COLBY INTERCLASS
CROSS COUNTRY

Waterville, Nov. 16.-The first IN
terclass cross country run of the
year will be run over the short
course of Colby College by the four
classes of that institution tomorrow
afternoon.
Cross country running has been a
declining sport in Colby for some
time due to the lack of a proper
schedule and to the shortage of
shutting this interclass run, hopes
to bring out some candidates that
will strengthen the team for next
fall
Every member of the track and
cross country teams will start the
race and class rivalry. especially be-
tween the two lower classes, is so
keen that there will be large
crowd on hand to spur their favor
ties on.
Jimmy Brudno, star distance run
ner of the college. is the favorite to
win although there are many under
classmen that think he will have no
easy time in beating Drisco Allen,
a sophomore. and Billy Burr, a
freshman find from Providence, r. l.
Allen was the eleventh man TO fin
ish in the Maine intercollegiate cross
country run and can be expected
to furnish any runner with plenty
of opposition. Burr is but a fresh
man and has yet to run in intercol-
legiate competition, but in practice
over the course in the past few
weeks he has shown rare form and
very good time.

nations, which Cuba regarded as de-
rogatory to her national honor and
which caused Cuba to sever diplo-

The diplomatic break arose over

Paris, Nov. 16--(Pl-Criticism OF
the American tariff and the demand

ment were voiced tonight at con
vention "of the union of economic

A resolution characterizing both

the demand that parliament amend

pecially $50 as to make settlement

Before adoption of the resolution
Deputy Louis Dubois, former presl-
dent OF the reparations commission,

KAY JAY
SPORT
CHAT

The opening basketball me of Tho
season will be held at the Augusta v
NJ. Z. A. gymnasium between the fast
N1ckery and Hill team of Augusta
and the Boys Club quintet from Wa
tervllle. The Augusta team is made
up mostly of former Cony star. and
the game should be a fast one.
Coach Eddie Pierce is angling
around among the high schools to get
little opposition for his hockey club
this winter. Lewiston, Waterville and
Portland are already considered as
probable opponents and 1t is possible
that Deering will play two games
with the Red and White.
The Cony seXtette promises to be
up to the usual standard, which
means that Cony will be somewhere
near the top of the ladder when the
race for state honors ends. Captain
Hunnewell and his nearly all veteran
squad will get to work as soon as
there is any ice and a state cham
pionship is the goal of all the players.
Beverly High School down in the
Bay State wants Cony to play hockey
in Beverly and have offered the
school a good guarantee if the team
can be brought down to Massachns-
etts for a game. 1t is hoped that ar
rangements can be completed for
such a game.

Mystery Angle of
Kidnapping Lowell
Policeman Still Holds

Lowell, Mass, Nov. 16-(H9-The
mysterious Kidnapping of John
Mahan, policeman candidate for
mayor, had not wholly been cleared
up today when citizens of This city
went to the polls to register their
choice from a field of 10 asphants
I for the office.
Mahan, VINO was whiSked from his
home by four armed and masked
men early yesterday, eluded his cap
tors who imprisoned him in a house
in Providence, K. L., and was bacy.
in time for a last minute election
rally last. night but authorities We're
admittedly vague regarding some of
the circumstances of the abduction
and the city heard many conflicting
explanations.
The policeman, whose ability as an
enforcer of the law. has earned him
the sobriquet of The Fighting Cop"
and who had made attacks on boot
leggers and grafters leading issues
Of his campaign, stuck to his story
He told of being dragged from his
apartment and carried away in Il
closed automobile to the Rhode Is
land city where he escaped when a
lone sentinel went to lunch. He eX-
hibited a black eye to prove his con-
tention and appeared pale and thin.
In addition he had lost $13S which
he had intended for eleventh hour
advertisements in Lowell News pa
pers.
While friends attributed the kid
mapping to arouse enmity of orga-
nized law breakers, his opponents
ridiculed the story and expressed the
belief that the job was engineered by
the poIiceman's friends as a bid for
sympathy. They thought Mahan
himself might have been an active
cooperator.
An added element of mystery was
injected with report from Provi-
dence that police headquarters there
had received no request for assis-
lance in probing the abduction.
At last nights rally, which in ac-
cordance with an old custom here,
was an open forum and addressed by
all the candidates, Mahan made no
mention of the events of the day but
confined himself to previously dis
cuSsed issues.

Radio Program
Costing Over $4,000
For Single Evening

New York, Nov. 16-[P)--A radio
entertainment that cost over $4,000
was the feast rendered millions of
listeners-i last night in the debut
of the National Broadcasting Com
pany whose program was heard over
WEAF and WIZ and allied stations.
In revealing these figures today an
official of the company said that 1t is
expected to make advertising ulti-
mately pay the entire expense for
elaborate programs to come.
OF last nights expense. more than
$4,000 went to the artists and per-
formers in the four hour program
To the ultimate consumer who tuned
in on Mary Garden, Titta Ruffo.
Harry Bauer, Will Rogers, Weber
and Fields and the participating or
chestras, the cost was nil. Some
5000 miles of telephone wire were
under lease for this broadcasting en-
terprise which required the services
Of over one hundred radio engineers.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company which leased the
telephone wire, would not venture
the number of telephone engineers
and others required to keep the
transmission ways clear.
The National Broadcasting Com
pany visions a future when it's pro-
grams will be transmitted over cir
cults from coast to coast and from
the Gulf shores to the Canadian
forests.
Other programs of equal merit are
to come from it's studios, the Ma
tional Broadcasting Company an
nounced. Thousands of dollars are
to be spent in the campaign to meet
the needs and desires of the vast
radio audience that on the big hook
ups total into the millions. Officials
Of the company were asked today
who is to pay for this wireless en-
tertainment.
The reply was this: There is to be
no charge and probably never will
be to the radio fan. The advertisers
are expected to foot the costs with a
margin of profit to the broadcaster.
What goes to defray the free cost of
the radio program may be CLEANED
from the WEAF rates. which it was
learned today, are in force.
After s o'clock, eastern standard
time. the rate for full hour to the
advertiser Is $500, while the charge
for 80 minutes is 1875.

SANSONE JOINT
| HOLDER RECORD
| IN Z mile RELAY

Waterville, Nov. 16.-Charles 7
Sansone. '2S, of Norwood, Mass. and
a student at Colby College, becomes
a Joint holder of the worlds two
mile relay record as a result of the
acceptance of the record of the Bos-
ton Athletic Association team made
at the national championships held
IN connection with the Sesuc,-
tennial Exposition, July 4th and 9Th
in Philadelphia.
The record of 7:41 IS was rati-
ned by the A. A. u. in their annual
convention held in Baltimore this
Week.. The team against which b.
A A. ran was made up of three of
the members of the former cham
pionship team, together with George
Lerness of M. I. 7. Sansone led off
FOR b. A. A. and his efforts helped
greatly to establish the new record.
The other members of the team
We're Sam Martin of Dartmouth.
Dinny WEIGH of Holy Cross, and
Lloyd Hahn of B. A. A.
Sansone is a product of the tutel-
age of Mike Ryan. veteran track
mentor at Colby. The Norwood lad
never had a track shoe on until his
entrance to Colby in the fall of 1924
and his rise in the athletic world
has been all the more spectacular.
Upon his entrance to the Waterville
college, Sansone went out for foot
ball and made the freshman team.
Later in the season he reported to
Coach Ryan for track. Coach Ryan
saw possibilities in Sansone and al
though the lad was at first a very
awkward looking runner he soon
developed a smooth stride.
Sansone went rapidly to the front
as one of the country's leading mid
die distance runners. He captained
the Colby one and two mile relay
teams last winter. and has been the
leading miller in the college.
Last year he was the winner of
third place in the national intercol-
legiate mile run, winner of second
in the mile at the Maine intercolle-
giates, and winner of third place in
the mile at the New England inter-
collegiates.
Coach Ryan sees great possibili-
ties in Sansone, as the doughty run
ner has a beautiful stride and has
great strength. If he pursues the
proper course of training. he will be
a leading candidate for the Ameri-
can Olympic team that will compete
in Amsterdam in 1928.

Bout, Says Commission

Boston, Nov. 16.- up Secretary
Mitchell Hambro of the State Box
ing Commission today denied that
that body had ever recognized the
Suggs- Finnegan bout of last night as
a championship battle and said 1t
was the policy of the commission not
to designate champions. He said that
newspapermen and not the commits
sion had named the mythical crown
as the prize of the winner.
Dick (Honeyboy) Finnegan won
the decision over Chick Suggs. New

for which the promoters declared the
Massachusetts boxing commission
had given authorization as title
bout for the crown relinquished by
Louis (Kid) Kaplan.
I'VE are satisfied that F'innegan
won," said Secretary Hambro. The
commission is only concerned with
seeing that the contestants abide by
the rules and that the decision is
Just. The New York commission
awards championships and might do
so in this case. The policy of the
