AGAINST BASE BALL.
Directors of Worcester High School Ath-

Directors of Worcester High School Ath-
Ietcs Will Support no Team.
Considerable feeling was displayed at
the meeting of the board of directors
of the Worcester High School Associa-
ton, in the classical high school, last
evening, because the directors voted
not to support q. base ball team at the
high school. The project of organizing
d base ball team was started several
days ago by students and appeared to
meet with good support except in a
financial way. The team would have
to rely on the athletic association, and
whatever money could be obtained out
side the school for base ball is not sup
porting, On that account and because
they believe the athletic association has
it's hands full now with the boat crew
and track team, the directors voted
against the organization of a ball
team.
Thomas J. Ryan represented the
petitioners for base ball. He represents
that $50 students Of both schools have
shown a desire for base ball. Mr.
Ryan was warm when the base bal
project was turned down. He says a

POOR PLAN
All Corners Scheme
For Seniors
VERY UNPOPULAR.
Mcguire Says Tennis Rules
Don't Go With Rowing.

Worcester boating men who smiled at
the rule of the n. A. A. o., by which the
senior single race is made an ''all-comers''
race in which the champion is barred and
the winner rows the champion a special race
the last day of the national regatta, are
laughing now. The change does not give
evidence of successful operation. 1t was
made on account of the small fields in the
senior single since Ten Eyck began to
wallop everything IN sight. National au-
thorities in the sport thought Ten Eyck' S
entry frightened away others. The plan
was formulated to get all in. 1t is doubt
ful If the plan works.
Joe Mcclure, the crack sculler of Bos-
ton, is quoted on the rule as follows:
IF the National Association thinks that
I am fool enough to row a trial heat. fol-
low it up with a final. and If successful,
row Ten Eyck the third race in two days,
the members are not as bright as I gave
them credit. If I am to row Ten Eyck or
any other man he must line up, take his
chances in the trials and qualify for the
final if he is fast enough
Understand me. I do not refuse to do
this because Ten Eyek is the present
champion, but would refuse to row against
any fresh man after l had rowed, two
races, much less a champion.
at may be all right for tennis players
to work this 'all-oomers' game, but if
any man thinks he can row two races
against men as good as the usual field
found at a national and then take on a
fast, fresh man. would like to see him
do it,"
Joe Whitehead of Boston, Blake OF
Harvard and Juvenal of Philadelphia are
opposed to the rule. Take them out of
the senior event and there are few good
ones left

THE GREW SELECTED.
Sixteen Yale Men Will Soon Begin Train

The twelve men who will constitute the
Yale varsity eight and substitutes this
year are selected. The final eight has not
yet been arranged, but it is now possible
to pick the crew, with one or two eXcep-
tons. These are the twelve men who will
be notified that they will be required to
remain in New Haven during half of the
Easter vacation and row twice day:

recess four more candidates will be added
to this list, so as to make two full Fights.
These two Fights will be kept in training

Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that peo-

remedy claiming to be radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on their
acuteness in never being humbugged, es-
pecially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far. in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-

money in faithfully testing the claims

a GREAT BOON.

People who are all run down, who are
suffering from extreme debility and have
hardly to be blamed If they give up hope

dition so bad but some skilifui physician
can cure II. Dr. Greene, "a Temple place

MEMBERS ARE HOT,
Svea Gills People Want to Prosecute
Temperance Petition Orginators.

All was comparatively quiet in tenn
perence circles yesterday. About the
only new developments was the action
taken by the council OF the Swedish
Lutheran church on Mulberry street,
which met last night
Rev. e. j. Nystrom presented the pc
tition for signatures, but the council
voted to take the same stand which the
pastor has taken, and refused to sign
the petition as it now stands.
The pastor stated his position to be
that he could not sign petition where
accusations were made of which he had
no proof, and where O. single club was
picked out as the Svea Gille was In the
petition. He is in favor of temperance
and of doing away with club licenses,
but he does not agree with the idea
Of taking only one club, and trying to
make a horrible example of that
Rev. F. A. Engstrand of the Lutheran
church at Quinsigamond said that he
should present the petition to the mem
bers OF his church. and they might sign
or not as they saw fit. AS for himself,
he could not sign a petition which ac-
cused people of gambling and drinking
on Sunday unless he had proof that
fact.
A prominent Office holder in the Svea
Gille said yesterday that to satisfy
himself he had consulted a lawyer to
see what steps could be taken in a case
like this.
He was informed that the wording of
the petition was such that it would be
a difficult task to do anything. The ac-
cuSationS are made but in a round
robin NFh ia Ia Il
sly.
The lawyer thought that petition OF
that kind would have little weight with
the license commission, no matter how
long a line of names it might have at
tached to 1t.
Another Svea Gille man spoke of the
movement as an open act Of jealousy
against the Swedish people.
"Why don't they take other clubs and
mention them and their sacred Sunday
concerts and accuse them of selling
beer on Sunday?" said he. why is
one club selected, a club which for
years has been one of the leading social
organizations Of the city,"
Some of the hot-headed members Of
the club were anxious to do something,
but the majority wish the matter kept
quiet, and prefer to let the petition
come to a head or else die out of its
own self. No action will be taken
whether the club is refused license or
not
