ANOTHER RACE MEET.
Associated Cycle Clubs viii Open the
Greendale Track.

0TCGHQdIC lTdChs
The success of its Labor day race
meet at Gardner encouraged the Asso-
ciated Cycle Clubs to hold another
meeting this fall, and the only obstacle
to an immediate series of races is lack
of suitable track over which to run
them. The association will not go out
of town to hold a meeting, and have
been recently encouraged in the belief
that the new fair grounds track at
Greendale will be completed in time
to hold one more meet this fall.
At a meeting in the rooms of the
Worcester Cycle Club, last night, it was
voted to hold a meet at the Greendale
track if it is completed before snow
flies. j. w. Grady was appointed a
committee to confer with the manage
ment of the track and find out when
the course is to be in shape for use.
If the track will be completed within
a month, the association will go ahead
and arrange a race meet, of which
the star attraction will be the match
race between Carni and Leclaire, which
only lack of grounds prevents. for both
men are willing and the match is prac-
tically arranged
Preliminary arrangements were made
last night for the bazaar and fair which
will be run by the clubs at Mechanics
Hall Thanksgiving day and the Friday
and Saturday following. A star list of
attractions will be offered and all the
up-to-date attachments will be run in
connection with a ball
These prizes are to be offered, among
others to be announced: For the per-
son selling the most tickets is offered
$50 gold watch; to the most popular
lady and gentleman will be given BIZ
cycles: chamber set will be guessed
away; $50 diamond ring will be voted
awav in some kind of suitable com
petition; to the most popular pool play
er will be given a cue and the hand
soonest lady will receive a gold watch

WorceSters Next
Year.

Fred Klobedanz, yesterday, affixed his
signature to a Worcester contract, and
will be one of the regular staff next
season.
Klobedanz is greatly taken with
Worcester, and for that reason, coupled

compensation, he signed, after a short
talk with Manager Leonard.
Manager Leonard was preparing to
leave the city when he landed the
pitcher He had packed his things and
was about to start for the Union station
to take the Boston train, when he met
Klobedanz. The two had a talk the
evening previous, as was stated in The

Leonard did not press the pitcher to
sign, but did not hesitate to tell Kobe
danz he was satisfied with the work
the latter did this season, and would
like to have him on the team next
year.
When they met, yesterday, it was ac-
complished in few minutes. Manager
Leonard left Worcester on the 4 IS
o'clock train. 1t was AIS o'clock when
he met Klobedanz, and before he left
for the train, he had Klobedanz's con-
tract.
