training He has had two or three
good offers to play base ball profess
sionally this year, but did not consider
any Of them seriously.
kitty Bransfield's many friends in
this city and in Grafton are talking Of
giving him some kind of a, send-off be-
fore his departure for the south with
the Boston team, next spring. At pres
emit he Is working at his trade here, but
is taking some outside exercise to keep
mis- muscles hard and firm Bransfield
has played so long with what might be
called local teams that ne has made
host of friends here, and they do not
intend to let him step into the ranks
Of the leagueTs without showing him
in some substantial manner their esteem
and appreciation of his ability as a ball
player.
The Bostons will probably report in
Boston on Saturday, March 49, They
will leave for the south that night, and
will arrive at theip training ground
ready for work on Monday morning.
The trip will include games with the
University of Pennsylvania, the Univer-
sity of North Carolina and some other
southern colleges. Coming north, the
team will play Princeton couple OF
games, and then a short trip through
Pennsylvania is among the possibilities.
It looks now as though the league sea-
son would open with Boston away from
home. in which case it is extremely
doubtful if any preliminary games will
be played in New England.
Jimmy Callahan, the Fitchburg boy
who did such good work with Chicago,
writes that at present he is at Amherst
College, attending to the candidates for
the pitchers box. He expresses himself
as well pleased with the material at
hand and promises some good results.
Besides the coaching given by Callahan,
professional pitchers are to be hired to
pitch to the team until the men learn
how to use the stick. Last season Am
herst lost the championship pennant in
the triangular series through inability
to hit the ball. although excelling in
the field, and it is not proposed to have
the thing happen again this season.

Naturally, the matter of players will
be one of the most important things
The idea on this point is to have the
managers agree that there shall be no
dickering with the players on other
teams after once manager has Sc
cured them. Too often in the past in
ducements Of bigger money have led a
good man to leave team with which
he had been playing for a number of
games, for some other county organiza-
ton. This has been done more than
once, almost at the very hour of the
game, leaving the poor manager to
hustle about and get the best that was
left.

The following teams will be invited
to send representatives to talk over the
whole question and take such action as
may, in the opinion of the majority, be
deemed expedient: The Lyceums. the
Fairmounts, the Graftons, the West
boros, the, Websters. the Spencers, the
Whitinsvilles and the East Douglas
team. In this way the managers of
the various teams can have a better
understanding and can get together for
tine good of the game and their own
advantage

Both Westboro and Webster appear
practically certain to be good ball towns
in '98. 1t was not SO many years ago
that Saturday afternoon games in those
places paid well and drew big crowds.
In Webster the game seemed to die a
natural death, owing principally to lack
of ball grounds. But now the story comes
that the new street railway company
there stands ready to fit up base ball
park and do a little something towards
starting a team on its feet. Once the
wheels are set in motion, Webster, with
its boosted love for sport, should regain
its prestige as a good base ball town
with a properly managed team
Down in Westboro they nave made an
attempt for the past two years to main
tain ball team, but each time it has
been met with failure. The trouble was
that when the season opened, Westboro
had not fairly got under way. and in
stead of waiting until her team was de-
veloped, she would jump IN and play
too strong teams. The result was inev-
liable. The Westbo1o boys would re-
turn home with overwhelming score
against them, or else, If Inc game was
played ON the home grounds, the spec
tators would leave disguised before the
agony had ended. Now there is talk
Of starting out anew, and a minstrel
show to begin filing the ASSOCIATIONS
treasury, has been suggested. The
movement is being made by hustling
fellows, who realize what the base ball
public there wants and propose to give
II to them. There seems no reason why
