Hebron. Me-, May 16.-Monday's
baseball game in Portland between
the Hebron Varsity and Dartmouth
Freshmen is not only to be an or6in-
airy baseball game. 1t is signal for a
general turn out of Hebron Alumni
from all over the State, and espec-
tally those in the vicinity of Port
land. Hon. F. r. Dyer. Of Portland
has contributed great deal Of his
valuable time to making plans for
one of the biggest events represent
ing our school.
Headmaster r. L. Hunt of Hebron
Academy has entrusted the Harmon
Cup, won at the Maine Basketball
Tournament to Mr.. Dyer. that a win
dow of Porteous, Mitchell anu
Braun Company's store on Congress
street, Portland, might be decorated
with it. This is only one Of the pro-
jects Of Mr.. Dyer's to advertise the
game. All the Alumni in the State
have been notified about the game,
and they have been told how and
when they might procure tickets. AL
so, band has been hired for the &C.
casion.
The turnout, however, is not con-
fined to the Alumni, for a holiday
has been proclaimed at the Acad-
envy In order that the students
might attend the game. Arrange
ment shave been made whereby a
special car will take number to the
game. 1t is expected that practically
all OF Hebron will be there.
"Jigger" Kinsley is doing we'll at
second, and is gaining a lot of ex-
perience that should help him along
next year, as he plans TO return to
Hebron for another year.
Shorty Harrington and "Bing''
Wing are the third sackers. The
former will perhaps start the game.
He is an exceptionally fiashy fielder
but somewhat weak at the plate
Wing has wonderful throwing arm
and a fair batting eye.
Fraser, Small and Dwyer. in left
center, and right field respectively
constitute an outer garden that sell
dom let's flies drop in their territory
Small, the speed king of the trio is
one of the best ball hawks in the
State. but rather weak at the plate
Dwyer and Fraser are both danger
Gus batters. For reserve strength in
the outfield, Coach Dwyer can call
on either kelleher or Finn, each of
whom can be depended on to hold his
own.
Pat" Foley is handicapped by a
severe sore arm, but may be used as
a pinch hitter.
Besides MacFayden, Rising and
Brown, two left handlers, can give a
good account of themselves In the
box.
If what Danny" MacFayden did
at the NJ. c. l., game to the batters
Is any indication of his powers as a
pitcher, then the Big Green Fresh
men will have plenty of trouble.
Danny held the NJ. C. I. crew in his
grip all the time. Besides being a
moundsman of exceptional ability,
the bespectacIed lad leads tn eteam
IN batting. He, together with Cap
tain Bearce, jeremiah, and Don
Bailey. are the natural batters of the
crew who should score runs for He
Dron. -Hebron's murderers row starts
with Dwyer, and goes through Jere-
miah.
Captain Bearce will be behind the
bat. He is without doubt the best
schoolboy backstop in the State, with
no exceptions. He gets the best
there is in pitcher. and knows how
TO dope out batter's weakness.
Ion BAILEY, veteran first Sacker,
has hit his stride. He bats left
handed, and @kes an awful cut at
the ball for a little fellow. His
handling of throws from the infield
is faultless. Monday, Don will be
playing in his old home town, as he
is a former Deering boy. Eddie
Jeremith. star all-around athlete, has
been turning in some fine work at
snort this season. His hitting is bet
ter than it has ever been before. and
ne gets more than his share of extra
base hits.
