WILL GET TEST
AGAINST star TEAM

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Brunswick, April 14.-The Bowdoin
varsity baseball team will play its
first game since it's Southern trip on
Saturday when it meets team cap

toin. Besides Blake the team includes
Fat" Hill, Tied" Gibbons, Sphinx"
O'Connell, Jack F1avin, Jack Red
mond, Nal Morrell, George Spear,
Waterman Trefethan, Claven, Swartz
and Manchester. This nine should
be able to give Coach Houser's pro-
teges a hard battle. O'Connell is a
former Worcester Academy and Penn
State star. Flavin was star foot
bail, baseball, and track man at
Georgetown, while Redmond has had
experience at Westbrook and CAMS
cius. Waterman Trefethan, who is
expected to do the bulk of the pitch
ing. pitched for the University of
Maine freshmen team a year or so
ago. Gibbons. who graduated from
Bowdoin in 1924, played baseball for
the Polar Bears, but is better known
assistant graduate manager at Bow
dom, was a varsity infielder in his
undergraduate days, and captained
the varsity football team the fall of
1928. Hill played first base on the
Bowdoin baseball team for four
years. Spear is a former member of
the class of 1925. The batting order
Of this team will be as follows: Glib
bons, second base; Morrell, center
field; OConnell, shortstop; Flavin,
third base; Hill, first base; Redmond,
left field; Spear, right field; Blake,
catcher; Trefethan, pitcher. Claven
and Swartz may be used to relieve
Trefethan in the box, while Manches-
ter will act as utility man.
The varsity has been praeticing
daily, correcting faults that were
made apparent on the Southern trip.
The team work Of Mclaughlin, Lord,
Mahar, and MACEDONIAN in the infield
has been considerably improved,
while considerable time has been
spent on the outfield. For the most
part practice has been in the athletic
building, although the batter men
haze been working out of doors.

WITH C0NY HIGH
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Bath, April 14.-Morse High schools
football slate opens with Cony High
school next fall at Augusta Sept. 25.
For the past seven years the two
schools have opened the season
against each other Morse failing as
yet to win a game and has pulled out
but two draws, both 90 games, play
cd in 1924 and 1928.
This coming fall the Shipping City
outfit plans an e2.-ly seasons CAM
paign to turn forth a winning team
and hope to smash the jinx that has
pursued them in their clashes with the
Capital City outfit. AS an exceedingly
hard schedule faces the Morse eleven
next fall, spring football practice is
being introduced this year. Next fall
Morse will appear at Bayside Park in
Portland on two occasions, one
against Catholic and once against
Deering Edward Little, South Port

Morse High Will
Request Y. M. C. A. for
Edward Little Games
Especial to the Kennebec JournaI)

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Bath, April 1.-THE Morse high
school basketball authorities have
decided that when arrangements are
being made for next winters games
with Edward Little high school of Au-
burn, they will request that the Au-
burn game be played at the Auburn
Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium in place of
the Auburn hall where they have
been played in late years.
This move will be taken In the
form of request only, as the two
schools are on the best of terms and
the Bath authorities contemplate no
trouble arising. 1t is understood that
both Deering and South Portland
disapproved of the Auburn hall sur
face and although Morse is always
willing to play Edward Little on any
floor they will endeavor to have next
years battle on the Y floor as 1t at
fords both teams better opportunities
to get underway. For years Auburn
hall has been considered hard play
ing surface and many teams have
seen fit to keep away.

Hebron Team Has
Outside Practice

Especial to the kennebec Journal)
Hebron, Me-, Apr. 14.-Coach
Charlie Dwyer is losing no time in
getting his baseball charges ready
to tackle Exeter on April list
There Is a large area free from snow
in front of Sturtevant Home and
another in front of the Admintstra-
ton building.
The infield candidates were work
ing out in front of the Home today.
Two Auburn boys are making good
in the infield. Bling Wing, who is
a pitcher, has been shifted to third
base and "Tfck" Haskell is alternat-
ling with digger" Kinsley at Sec
ond. There are six candidates al
present for the inffeld berths. The
reason there are only six is on &C
count of the recent cut made in the
squad so as to enable the coach to
mould a team for the opening game
at Exeter. Today, Bling" Wing was
at third and jeremiah alternated
with Shorty" Harrington at short
stop. Jerry is handling himself like
veteran this year and present in
dications point to bigger wins on
the diamond on account of his skill.
Harrington may be tried out at one
of the other infield berths. Kinsley
and Haskell will alternate at sec
ond for time, as both are turning
in some good plays. Don Bailey,
three letter man at Hebron, is by
far the best bet for first base. Be-
sides being a good fielder he bats
well above 800 and gets many extra
base hits.
Shorty" wass, basket ball star,
and Sonny" Dwyer were doing the
receiving for Coach Dwyer, who was
batting to the infield today. Larry
Bearce, a veteran backstop of three
seasons, at Hebron, was busy CATCH
ing the pitchers.
MacFayden, Rising, Foley and
Brown are the pitchers who survived
the cut and they also got a little
outside practice today.
The outfield candidates were chas-
ing fungoes in front of the Admin
istration building. Jack" Small was
absent from the workout as he had
to go to Lewiston to see a doctor
ABOUT his nose, which was hit by a
ball IN the cage yesterday. AS the

Waterville. Me-, April 14-Today.
the first warm day Of the spring,
saw nearly all of the candidates for
varsity track at Colby working out
on the cinder track which, although
not entirely dry, is in condition for
some work. The squad has increased
since the boys have been able to get
outside and from now until the ma
tionaI championships to be held the
latter part Of May, strenuous work
will be the order of the day.
Coach Ryan has been called to
New York for few days and in his
absence Track Captain Russell F..
Brown '26 Of Fairfield Is in charge
Of the men. Captain Brown, holder
of the Colby quarter mile record, is
milers in New England and should be
a fine leader. having great inter-
est in the team as well as ability as
q track man.
The first meet, which will be held
against Massachusetts, Institute Of
Technology at Colby on May Sth,
will be one of the hardest duals
which Colby has ever undertaken.
Tech Is strong in both running and
field events and numbers among her
cohorts several of the best men in
the country. The meet which was
talked of against the University of
Vermont is still hanging fire and
nothing definite has been decided
as yet due to the fact that the Colby
authorities have frowned upon the
proposal that the Waterville boys
make the trip to Vermont. Consid-
'ering this attitude 1t is probable
that If such a dual is, arranged it
will be held on the Colby field.
Coach Ryan has not divided the
men into squads but undoubtedly
Mittlesdorf, Mathers and Sprague
will work together in the 100 and
220: Brown, Baker and Hunt in the
quarter; Sansone. Hodgkins and
Brudno in, the half; and the distance
men in one larger group. The weight
men will have practice sessions in
the morning as that is the only time
that the javelin or hammer can be
handled with safety on the training
field due to the numbers there in the
afternoon.
Colby will be very weak in the
hurdles this season as the three lead
ing hurlers of last season were lost
last commencement. Coach Ryan
will attempt to develop one Of the
new men as his leading hurdler.
With Ryan's return tomorrow the
final drive will be underway.

SNOW COVERED DIAMONDS MAKE
CONY- ALUMNI CAME UNCERTAIN
Capital Park and Williams Field
Both in Poor Condition
Game Was Slated for April
10

With Williams Field still gener-
ously covered with big patches of
snow and Capital Park still frozen
hard and fast, prospects for playing
the Alumni Cony game April 10 are
about as bright as a counterfeit dol
lar. Williams Field is still in the
grasp of the snow and has been pro-
nounced as hopeless for the sched
uled encounter. Capital Park, which
was deserted last year except for an
occasional scrub game, and was con-
sequently allowed to grow as much
grass as it wanted to, is still more
hopeless, so it is probable that the
annual tilt which officially lifts the
baseball lidNin Augusta will have to
wait a while.
In the meantime Coach Eddie
Pierce and his squad are getting out
door action and plenty of it. Through
the kindness of Mrs. William A.
Smith the Cony squad is permitted
to work out on the lot on Stone
street, seemingly the only dry spot in
town. The squad will use the Stone
street field for the rest of this week
and move to Capital Park as soon as
1T is available. Malcolm and Fabrizi,
both newcomers on the Cony squad,
showed ONE real class in the work.
out yesterday and to add to Coach
Pierce's problem in selecting an as
sistant to Babe Lapidus on the
mound, Bill Paquette began to show
real form as slab artist. ~
Pete Bradstreet, clever fielder
and batter with fence breaking pro-
clivities has apparently hung his hat
on the first sack for the season. Pete
is q veteran and his war club helped
Cony out of many tangles last sea-
son. Captain Tiny Overlook has been
covering second, Yippie Nickless the
short field and Howard Stiles the hot
corner in the most of the workouts
thus far but there is enough classy
material on the squad to Keep these
veterans working to insure a chance
of working at these positions regu-
larly.
Much of the work has been on the
subject of hitting. Going on the per-
fectly logical supposition that runs
are necessary to win ball games the
coach has been teaching the team to
lay down bunts and to hit at the
ball as If they meant 1t. While the
season is still young, the team should
develop into a formidable outfit be-
fore their first appearance in reg
ular game.
