Sensational Fight
Promised When Mitchell
Meets Kid Dube
It is some fight that will take;place
Wednesday evening, April 2S, in City
hall when Harry Mitchell of Provi
dence. n. T., meets Kid Dube of, Lewis
ton in two sensational six-round goes
under the auspices of Tex Hopkins'
Sporting Club.
This is thp match the sporis have
been waiting for and many words y?f
commendation and praise have been
heard regarding Manager F/jpkins'
stunt in bringing the t\v» boys together.
Dube is one of the coming lads in the
ilstic game today. While he was at
tracting more than ordinary attention a
few months ago, his trouniing of Steve
Travers, featherweight champ of the A.
E. F., directed the eyes of the sporting
public to him and he is a strong draw
ing card. He is characterized as a com
er, a fighter with a perfect mixture of
science, punch and brains, a combina
tion with which lie cannot help but
make good in the squared circle. He
is a clean little fighter who does not
waste a second the minute the opening ,
bell is tapped but wades right in and
starts things. ‘
A glance at some of the boys he lias i
met will give you an idea as to the sort
of a' man who-will face Mitchell on the I
evening of April 2S. Hurt Jcne- of Hos- '
ton a draw; Leonard of Chelsea was j
K O'dr Young Dundee of Brstou hit the j
canvas; Charles Miller of Boston was !
counted out: Teddy Murphy was knock
ed out, and Young Fisher went by the '
same route. i
Harry Mitchell, the boy from “Little
Rliody," is there when it comes to a
scrap. His sensational go with I<. ;>. ;
Krouse in City hail a few days ago Vs i
yet the, talk of this strip of woi ds. Both 1
of the boys fought hard ail through the :
twin session and the battle has been
characterized by some of the’oldest in
habitants ns the greatest light they ,
have seen in Augusta for many yearl. -1
Young Falvey, Kid Herman and Voupg
Kelley all trie# to mix with the abode |
Island lad and went down fer the count.
Young Cote, the lad wild trimmed j
Terry Vance in*’ four rounds a few
weeks ago, will meet young Uinard of I
la>wiston in the semi-final. Cyte is one
of the rising boys in ring gam? in this
section. His fight with Vance will be
recalled as one full to the brim with ac
tion. and while Vance put up a great
scrap, lie went to the‘canvas for the!
count of 11 in tlie fourth session. Cote I
has a host of admirers in the »ity who '
will be at the ringside the night of the I
attair to cheer him on. Plnard is tlie
hardest boy that Cote lias thus lar met. I
He has n good punch and (knows many 1
of the fine points of the game, lb- wiil
niake the Capital City lad slpw all his
wares and wish he hud more.
Manager Hopkins is arranging for a
good preliminary and the fans, know
worry but it will compare I'avifrrtbly
wkh the rest of the show.—Adv.

with Young Chakas of Manchester.
X. II., in two sensational six round
bouts as the headlir.cr at the big box

the Loraine A. C. These boys arc
sensational type of fighters who bat
tle every minute while in the squared
circle and who ,go onto the canvas
determined to win by . knockout.
“Pep” is the motto of both lads and
they intend to give the sp. i t fans ac
tion from tile time they hop through
the ropes for the opening of rumpus
until the clang of the gong ends the
affair.
-DANNY LORAINE
Who ■will fight a sensational twin
six with Young Chakns
Loraine, ''the fighting shipbuilder”
is there when it conies to putting his
| opponents to the mat by the dream
i land route. He has fought Dummy
Burns to a dra\y* Buddy Dolan of
Lawrence came to the Pine Tree
State determined to get the Bath
boys scalp and was outfought in
every round. Kid Steiner of New
castle, Pa., went; to sleep meeting a
drive from . the husky “reamer.”
Y'oung Chambers of Biddeford re
ceived a trouncing whiie Young
Bushier whom he met a\ Biddeford a
short time ago has collided with some
of the best lightweights in New Eng
land including Billy Myers, Chick
Simler. Johnnev Downes and recent
ly stopped Mike Kearns in two
rounds. The Biddeford furs thought
Danny had met too tough a bo/ but
he surprised them for he outfought
and out punched Bushier in every
r^und.
Chakas is no doubt well know n by
most of the boxing fans as he has
boxed a great many of the big Bos
ton clubs. He has met 3uch knights
of the rosin ns Burt Jones, Joe Mor
gan, Johnney Cray, Howard Mcltae
land Johnnov Downes, all men who
| are sortie battlers, who are good and
i who know the game. .
Spin McGuire ol' Augusta and Eddie
j DeFoe of Bath will appear in the semi
llnal. This six-round session will pro
,1 vide the. fans action enough to last
lain for seme time as both boys are
as fast as a streak of lightning and
I have a kick like a Missouri mule. Mc
j Guire boxed Young Corbin of Hallo
well a twin six a short time ago, get
ling the decision, and will enter the
ring determined td get DeFoe's scalp.
The Bath boy. however, is not a bit
i ervous regarding McGuire and is some
little miller himself. He is as tcugh as
a pine Stpot and carries a punch in
cither pair of fives.
Young Cote of this city, who was to
have boxel Terry (Red) McGovern of
Sanford, lias been replaced by Eddie
Kingsbury of Bath, yho represented
’the S2d Invasion overseas. This scrap
' alone should lie worth the price of ad
mission as both boys have all kinds of
class and will • tight every second
throughout the bout.
Kid Dube, “the Iceberg.'' of this city,
will meet- Young Weeks of Gardiner in
six rounds chock full of fireworks. The
old intercity rivalry is sure to t rop out
and the fans will be cheering their
’beads off before tlie first round is over.
“The Iceberg” lias beeTl adding new
scalps to his belt and is determined to
come through Wednesday evening with
a”win. Weeks is a youngster whose
I middle name is figbtXand he is anxious
to take a fall out of the amt iticus Dube.
Harry Wears will be the third man in
the ring and all the boys know Harry
will Let p the battlers moving every ntin
I ute.

i it a popular priced show and the ad

I Sleep-Walking Student Falls
From Window of Dormitory
Kent's Hill, April 17—That soft
April mud has some value is amply
proved in the case of young Watson, :
captain of Kent’s Hill baseball nine,
who fell three stories from a dorm- j
ttory window last evening. Charlie j
Watson, of Hallowell, one of the'
most popular men /In school, found
himself at a little past oi^ o'clock
this morning, lying stiff and sore in
the midst of a mud spot, hardly able
to move and dazed in understand- <
lug. He could not recall how he \
came to that snpt but gradually ho '
collected his wits and crawled back !
into the dormitory. The school
nurse was summoned, an examina- i
tion held and the patient ordered to
bed. He had evidently fallen from j
the third story window and that he j
lives to tell the tale,is the wonder of
those who have visited the scone this j
morning. An imprint left where he j
fell is some ten inches deep and the 1
distance of the fall is nearly forty
feet. ,
Watson -reports that he has pre
viously walked in his sleep but not \
for many yeprs and that never be- j
lore has he met with any accident as i
a result. It is especially disappoint
ing at this time to the young man
as he is baseball captain and expect
ed to lead his team- through a vic
torious season. He is rated as one
of the best infield men on the Maine
diamond and is an exceptional hit
ter. Tile verdict of the doctor at
present is that he is apt to be out
of Baseball for the balance of thrf
season, but there is a possibility
that he may be back in shape for
summer ball. He suffered some in
jury to the spine, the extent of which
can only be determined by an X-ray
examination. At present he is con
fined to his bed at the school but
will be removed to the hospital as
soon as it is safe to make the jour- j
ncy.

MANAGEMENT LORAINE
A. C. WANT FANS TO KNOW
ABOUT DEAL WJTH COTE
Regarding the announcement in Satur
day morning's Journal by Young Cote
of this city eluting that he was not to
appear in the boxing show given
Wednesday evening in City hall by the
Loralne A. C., Manager Day cf that club
in a letter to the sporting editcr of the
Journal says: "1 was sent to Augusta
last week to get some prelims and I met
"Corporal” Fomerleau, who claims to
be the manager of Cote, and engaged
Cote to box, through him, as he was
the man who did business for Cote last
time. On April 14th I received a letter
from Cote himself asking for moro
money to fox * * in w-hf h I prompt
ly replied 1 would give him what ho
asked and thought everything was O. K.
until I saw this morning's Jot rnai. * • ®
Following are some of Cote's le ters:
| ''Hello, Roy: Say, I"heard you had
J been looking for me. Say, Key, know
.iust as much as I do if 1 tight the semi
I llnal for you the 21st you know T can

; let me know by that time I won’t tight,
i and let me know who 1 am going

" ‘Yours truly,

Manager Day states that on the re
; <>ipt of the above tetter he sent him a
: postcard the same day telling him to go
1 ahead and get ready, and supposed the
! matter was all eight. On the day the
| statement appeared in the Journal the
1 management received the following let
ter, which speaks for itself:
] “Dear friend Roy: A few lines to let

I claimed that when Mr. Pomeroy and
his men were doing the loading of
the wood, Mr. Frye had come along
and seen them doing the work and
had made no complaint: that Mr.
Frye by his actions, his work and
his physical appearance did not in
tend to carry out his part of the con
tract: and that in ,1918 the boom
broke on account of the negligence
of Mr. Frye in not properly fastening
it.
The first witness for the defense
was William A. Murray of Livermore
Falls, who is in charge of the river
operations fo^ the International
Paper Co. He testified that after the
logs escaped he made no agreement
with Frye about the picking up of
the logs. He had received a letter
from Frye in which he stated that
he had the rheumatism and could
not attend to the picking up of the
logs at Wayne Pond. Witness had
written Mr. Frye telling him that he
had arranged with Mr. Pomeroy's
men to pick up the wood. He testi
fied that the work had been done
while >lr. Frye was sick. He testi
lied that he had kept his agreement
to pay Frye for all the wood he load
ed on the cars. Cross-examined by
Attorney Carleton, witness testified
that he had made a verbal agree
ment with Frye fo£ Frye to load the
pulpwood in the cars at 93 per cord.
Upon redirect examination, he said
that when he saw Frye in June 1918
he noticed Frye's physical appear
ance, and witness imitated the way
he saw Frye walk that day.
John Pomeroy, river foreman for
the paper company, testified that he
and his men had picked up the wood
and loaded it onto the cars. Frye
had seen them doing this work and
had made no complaint.
Under cross examination he testi
fied that in the spring of 1918 lie was
directed to gather up the scattered
logs and load them into the ea-s.
He and Frye had some words over
the matter he stated.

foreman for the paper company,
took the stand. About the time that
the company's men were gathering
the logs hr and Mr. Murray together
with two other men visited Frye's
mill the witness testified. At that
place Frye remarked that he was
glad that Pomeroy was gathering up
the logs as he (Frye) was harriW 1
able to be about. Cross examined, ;
Mr. Strout declared that Frye gave
them all a drink" o^cider. waiting
upon them himself although he was
*>ent over considerably with rheu
matism.
James Galinan, clerk at the paper
company, was called. He read the |
records of the shipments of pj'p
wood that were shipped from Frye’s !
mill to Wayne. In June 1918, 165
cords were shipped in 16 ears. Cross
examined, he testified that these
shipments occurred between Jun>
12th and June 20th.
Agctor Tesier, employed by the
paper company at the time the log.
were gathered and loaded and un
load visited Frye’s mill with Mr
Strout and Mr. Murray corroborated
the testimony of Mr. Strout.
Rebuttal
Mr. Frye, the plaintiff, took 'h*
stand. He declared that he did not
invite Strout, Murray or the
men to drink of his cider. It was hi?
opinion that they broke into hiscr
lar and stole the cider. He testified
that ho reckoned the labor for load
ing the wood as 25 cents to 30 coni;
a cord. He had no idea what the
labor would have cost if there had
been on conveyor.
Mr. Murray took the stand in stir
rebuttal. He testified that'in his
opinion the average price per t or*
for loading the wood should not be
over 40 cents.
The case was then argued by coun
sel on both sides, and Judge Beane
gave the charge to the jury .a
The jury retired at 4.09 o’clock, r»
turning in 25 minutes with a verdict
for the plaintiff in the sum of $452.
