'CONY-ALUMNAE
CLASH Will START
AT THREE TODAY

This afternoon promptly at o'clock
the Cony High school girls team will
face team composed of the pick OF
the graduate basketball players of the
school. The school team, coached by
Jimmie Comedian, is reputed to be a
fast-moving, misunderstanding organ
ization and in the general opinion they
will have to be as good as reputed to
give the alumnae a setback.
Leuchter and .Getchell, one of the
best working center combinations ever
seen in girls basketball in this part
of the State. will play for the grad
yates and will give the school team
plenty to worry about. To add to the
troubles of the school team, Hussey,
holder of the State record for goals
from the floor, will also play with the
alumnae. Miss Hussey gained her title
as the scoring ace of Maine by dump
ing in matter of 2S of 20 baskets a
few seasons ago and feels capable of
duplicating the performance at the ex-
pense of her former coach and team.
Miss Hussey shoots from any angle or
with one or both hands with equal ease
and accuracy. The three players al
ready mentioned will be supported by
a capable group of players in the
guard and forward positions.
The school team will probably start
with Moulton, Kinsman, Hunt, Gilmore,
Priest and Thorne and will have a
large squad ready to take their place
at any moment The high school will
present a good team and will make the
alumnae work before carrying away
the best end of the decision. The game
will start promptly at 3 o'clock and
there will be no admission charge.

EVERETT SCOTT
PREPARING TO
Leave BASEBALL

Washington. Jan. /. (AP)--
Everett ("Deacon") Scott. substitute
inf1elder of the Washington Ameri-
cans, who holds the major league
record for consecutive games played,
has decided to end his baseball days
and devote himself to his recreation
parlor in Fort Wayne. Ind.
Because Of his status as ten year
man in the majors, Scott cannot be
sent to a minor league club. and II
the Washington manager decides to
give him his release, 1t will of nee
essity be unconditional. President
Griffith has intimated that he will
not stand in the way Of Scott II he
desires to devote his attention to his
business and look out for his own
future.
Although SCOTS name remains on
the roster of the Washington club,
his severance of relations with or
ganized baseball is anticipated be-
fore the Senators go south for spring
training.

BUFFERS TO have
THEIR CHANCE CONY
| HIGH HOCKEY RINK

Local hockey enthusiasts who still
delight in welding the stick and
chasing the puck once in a while,
will have that privilege twice a week
during the season, as a result of ar
engagements which have been made
with Principal Everett V. Perkins of
Cony High school, Erskine p. Noyes.
one of the dyed-in-the-wool hockey
fans has talked the matter over with
Mr.. Perkins and with Percy Jarvis
and as result the hockey ring at
| Williams Field will be turned over
to the boys each Tuesday and Friday
night from z o'clock to $3.50 o'clock.
Any one who likes to play the game
will be cordially welcome on the ice
at those times.
SANDY" Noyes said Friday that in
the event that enough men responded
so that four "Duffer" teams could be
| formed, "Duffer" league would be
organized as, was done two or three
years ago and a series Of games
would be played. At any rate there
will be some snappy scrub games go
ing on at the Cony rink two evenings
! a week..
There is also the possibility that
| enough good material may turn out
o that it be deemed feasible to form
an Augusta Hockey team from
among the best players. This would
add interest to the game and would
bring some fine teams here during
the winter.
If the crowd on the rink is of suf-
fcient size, the hockey rink will be
! turned over for general skating
promptly at $3.50 each night. so that
, those who want to play the game
should get to the rink at sharp.

made six yards around left end. A
forward pass. Grange to Sternaman,
Melted 80 yards.
The former Illinois star was out of
