Well drilled by constant practice
since the snow left the ground, the
veteran outfit representing Cony
High school gets it's first taste OF
actual warfare on Williams Field
today. And not a better team could
have been selected to help ConS
christen the field this year than
Morse High school of Bath. The
visitors played mid week game
with WeStbrook at the Paper City
Wednesday and showed that they
have a license to travel along in the
fastest company in the State. Hal
lowell tied with Cony for the cham
pionship of the Kennebec Valley
League last season and Morse aims
to occupy the sun berth this season
Reports drifting up from the
Morse camp indicate that the team
from down river will select Bill
Oliver to do the mound work this
afternoon. Bill is good. Pitching
against the Westbrook outfit, team
for it's ability with the willow, Oliver
let them down with five hits and
whitfield seven men. a trick not done
every day in the week against
Westbrook. In the event that Oliver
tires or is solved too frequently,
Bonney will be sent in and the lat
ter is also a capable slant artist
Morse showed signs of hitting weak
ness at Westbrook against Husky
Aube but may have ironed that fault
all out by this time.
Cony will use the same team
which has cavorted around Williams
Field several times before, for, the
opening tilt. The only new faces are
Rand and Fabrizi, both outf1elders
and both sluggers, who have been
injected into the lineup to give the
team some batting punch.
Dick Bell, regular outer gardner
is at present travelling with the rest
of the Seniors on the Washington
trip and his services will not be
available for the occasion.
Captain Tiny Overlook will lead
off the Cony batting list and hold
down his regular position on second
Stiles and Nickless will follow Over
lock and the cleanup position will
be held down by the ong hitting
Bradstreet, who is again stationed
at the first sack this year. Rand
Fabrizi. Goode, Fletcher and Lapi-
dus follow this quartet TO the bal
and the batting order is fairly strong
all the way down through. In addi-
ton to these there will be a formid-
able cluster of utility men ready to
step in at a moments notice. OF
these Ted Lishness is almost sure to
see action before the afternoon is
over.
The game starts promptly at 8
o'clock and Jack McDonough will of
ficiate. The field, although rather
rough is fairly dry and one of the
best duels of the yea rshould be IN
order when the first Pay BALI of
the season is heard on Williams Field
today.

Should there be tie-and such a

be treated as winners and choice of
prizes for their particular place in

In other words. if two people come

The season in high school circles
gets under way in earnest this after
noon with practically every team in
the Kennebec Valley starting off.
Gardiner is visiting Hallowell in a
kennebec Valley League opener
while Cony is entertaining Morse on
Williams Field.
Over at Readfield Kent's Hill and
NJ. c. l. are scheduled to clash in
what should be a thrilling prep
school contest. Coburn Classical
varsity team is idle but the second
team is playing at Oakland. Colby
seconds are stacked against Wins
low. Hebron is playing Bowdoin's
second squad at Hebron and Show
hogan is opening with Madison. The
most of the teams in these contests
are apparently well matched and
some fast games all through the sec
ton should result.
Charlie Major, Coburn track star
will lead his team against the Colby
Freshmen this afternoon. The dusky
Coburn had a great season indoors
this winter and his performances
outdoors this spring should be one
of the track sensations of the state
if not New England.

ONE THING TO
 BE THANKFUL. FOR

If Columbus hadn't discover ed America somebody else would have done so. Certs inly we would not be non-exie tent today had not the feat been achieved at that time. The world was waking up from a long sleep. There was question ing along many lines and what lay over the Western ocean was one of the queries.
 But it might have made a great difference in the destiny of the Western Hemisphere had some other explorer first carried to Europe the news of land here. It might have maue difference had Columbus touched the Northern conti- nent instead of the islands in the West Indies. Luckily, Spain was divSrted southward, mainly, and the Northern tenn. perate zone was left for other races, peoples who sought homes rather than gold and sudden riches.
 While we accord honor to Columbus for discovering America there is satisfaction to be found in the fact that his voyages did not place un- der the permanent control of Spain the land in which we live. We have reason to be thankful for some things Col umbus did and for some he failed to do.
