been ice, Hebron would have been
represented at Exeter by an entirely
different team, with the exception of

The team that would have faced

Hebron will need all her strength
to face the two visiting teams this

N/EATHER forecasters are ex-
w ceedingly busy with their
predictions for the coming Spring
and Summer. They are talking a
great deal about sun spots, and the
important matter of climate and
weather seems to the lay mind
more and more complicated. What
is it that causes climatic conditions,
anyway?
There is one all-important, basic
factor. Those who live inland will
have much more weather, Of the
particular kind which comes in any
given period. than those who live
on the coast. This is because urr-
broken bodies of land tend to store
up both heat and cold. and to in
tensify both the hot and the cold
periods. The influence of the sun
spots is the latest study Of science.
In the next few years much may
be discovered, but for the present
sun spots are not of much help to

BOLSTERED RED
S0x READY FOR
COMING SEASON

Boston, Jan. 21.-(By the Associated
Press)-Bolstered in the infield and
catching departments as a result of
several deals, the Boston Red Sox will
tackle the job of reconstruction this
year with higher hopes of success than
they had last season, when the club
trailed the American League pack.
The outstanding newcomers among
the ihield prospects are Emmett Nc
Cam. obtained from Portland Of the
Pacific Coast League; Aamon Herrera,
fiashy Cuban star who displayed his
ability at the keystone bag in the clos
ing part OF the 1925 campaign, and
Fred Haney. late of Detroit.
The main battle for infeld positions
centers about second and third bases,
for Phil Todt at first and Dudley Lee
at short last years regulars, are ia
vored to retain their jobs. Herrera,
if he meets expectations. likely will
get the keystone portfolio in prefer
.ence to Mccain or Bill Rogelf, reg
ular most of 1925. Haney will have a
rival for the third base post in Chef
Fowler drafted from Minneapolis.
The backstopping brigade has been
strengthened by the acquisition of
Alec CASTOR. former of the Giants,
from Toledo. Picinich. Bischoff,
Stokes and Bill Moore, Kansas City
product. are other receivers available.
The Red Sox have their veterans,
Elmke, Ruffing, Wingfield and Zahni-
ser. as a nucleus for a pitching staff,
and hold out the belief that they will
continue to go as well in 1926 as they
were going when the season ended.
Delmar Lundgren. right handed pitch
er, has been drafted from the Birming-
ham clubyef the Southern Association.
The outfield is well fortified with

thai and Jenkins, besides two rockies

GARDINER TEAMS
GUESTS OF CONY
CITY HALL TONIGHT

The Cony High basketeers, with
one hard game just out OF the way.
face another that promises to be
just as hard at City Hall this eve
ming when The court crew from
Gardiner High school comes up the
river for one of the annual duels
with the Red and White. The Gardi-
ner team tonight will be playing
without the services of Capt. Rose
but the spirit of the team will not
be crippled to any great extent. The
general feeling that pervades in both
schools is that a wa over each 9TH
,er means more than the rest of the
slate put together.
Gardiner enters the game as the
underdog, a thing which indirectly
counts in her favor. The Orange and
Black has every hing to gain and
nothing to lose In tonight's anne
while the Cony team, with win
over Morse serd them up into q
class with the elect, may be over
confident and if this is the case may
find thnselves on the short end Of
the score.
.Cony will present the same outfit
that has taken over all her oppon-
ents this year and will rely on her
usual deceiving passing game to
count early and often at the expense
of the Gardiner quintet. Gardiner
will have the same lineup hat turn
ed Morse followers pale on the Bath
floor by sensational jump into
form, with the exception of Captain
Rose. Morse, which held Cony to
three point win at Augusta played
Gardiner at Bath and got away to
a start of Is points. Gardiner came
back in the last half and the score
was altogether too close for the COM
fort of the Seasiders. D.
So it appears that Gardiner does
MT need any sympathy or anything
like that for their battle this eve
ming. Both Boys and Girls are play
ing and if the Ccny teams carry off
the honors in both games it will be
credit to them as a harder fight
ing, more determined organization.
Whatever past records and perform
ances signify in other sections they
are of little avail In attempting to
dope the result of Cony- Gardiner
game. The best way is to go and
see it yourself.

Germans Blame A. E. F.

The arrival of the American
soldiers in France in 19l7-19lS was
chiefly responsible for the turn of
the tide in the World War which
brought about Germany's surrender.
Such is the conclusion reached by the
German Reichstag Investigating
Committee. which has just completed
it's five-year inquiry into the cause
of Germany'S defeat. The report of
the investigating committee is eX-
planned and analysed by S. Miles
Bouton. formerly Associated Press
correspondent in Germany and now
Berlin correspondent of The Baltt-
more Sun, in an article in the Cur
rent History Magazine. The COM
mittee found that many factors con-
tributed to the defeat of Germany.
The military units We're weakened by
losses of men and material. Army
morale was reduced by the defeat
ist' propaganda of German In
dependent Socialists. The arrival OF
the Americans. however. was per
haps the most important factor of
ALL" These 1t was who made all
hope of even a stalemate vain. If the
Americans had not come, the war
could have gone on indefinitely"
The appearance Of the Americans.
according to the committee. was of
psychological as well as material
benefit. quite as important as the
arrival of the 10000 fighting men
was the fact that their appearance
put new life and new hope into the
exhausted and discouraged French"
According to Mr.. Bouton. the in
vestigators found that 'the Ameri-
can soldier showed himself to be
brave even when unframed" The
report concludes with the observa-
tton that all possible effort was made
by Germany to secure "a just peace.
