BIG GREEN HAS
BUSY SCHEDULE
FOR DIAMOND

Especial to the Kennebec Journal)
Hebron. Me-, Mar. 19.-Manager
Duncan Graham of the Hebron base
ball team today announced the
schedule for the season of 1926.
Coach Dwyer is looking forward
to one of the best teams that has
ever represented the Oxford Hills
school. Last year the team seemed
to be weak in the pitching depart
ment. This year Hebron has no
less than half a dozen former high
school pitching aces to draw from.
Danny MacFayden of Somerville,
Mass, and Elmer Rising Of Rock
land, Me-, are the two leading pitch
ers, as far as records are concerned.
The former has been all-scholastic
choice in Massachusetts for three
years and in this time he has es-
tablished many strike-out records.
Rising pitched for Higgins Classical
last year. Both are credited with
no-hit, no-run games. The other
pitching stars at Hebron are Pat
Foley of South Portland. "Bing
Wing of Edward Little, Bob
Brown of Lawrence High OF Fair
field, and Lyman Abbott of last
springs nine.
Larry" Bearce of Hebron, cap
tain of baseball for two years. Will
be back behind the bat. sonny
Dwyer and Shorty" Wass will press
him hard.
Coach Dwyer is very fortunate in
having a veteran trio to parade the
outer pasture. Jack" Finn, OF
Cambridge, Mass. is a ball hawk Of
note. John Small and "Pitter" Fra
ser are the other two veteran out
fielders and they will make it hard
for any newcomers to break into the
outfield. The most promising re-
cruit outfielders are: Tom kelleher
of Cambridge, Reid Appleby of
Skowhegan; and Tom Libbey OF Ha-
verhill, Mass. .
jeremiah and Don Bailey, two of
Hebrons best all-around athletes,
will take their positions at short and
first base respectively and there is a
wealth of material for the other two
bases. At present Shorty" Harring-

CONY GIRLS WIN
FROM SkOWHECAN
BY SCORE OF 1872

Demonstrating their supremacy
over the Skowbegan high girls by q
far greater margin than the score
would show, principally because of the
use In the last period of substitutes.
the Cony high girls turned back the
Somerset county iassies by a score of
20 to 70. Friday afternoon at city
hall. Cony was never In danger after
the first few moments OF play.
The floor work and shooting Of
Nickless, the Cony left forward, was
a feature of the game, she piling up
a total of 20 points on ten baskets
from the floor. She was all over the
floor and the opposing guards could
not keep her from working into a
position to shoot. Capt. 'olena Moul-
ton. her companion In the scoring
end of the hoor gathered In the other
nine points on four from the flor and
a foul.
The Cony guards showed distinct
Improvement over their games of the
first of the season and kept the
Skowhegan forwards to such good
advantage that the visitors were
forced to attempt many difficult
shots that were foredoomed to failure
simply because they could not get in
to scoring position.
In the final period Coach Comedian
put IN several substitute guards and
Corvette, the right forward, who until
that time had been sMothered. OPEN
ed up with three baskets In quick
succession. Sedgley, the up river
left forward came through with five
from the floor and two from fouls,
several of her scores from play being
difficult shots, resulting from clever
floor work.

Staff for Season

Sarasota, Fla, March 19.-(AP)-
Fortified with stronger pitching and
the addition of AL Tyson in the out
field. the New York Giants, face the
1895 National League campaign with
excellent pennant prospects, In the
opinion of Manager John McGraW.
Pittsburgh, of course. is the team
we viii have to beat" said McGraw,
in discussing his outlook for The AS
ISOLATED Press, but l regard the St.
Louis Cardinals as contender.
I'VE are stronger in pitching than
we were last year." the veteran
that matter stronger than for many
years past. Tyson, the Louisville
center fielder, will help us.
These two factors sum up our
added strength so far as l can count
with any certainty. Our team should
at least be as stout this year as last.
We ought to be able to count on less
accidents, though we might have
more. Jackson seems to be all right.
His knee has given him no trouble at
all so far in training. Groh looks good
this year. His bad knee seems to
have come around. He is giving
Lindstrom close battle for the
third base position.
Il will start Tyson in center field.
Southworth will be utility. / regard
Tyson as a most valuable addition
to the club. He is fast and he can
hit and field.
"The most promising young pitcher
I have in camp is Fay Thomas. the
college boy from Southern California.
He looks even better to me than
Greenfield did at this time last year.
Not for many years have seen such
a likely pitcher.
Kelly will play first straight
through I know nothing of Terry. He
is a holdout. l am perfectly satisfied
with my catching strength. Hartley.
the veteran, Is one of the most youth
full men in camp. Snyder has an
other great year in him. am pleased
with my team as a whole"

CHAT

With basketball practically on its
last legs, baseball Is beginning to at
tract attention throughout this Sec
ton.
Cony, with sixteen games and a
good bunch Of veterans to play them
should make a very good showing.
Cony will have a veteran battery in
Lapidus and Fletcher and several
other positions on the team are go
ing to be well guarded.
Hailowell will have their left hand
ed ace. Carbino back in the box but
will<have to get baekstop to fill the
shoes of Del Luce. On the whole
Cony seems to have been used best
in the matter Of veterans.
y
Hebron, with Elmer Rising, Eastern
hurler, and Danny McFayden Of
Somerville, Mass, and Kents Hill
with Rollo Finn, should put UP some
splendid duels and fans will welcome
the first appearance of these outfits
on the diamond.
