SPORT
CHAT

Immediately after the Christmas
holidays Augusta followers of differ
ent sports should get their FILL, The
basketters of Cony High school open
their high school schedule January s
with Brunswick. The city league
starts the first of the month and with
an eight-team league playing four
games each week the fans should get
well entertained along that line. Harry
Sears will in all probability stage a
boxing show before many days of the
new year have slipped by and his first
shows will mark the return of the old
double skies.
The return of the double six bouts
should be received with joy by the
fight going public. With six rounds
the limit, as has been the case all
over the State in the past few seasons,
it is very easy for the members of the
cauliflower circle to stroll into town,
stall for an even half dozen of the six
rounds and stroll out again with a
few dollars of the promoters money
and not even a drop of perspiration to
show the result of his efforts. The
boxer who attempts to stall through a
double six against AR aggressive OPP
ponent has his work cut out for him.
Another thing which will favor the
longer route is in the event of close
shows, between two evenly matched
boxers who are just getting warmed
up over the six-round distance. Fight
ers like Spider Murphy of Biddeford,
Barney Grant and a host of others are
slow in starting but improve with each
round, and with a single six the crowd
doesn't begir to get real action until
the fading sessions of the bout.
Faster boxers than have shown
their wares here for the past few years
will be used in the next bouts. John
ny Harko, Eddie Thomas, Young
Roonie, Al belmont, Jr.. and several
others of like calibre will be used in
the double six battles.
With the Copy rink now open and
ready for use the harder fans will
turn to the outdoors hockey game for
entertainment. Coach Pierce will have
a fast team built around Captain Pete
Brandstreet and a number of good
teams will be seen in action on the
Cony rink before the season ends. In
addition to the Cony team an aggrega-
ton composed of former high school
stars and few veterans at the anna
teur game will make an attempt to
represent Augusta with a fast club If
the rink can be obtained for home
games.

Fords vs.. Bucks

Anyone interested in racing would
be we'll to place a few bets on the
interesting and unique race being
held by the pupils of the sixth grade
central school. Enthusiasts over
either the Ford or the Buick would
also do we'll to take notice for this
race Is demonstrating anew the good
qualities and general dependability
of both, and lastly the pupils of the
high school and junior high should
watch with interest for this race in
the sixth grade shows cooperation
and determination, they could not be
made to show with either a bride or
a club.
After all this 1t may surprise the
reader to learn that the race Is a
health race put on for the purpose
Of getting the pupils to bed early
and their teeth fixed. The rules of
the race are that all the children
be in bed by nine o'clock or nine
fifteen II a good show happens to be
in town, to drink milk and clean their
teeth every day. Each time they
get a point 1t counts five miles for
their side and every time they fail
to do one of these things three days
in succession or every time someone
fails to do all three Of them for
one day their side loses five miles.
Buick admirers will be cast down
by the news that the Ford is seventy
five miles ahead but can gain some
comfort from the fact that Miss
Stewart, the teacher, believes that
will not long continue to be the case.
The greatest triumph however has
been equally shared. Nearly fifteen
of the pupils needed to have their
teeth vulcanized or something of the
sort and in the three weeks since
the contest started have all been at

Of the city of Detroit and Mayor
John w. Smith have approved the
purchase Of "a more Graham Broth
ers twenty-one passenger street car
type motor coaches, making a total
OF l48 bought from Graham Brothers
within year. This action of the
Commission. taken in accordance
with the recommendation of II. U.
Wallace, General Manager of the De
Afroit Street Railways. was later APP
proved by the City Council.
General Manager Wallace, in
recommending the purchase, stated
that the "a Graham Brothers coaches
already in service have been operated
over 100000 miles and have proved
entirely satisfactory.
The Department of Street Railways
started motor coach operations on
January l, 1925, and have gradually
extended their coach lines until they
now operate over routes totaling So
miles. The new equipment will,
when placed in service, increase the
mileage Of their coach routes by 43
miles, giving them a total of 95 miles.
Trolley cars are operating over 1876
1nles of track, and the 95 miles of
Iew motor coach routes will increase

Glorifed French Toast.

There is a dish that the Spanish call
torrijas, that is a sort of glorified
French toast. It may be that the Span
iards first hit upon this method of US
ing up stale bread and that the French
cooks learned it from them, while we
ana the English, taking 1t from France,
called it French. Here is the recipe for
the Spanish dish. which would, of course,
have to be modified in these prohibition
days. 1t calls for two cups of milk, one
cup of rum, one egg, powdered sugar
and cinnamon or nutmeg The egg should
be broken into the milk and whisked
with the egg beater. Now sweeten
slightly. Have ready neat strips of stale
bread, about five inches in length, the
crusts removed. Dip them into the milk
1t Is then that the Spanish cook dips
them into the rum. They are then
drained and fried in hot lard to a golden
brown. Best results can be gained when
fried in deep fat and removed with a
skinner. They should be sprinkled
with powdered sugar and cinnamon or
nutmeg,
