WINSL0W OUTFIT
HERE FOR GAME ON
FRIDAY afternoon

Whether Cony High school viii
drop another game or whether Wins
lows perfect record win be smeared
all over the place, is a question that
will not be decided until after the
game on Williams Field Friday The
upriver boys are big, fast and what
is even better than that they possess
plenty of football experience. How
ever, Lewiston was only one touch
down better than Cony on Williams
Field and Winslow win probably
find its work all cut out.
The Cony team will be strength
ened by the return of Hal Fabrizi,
who has been out with a twisted ell
bow. Fabrizi is big and rugged and
in his first, last and only appearance
in the tackle position be played he
veteran Sambatakis to q standstill
Richmond Hayden, dimunitjve sig
nal barker may also be shifted into
the backfeld for the Winslow game.
Lister has been bothered with his
ankles for the past two or three
weeks and will probably play only a
part of the game. The rest of the
team will be the same as usual and
should give Winslow a hard battle
The Conv team has been sort of
uncertain this year, which is a habit
green teams seem to be afflicted
with. Against the veteran Wilton
team they made a splendid showing.
The next week they took Morse into
camp in a rather uncertain game.

Two Will Seek
Alderman Berth

Lewis NJ Mooers and Ralph A.
Stone of Ward Four made definite
statements to the Journal on Tues
day that they would be candidates
for the office of Alderman to the
City Council. Mr.. Stones name was
mentioned from that Office by Alder
man Amesbury the present incubent
last week, but at the time that Mr..
Stone consented to run he was not
aware that there was to be another
candidate in the field.
Both Mr.. Mooers and Mr., Stone are
well known Gardiner men and both
have received assurances of hearty
support from friends who are resi-
dents in that ward. AS yet there has
been no further announcement from
an aspirant to Mayoralty honors,
and DIR. Price appears to have clear
field. Unless a third candidate an
nounces himself from one of the
wards there will be no necessity for
a primary election on November 16.
Papers must be filed by November
?, and the date of the final election
is November 80.

those in the most comical costumes
and two for those that appeared the
best. Refreshments were served in
the club rooms downstairs, these
consisting Of sandwiches, hot dogs,
punch, ice cream, cake and hot cof-

the public and was crowded all the
evening with watchers. At 1890
o'clock the grand march was held
and at this time the dancers I'M
masked. George Manson's Merry

occasion and all were enthusiastic in
their hopes that a similar affair

Gardiner High school Is playing
Skowhegan this week down at Gar

no doubt will give Skowhegan bat
tie royal for the honors

have quite enough work and worry

club is fast and heavy and is apt to
give Hallowell a setback unless the
home team is at it's best
Much favorable comment has been
heard on the changing of the date for
the game between Cony and Winslow
The game will start at $50 Friday
afternoon in order not to conflict with
the state college games Saturday. The
Winslow team is fast and rugged and
the game is sure to be an exciting
one.
Lewiston is playing Portland at

face the toughest battle Of the year
This game between two Of the best

goes, however, it is sure to be some

ton for Cony against Winslow there
will be quite a difference in the
strength of the line. In the Lewiston
