The team was well equipped
in every way until this disaster over
took it. But to win the Athletics
needs every ounce of strength they
can mass on their infeld, and
Hauser was the major part of their
strength. The race this year is like
iy to be too close to permit any team
to stand such d loss.
