Spencer, Aug. 9.-The clerks baseball
game has again aroused the old-time
enthusiasts of the game, and literally
Spencer is baseball crazy for the time
being. The Main street clerks still be-
lieve that they have the best team and
are very DESTROYS of playing another
game with their brother clerks, en-
ployed on Mechanic and Chestnut
streets
Today the representative of The Spy
called upon Manager Fred Gendreau of
the Mechanic and Chestnut street
clerks in relation to the challenge
which the Main streets issued imme-
diately after the game.
He said: You may say through The
Spy that l don't see any reason why
the Main street clerks should desire an
other game. l should think the defeat
that we administered to them would do
them for year at least. We have
won six games out of seven, and claim
to fairly outelass the Main street string
chasers. Still, if the Main streets are
DESTROYS of playing another game, we
have no objections, but would wish to
have something to play for. Let
purse of $50 be put up, $25 on each side,
and then we will play and guarantee to
defeat them But we would expect
that they play no new players Let
them play the same team as played
yesterday and we will play the same"
Manager Gendreau was very free in his
views and was very jubilant over the
victory of his team.
The Spy man called upon the BARRIERS
today in regard to the challenge issued
by the bakers for a game of ball to be
played some time within two weeks
The only barber that would talk freely
was Ernest Dufault who keeps a shop
on Mechanic street. Mr.. Dufault said:
81 don't see as we have been talking
so very much about a ball game but
still, if the bakers wish to play game
we won't back out. We are only too
willing to accommodate them. We
have better team than we had last
year, and are very confident of giving
the dough mixers a good game for their
money
Mr.. Dufault spoke for all the bar
bers, and was very confident that his
team would come out victorious For
the past two years the bakers have
won. but this year the result promises
to be far different.
Another base ball team is springing
jack. The team is to be known as the
Spencer town team and will play such
teams as West Warren, Thorndike,
Ware, North Brookfield and Brookfield.
The personnel of the team has not been
decided upon as yet, but it promises to
be one of the best local teams in the
county. Some of the men who will
probably play are John Ceconae of
Boston College, one of the star twirl-
Of tbea To1aV fa,,
of the Brown University team, and
who played right garden for the crack
Georgetown team part of the past
college base ball season; Napoleon
Mayo who had caught in all the crack
teams OF the county viii probably
again officiate as backstop. Levi Ian
gevin, formerly Of the crack Wire viii
lage team and Of the Southbridge
team will be another player Martin
O'Connor, who is now pitching for the
Brookfield team, Is slated for posi-
ion: John Howe, who was Wire vii
lagos crack second baseman, is also
down to play. A game is already part
~ arranged with the strong West War
rem team for Aug. rs.
