ball team was in Spencer today, ana
made final arrangements for the great
game to be played at Railroad park,
Spencer tomorrow, between teams rep
resenting Spencer and North Brookfeld
Two games have been played by the
teams, one in Spencer and one in North
Brookfeld The first game was
played in North Brookfeld, and resulted
in victory for the Spencer team by a
scor. of 10 to 8. Game was won for
Spencer by superb pitching of Ceconi, the
Boston college crack, who is summer
ing in Spencer. After this game the
North Brookfield management at once
asked for another game, to be played
on the following Saturday, Aug. rs. To
this Manager John T. Casey of the
Spencer team agreed, and a game was
arranged The game was a comedy of
errors, and lasted. three hours.
The outcome was a cause of dis
pute. Three correspondents of as many
newspapers caught the score as IL TO 10
in favor of the Spencer team when the
game was finished, but the official
scorer who was a North Brookfield
man, caught the score 10 to 10, thus
making the game tie. Spencer OBJ
jected to the score given out by the
official scorer but North Brookfield in
sisted on the score as caught by the
North Brookf1eld scorer. Manager John
T. Casey of the Spencer team agreed to
have the tie played off at Railroad
park, tomorrow.

listed between Spencer and North

that are now at the electric light plant
are to be replaced by those Of the Bush
company. The Gilbert lamp will be used
instead of the Ball & Thompson and
Houston lights now in use in Spencer.
The machinery for this new system is
to be purchased from the General Elec-
trio company of Boston The lights are
to be swung across he'street instead of
