THEN CLERKS WILL PLAY BALL.

North Brookf1eld clerks issued their
challenge to play the Spencer clerks,
the Spencer bundle makers have been
waiting for some communication from
the North Brookfields, directed to some
one of the Spencer clerks, but as yet no
word has been received in Spencer
from North Brookfield, outside of what
appeared in Worcester paper-not
The Spy, saying that North Brook
field would like to play August 15 The
Spencer clerks do not consider this Of
fetal, and will take no notice of any
such an article, especially when it ap-
pears in the paper spoken Of
The Spencer clerks have met and
chosen w. E. Carey manager and Levi
Langevin captain. Capt Langevin, in
conversation with The Spy reporter to-
day, said IF the North Brookf1eld
clerksare so anxious to meet us on the
ball field, and try conclusions; why
don't they send us official notice of the
time and place that they would like to
play. There is no use in waiting this
way, and wasting our time practicing
if the North Brookfields are not anx-
ious to play. l am sure that as far as
the Spencer clerks are concerned, they
are all only too willing to play and to
go in for a good time, but if North
Brookfield clerks are so slow suppose
he will have to stop practicing and give
up all hopes of showing them how to
play ball.
Now, if the North Brookfield clerks
are in earnest, let them address a let
ter to VIM. E. Carey, stating when
they would like to play, and stating the
conditions on which they will play
Nothing could be fairer or more honest
than this proposition that I make"
The statements of Capt. Langevin
will be upheld by every clerk employed
in Spencer, and all the North Brook
field clerks need to do is to address
their communications to w. E. Carey
stating when and at what place they
would be willing to play.
Daniel Hunt, employed at Healy's
farm, between West Rutland and Pax
ton, was arrested this morning at 10
O'Clock by Officer George F. McKenna
Hunt was charged with stealing hat
and other belongings from the house
of Henry Fiske, on School street When
arrested, Hunt had on a straw hat be-
longing to Fiske's oldest son. Hunt
claimed that he borrowed the hat, but
this did not go with Officer McKenna,
who arrested him.
Hunt was one of the participants in
the row at the West End early Sunday
morning, and in the battle lost his hat.
This did not bother Hunt, who went
this morning to the home Of Henry
F1ske, and without any oqe finding it
out, he, it is alleged, sneaked into the
house and stole the hat Later on
Officer McKenna was informed of the
loss and traced Hunt up and finally
landed him in station l. Hunt is an old
offender, having served time before,
once for term of six months for
stealing money, and a second time for
term of two years for stealing
horse. Hunt will be up before Trial
