The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-07-18
SPORTING NOTES.


Capt. Carr seldom fails to make at least
one hit in each game.
Hamilton always makes himself felt
when he returns to the game.
When Worcester makes only run or
two, it allows its opponents none at all.
Worcester is still on top. certain Boston
papers to the contrary, notwithstanding.
The contest between Toronto and
Springfield for fourth place is positively
thrilling.
With Hamilton back in the game at
Boston, the local fans are again bowling
for Frisbee.
The probabilities are that four of the
national banners will come to the Wachu-
sett club house.
The Boston men who saw. Ned Ten
Eyek rowing, didn't lose confidence in
Maguire's ability TO beat him.
Victor Ekberg expects to break into
the league circuit this week and get a
slice of the money in future meets.
Worcester wheelmen will be pleased to
learn that Jimmie Casey will be allowed
the record from New York to Boston.
Kerns, in the intermediate at the ma
tional, will meet Keefe, who scored AL
victory over him at Springfield, July 4.
The entries for the. Quinsigamond re-
gatta close tonight at midnight, and the
board of management expects a big race.
Frisbee in Is games with the Bostons
has a batting average of .31S and field
team.
1t looks as if Worcester will come back
in first place. II it does. it will be doing
better than anybody expected when the
team left.
The English sporting officials say Burke
and Quinlan are all right. That is not
news to Americans, who have seen them
on the track
O'Hagan and ex-Umpire Burns should
fight it, out for the championship belt.
The public would delight in seeing both
of them belted.
John Anderson is a fixture at first base
for the Brooklyns and there is a notice
able improvement at that bag since he
displaced Mccain.
Plover are scarce and shooters are not
on the hills these hot days. When the
flights begin about the middle of August
the fun will be on.
The Worcester team will return to the
heart of the commonwealth as they left
it, balancing themselves neatly on the
percentage pinnacle.
Champions crop up in Worcester every
day. Billy Marsh is the latest in three
jumps and the double put which consists
Of seven hops and steps.
The Worcesters will be greeted by a
big crowd upon their return to the oval
Thursday. The record of the trip is de-
serving of a big attendance.
The Boston clubs are fortunate in Sc
curing such entries for the national re-
gatta as Ten Eyck, Mcguire, Whitehead
and Mcdowell for one race.
The Rochester justice promptly dis
charged the. Rowdies. If they had lost
that game, they would have got term in
the workhouse, at the very least.
Frank Nerns ,rowed on the Charles
river, Sunday and his work was closely
watched. His new shell, being built by
Davy will be ready in few days.
The Boston firemen, 1t is said, will back
Joe Mcguire heavily in his race at the
national regatta. The betting is likely to
be done on Mcguire and Ten Eyck
When Major Taylor and Jimmie Casey
push their tandem in the International
championships at Montreal they'll show
the way to some of the crackajacks.
Walter Curley is playing a great game
for the Ponies. Mr., Gleason probably
His legs We're like the brick. They stayed
up.
Providence people keep wondering why
that team doesn't win. Well Providence
people are not the only ones who wonder.
It's a good team and ought to stand
higher.
The financial success of the Quinsiga-
mond regatta Is assured. 1t now remains
for clubs whom Worcester men have
aided to success to make the racing end a
success.
The Worcesters couldn't hit any too
we'll yesterday, so they made up In base
running what they lost in hits and won
out. That's all right; everything counts
in ball game
Garvin Chicago's find, took his turn on
the road of all finds, yesterday. He forgot
that necessary requisite, an anchor, and
found himself in the air when he should
be on terra ftrma.
Rochester scribes persist in clubbing
the Farmers the Saucemakers. 1t is safe |
to say they will make sauce of certain |
rowdy ball players when the latter next |
appear on the oval.
None of the professional oarsmen in |
their challenges touch jim Ten Eyck |
Probably because there would be chance |
for a race Jim is in good shape from his |
daily practice with Ned.
The entries for the national regatta |
are beginning to put in an appearance at |
Boston Already two men have reported |
and are employing their time getting ac- |
quainted with the course.
It's high time for the wise ones to make |
a few predictions on the Phillies. That
team is certainly playing a great game |
of ball and won't be far out of the rum
ming when the flag drops.
John Pappalau is an example of a ball
player with an ordinary head which
doesn't call for a size larger hat every
other day after a good game. He keeps
pitching and pitching well
The Rochesters were so tired yesterday
from their incessant fighting with the |
Worcesters that they couldn't play ball. |
1t didn't seem to have any effect on the |
Saucemakers, as the Farmers are now
styled.
Roat got back into the game for Toron- |
to yesterday but he didn't set the world |
afire. Perhaps the Toronto Mail will re-
consider its verdict and name somebody
else but McQuaid as the worst second |
baseman Of the league.
1t is reported from Philadelphia that |
Juyenal may not enter the sculling races |
He is rowing in the Pennsylvania Barge
club eight and will save himself for the |
struggle in the senior Fights. This will |
Lewis chances
Charles E. Forehand, as the challenged
party, still claims the right to name the |
terms for his match with Griffith How |
ever, his ofer printed in The Spy this |
morning would appeal to any sportsman |
as liberal in the extreme.
The mile-track project is dead in spite |
of the fact that the turf and horse pa
pers persist in saying that Worcester is |
to have one and are drawing visions of |
the Grand circuit holding forth here on |
the way from Hartford to Boston
The board Of governors Of the Quinsiga- |
mond international regatta have wisely |
to July 81 and August ], The decision will |
likely result in increased entries and the |
best boat racing seen In Worcester.
Manager Leonard announced to The
Spy Sunday evening that he would play
no more Sunday games. Tine announce |
ment didn't cause much havoc ia The
Spy Office as according to. the schedule |
Worcester has no more chances for Sun |
day games.
With 200 people at the game in Roches- |
ter yesterday II doesn't look as If the |
fans Of that town are willing to stand for |
try playing his team a decent game and |
see how it works. There's no harm try |
ing, anyway.
