Ban on Walker, Due
To Troublesome Toe

New York, Jan. S.-(AP)-Mickey
Walkers troublesome toe is still in
an official sling.
Despite evidence of his physical
fitness, the state athletic commission
today refused to lift the ban against
the welterweight champion to per-
mi him to go through with his
match against Tommy Milligan
British titleholder. at Madison
Square Garden, January %.
Walker appeared personally be-
fore the commission to demand that
the commissioners examine his toe,
which he contends has fully recov-
cred from effects of an operation. but
the boxing solons decided to stick
to their ruling against the cham
pion without the aid of medical re-
ports.
William Ames of Clifton, Mass,
manager of Milligan, also protested
against the commissions verdict,
contending that Milligan had spent
$500 in coming to this country and
fitting himself for the match but his
only satisfaction was promise the
board would aid him in obtaining
new opponent for Miilfgan on the
22nd.
Gene Tunney, now in Miami Fla,
was advised to fulfil his agreement
to meet Jack Sharkey. Boston heavy
weight. at Madison Square Garden,

Bath, Jan. S.-The Bath A. c..
basketball team with the fastest five

against it arranging games. With
victories over the Portland A. c.,
and the Clayton Post of Auburn, there
remains but one leading team for
Bath to tackle and that's the Bangor

COburn Athletic
Teams Swinging
Into Practice Grind

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Jan. 8. - The Coburn
hockey squad received it's first work.
out Of the season under the direc-
ton of Coach Paganucci on the CO.
burn rink. The coach got his men to-
gether and explained several funda-
mental points on the game and then
picked two teams in which most of
the afternoon was spent on being
able to check a man coming down
the ice with the puck.
The entire squad is yet to be in
creased with several other members
coming out within the next few days
ad this will brighten up things on the
hockey team. At the present time
not much can be said of the team
until the work has gone under way
and things are in full swing. The
boys will be on the ice this after
noon and the work will continue to
be hard until the boys are in the
best of shape. The practice will be-
gin at o'clock on the Coburn Hook
ey Rink.
The Coburn basketball team has
been hard at work all this week and
the boys of the polished floor are
coming at a fast pace. The squad
has been increased to two more
members and these boys are also ex-
perienced, making the positions on
the court much sitter. This will
make the boys fight much harder for
their positions.
Coach Lobdell and Captain Mar
toski are working their men to the
utmost and the men will certainly be
in the best of shape next week when
their first game will come and here
the test of the team will come.

RumOrs of Trade
AS McGraw Returns
From Florida Lands

New York, Jan. S-(AP)-John
McGraw's return to his desk in the
New York Giants offices after a hur-
ried trip to his Florida domains, has
resurrected the rumor that Eddie
Roush will come from Cincinnati to
play center field for New York and
that Bill Terry will play first base
for the Reds.
McGraw's patronage of the fast ex-
press trains in the past few years in
d1cates that the trade winds are
somewhat more than zephyrs. It is
well known that there are only two
center fielders in the National Lea
que at all acceptable to McGraw-
Max Carey of the Pittsburgh Pirates
and Roush. Carey, of course, is out
OF the question as trade prospect
after his remarkable performances in
the last campaign

Colby Has Hard
Track Schedule
Winter and Spring

Especial to the kenneDec JOulHdlJ
Waterville, Me-, Jan. S.-Colby
will undertake one of the hardest
seasons in track this winter and
spring which it has ever attempted.
The most important at the present
time is the schedule which Coach
Ryan has arranged for the two mile
relay team.
Coach Ryan has signed the two
mile quartet for a race in Madison
Square Garden, New York City, in
the annual games of the Millrose
Athletic Club, against some of the
largest colleges and universities in
the country. Columbia University.
whose enrolment is approximately
10000 as compared with the 4OO
male enrolment at Colby. is one
University of Pennsylvania, Syra-
cuse University and Boston College.
This is the fastest set of two mile
opponents which can be mustered
from intercollegiate ranks. If Col
by wins it will mean that she has
the best team in the country as the
other institutions against which her
team will race are considered to be
the best this year.
The Millrose games will take place
on February and two days later
Colby will run the same team at the
Boston Athletic Association games
in the Boston Arena. Here the OPP
ponents will probably be the same
as at New York with the possibility
of the addition of Dartmouth.
There may be race for both n
one mile team as we'll as the two
mile quartet at the Portland Amer
lean Legion games, which will prob
ably be held on February 10.
In the field of individual perform
ers. George Mittlesdorf holds the
center of attention. He will meet
the best of Americas sprinters as
well as the foreign athletes who will
invade this country during the WIN
ter season.
There is a possibility of several
meets for the two mile team this
season if they make a good showing
at New York in the first race, these
later meets probably being at Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and Buffalo.
Although nothing definite has yet
been arranged, it is thought that
Holy Cross and the University of
New Hampshire will be the oppo-
nents in the two dual meets which
will be held in the spring.

MUCH DEPENDS ON
FORM CARL MAYS
FOR CINCINNATI

Cincinnati, Jan. Shy the Asso-
ciated Press) The player purchases
of the Cincinnati Reds this winter
have been few, but Manager Jack
Hendricks thinks his new men will
strengthen three important positions
first base, shortstop and left field.
The catching problem is still UNI
solved, and the strength of the pitch
ing department hinges largely on the
return to form Of Carl Mays, the
submarine twirler.
Hendricks went to California this
week for the minor league magnates'
meeting, still looking for talent, es-
pecially a catcher, of which the Reds
are sadly in need to back up "Bub-
bles" Hargrave. He admitted he
probably will find nothing better than
a scout or a coach.
At first base, the Reds will present
Jimmy Hudgens, obtained from toft
Smith of the Western Association.
Walter Holke was the regular at that
post last season, but Hendricks Is
enthusiastic over the record OF dud-
gems in the Western loop.
AL Niehaus, the first sack reserve.

plans to start in the left garden OPP

In base stealing.
A former Red rookie, Frank En-
inert. was brought back from the Sc
attic club of the Pacific c. asst League
to fill a gap at shortstop. A thorough
seasoning in the minors is said to
have converted him into a high class
performer.
Efforts to get Johnny Gooch or
Earl Smith, receivers, from the Pitts
b,lrgh Pirates, failed, and the veter-
| an. wv Wingo, is about all the Reos
have to rely on as a reserve catcher
The pitching staff is the same as
last wear. but Hendricks thinks ne
has one of the sturdiest crews OF
regulars in the game. Reserves are
again lacking, however. and Tor the
fourth regular Hendricks does no'
know whether he will have Mays III
