through the day.

forced the deployed shoveiers wun
her battering steel nose which played j
havoc witli the already disheartened
snow drifts. From then on tlie en

foie by a fierce array of Auguslans :
the snow almost begged for' mercy i
and at 1 o'clock the Manchester and

Hungry again by this time tlie |
workers straggled one by one in'o j

hearty refreshments, donated by !
Henry f. Cummings and the ladies j
of the grange, were waiting, for tiiej

Valiant Work East Siders
The Army of the Fast .Side made great
headway Friday along the line of at
tack, the Watervllle-Augusta 'electri:
< ar tracks the I'AJ strung forces pick
ing, hacking and shoveling their way
Meaciily along. The roadbed was a masr
of lee, not soft, easily chopped ice. bu;
a hard, solid congealed mass that v ield
• d only after the most strenuous labor.
.This ice was the greatest obstacle of
ihc whole attack as the big express
plow cou’d do nothing. By night the
workers had reached to Worthless.
There wasn't any singing and tiicre
wasn't any brass band to cheer tne
men along their way. but tlie liv
■ iueni visits of tlie coffee-doughnut -
• ■ookio < art warmed their spirits and
hastened 1 lie* work along. The Sal
vation Army served doughnuts to
all the men on the line. Henry
springer, not to he outdone, passed
• ■ut sandwiches which could not lie
urpassed. The Ladles Auxullary of
’he American Legion did great work
also in furnishing hot coffee md
other refreshments for the men.
No Slackers Present
A man without a shovel was a
strange sight indued and some peo
ple hardly knew tlteir nearest friends'
w hen Friend Shoveler w'as all dressed
up in his shovel-suit.
The huge mound of solid iec at the
crossing at rcttingill s Corner \anlsh“d
under the persistent blow and pick of
the shoveiers* attack and they speeded
along in great style, one man picking
< ut the ice >n the line of the rails ®ivl
the other man shoveling it away.
The shuads on ihe cast side worked
in two sections, one starting at Pettit:
gill’s Corner and the Cony High stu
dents starting at a point sonus distance
t p the line towards Watervilie.

leading citizens-behind-the-shovel,
Thursday forenoon as he straighten
ed up to take a deep breath before
snacking another shovelful of ice.
■'! broke my shovel” was the ans
wer which one man gave when ask
• d why he wasn’t shoveling. He
doubtless had a very sufficient rea
son for not working just then, but
tht lack of a snow shovel on X’riday
was indeed a deplorable onf. Snow
shovels were at a premium and even
i he old coal shovel from the cellar
bin was tailed into action. Some
shovels were large and some were
small, but. what did that matter if
the spirit behind it was big?
Supt. Bowie Busy Man
William Bowie, superintendent of the
electric road, acted as generalissimo
and liason officer of both offensives,
nlying back and forth and keeping i i
touch with both the Winthrop and Wa
lerville linos, lie stated last evening
that he could not find words enough to

AUGUSTA LOCALS
“Y” Trims Bath Independents;
37-31—Cony 2nd Wins
From “Y” Jrs. 48 to 15
Augusta "V" defeated the Bath In-j
dependents last evening in a fast game ]
of basketball in High School Assembly j
hail by a score o'f 37 to 31. In the pre- j
liminar? Cony 31 trimmed the “T" Jun
iors t» to 13. There was a good < rowd I
present and throughout both games j
much enthusiasm was shown Bath was'
late in getting on the Hour on a-count
of-traffic conditions, not arriving until
after 9 P. M . so both halves of the pre
liminary were played. The games wer
followed by a dance, music being fur- '
nished by I-'ox Brothers' orchestra.
Augusta “Y" 37, Bath Independents 31 j
The game in which Augusta "Y" and j
Bath Independents clashed was the'
Thatn attraction of the evening. Botn ;
teams played a fine brand of basket
ball and live leather was kept going up
and down the floor throughout the ■•< n
test. The local lads showed a shade j
Letter quality of team work, but the
game was in doubt until the last two
minutes of play, although the "Y" took
the lead in tlie early part of the first
period and kept it throughout the game.
At the end of the first half the score
was 19-13. The visitors had a last com
bination and were dangerous at all
times. Perkins and Ilolbrook appeared
a bit the better of the rest of the visit
ing five.
For the local aggregation. Connellan,
Cooper and Hill had their eyes on the
baskets. Connellan dropping the deathe.

RITCHIE-TRAVERS “MILL*’
WILL ATTRACT LARGE
CROWD WED. EVENING
The sparks -will fly when A1 Richie
of Providence, R. I., clashes with
Steve Travers, featherweight champ,
of the A. K. F. next Wednesday tve
ning in City hall in two six-round
bouts.
In securing these two men Man
ager "Tex” Hopkins has pulled a
stunt that demonstrates he is a live
wire. Both of these boys are in de
mand and as crowd getters they have
few equals. They have met twice al
ready, fighting to a draw, so each
will do his best Wednesday evening
to show the other up. A! Ritchie has
received an offer from the Whaler
City A. A. in New Bedford. Mass., to
box Jack Sharkey, the boy who gave
Jimmy Wilde a few points regarding
boxing "as did by Yankees.” Travers
Who boxed over oneh undred matches
while in the army is a whale of a
scrapper, packing a K. O.' that has
laid uxany a promising featherweight
on the canvas. He is a tough little i
lad. game to the tore and has always •
•-.iven a good account of himself. He
will be in prime condition on the ;
night of the scrimmage, ready to do ,
las best and is sure to please the
fans. Jlitchio has been, described as I
a human tornado" so etuick are his
movements, he "ill tear across the j
ring, both mitts working like twin,
pistons and woe be it to the luckless 1
man with whom one of these minia- j
ture pile drivers connects. “A1“ Is :
fast, clever and a clean little mixer |
who always puts forth his beVt ef
forts and is anxious to please the
sport funs. With these two gamey :
little featherweights mixing the fans'
are sure of a dandy clash.
For the semi-final six rounds Tex"
has arranged for K O. Johnson of
New- York and Kid Nolan of Bidde
foid to hav- a little party which is
sure to be a festive occasion. These
two colored heavyweights are mixers
of the first water. They are clever j
and aggressive, both being willing |
fighters and possessing more than I
the average amount of science.
The preliminary will be staged be- i
tween Young Cote uf Augusta and!
Terry Vance, also a resident of the
city. This bout is arousing much in
terest among the Franco-Americans
v ho will no doubt turn out in full
force to see the mill. Cote is a
clever young athlete and a good lit
tle boxer. He is game and willing
and iiis opponent will have to fight
hard if he expects to make any
headway. Vance is a snappy, classy
young s'-rapper ,who is a scientific
willing worker and his followers al
low that Cote will be surprised, also
his followers when they see Vance
clash with him. If all reports are
true this bout between two local
men has set a large majority of the
sport fans on edge and they will at
tt nd to cheer iheir favorites on to
victory.
The bouts will start promptly at

Frightful Experience
"What was my most thrilling ex
perience?” mused the ex-pilot. ‘‘Ah!
I could never forget it. It was a
bright starlight night, but the lurid
flashes around us obscured all else as
we sped through the air. The ad
vancing enemy was hard upon us,
while all around we heard the weird,
savage music so terribly familiar, and
the thud of a thousand falling mete
ors. We dived, looped, corkscrewed
till our senses were numbed. I felt
a sharp pain in my right foot, a dull
weight in my side—J was falling, fall
ing—and knew’ no more till I found
myself lying on the ground badly
smashed some hours later."
"And that was really your record
aerial engagement?"
“No,” he replied: “it was my first
experiment with the jazx.”—Pitts
