We areehappy to present as our gpest speaker tonight a man whose name is known and loved wherever the doctrine-of democracy is preached. For many years this man has been an honored resident of a distant country, but he has returned tonight to speak a IEW words to his beloved nation. I present to you Mr. Abraham Lincoln.N WFe1low Americans, it is witho mingled pride and sorrow that I speak to you tonight--pride because of the greatness to which this nation has risen, and sorrow because of many faults to be found in it. WToday our country is engaged in the most titanic struggle in history. Although the end is not yet in sight, policies and ideas are being outlined. Some are practicalg some, idiotic. However, before we are ready to 'Pluck the mote from our brother's eye, we must remove the beam from our own.' Ulm our beloved land we have had tremendous race riots, indica- tive of our lack of love for even our fellow countrymen. we must learn to look with greater tolerance on those whose color, ideas, and speech are different from ours. We must learn to put the good of the country as a whole above our own desires and needs. After we have done this, we can approach the peace table with a hope of making a better world. WLet us not deal too harshly with those who are our enemies. It is true that the leaders and those who have brought the nation to this terrible conflict must be punished, but let us remember that there are many who may not be responsible for the things they have been forced to do. NWith malice toward none, with charity for allg with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right let us strive on to finish the work we are ing to bind up the nations' wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan--to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.' R. Frederich THEY STOOD ALONE Nearly every night now, Allied planes are blasting Germany. Night after night we are paying them back for the destruction they rained on England in the fall and winter of B940 and the spring of 1941. England stood alone then, a gallant nation that defied Hitler's might. Britain won by an alarmingly small margin. Friendly nations held their breaths and prayed for this h ave island that wouldn't say die. The agony that England endured is beyond our comprehension. The first blow came on September 7, 1940. Thousands of fires were started, and thousands of people were made home- less. But this was only the very be- ginning ef the horror which we call 'The Battle of Britain.' A few thousand fires a night were nothing strange. Some of these blazes con- sisted entirely of sugar, tea, rum, and other commodities. The gray dawn showed London's streets to be a mass of ashes and littered wreckage. Uh- accountable numbers were made home- less, but the kind English country people opened their hearts to them. Invasion was expected at any minute, and the Home Guard was on call day and night. They prepared to defend room by room Buckingham Palace, which was heavily mined and could be destroyed at a moment's notice. Yes, after the fall of France, the English stood alone, but only in a military sense. In our hearts, we prayed for them and our prayers were not in vain. Today, England is more than Germany's equal. She is Germany's superior, capable of 'returning with interest all that she took.' Norma Smith '45 THE AGE OF OPPORTUNITY We are approaching an age of the greatest opportunity for youth. To us and to the youth of the world will fall the task of erecting a new and better world from the rubble of this war's devastation--not only building a new material world but also creat- ing a new feeling of brotherhood among the people of the world. The new develo ments in science and industry which are certain to follow the great discoveries coming out of the war and the change-over from war production to peace time production will open tremendous pos- sibilities to youth. We are told that after the war there will be thousands of new homes and buildings to be constructed since it is impos- sible to build them now due to war restrictions. ' On the continents of Europe and Asia there will be tremendous opera- tions requirodstn the building of new roads, homes, dams, bridges, rail roads, and public utilities. We will have the responsibilities for building up the health of entire populations who have been living on starvation diets for years. This task alone will require the atten- tion of thousands of trained nurses, doctors, and public health workers, It is our duty that we prepare to take advantage of all these op- portunities. we have a responsi- bility to mankind to fulfill. Let those who now can attend school do so. We must try not to look upon school life as drudgery, but as the highway by which we may reach new heights of opportunity and attain- ment. Lst us stop wasting time and settle down to do all we can to end this war and then to be prepared to take our place in the post-war world. R. Frederich THE FOUR FREEDOMS From the beginning of time, man has always cherished in his heart the ideal of freedom. He has always dream ed and hoped for the time when life would be completely happy and peace- ful. But man has discovered that he must fight for this dream to secure it for himself and his posterity. Never before has man expressed his hopes quite as concisely and clear- ly as when he applied the term NFour Freedomsn to his idealq One instinc- tively knows that in his mind this man is saying HMy Four Freedoms.N But exactly how does he apply them to himself? Quite possibly he might be thinking thus: 'My first wish is the right to express myself as I desire--my free- dom of speech. I do not expect to abuse this privilege by entirely un- warranted criticism, but this is my nation end my life. My right to ex- press the things I feel should be questioned by no one. HI want the right to lift my heart in simple and earnest prayer to God--my freedom of religion. I want to be able to approach God as my conscience dictates. 'For everyone everywhere I would want freedom from want. There would be no little children whose eyes say, I'm hungry and cold and afraid. Let no one be denied clothing, food, and shelter. WLast but equally important, I would like to see a happy peacetime world, one that has freedom from fear. I want no one to wake up at night, terrified, because hundreds of bombers are roaring overhead. I would like all the small nations of the world to live without fear of their larger, more powerful neighbors.N Surely, if men are willing to give up, for the present, their hopes and dreams, and perhaps, for always, their lives, there is no sacrifice that we can make which is too great. We must make the peace after this war a lasting.one! Norma Smith '45 FEDERAL SECURITY AGENCY SOCIAL SECURITY BOARD YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARS WHEN TO GET IT Get a social security card only if you go to work on a job that is covered by the Social Security Act --a job for a store, office, fac- tory, hotel, filling station, tele- phone company, or other business or industry. genlt get a card if you go to work at farm work on a farm, in a private home, in any non-profit religious, charitable, or educational organization, or for the city, county, State, of Federal Government. Such jobs are not cov- ered by the Social Security Act, and a social security card will be of no use to you in such employment. WHERE TO GET IT You can get your social security card at any field office of the Social Security Board. Your school, your employer, or your post office will tell you where the field office is. IFor Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford Counties the field office is at 125 Main Street, Lewiston, Mainey WHAT TO DO WITH IT Your social security card has your number on it, no other person's card has the same number. Report your number to your employer, to every employer, part-time or full-time, provided it is a job covered by the act. Your employer must put your number beside your name when he makes his report to the Government showing your wages and social security premiums. WHY HOLD ON TO QT The number on your card identifies your social security account. You will need it whenever you take a job that is covered by the act. You will need it when you file a claim for monthly payments So kee I E it safe. To make doubly sure, take off the lower half, or stub, and put it in some place where you can always find it. If you should lose your card, take or send the stub to the field office and get a duplicate card. Don't get a new number. Make sure you got the same number. One card, one number--for a lifetime! A Summary Because of the present shortage of teachers, the school has been forced to drop its Industrial Art course. This was a real loss and it is hoped that a new teacher may soon be secured. The Home Economic Department gave valuable service to the commu- nity in many ways this year. Last fall several hundred cans of food were processed. During the winter from December to April approximately 2,000 hot lunches were served. The girls also repaired and upholstered the furniture belonging to the Dramatic Department. There have been three teachers this year. When Miss Churchill left to obtain a more lucrative position, in Bridgeton, Miss Bryant was secured from the F.S.N.S. Then last semester we were fortunate to have the ser- vice of Miss Purkis, another F.S.N.S. student.' A new course in Radio Code was added to our curricular in response to government demands. The course was required by all Junior and Senior boys. At the end of the year one section of the class had attained the maximum requirement of twenty words per minute, while others have completed requirements of ten and twelve words per minute. Again, as last year, we have had a physical training program. Under this program both girls and boys have had three three-quarter hour periods per week. Much progress has been made and a large percentage of the students should be eligible for special certificates of award. In response to the request of a number of senior boys, Solid Geometry and trigonometry were added to the courses offered. These were both half-year courses and valuable additions to our school. Several public dances were sponsored by the school in addition to a number of Friday-night socials for students and faculty only. The students of Rangeley High School are very grateful for the patient and self-denying service of our faculty. We realize how fortunate we have been to have the privilege of attaining such a fine school, especially in a town of this size. The editorial staff of the Tattler is grateful to all who have aided in the publishing of this, our twenty- eighth edition. Especial credit is due the Commercial Department, which has done much to aid in this work. ALU MN! CLASS OF 19h3 Constance Wilbur, Post Graduate, Rangeley, Maine.

All over the great carrier there was a hum of activity. Men were scurrying about, doing their own in- dividual tasks. Through the mists could be seen other great ships which also were travelling to the same mys- terious point. There was an air of unreality about it all--ghostly ships pounding on through the blue water of the Pacific. He was startled by a voice at his elbow, 'Hot coffee, Sir?n NThank you, yesn he replied, and thoughtfully watched the re- treating back of the steward. Where had he seen him before? mused the officer. It was strange that out of the two thousand men on the carrier, the first one he met seemed familiar and set his mills of memory in action. He wondered why at the last minute he had been ordered aboard this great floating airfield. He had been writing his report at his desk in the Naval Intelligence head- quarters when a call had come through for an officer to sail with the NBunker Hill.n .J Thus a week passed. Twice they sighted periscopes. Each day planes from the carrier scoured the sur- rounding water for evidence of Jap action. The fifth day out one of the destroyers picked up a man, evidently the only survivor from a small mer- chantman reported sunk three days be- fore. That night as he stood on the bridge, the lieutenant was surprised to see moving near one of the planes a man dressed in the clothes of a mechanic, The fellow worked around the plane for several minutes and than moved away and back into the shadows. As he turned, Lieutenant Riggs caught a glimpse of a rather edark face with a very long nose. That was all. The next day one plane failed to return, reporting that because of engine trouble, it must land at sea. Late in the afternoon one of the destroyers picked up the pilot, who only by great exertion had managed to escape before the plane sank. His report gave no evidence of foul play and yet it set Riggs to thinking of what he had seen the previous night. That night the same thing hap- pened again. Riggs immediately ran after the fellow, but his quarry el- uded him and escaped down a hatchway. Riggs returned and looked the plane over, but he could find no damage. The affair mystified him--the steward who looked familiar, the mechanic who worked at night, the plane which for no apparent cause had engine trouble- all had aroused his suspicions. As he was musing, a petty offi- cer epproached the captain, 'We must reduce speed for three hours, Sirn, he said. 'We have burned out a bear- ing in the port engine. Apparently it was sabotage, for we found emery dust in the oil.W Very evidently there was someone on the great ship who did not want it to reach its destination. Riggs realized the seriousness of their 5 predicament. They must wallow along at barely Steerage way for several hours in enemy infested waters. The rest of the convoy could not afford to wait and therefore their only protection would lie in their planes and 1511611 BGCTSCY. It was only a few minutes later that a submarine was reported sixty miles away and evidently heading for the flattop. Somehow they had been made conscious of the ship's plight. Things were moving fast. The next few hours proved to be the most ex- citing of Carl Riggs' life.

An encouraging but not decisive act- ion. The captain, realizing their serious position, had sent the men to battle stations. As Riggs was passing along the after-deck, he saw a strange object at his feet. It was a small badge which he immediately recognized as a Jap secret service medal. Now he was getting somewhere. He saw approaching him a figure bent over as though searching for some- thing. Riggs stepped back into the shadows and watched the man give up his search, turn, and walk off. As he turned, Riggs again caught a glimpse of the same man whom he had seen working around the plane after dark! Riggs now had no doubt in his mind and immediately man after the fellow, who, surprised by Riggs's sudden approach, immediately sur- rendered at the Lieutenant's command. After escorting his protesting prisoner to the brigg, he sought out the captain to give him his report. When he told the captain, he was sur- prised at the strange look which came over his superior's face. 'You hauled him in, did you?n he chuckled. WHe's the head of the Intelligence Service in New Zealand!' Riggs, rather disgruntled, left the bridge with a humiliated feeling. He vowed then not to rest until he had discovered the saboteur.

Brotherly Love Friedrich Froebel strode from his office into the streets of Bruck, a city in Austria, of September 1941. on the first day The autumn sun was streaming down on rounding the peaceful There was no evidence ness of war here. If look upward, he would what the city was gov Austrians. An upward the hills sur- little city. of the grim- onO'did not never know but rned by look, however, revealed to the eye the scourage of all mankind. It was the cold, black, Nazi flag. Herr Froebel was a Colonel in the Nazi's war machine. When the war had broken out between England and Germany, he had been only eight- een, but he had persuaded his father to allow him to apply for foreign duty. At that time the Germans very kindly had allowed boys of eighteen and under to remain in Germany proper. To keep the mothers of the Rhineland happy they said! Colonel Froebel's first assign- ment had been in France. There he had showed his knack of organizing men and materials into a compact fighting unit. He had been promoted to the position of a Lieutenant be- fore that fatal day when all his dreams had been shattered. He could never serve dear Fuehrer on the field of battle now. It had all happened so quickly. He had been at the railroad station, instructing the German guards to tighten the net around the station. WIt must not be molested,N he had been saying, when there had come a X loud cracking and reading of timbers. One of the huge timbers of the station had crashed to the ground. Lieutenant Froebel had been crushed beneath it. His right arm had been bent at a gro- tesque angle. Two weeks later the doctors had decided to amputate. The bone along his entire upper arm had been crushed to a pulp. It would never mend they had said. Friedrich had been made bitter by that.: He had begun to hate mankind. Why had he not gone to Austria with his younger brother to learn to be a doctor when he had had his choice? Now he would never be any good to his Fyehrer or to himself.- Sick at heart he had taken his orders of release from active front- line duty and had gone back to the capital of the Rhineland, Berlin. There he had stayed for six months learning to use the artificial limb he had been fitted with. During this time he had begun to get interested in the German secret police. He had be- come quite friendly with one or two of the officers, with the result that he had been appointed as a puppet of ' Austria. One day in June, 1941, Friedrich Froebel had arrived in Bruck, Austria. After having been there only a short time, he had made himself, truly, a ruler with an iron hand. The natives looked upon him with scorn. He was hated everywhere he went. This had made him sink deeper within himself. He had one and only one consolation. He had over one hundred Gestapo agents under him, trained and skilled in the art of killing and maiming poor, innocent people of occupied countries As he strode out into the au- tumn sunlight this day in September, he had no misgivings. Why should he, he thought, These poor, simple peas- ants couldn't harm him. But Herr Froebel was due for a great surprise. In the distance he could hear the staccato report of a motorcycle engine rapidly approaching him. It brought a message from the field head quarters of the Gestapo agents. A band of Guerillas had annihilated the personnel of the post and had slipped away, back into the hills after the assault had taken place. One of them had been wounded and was being held captive by the reserves of the post. He was one of the leaders of the group. Would the Colonel care to question the man? Of course he would It would delight him immensely. Colonel Froebel returned his Luger to its resting place in its case. There was a tight grin on his face. After all, a man didn't get a chance to kill an enemy of der Fuehrer every day, especially if the enemy was your own brother! Bo ' Narrative Essay NOVER THERE' The bombs and grenades were bursting all around us. Life was but a matter of seconds. In my money belt was an urgent message that had to go through. I was not worry- ing about its falling into enemy hands because if a Nhitn were made, it would be blasted to bits with my body--or, if the enemy got too close, it could be destroyed, but I had to get through. Perhaps you are wondering who and where I am. I'm an American pilot, 3 hot down in France, behind the front lines. It's about 11.35, almost mid-night. The surrounding O sights aren't very pleasant.

Young boys laugh- ing, singing, talking of Hback home,' one day, are blown to bits the next day. By the bright flares of the burst ing bombs it was light half the time. The great concussions from the bursts, hurled bits of bodies everywhere, and the smell of burning flesh was always in the air. The heart-tearing screams of the dying, the roaring of spit-fire engines falling through space is no nightmare. It's real, so real it makes you shudder. Well, I had to get started, so, tilting my helmet, I checked my rifle, took a last drag on my cigarette, and made a dive for an empty bombshell hole. Crawling and squirming my way along, I made slow and painful progress As I crawled along among the bodies a few feeble their last eyes glaze hands clutched at me in hope n The W in the burst rx Q4 y the dead's of the flares, wrenches a guy's heart, and tears at his soul. They seem to be watching, always watching as if they always lived. By now I had reached the barbed fence. From now on, it would be mostly by trench. QI could almost I stand up herel. From the quarters on, a messenger would take the dispatch by ambulance. There was a blinding flash hurling me to the ground. Re- covering, slightly dazed, I made sure to be more careful, kept lower than I had been. Crouching,--very low, almost crawling, I rounded the last corner. Taking a quick look, I gath- ered my bearings. In a straight angle from my right, was the post. Five hundred yards from me was the only thing that would bother. It was rather a flat, open space, but it was now or never. Crouching low and sprinting with all my speed, I was on the way. One fourth of the way my heart was pounding wildly. One half the way it seemed that I hadn't gone ten feet, and that every vessel in my body were bursting. Three fourths--then the whole earth blew up under me. I was conscious only of taking a long ride. When I came to, I was in a hos- pital with a great many other guys-- or, should I say in part of a hospi- tal? It, also, had been bombed. mongst the ruins a sort of shelter had been constructed. The first feel- ing I had was that of a series of pains in my left foot. I tried to sit up, but the stabbing pain made me lie still. I put my hand down to rub it, but there wasn't any! I couldn't find any! Gasping painfully, I scream- ed out, WIt's gone, it's gonein I had only one leg, only one leg, only--one-- leg. These words floated by in a continuous stream. I buried my head in my arms and cried, cried like a baby. Next I realized some one was turning me over gently. I thought I was dreaming. Opening my eyes I thought I saw a face, but it was too far off. I felt a jab at the stub of my leg which I later knew was a hypo killing the pain, and I dozed fitfully. When I awoke, with a cold sweat on my forehead, I looked to make sure I hadn't had a nightmare. The pain was still there. I couldn't see why I hadn't been killed. I Looking around, I saw other guys as bad off as I. A great many were worse off. Over in a corner there was a youngster with both arms gone. He was muttering and babbling like a feverished child. I began to con- sider myself lucky that I had one leg, and was alive. From one of the fellows I learned that the dispatch had been taken from me and was, probably, on the way. The next morning dawned cold and damp. I awoke early but already the shelter was astir with nurses and orderlies. Everything still seemed a far off dream, but slowly I accus- tomed myself to the realness of every- thing. About 11:10 two of the order- lies approached me with a stretcher and said, 'Sir, you're going home.' Home? The words thundered in my ears and warm tears filled my eyes and moved slowly down my face. Home! Patricia Reckard '45 nsszsr LINCOLN, nm na: or na: PEOPLE' A little girl with long blonde curls and blue eyes, dressed in bright gingham, was tightly clutching her mother's hand. The mother, who resembled +he girl as to hair and eyes, was dressed in matching colors. The child, who was always one hop ahead or behind her mother, was trudging up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The child spoke. 'TMnna, why are there so many pillargqn 5 The mother answered. 'You see, in Lincoln's time there were thirty-six States and each of these pillars represents a State. Mr. Lincoln wanted to keep all those States in one Union.W By this time they had reached the interior of the'Memorial. The child gazed with awe at the impressive figure whose 'paramount object had been to save the Uhion.W The mother, whosei emotion was not so easily apparent, nevertheless had a look of wonder on her face, and she reached out as if she were trying to touch this Hman of the hour.' nM8mH, who was Mr. Lincoln?' the child asked. The mother, not knowing quite where to start, finally replied. WMT. Lincoln was born in a log cabin. The Lincolns were poorer than you and I. Abe grew up in the wilderness with few books and with much hard work. He acquired the name of nHonest Aben and read the Bible with deep sincerity. 'Honest Abe' became a small town lawyer. His life was gradually widened in scope, and he slowly became known to argreat many people in the 'Old Northwest. He ran for the Senate against the illustrious Stephen Douglas, but although he lost, he still fought on. He was nominated to the Presidency and won. An unknown power seemed to guide him in the way that he was to go. During the strife between the States, he held together 'These United States.' Only after his work was done, was he assassinated. ' The child had by this time wandered away from her mother. The mother realized that she had told the story of Lincoln's life in words that a child could not possibly understand. But how was one to relate a story of so great a man? She looked up at Lincoln and wondered whether she had done justice to a man whose npen had set so many people free.N The child suddenly asked. Wlill Daddy see Mr. Linco1n1v The mother felt a lump rise in her throat and said, NYes, even Daddy may see Mr. Lincoln! Mr. Lincoln believed in the common man, people like you and me. He believed in the things our Daddy was fighting forg Democracy, our home town, Main Street, and most of all, you and me.n Suddenly the spell was broken. Al- though they wandered about the Memorial, their eyes always searched for the Man in the chair. They walked slowly out of the building and into the milling crdld. J.

With it about 900 citizens are also buried. A trip downstreet, which in the summer is a pleasant walk, in the winter is considered a dangerous safari. Motorists fa few still exist, coming into our town, often over-shoot it by three or four miles. The banks are so high that-the business houses are invisible for the same reason, and the resulting indirect lighting often causes visitors to remark how bright the northern lights are up here. Although Winter begins officially on December 21st and ends on March 21, our winter has thus far never been that brief. While other towns are practicing baseball in the spring, Rangeley boys and girls are still going to school on snowshoes. ' But when the snow does go and the sun discovers that we are still here, we have three months of the most beautiful summer weather imaginable, In fact sometimes the snowhplow has a whole month's vacation.

Ip f Ye Gods, our banker's a crook5 A TRUE STORY Cwritten for Mr. Lamb by Arthur Ramos, a student at Camp Waya-Awi.J Q ' It was on the evening of April 20, 1938. I had been asleep about four hours and a half when I was awakened by rumbling noises, coming it seemed from the road. I did not pay much attention because I thought it was an avalanche such as occur all the time at that season in Austria. I turned over and went back to sleep. When I got up the next morning, I looked out of my window and down the hill toward the village. There in the square was a new flag, a red one with a swastika in the middle of it instead of the red, white, and red flag which usually was there. The noise I had heard was that of trucks and tanks which belonged to the German army. The Nazis had marched into Vienna at ll o'clock and had conquered Austria by mid-night. They met with no resistance as the people were too surprised to do anything. That afternoon when I went to the village with my older brother, things were different. The streets were patrolled by Hitler's blackshirts and by regular soldiers. The police station displayed the German flag and was quarded by two more blackshirts. Inside, the Gestapo lived. Many stores were closed because they were run by Jews. Every- where you went you would hear UHeil Hit1er,N and after a while it becamse very tiresome. I had lived in St. Antone seven years and I knew nearly all the children and many of the grown ups. When I left in June of 1938, I felt badly, for I had to leave my home and all my friends. When we left, my mother was allowed to take only a certain amount of money out of the country. The rest she gave the town. You might say that the Austrian people like the Germans, but after living with the Austrians seven years, my family knows differently. to V , l fi gixkft fy, KE , ix ' f yr my ff .

The first game was played at Strong on December lO. Despite the scoring of Foster of Strong, Rangeley came out on top by a score of 53-25. On December 15 the return game was played on Range1ey's floor in much the same manner as the first game, the final score being L8-21 in our favor. For the second straight time Pillsbury netted 20 of the winning points. The next game on the slate was with Kingfield cn cur own floor. We realized that Kingfield was the big threat to our league championship. This was a fast game with Rangeley never beirg put out of the lead after the first two minutes of play. The half-time score was lu-8 in our favor. As the second half opened, Kingfield's boys slid two beautiful shots through the net, making the score lt-12, but Rangeley then went to work and built up a lead, finishing strongly with 3h points to Kingfield's 20. Stratton was our next opponent. As Kingfield had beaten them 38-2, we were out really to show them something. However, we were sur- prised. The Stratton boys fought all the way up to the final whistle. The final score was Rangeley 38, Stratton l7. we then traveled to Kingfield on the twenty-eighth. we needed this game to clinch the league champion- ship. The Kingfield boys, led by Red Tibbetts, came out looking for revenge. This was a fast hard- fought game. The half-time score was Rangeley 22, Kingfield 18. During the half-time Mr. Tilton had but one thing to say. That was, uStop that redhead.n Irish, our king pin, did just that. Abie stuck to Red like a leech and while he held him down, the rest of the team slid the necessary points through the hoop, bringing us a LO-28 victory. Special mention should be made of our guards, Bernard Ellis and Gib Philbrick, as they consistently, dropped in points from mid-court. The next game was played at Farmington. This was a closely con- tested game and, though we led with but two minutes to play, we were beaten 32-29. Many fine compliments were received from the Farmington people. Phillips came to Rangeley for the next encounter. The game was not very close, ending fifty-six to twenty-three. It was Bing Russell's lucky night as he rolled in twenty- seven points. The next game was with the Wilton Eagles at Wilton. They were led by Joe Dyke, who caged 26 points to beat us A3-23.

Williams then proceeded to tame the Strong boys, allowing one hit in the first inning. Both teams went down in order in the second. Rangeley scored one run in the third inning, bringing the score to 2 to O. In the forth Williams doubled follow- ing singles by Collins and Russell, bringing in another tally. The fifth was our big inning. Fields and Pillsbury reached first on errors, then Russell doubled, and Williams followed with his second double of the day. Berry drove in Williams with a single to bring the score B to 0. The sixth was scoreless. With one down in the seventh, Russell homered making it 9 to 0. The eighth and ninth were scoreless for Rangeley. Strong came up for their last time. Toothacker of Strong reached first on a single and then advanced to second on an error by Russell. Williams get the next two men on slow grounders, 1 but Toothacker advanced to third on one of the plays. This brought Brac- kly, their star, to the plate. Strong rooters were hollering for a hit to bring that man on third in and pre- vent a shut-out. Williams pitched beautifully and struck the man out on four pitches.
