Joe Boley's Predicament

~ NE of the most unfortunate
young men in professional
- baseball today is Joe Boley,
the Baltimore shortstop.
A couple of years ago, when at
the top of his form, he had sew
eral chances to rise into the
major leagues. Jack Dunn's exo1-
bitant price, however, frightened
away would-be purchasers.
Today Bolcy is not as good as
he once was, yet both the White
Sox and Mackmen are flirting for
his services, each club declining
to pay Dunn's price
1t looks as though Boley, who
might have have risen to the
top of the heap, is doomed to
end his days in the minor leagues
and all because Of Dunn's cupidity.
This is state of affairs which
well might cause young man to
pause before signing a Baltimore
contract.

Our Pinch Hitters

TIME champion Grltfmefl appear
fairly well fixed for pinch
hitters this season. For
right-handed sluggers they have
Hank SEVERED, Walter Johnson,
Joe Harris and Joe Bush. If
they happen to need q southpaW
hitter, they may call upon Benny
Tate, Johnny Tobin or Dutch
Ruether, with Heimach 4 candI-
date if he comes here.
IF it is speed and cIeverness
up there around the plate rather
than sheer bludgeoning, they have
Maurice Archdeacon to oppose the
orthodox hurlers and Earl Me-
Nicely to tackle the southpaws.
When thinking Of the coming
campaign, just give a moment 10
those extra hitters sitting on the
bench. They may all come in
handy before the pennant has been
won.

WITH LOUIS A. BOUCHER
I MERE TEAPOT TEMP EST

The resin situation is sor1e-
thing like this:
Every big league bench last
season had its resin bag. Pitch-
ers working on hot days dried
their hands just before resuning
mound activities. A long inning
worked against them, short OTlo
against the batsnlen.
The suggestion of the joint
rules committee Is that the umpire
be given resin bag, with the
pitcher permitted at any time TO
ask to dry his hands on It.
Some baseball writer's have
talked of the resin ball but at
no time was IL planned To permit
pitchers 70 place the resin on the
ball. They were merely TO dry
their hands.
New York writer's are usually
strong for the National League
as opposed TO the American
League and hardly with an ess-
ception, they are now belaborlng
Ban johnson and predicting dire
results Of the action taken here
Tuesday.
May minor leagues, notably the
international, oppose the use. Of
resin or any other foreign sub
stance by pitchers and it Is fair
to assume that John Heydler s
circuit may find itself alone ii
this matter.
Freak pitching was i nuisance
when it was barred. Today home
runs are nuisance, though
thousands Of fans seem to like
them. Charlie CcTniskey appears
to have the right idea when he
says to keep foreign substances
out Of the game and enlarge the
outfieIds. Bandbox ball parks,
making baseball ridiculous, work
more harm than anything else
connected with the national game.
But there is no baseball war
on the horizon, despite various
New York writer's.

Man Arrested
In Ohio Village
Seeks to Alibi Here

The arrest in Mansfield, Ohio. of H
l.. Hyhan, alias Lewis, on a charge of
selling mortgaged property with in
tent to defraud, of which the local po-
lice were notified by letter from the
chief of police in Decatur, Ill, Q. E.
Davenport, will be of much interest to
Waterville people. for Hyman, under
the name of Professor Barron, was in
this city from some time in Septem-
Der or November, 1924. to February,
1925. as an expert palmist and fortune
teller.
The letter from Chief Davenport
said that on the night Of November
%, 1924, a young man was killed IN
Decatur from a shot from a revolver
and that there are several parties in
that city who claim that Hyman was
there at the time and did the shoot
ing. Hyman's alibf was that he was
in Waterville at the time of the shoot
ing. saving that he came here in Sep
TENDER and if he can prove this con-
tention the Decatur police cannot pros
ecute him.
While in Waterville Hyman occupied
an office in the Hussey block on Main
street with Professor Pole, spiritual
healer, who has since left the city.
When Hyman first came here ne placeo
advertisements in the Waterville Sem
tinel and the first of these that could
be found by Deputy Marshal Alfred
Poirier Yesterday was on November ~
and the belief was expressed yester-
day that the man was not here until
about that time.

enbach, commanding the district Of
! Washington, who referred 1t without
co, lment to the adtutant general Of
the army.
The latter transmitted It to the
war secretary's Office. It merely
said
II hereby tender my resignation
as an officer of the United States
army to take effect February i.
1926"
AS the brief letter progressed
through military channels, drawing
step by step closer to the White
House, where final decision will be
made as to its acceptance or rejec-
ton, speculation narrowed down as
to what form of acceptance 1t would
receive. Opinions differed. Some
military chiefs, familiar with army
practice, believed the resignation
would be accepted as presented. 9th
ers predicted it would be endorsed
to show that the acceptance was "for
the good of the service
While Secretary Davis gave no
clue as to what his recommendation
to the President would be, it is I'M
derstood that he is inclined to favor
acceptance of the resignation as it is,
disregarding the good of the serv-
ice issue unless the legal opinions
he has sought run counter to the
procedure. 1t is pointed out in this
connection that the fact, recorded on
Colonel Mitchells service record,
! that he resigned after he had been
convicted by courtmartial and sent
enced to five years suspension from
rank, duty and command, would be
of itself sufficient to allow the good
of the service" stigma to be tS-
nored.
Details of Colonel MitchelIs fu-
ture plans were lacking tonight, due
to his refusal to make any public
announcement before final action on
his resignation is taken. His closest
friends, however, furnished the
foundation for the reports that he
has entered in a contract for ma
tion-wide lecture tour and later
plans to hunt big game in Africa.
1t remains certain that the air
critic will utilize every means at his
command to carry on his crusade
for a unified air service and to bring
about revolutionary changes in the
present administration of aviation by
the army and navy departments.
In the opinion of many who have
followed the officers activities. his
resignation is an anti-climax to the
fight he has waged. They do not
believe he will be able, as civilian.
to keep the sustained public interest
in aviation development which ha.
marked his struggles since 1915,
when he first clashed with his SUI
periors on the question of adequate
national defense.

At the Tuesday Club

Thirty members of the Tuesday
club with their guests met at the
Lancey House Tuesday evening. Mrs.
Nellie NJ. Hunnewell president of the
club presided, and MSs. Betsey MILL
| ken recited the club collect. The ia
bles were beautifully decorated with
; Darwin tulips, carnations. dainty
| place cards and bonbon baskets. A
bountiful dinner was served, during
which music was furnish"' by Miss
Alice Murch, piano, and Raymond
Brown, violin, after which William j.
| Wilkinson, professor of history at
Colby college, gave an interesting
and scholarly address. He referred
to three great epochs in modern his
} tory, the beginning of the Christian
era, the acquiring of religious liberty
.. whereby one might worship God ac-
, cording to the dictates of his own
! con ~cien"e. which previous to the re-
formation, four hundred years ago,
| was not possible, and the acquiring
of political liberty, whereby through
revolution in America and France a
| century and a half ago there was
abolished the rule of kings and es-
| tablished individual right to partici-
pate in government. He declared
that he believed that the present
! period would go down in history as
a. great epoch, the most marked
| events being the obliteration of the
demartations between the different
. religious creeds and political parties,
and the opposition to war. He re-
ferred to the arguments and the
! statesmen who are for and against
| the world court and that he believed
that 1t would soon be established and
| though it might function imperfectly
at first, in time in would be efficient
and free the world from wars.
The next meeting of the club will
| be held Feb. 9 at the home of Mrs.
| w. B. Tricky on Main street.

Freighter Founders
Continued from Pace One)

in mid Atlantic during a brief lull in
the storm. Commander Fried, of the
President Roosevelt. sent a radio
message to the United States Lines
that he would make further attempts
to save the rest of the Antinoe's
crew as soon as .ather permitted.
The rescue tonight, Captain Fried
said, was made by a manned life
boat from the President Roosevelt.
He listed his casualties to date due
to rescue attempts at two men, lost
in the first trial to reach the Anti
noe, and five boats, three of which
were sent floating toward the dis
abled vessel unnamed and were
capsized.
All hope for the Laristan and her
crew was abandoned this afternoon
when the north German Lloyd Offices
in New York received a wireless
from it's steamer Bremen saying:
I'm a storm with heavy seas and
blizzard, saw Laristan last Tuesday,
II midnight. Wednesday at 8 A. M,
some wreckage was found floating
in water, and as nothing more was
found of Laristan, it is assumed
steamer sank"
The message was signed by Cap
tain Wurpts, of the Bremen, who has
stood by the broken Laristan since
the storm swept down on her. Yes
terday the Bremen held the driven
snow and 9O-mile gale at bay long
enough to pick up six of the Laris-
tan's crew, and was prepared to
make another effort today.
The message to the steamship Of
fees indicated the task was hope
less, and another wireless from the
Bremen received at Halifax said she
had abandoned the search.
While the wireless operator
aboard the Bremen was tapping out
the final chapter of the Laristan's
losing fight, another of the United
States liners, President Roosevelt,
was writing in staccato code the
story of that vessels effort to aid
the crippled Antinoe.
The sea forced both the Bremen
and the President Roosevelt to plav
waiting games in their attempts at
rescue. Lifeboats sent to the Anti
noe and to the Laristan before she
appeared, were smashed or cap
sized. Lines could not reach them.
The President Roosevelt lost two
men sent out in a lifeboat day be-
fore Yesterday.
Both the Antinoe and the Laristan
were without lights, their engines
helpless, wallowing in waves 40, so
and % feet high. Their wireless
voices were stilled. At night, and
during the darker hours of the
storm, the rescue ships kept in
touch with them with searchlights.
At the offices of the United States
Lines, messages were received from
captain George Fried, of the Presi-
dent Roosevelt, saying the ability Of
the AntinOe to stay af1oat another
day was very doubtful" Captain
Fried has been standing by her more
than three days. At his home Office
