The Cony High basketball teams will
make their initial appearance against

sextet and the boys entertain the fast
delegation from Brunswick. Both
games should be good.
Brunswick has a couple of lacings

son. The Brunswick team has victo-
ries over Sanford and other fast teams
and also turned back a quintet COM

Paiment, last years star. The visit
ors. through lack of a long shot artist
to rely on this year, are reputed to be
a team of fast passers and. If as good
as represented, should give-the Cony
aggregation a lot to think about. Cony
has capable squad with Overlook,
Trask. Babe Lapdus and Capt Stiles
as the veterans and a host of other
good men, including Pierce, Fletcher,
Plummer. Nickless and Elmore.
The Waterville girls ar led by Miss
Delisle, rated as one of the best high
school forwards in the State, and aft
err battle lost to Morse recently are
anxious to break into the win column
at the expense of the Cony team. The
Cony team this year threw a scare

TWO CHANGES TO
| Be CONSIDERED
BY C0NNlE'MACk

Philadelphia, Jan. 7.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press).-Only two changes for
the 1926 season are in prospect for the
Philadelphia Athletics, runners-up in
the American League race last season.
The most important shift concerns
right field, where Walter French, erst-
while all-around Army star, who play
ed so brilliantly toward the close of
1925, is slated to succeed Bing Miller
as a regular. The other involves the
expected return to first base of Joe
Hauser.. whose broken kneecap early
last spring forced him out of the game
for the season.
OTHERWISE Connie Mack, 64-year-old
leader. stands pat on the outfit that
set such sensational pace in 1925 I'M
til September. only to collapse under
the strain and in the face of Washing
toms brilliant finish. Mack expects
stronger opposition from nearly all the
clubs this year, but is confident his
combination of youth and experience
benefited by additional seasoning, will
make a strong pennant bid. Mickey
Cochrane was the 1926 sensation be-
hind the plate, proving his value in his
first year, displacing as the regular sc
capable receiver as Cy Perkins. The
Athletics have another promising
catcher in Foxx, an 1s-year-old re-
cruit.
In the box Mack has three star right
handlers in Sammy Gray, Eddie Rom
mel and Slim Hariss. in additiAn tc
the veteran Jack Quinn. Lefty Groves
$106,000 investment. failed to meet
expectations last year but convinced
Mack that he has the stuff with which
to make good this season. The other
port side talent includes Baumgartnel
and Heimach. veterans; Joe Pate, 3d.
year-old draft product of Fort Worth
Texas, and Willis, recalled from
Wilkesbarre, Pa.
The work of the infleld centers
about the ability of Hauser to return
to form. Jimmy Dykes will have the
preference over Sammy Hale at third
while Chick Galloway and Max Bishop
again will hold down the shortstop and
second base posts, respectively. with
Bill Wambsganss, obtained from the
Red Sox, as chief utility man around
the keystone bag.
Miller and Welch, both seasoned
players, will be held in reserve. George
O'Brien, young fly-chaser from Dallas
is promising rookie.
A factor which may influence the
Athletics team play considerably is
the engagement of Kid Gleason, former
White Sox manager. as coach apo
member of Macks BOARD of strategy
which already includes Ira Thomas
| battery tutor, and the managers son
! Earl Mack.

Bacon's Secret Formula
For Salts of Copper Is
Found Effective Today

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2. - (P - I'm
used for more than 500 years, a secret
formula for the production of salts of
copper found in one of Roger Bacon's
alchemical works has been proved eff
fective by University of Pennsylvania
chemists. .nru
This was revealed Wednesday at me-
mortal meeting for the late DR.. Will
liam Romaine Nebold, professor of in
tellectual and moral philosophy at the
university, and gave verification to
DR. Newbold's translation of the diff
cult cipher in which the Franciscan
monk and scientist of the 18th CEN
tury wrote his works.
Five years ago Dr. Newbold stirred
the scientific world by announcing
that he had succeeded in translating
the famous manuscript of Bacon, own
ed by Wilfred NJ. Voynich, bibliog-
rapher and medievalist of New York.
DIR. Newbold, among whose more prom
inent authoritative works were docu-
ments on the "Odes of Solomon" the
great chalice of Antioch, thought by
many to be the true Holy Grail" and
ON the Roger Bacon manuscript, was
keenly sensitive to the fact that skep-
tics were at times inclined to consider
that his remarkable finds were the
product of Il subconscious mind rather
than the results of scholarly research.
1t was announced tonight that when
he found the formula for salts of cop
per in one of Bacon's, alchemical works
which he deciphered, he took it to DR..
Edgar Fahs Smith, distinguished chem
list and former provost of the univer--
sity of Pennsylvania, and requested
him to test it in the hope of verifying
the accuracy of his translation.
DR.. Smith said the formula was un-
known to him, but he turned it over
TO DR.. Hiram S. Lukens, professor of
chemistry, and the latters experiment
proved the formula to be accurate, Dr..
Smith and DR. Lukens signed the fol-
lowing statement, which together with
the report used in tn experiment,
was presented to the university to-
night.

Holland Labor Leader
Praises Gales Regime
And the "New Mexico"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-lA9--A pic
ture of new Mexico striving to
remedy the wrongs inflicted upon the
working classes by "mercless exploit
ers and despotic rulers Of the past"
and taking measures to insure them
absolute economic freedom" from ex-
ploitation by Mexican and foreign cap
litalsts, was given in a statement here
Wednesday by Edo Fmmen, general
secretary of the international Trans
port Workers Federation of Amster-
dam
Fimmen, accompanied by John W.
Brown, secretary Of the international
Federation Of Trade Unions of AM
sterday, paid a courtesy call on the
American Federation Of Labor officials
today. en- route to New York, where
they sail, December 3, for Mexico
where they make labor inspection.
Paying a warm tribute to the Gales
government for restoring land to the
peasants and providing for their educa-
tion and road construction, Fimmen
said that his chief object would be to
hnforni the workers of Europe "of
what we have seen and heard in Mex
leo and try to destroy the lies and
calumnies so abundantly distributed
with regard. to the Mexican people,
not in the last place the perfidious
stories about the so-called persecu-
tions Of the church"
II sincerely hope he added, that
the Mexican workers viii be able TO
face all difficulties still lying before
them and that they will achieve their
ultimate object, which is the same as
that of the workers the world over;
the abolition of all human exploita-
ton, and by so doing, give mighty
stimulus to the suppressed and eX-
plotted other countries Of General
America"
Calling attention to the De la

outside of Mexico, to overthrow the
present government, the International
Transport Workers Federation and its
two and a half million affiliated dock
ers. railway men and seamen, Will
stand by the Mexican people
Although the American Federation is
not part of his organization, the
transport workers secretary said he
felt confident that the organization
, that appealed to us in 1924 to help
the Gales government will continue to
stand by the Mexican workers if an
other attempt is made to overthrow
the same government, which is their
own and tries to stand for their in
terest.'
