Spencer bowlers are not so many.
That is what the Worcester bowlers
were saying yesterday
And the brethren from the hill town all

they would take a hand at record break

lhey scored It had 26S pins to their credit
But lnasmuch as they did not count the
pins correctly, their record does NOT
stand. If they would be record-holders
they must try again and adopt other
than distinctively Spencer system of
1t seems that they counted strikes and
spares as though they We're PLAYING the
regular candle pin game. For instance. in

THAT BIG RACE

moor tournament next FEBRUARY
To the average lover of track ath-
letics, this announcement conveyed
only the impression that there would
surely be a red-hot race ON the even
ing of the games.
But to those who are at the head of
amateur athletics in New England. the
officers of the New England Associa-
ton of the A a. T., another phase at
once presented itself. Would they be
warranted in granting a sanction for
the games, knowing that the McLaugn.
lin Moynihan race was upon the card
In order to insure a successful meet
ing, the A. A. t. must grant a sane
ton, else all those athletes taking part
would be liable to suspension for par
ticipating in a series of games that did
rot have the stamp of approval of the
A. A. L.
The reason why the officials of the
\. A. L. would hesitate to grant per-
mission for the games, when Holy Cross
fled its application, would be because
of the doubtful standing of James j
Mclaughlin. His case would surely
have to be investigated and action ia
ken upon it before the secretary could
cNHscl3liously make out the sanction
ana assign a date
The charges brought against Nc
Laughlin are that he trained the South
bridge high school track team for four
weeks in preparation for the Worcester
county interscholastic meeting at
spencer last June, 1t does not stand
TO reason that Mclaughlin, having
nothing in common with the South
bridge boys, would care to spend four
weeks with them unless an inducement
was offered in the way of remunera ton
Tor his services. He was at that time
working in w. p. Brennan's gents fur

LEWIS WARNER.
The Jury Brings in Verdict of Guilty of
Enforcement.

Northampton, Dec. 29.-Lewis Warner
was found guilty of embezzlement this
evening, the jury coming in at 6.35 O'clock
In his charge to the jury this afternoon.
Justice Fessenden instructed them to
bring in a verdict of not guilty on the
first second fifth sixth and eighth
counts of the Indictment owing to legal
technicalities. Warner was brought into
court to hear the verdict, and was in the
same apathetic condition which he has
been in throughout the trial. The court
room was crowded when the verdict was
given. Warmers attorney took many ex-
ceptions throughout the trial. and a new
trial will doubtless be asked for.
The confession of Warner was put in
during the morning, and was the most
important thing done in court. 1t is
thought to have been written by Warner
on the night of the 18th or 9th of April
He made his flight from here April 2S
The confession is written in pencil on
single sheet of paper. In a measure, the
sentences are ineoherent. In substance it
makes a jumbled confession. He said
that when the paper was found my trou-
bles will be over" He stated he had
taken a very large sum of money, more
than $500. coo. There is a. bad muddIe; it

morning, charged with threatening

at christening that took place Christ

plainant alleges, in Polofsky threaten

Several witnesses were examined
and the court finally ordered the de-
PENDANT discharged.
Timothy Donovan was charged with
assault and battery. His wife, Mary
Donovan, was complainant in the case,
and testified that her husband assault
ed her and she wanted him sent away.
Her face looked as though something
harder than a mans fist had struck
her, presenting many bruises and dis
colorations,
Officer Alfred Harper said the woman
was drunk most of the time, and few
nights ago fell down stairs, this fact
accounting for the condition of her
face.
Her husband tried to help her home
at this time, but she refused to go with
him. Donovan was discharged
