with him the Salem Witches, always
a snappy club and more SO than ever
this season, due to the fact that sew
eral bench warmers from the Braves
will be on the roster especially for
the occasion.
The Braves can always use good
men and are taking this means OF
finding any hidden talent playing In
the Pine Tree State. The Witches
will be strong enough so that the
players will have to show Their best
to win the decision and if their best
is good enough, tryout with the
National League representatives IN
Beantown will follow. Bill and his
crew are not going to stop in Au-
gusta. They are going down into
the Maine State League and possibly
into the Coast League looking for
their material. Owing to the fact
that some of the men on the Wit
ches occasionally get into the game
with the Braves lineup their absence
from the Braves Is limited to one
week.
Brawders was in this city yester-
day and was on his way to Bar Har-
Dor to consult with Ben Houser' VINO
has sent a lot of boys up to the big
rent Slice HIS COdIllibS "ii'
DAYS in Maine. He will cooperate
with Ben and attempt to arrange
games with each of the four teams
in the Maine League. The team isn't
sent to make money. it is sent to find
players SO it is very probable that
the games may be arranged all right.
During the other. two days OF the
week Brawders intends to look up
Pat French at Belfast and the two
other managers of the Belfast-Rock-
land Camden circuit.
To be a big Lacquer all that Is
necessary is ability. experience. con-

The only way scouts can tell the man

who have gone up recently are George

The newly organized Calumet Club
baseball team of Augusta, will play
Waterville at Waterville next Satur-
day. The Waterville club has been
strengthened and should give the
locals rub for the game.
One week from Saturday Lisbon
Falls comes to Augusta for a game
with the Calumets. The Lisbon team
is rated as a fast club and a good
game should be the result. Manager
Beaudoin was pleased with the OPEN
ing crowd which was present at
Williams Field last Saturday and will
so on strengthening his club with
several good men who are anxious
to play ball.
.. Bill Brawders will look over base
ball talent in Maine for the Braves
next month. Just who will attract

talk among those familiar with Mr..
Goldstein's past lectures OH Ameri-
canism and democratic ideals. The
open forum at the end of the lecture
promises to furnish lively and provo
cative discussions.
Mr.. Goldstein, a convert from So
cialism to Christianity, is interna-
tionally known for his vigorous and
daring opposition to the philosophy he
denounced. It has been said that Mr..
Goldstein has done more to stop the
spread of Socialism in the United
States than any other single man.
For eight years he Travelled across
the country, from coast to coast,
preaching on the street corners and
sidewalks against Socialism. His
talks are always forceful and vivid.
He is the author of innumerable arti-
eles on sociological subjects as well
as author of various books treating
of Socialism. His best known works
are: Socialism,: The Nation Of
Fatherless Children: 'Bolshevism,
It's Cure; and campaigning for
Christ" His books and work have
been lauded by noted men of many
beliefs from President Roosevelt to
Cardinal Mercier.
Mr.. Goldstein's lecture is under the
auspices of Abnaki Council, knights
of Columbus, and Is part Of the gil
gantic campaign against Sovietism
on this continent inaugurated by the
knights of Columbus at their con-
vention in Philadelphia.
