liable to be out Of luck. The Cony
line is particularly strong this year
and has been drilled to stop line
plunging attacks. The linesmen play
low and showed the rams at Wilton
last week that they had the old fight.
So it appears that the advantage,
what little there is, rests with Cony.
The field will probably be wet from
the storm yesterday and this Will
hinder any sky attack which the WIS.,
itors might have had up their sleeve.
The rainy weather favors the rug
ged Cony team and the locals as yet
have not bothered with the aerial
game enough to place all their de-
pendence on it. The game Will start
promptly at 2.30 and 1t is expected
that a large crowd will be at the field
to see the game.
Coach Pierce gave the boys skull
practice yesterday afternoon and also
added that if a man acted nervous in
the game today as was the case last
Saturday, he would come off the field
rather rapidly. The coaches are con-
fident that the team will show much
improvement over the Wilton game
and if defeated will offer no alibis.
The Cony lineup will be as follows:
Hayden, lie; Brann, 1t; Baker. le:
Bilodeau, c; Hunnewell, rg: Diplock,
TT; Coakley, re; Capt. Hilton, OBJ;
Rand. rh: bennett, III; FabriZi, fb.
Phillips of Bowdoin will referee,
Kennedy of Springfield will umpire
and Overlook will be head linesman.

Reports on Death
Continued from Page One)

The report read yesterday by Mr..
Fisher was in part as follows:
William futile, employed in a
gravel pit in Belfast, was killed in
a gravel pit cavern on Tuesday,
Sept p, 1926. The gravel taken
from the pit was being used in con-
structing a third-class highway in
Belfast. Yesterday 1 saw this pit
and talked with the men in charge.
The pit has a head of about 40 feet
and is about $50 feet in width. At
the present time in the spot where
the gravel slide took place the loose
gravel extends from the face out
ward a distance of nearly 20 feet
and slopes backward and upward
to a point about 10 feet from the
top. The gravel where Mr..
futile fell was stained with his
blood. Back of this blood stain
towards the pit was a hole two feet
deep which, l was informed, was eX-
cavaued in order to remove another
man who was covered by the same
slide but not seriously hurt.
At the time of the accident the crew
in the pit were loading gravel into
a truck which was backed up to
the loose gravel. William futile was
shoveling gravel into the truck. He
was probably Is feet from the face
of the pit. The top of the pit about
four feet deep is of clay. A piece
of this clay weighing about ton
at the very top of this pit 40 feet
above the heads of the men working
broke off and rolled to the bottom.
In it's course it struck William Tut
tie, knocking him against the truck,
went along the side of the truck.

80 feet away. Tons of loose gravel
came with this clay"

Cleveland, Sept. 24,-P)-Cleve-
lands pennant hopes f1ickered to-
day when Rommel outpitched Uhle
and Philadelphia won the first game
of a scheduled doubleheader. 8 to 1.
The second game was called at the
end of the second inning because
of darkness followed by q heavy
downpour of rain. A doubleheader
will be played tomorrow.
Rommel and Uhle each allowed
nine hits, but the Philadelphia hurl-
er kept his better scattered than
Uhle. The Athletics punched dou-
BILE by jenkins and singles by Hale
and simmons after two were out in
the third for enough runs to win.
Philadelphia backed up Rommel
with three double plays. Score:

He concluded: "It is very doubt

KAY JAY
SPORT
CHAT

The football season is officially
open. Today nearly every high school
i'll the State Will be playing some
where. Maine and Bowdoin are
starting their seasons this afternoon
with Bowdoin starting against Boston
University and Maine with her Gus
tomary victim, the football team from
Fort Williams. Maine should win her
game against the soldiers very easily
but Bowdoin is apt to find the going
rough against the Terriers. Incident
ally the Bowdoin team will introduce
the 40-play per period style of football,
so the result of their efforts should Doe
interesting.
Another thing which fans will watch
at Brunswick will be the kind of plays
the Bowdoinites will use. The will be
interesting to note whether the plays
are built around Harrington as they
have been for the past two years. If
they are, the college is due for hard
season Harrington is one of the best
backs in the state but he stands little
chance with II men watching him. If
the plays are varied, with Harrington
used not too often, the Black and
White should be right up there in the
fight all the season.
Hallowell is playing Madison at
Hallowell and this game will probably
by the closest game in the valley, with
Madison given the preference because
of her record last year. Hallowell,
however, has a fast team and may
spring q surprise. Gardiner should
wallop Camden despite some last min
ute changes in the lineup which she
was forced to make.
Waterville is playing against Lew
iston and, despite the fact that Lew
iston has slipped a little, the Spindle
City crew should win by a decisive
margin. Pat French's club is weak
ened by the loss of several veterans
but his material is perhaps as heavy
as any in the State and should wallop
the Millett crew in way that will
leave no room for argument.
Cony and Morse are apt TO have a
rugged battle deciding just who is the
victor If Cony plays the brand of
football she is capable of playing the
game will be easy for the Red and
White, and if she does not, Morse may
carry a scalp down the river. Cony
should win by at least two touchdowns
if she intends to have a State cham
pionship contender this fall.
