At KennebunkpOrt

kennebunkpOrt, Jan. 2-The Ken
nebunkport Driving club opened the
ice racing season yesterday with an
interesting card consisting of three

more. The ribbon went to Buster III.
David D., owned by Mr.. Jeffries of
Goose Rocks, took four heat battle

The Bangor Chryslers, who for.
merly played and won consistently
under the name of the Bangor Five
Aces, leave Bangor this week on an
invasion of the western part of the
State. The Bangor team, having
played 3O1 games in the past six
seasons and emerged victorious in
275 of them, have pretty nearly con-
WINGED everyone that they are the
masters in the hoop game in the
eastern section and are determined
to annex a few games at the ex-
pense OF the teams in the west. A
trip has been arranged for this week
which includes Bath, Portland and
Auburn on three consecutive nights
and the Chryslers are confident of
returning to the Queen City with a
win chalked up against all three
teams.
The Bangor team Is composed en-
tirely of former basketball captains
of Bangor High school and includes
several or the most colorful players
in the State. The team is coached
and managed by Harry Epstein and
the captain is Ralph Jordan, the
most seasoned veteran in view of
years of service of the entire squad.
Bunny Flanagan, at one time reck-
oned as one of the most elusive for
wards to ever held down a forward
berth for Bangor High school, holds
the left forward position opposite
Jordan. Seavey. although never
originally destined to cover the CEN
ter of the floor in his school days
plays that position very well for the
Chryslers.
The two brothers, Ed and Frank
McClay, keep the guard positions
we'll attended. Ed McClay was a
terror at center in his high school
career and afterwards with several
amateur teams of note including the
st. Johns A. A., which made bas-
ketball history in the east a few
seasons ago. His brother was also a
pivot man for the crimson and was
considered as good as his bigger
brother. Because of the Bangor
method of playing these two players
were shifted to the guard berths
and are generally recognized as two
of the best in the State today.
The Chryslers are undefeated in
any team that has or thinks 1t has
a chance to cop the State champion
ship this year to try their luck
against the Queen City quintet eth
er on their own floor or in Ban
gor. Any teams wishing to arrange
games may do so by writing Harry
Epstein, 142 Exchange street, Ban
gor.

The Cony hockey team will. in the
course of a few days receive uni
forms for the winter. Cony. with
prospects for fast moving, clever
team is as yet unable to SECURE
enough games to fiji out schedule,
Lewiston, Waterville and the Bates
freshmen being the only teams to ar
rang games. The ice game is still an
uncertain proposition at Portland and
Camden and Rockland have not yet
written as to whether or not they
will have teams.
In addition to hockey and basket
ball at Cony this winter the school
will put out track team which will
compete In several indoor meets. The
school will probably engage in a.dual
met with some school in the near fu-
ture.
Portland will put out a fast track
team this winter that would give
Cony a fast go in dual met. Port
land has been conspicuous by its abb
sence on Cony states of late years
and their appearance in Augusta
against the locals would be a wet

LacOste Wins Over
BOrOtra in Tennis
Finals Paris Tourney

Paris, Jan. 3.-((AP)-Rene La
coste defeated Jean Borotra today in
the finals of the mems singles of the
French covered court tennis cham
pionships. 6-1 1856, Us.
Lacosts and Borotra are ranked at,
the top of French tennis as equals,
but experts who witnessed today's
play predicted that If Lacoste con-
tinues to show the form he displayed
today he will be in first place alone
in 1926 rankings.
Lacoste's victory was easier than
the score would seem to indicate. He
played his usual steady -eliable
game, never throwing away a point,
keeping his opponent on the base
line and gradually wearing him
down. Borotra was spectacular and
brilliant, but cratic. He made many
errors, and was exhausted at the
finish.
This is the fourth consecutive de-
feat of Borotra by Lacoste since jan

Cook Shredded Carrots
in Milk for Children

This is an ideal way to prepare them
for children because it is adding cal
cium to calcium for building teeth and
bones. And we believe that you will
find, too, that the grown-up members of
the family who turned up their noses
at carrots before will think that they
have discovered new vegetable when
they taste them prepared in this way.
For family of five you will need
about one quart of the shredded raw
carrots. Use a coarse crater or vege-
table slicer and you can prepare the
carrots In very few minutes. For
this quantity of carrots you need about
a pint of milk. Bring the milk to the
boiling point, add the shredded car
rots, and let them cook gently for from
10 to 20 minutes. Add about II tea
spoonful of salt, 2 tablespoonfuls Of
butter, and serve with the milk around
them. The natural bright color of the
carrots seems to be made even bright
er by the cooking in milk and the flavor
is delicate and sweet. If the milk Is
allowed to boil up while the carrots
are cooking it forms scum and they
are not so attractive.

siderably before they are cooked
through unless protected by coating
Of egg and bread crumbs. Choice
veal, however, is excellent prepared in
this way. 1t is called Dreaded veal.
You simply fry it in deep or shallow
fat according to your preference.
Sometimes veal is dry and tough so
that it must be prepared by method
which Will develop tenderness. For
such veal, season, dip it In -four, and
then cook it in shallow fat until a
crust is formed on both sides. Then
add hot water and simmer the meat
slowly until tender. 1t will be sur
rounded by rich brown gravy. This
gives much tastier meat dish than
another method some housekeepers
use in which they first parboil the veal
and then dip it in egg and flour and
brown it in fat
A little more seasoning is usually
liked with veal than with other chops.
Before dipping in the egg and bread
crumbs or in -four sprinkle each chop
