mains to be seen and depends entire
ly upon how much citizens of Belfast
are interested financially for it has
simmered down to matter of fin
ance.
A committee went to Camden last

it viii be necessary to raise at least
$500 in order to assure the proper
financial backing. as the team while

and Eddie Sullivan, two of the most
enthusiastic supporters of the great
American game, are canvaSSing the

for the schedule to open June 10Th
and close on Labor Day.
Rockiand. Camden and Belfast will
make up the league and three great
err rivals could not be found in all
New England nor three teams who
would take with them a greater fol-
lowing. 1t has been some years since
Belfast, a real baseball town. has
had professional team and there
is much interest in the project.

Cony High school travels to Water

fact that Waterville lost to Skowhe-
gan Saturday while Cony was besting
Brewer in a Suggest, the Cony coach
Is not too confident of whaling the
Watervi!le team by any wide margin.
Brewer, team which had been clean
ing them up in the east, was beaten
largely through the efforts of two or
three Red and White sluggers who
damned the ball all over the lot, but
the infield cracked woefully at stages
of the game.
Parquette, a freshman, worked on
the mound for Cony and pitched an
alright game most of the time he was
in the box, butNhis teammates booted
the ball behind him on occasion, and
because Of this fact the most of the
practice this week will be with the
inner gardeners. The outfield at pres
ent is capable part of the team with
Goode, Fabrizi, Rand, Bell DipIock
and several others showing the goods,
and 1t would not be surprising to see
one Of this heavy-hitting clutter make
the inhelders hustle to keep their po-
sitions.
Fletcher. first string catcher, has
been bothered to a great extent lately
with an injury to his ankle and Eaton,
who works on either end of the bat
terry, may start behind the bat Wednes-
day at Waterville. Ted Lishness, who
made stellar play at Brewer Satury
day, cutting off two runs in the eighth
with peg to the plate, may also get
the call to play tomorrow.
The track team will not engage in
any meets Saturday as the Maine in
tercollegiates will be held at Bruins

CobURN MEETING
CAPABLE FOE ON
LIBBY FIELD TODAY

(0peCld1 10 heHIleDeC JpuIIldtJ
Wterville. May 10.-The Coburn
Classical Institute baseball tiger
team will face the NJ. c. l., baseball
club tomorrow afternoon at 8 O'Clock
on Libbey Field in a championship
game of the preparatory schools OF
Maine. The Coburn tiger has been
working at a better clip in the past
few days and the visitors are expect
ed to be given hard battle. The
Coburn mentor will put up his best
strength against the Pittsfield crew.
Charles Bohn who twirled such su-
perb ball against the strong Hebron
nine last Friday will do the mound
work for the Hainesmen this after
noon. Walter Brinn who has play
ed in the outfield on account of
sore arm last Saturday will be back
behind the plate. William Sullivan,
the other catcher of real ability and
who has been playing around the
first stack will be replaced by Har-
land BeSse on the stack and. Sullivan
will be seen out in the center field
position. This move will strengthen
the out garden considerable as he is
sure fielder and a real batsman.
Second base will be covered by Cap
tain Khoury, with William Norton
in short stop and Harold Gile at the
hot corner. The other two outfield
ers are uncertain and it will be a
last minute decision by Coach
Haines who will start.
The infield was given a snappy
practice by Coach George Stobie
yesterday afternoon while the out
fielders were given stiff workout
by Coach Ted Lobdell and the boys
are ready for hard tussle and are
in the best shape that they have
been thus far this season.

Yale Oarsmen
Face Severe Tests
During This Season

New York, May 10.-(P)-Yale's
rowing fortunes this year apparently
face the severest test they have had
since Ed Leader started the Ellis on
the high tide of success three years
ago.
The championship stretches such
as Yale has enjoyed on the water In
varsity competition three straight
years without defeat and five sue
cessiye victories over Harvard
usually operate in circles. Crimson
supporters, viewing the Ellis close
call against Pennsylvania Saturday,
already are erecting hopes that the
Blue cycle Is nearing its end and
that the Cambridge eight will turn
the tables on their rivals in New
London June IS.
Yale emerged from it's opening re-
gatta with Penn and Columbia on
the Housatonic river with fewer
laurels than at any time since Lead
er became Aead coach. Not only
were the junior varsity and Fresh
men crews decisively whipped but
the varsity combination needed a
whirlwind finish to beat out the
Pennsylvania chew that lost by five
lengths TO the naval academy the
week before
The Yale crew, however, has been
hit by illness and it's supporters are
confident that the development of the
crews will see the Blue again at the
top when the season closes.
Harvard also opened its season
VIGOROUSLY, defeating Princeton by
a narrow margin but 1t will be two
weeks before a real opportunity
arises to compare the relative merits
of the Crimson eight with the Ellis
Both get their next competitive tests

ceton and Cornell on Lake Cayuga

has transferred to Maine to take a

at the Penn relay games and he has
made several unofficial throws of over
203>feet. When not busy throwing the
javelin he is pitching for the fresh

a total of eight hits off his delivery.
Lyden Is ineligible to compete in the
