The people of Millbury are frequently
disturbed Sunday afternoons by a few
fresh youths from Worcester Sunday
afternoon four young fellows came to
Millbury on the o'clock electric car
and got off at the center, They INDUCED
in indecent and boisterous converse ton,
insulting pedestrians and acting other
wise in an obnoxious manner. When
near the high school building they stood
in the middle Of the sidewalk, as the
people were coming from the Church of
the Assumption, making the church.
goers take the road or else work their
WY between the youthful hoodlums. A
local officer told Spy reporter, Sunday
/ evening, that If these acts were repeated
next Sunday he would see that the Gull
prits had chance to face Judge Utley
| the next day.
| The following paragraph appears in a
| New Britain paper: 1.-THE crack Millbury
basket ball team of Millbury, Mass,
may appear in this city before the sea-
son is over. This team defeated all the
strong teams in Boston and vicinity and
would probably make the Regulars
play their best scientific game to win"
The article has caused considerable
comment in town, and the supporters OF
the Millbury team are confident that
their pets can defeat any team In New
England. The defeat of the Millbury
team at Milford, Saturday evening, has
caused excitement in town, and the Mill
bury rooters are now convinced that
their pets had better do more team work
and less "grand-stand" playing. In the
Millbury town hall the boys, while play
| ing, know Just where to throw for bas-
ket and get many "luck" goals; but
when they are playing in different hall
their luck throwing works to a disad-
vantage and they are defeated: capt.
| Porter of the North Shore A. c. team
said after Saturday nights game that
all the Millbury goals were luck throws
and in a neutral hall they could defeat
| the Millbury boys. This is by no means
the first time that the lack of team work
has been criticised by out-of-toWn tai
emit, and the Millbury kings are aware
of the fact. A manager Of a Worcester
team stated to a Spy reporter few Gays
ago that if the Millbury boys did more
team work and less grand-stand play
ing they would put up twice as strong
a game as they do at present. The ABOVE
criticism does by no means apply to
each player, butfa few individuals who
try to cover themselves with glory
