Webster base ball management Is
anxious to know who beat them last
SaSurdav. Some say 1t was South
bridge who did the trick, others that
East Douglas was the victors and still
again another party says that it was
Holy Cross or the Worcesters who beat
Webster on Saturday last. After the
game the East Douglas manager asked
Mr.. Conway IL their game would be
played Saturday next. Mr.. Conway re-
piled no, that East Douglas had played
and beaten the Websters that after
noon. Accordingly the local nine will
have nothing more whatsoever to do
with East Douglas, and they are think
Ing seriously Of treating Southbridge
the same way.
The resignation of Charles Sholta
Will not materially injure the strength
Of the team Manager Conway is now
casting his lines for a good second
basenaRn, who win come from the Man
chesters. The new man is not yet Sc
cured. but win be here on Saturday
next, when Webster will meet the crack
nine, the Carriers, Of Franklin.
