COburn Starts
Her Season Today
Against Maine FrOsh

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville. Apr. 23.-The CobuFn
Tiger nine looked much better in
yesterday afternoons workout on
Libbey field, which is the third prac-
tice of the season on an out Of door
diamond. Coach Ray Haines con-
tinued to give his men scrub game,
in which he tried his other pitchers
who did not get chance the pre-
vious day. Two teams lined up again,
with Ross Butler doing the hurting
for one and Walter Brinn behind
the bat, while on the other team
John Pollard was on the mound with
Lloyd Marster on the receiving end.
William Sullivan, the other catcher,
was put on first base and he dem.
onstrated some fine work. which
means he will be used there right
along. Harold LaFleur, Edward
Pritchard and Charles Bohn were
the other pitchers to get chance
doing mound work during the after
noon. From the string of pitchers
Coach Haines has at the present date
he should be able to get some real
promising men for the mound work.
Captain Tom Khoury, who has
had blood poison on the right arm
for the past month, is at present
copvalescing and will not be able to
lead his team in the opening battle
OF the. season. It Is expected that
he will be able to play in next weeks
games. The inf1eld which was work
ing together yesterday afternoon
was William Sullivan on first base.
Lee Chisholm on second, with Will
liam Norton on the short field DO
sition, Harold Gile working on the
hot corner and Walter Brinn at the
plate. These boys have been show
ing very well and indication of one
OF the snappiest infelds is looked
Tor. The batting has not shown UP
as yet but with several more days
or practice the boys should be able
to locate the sphere.
In the outf1eld Joe Martoski at left
field, Charles Bohn in center field
and Bob Violet occupying the right
field position. This set of outfielders
are fast and sure fielders and as yet
their batting eyes are yet to be
found. Much will be expected from
these boys as they possess ability of
doing much in those positions as
well as at the bat. ALSO
The game is to be played at 10
O'Clock, either on the Colby field or
Winslow High school, as the Coburn
diamond has been dug up and a new
diamond is being made over. This
field will be- in shape for the battles
on next week, with Coburn stacking
up against the Colby seconds on
Wednesday afternoon and on Satur-
day afternoon will play the strong
Hebron team from the Oxford Hills.
The Coburn second team will also
open up the season this afternoon
against the Belgrade High school
team on the Winslow High school
grounds at o'clock and this team
is to put one of the strongest teams
for some time on the field. Assistant
Coach Ted Lobdell will take charge
of this team and every boy will be
given an opportunity to do his stuff.
The probable lineup for the first
team this morning will be: Ross But
Ter Dana Simmons, Harold LaChance
or John Pollard starting on the
mound. with Walter Brinn behind
the bat. The inf1eld will be william
Sullivan, first base: Lee Chisholm,
! second base; William Norton, short
stop; and Harold Gile on third base.
The outffeld will probably be Joe
Martoski, left field; Charles Bonn.
! center field: and Bob Violet in right
field to start with and there will be
| many other boys go in some time
during the battle.
