RED AND white TEAM FACING
BUSY SESSIONS THIS WEEK
Brunswick Here Today; Car
diner, Friday - Lapidus to
Oppose Strout in Hurler's
Duel

Cony High School faces the busiest
this week. Today Brunswick, q team
which has been dumping opponents
right and left until they were bump
ed from their perch in the sun berth
by Gardiner last Saturday, will be
here and the game is considered by
the Cony athletic heads as one of the
most crucial of the year
Strout. Brunswick hurting ace. will
start for the down river aggregation
this afternoon and besides being a
hurler he is also a capable slugger
as several teams will testify from
sad experience. With a team that
plays almost errorless ball behind
him the Brunswick star should give
the Red and White a tough battle
to stay on the roof Of the Kennebec
Valley League.
Babe Lapidus first string mound
artist for the locals will step on to
the mound in a desperate effort to
sink the Brunswick crew from sight.
The visitors are too near for COM
fort and Lapidus will have to work
today despite the fact that another
important game is scheduled for Fri
day afternoon. The game today will
start promptly at $3.50 at Williams
Field
And just as il Brunswick is not
opposition for one week. Gardiner,
the only league team to gain the
verdict over Brunswick. is coming up
to the Capital City Friday afternoon.
Cobb, freshman star, whose twirling
for the Orange and Black this year
has been of the sensational variety
will probably get the call. With lap
idus working today it Is probabl
that either HAYDEN or Parquette will
start Friday.
The youthful Hayden made a great
hit with the locals in his first app
pearance Saturday. For six innings
the frail twirler save Waterville a
bewildering assortment of hooks and
benders and is considered a good pro-
position for a part of the game at
least. These two games will prac-
tically decide the status of three
teams in the kennebec Valley
League. Cony is fortunate enough to
be on the top of what now are five
strong teams. The outfits which she
will face for the rest of the season
are no setups and she will have to
show first class bali to stay in the
sun berth. With two strong pennant
contenders as opponents here today
a record crowd at both games.

NEW YORK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in all

New York June 1-(By The As

reactionary today after an opening

of bank loans which sent the call
money rate to five per cent, the high
est in over two months, and the APP
parent failure of operators on the
long side to attract an outside fol-
lowing after a week of steadily ris-
Ing prices, were generally ascrlbed
as the causes of the selling move

on the decline, the days sales aggre-
eating only $4,000 shares, as COM
pared with 1896, 500 last Friday.

the announcement of a cut in high
priced models by a large automobile
manufacturer, contrasted with the

strong nine this spring, with an es-
pecially good group Of sluggers. Be-
cause Of the fact that Walter Morreli.
who has been doing the catching has
left college to accept position for
the summer. Coach Ben Houser will
be forced to make a shift in the line
up. Charlie Deblois, who started be-
hind the bat the first of the season
will probably be shifted back to that
position, while his place at shortstop
will be taken by Larry Maher. Maher
possesses an unusual amount of nat
ural ability as a ball player. but dur
ing the first part of the seas [ when
he was tried out at shortstop showed
considerable inexperience. There is
n possibility. that Captain RED" Rob-
inson will start against New Hamp-
shire for Bowdoin. He has been
bothered with bad arm all season,
but has recovered to such an extent
during the last week or so that he
may be able to do the pitching to-
morrow.

SPORT
CHAT

The Cony track team will go to
Bates Saturday to compete in the in
terscholastics. Cony with a green
team has done wonderfully we'll this
season and should make a good
showing despite the fact that several
veteran outfits will be there when the
first gun is fired.
Edward Little. which has been go
ing great guns all season should
make good showing Saturday and
her chances of coping the meet are
considered bright. Gardiner, the
team which conquered Cony last Sat
urday, is also entered in the meet so
there will be a renewal OF track
struggles between the two natural
activities of Kennebec Valley.
Gardeners defeat of Brunswick
last Saturday was surprising and
may mean lot. The Gardiner team
which has hitherto been strong at
bat but woefully weak in fielding has
found itself and if her team keeps
up its stride the game with Cony this
year will be too close to be comfort
able for either team.
