the opening game, scheduled with
Bowdoin college at Lewiston, April
10Th. The five letter men and a for
midable group of experienced ball
players give followers of the Garnet
a very optimistic outlook for tile
present season. Conspicuous among
the veterans is Charlie Small, whose
bludgeon busted UP many bail games
for Lewiston and Togus last season.
Small appeared in semi pro ball as
an outfielder but is also a pitcher of
no mean ability and will probably be
used in that position for the Bates
team this year.
Captain Jack Karkos, with two
years Of varsity experience as a
catcher, is back and this assures the
stopping department. "El" Small,
brother to the well known Charlie, is
the third veteran and he is being
groomed for the shortstop position.
Charlie Ray, football star and an
outfielder of varsity calibre, is prac-
! tically assured of his old position.
His heavy hitting power should great
ly bolster the offensive threat of the
Bates team. this season. Jimmie
Young, veteran of summer baseball
campaigns, is being groomed for a
position in the infeld. With these

The New England League, the
schedule for which has just been
published, will undoubtedly have a
large following in this state this sea-
son. with two Maine teams entered
but at the same time q lot of the
fans will still watch the old favorites
years and who will probably flock to
the Maine State League this summer.
The face of Gil Whitehouse, with
his murderous bat and his tantaliz-
ing slow ball. will be missing from
the ranks and the fans who attended
games for the purpose of watching
Gil perform were numerous. Gil was
the favorite of the Easterns and that
club will have to dig down to replace
him with his equal on the diamond
and as a box office attraction.
Another veteran, who is we'll and
favorably known. is the famous
Sheriff Bill auckland. Bill is very
much alive, or was at last reports
and he will probably trot along with
some good club. a goodly part of
the sheriff's speed has evaporated but
the old arm still works overtime on
the slab.
Better players have been seen In
action in the state than Bill but it
is safe to say that as long as he can
last nine innings in the box he will
still draw the crowds to the dia
monds.

the Pennsylvania committed seven

therefore the minus figures.
Penn Military defeated Yale once

but the victory had nothing to do
with the championship competition.
On another occasion Yale won. but
that day the Pennsylvanians were
handicapped by having to use Yale
mounts.

worked on the boards. Neither the
baseball field, the track, the pits, nor

Snow still covers the track in places
although the diamond is free from
snow but oversupplied with mud.
The baseball men will continue
their practice sessions as they did
before the Easter vacation which
ended yesterday, the battery men
working on an assigned schedule in
the gymnasium and the remainder of
the squad tossing the ball around in
the gym. No real team practice is
possible due to the crowded condi-
ton of the gymnasium and only pre-

Roundy must send his men into the

This will necessitate Colby being
represented by those men who have
had the most experience during past
campaigns and will .pra ctically elmi-

Coach Ryan is severely handicap

is his need for work preliminary to
the first dual meet which may come

confined TO the gymnasium and it
has been impossible for them to get
the proper work there. Nearly all
of the men who must be depended
upon are green and need a lot of
outside work before their first meet.
The runners can get certain
amount of work on the track soon.
The tennis squad reported this af-
ternoon but Captain Macomber had
difficult time getting the squad or

right of way in the gym. However.
they will start indoor preliminary
work within a few days and the
courts may be ready in week.
