respect would be felt more in Satur-

has played this season. For the first
time in the season. the Tech team got
against a team of it's own weight 1t
has been forced to play on the defense
in nearly all it's games, as it's weight
could not tell against heavier teams.
Saturday it was on equal terms with
Technology in this respect, and had the
misfortune of being deprived of it's
strongest aggressive combination.
Holy Cross played in Fitchburg
against an athletic club team, giving
Worcester people little chance of COM
pairing its work with what it has done
previously. However. while no such
chance was offered, the work Holy
Cross is doing in practice doesn't speak
very highly of the methods of the
team. Almost every day a new star is
being discovered. He is a wonder in
the eyes of those who run the team,
when his light rises above the horizon,
but it goes out before it reaches the
ascendant Holy Cross is making al
together too many changes in its team.
If it's men were laid up, there might
be some excuse for playing different

SHAKEUP IN ORDER.
Yale CoacherS Determined
On a Big Up
heaval.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 29.-The Yale
foot ball eleven arrived in this city
early this evening from New York
The players from Capt. Mcbride
through the list to the farthest sub
stitute, were quiet and reserved, offer
ing no explanations and seeking no
sympathy for the defeat by Columbia.
They all seemed to realize that the
biggest shake up in Yale foot ball his
tory will be on the schedule for this
week. Nothing officially can be learned
of this, as Capt. Mcbride is not to be
found nor will Manager Rockefeller
talk.
1t is learned, however, that coachers
galore will be on Yale field this week,
ex-Captain Frank Hinkey, Billy
Rhodes, Frank Butterworth, Pa Cor
bin, Fred Murphy and others being
expected with assurance of their com
ing. Murphy Is already here with head
coach Rogers. The team itself will
without doubt be overhauled not only
in manner of playing but as to its per-
sonnet.
Admittedly Sharpe proved himself
far overrated. In practice he shone with
brilliancy, but in the game of yester-
day and the week before he was a
disappointment. Ihere is strong ue-
mand among the undergraduate that
he be left more to himself and more
attention given to Richards and Adams
as halfbackS.
Dupee will possibly be put in at end
to liven things UP. as he is fast and a
fierce tackler With Gould he would be
a decided improvement on Thomas and
Schweppe. A determined effort is be-
ing made to get Gluten, last years CEN
tire, to come out, and with some likeli-
hood of success.

WHERE ARE BRookFIELDs?

Manager Bouchard of the Vernon A. G.
foot ball team went to Spencer Sunday
afternoon to meet Mr.. Humphreys of the
team picked from the four Brookfelds
and Spencer that desires to play the YER
mons for a purse of $25 Thanksgiving day.
Mr.. Humphreys had the audacity to say
last week that we were afraid to play his
picked team He desired the pick of all
the neighboring towns, while he restrict
ed us to the dozen or fifteen men that
played in Fitchburg about three weeks
ago. We sent him the names of sixteen
from whom we would pick our team. He
absolutely refused to have anything to
do with us unless we played the team he
named. On further consideration of the
matter as our men were anxious to play
the game, we agreed to play.
We made arrangements with Mr.. Hum
phreys through last Saturdays Spy to
meet him in Spencer this afternoon, but
he failed to appear.
Now If Mr.. Humphreys is as anxious to
play us as he was a week ago, we will
give him a chance to do so. This TIME
we will have something to say about ar
ranging the details. He must come to
Worcester to meet US.
This is final.
Mr.. Humphreys, by his actions in re-
gard to this matter. seems to be a man
with lots of talk but with little back
bone Still, as we are anxious to play the
game. we will give him a chance to show
his sand.

AND THEN LEAVE THE RING.

Thomas j. Sharkey's career as a
prize-fghter is nearing its end.
After his go with Jeffries he will meet
Maher and Fitzsimmons, and then re-
tire to private life. The sailor has been
fighter in every sense of the word
since his first appearance in the ring,
and he declared yesterday that when he
had met the three men named he would
have done all that the public could eX-
pect of him. He may get married.
This isn't game for man to spend
his life at" said Sharkey. Success
comes to him as long as he is young,
active and prudent, but in due time he
becomes back number, and when you
are a has been fighter you are dead
one for fair. There is absolutely no
chance for you. Occasionally you may
whip another stiff, and thereby get
enough money to live on, but that is
about all. So long as you are victorious
the diamond dudes and blown-up sports
will break their necks trying to shake

BAGGED Two BIRDS.
Game Wardens Grab Seine
Fishers at Leices-
ter Reservoir.

Game wardens of this vicinity have
laid low for few Sundays past, but
were out yesterday looking for game
and bagged two birds.
The latter were Fred L. Biscoe and
Elmer F. Edwards of Spencer, who will
today answer to the charge of fishing
with a seine net in the Leicester reser-
voir. The statute allows a fine of $50
for that offense.
They were caught by Deputy Game
Wardens Henry A. Mower of this city
and Timothy McCarty of Leicester.
Mr.. Mower started out yesterday on
the lookout for Sunday bird hunters.
He sought out Mr.. McCarty, and they
secured the covers about Leicester.
They had heard complaints of guns be-
ing fired in the woods about the town.
They didn't find any gunners but they
found Bfscoe and Edwards at the
Lynde Brook reservoir. The men were
on the land using a seine net, and had
taken several fish. Mr.. Mower threw
the fish back into the reservoir and
confiscated the net which will be pro-
duced for evidence in court today.

UP TO THE TIGERS.

To the Editor of The Spy The Byron
Athletic Club would like to have the
manager of the Tigers of North Brook
field explain his actions of last Saturday.
Friday afternoon I received a letter
stating that they would be sure to come
and play us.
Every preparation had been made to
make the stay of the visitors a pleasant
one. We meant to show the Tigers that
teams who come to Worcester were not
accorded the same treatment that we re-
ceived in North Brookfield.
Saturday noon letter came saying that
the Tigers could not come. How such a
change could be wrought in So short a
time is beyond our understanding.
Many tickets had been sold for the
game, and the members of the team left
their work to be ready.

that way can expect to get games / do

BRISK BASKET BALL
viii Be Played Worcester's Catholic
Young Men Tonight.

There will be hot game of basket ball
this evening in Father Mathew hall, in
which the contesting teams will be the
Catholic Young Mems Lyceum and Father
Mathew Society teams.
The same teams met last Monday, and
the lyceum team won by a score of 10
points to 6, making five goals from the
field to two field goals and two free try
goals for the Father Mathew. The game
of last week was a spirited contest, in
which the score does not show the rela-
tive merits of the teams. Father Mathew
team put up good game, but its playing
was attended by hard luck in the first
half. several easy goals being missed which
ordinarily would be scored. Had the
team experienced the luck which was rea-
sonable to expect the score would have
BEEN much closer.
Father Mathew makes a change this
evening, Hehir going into the game in
stead of Cullen, who played last week
The latter will substitute with Pepper
Charlie White of Millbury will referee
White has a reputation of keeping the
play clean, which Father Mathew men
think will benefit them and make the con-
test more equal. The last match was GER
tainly rough, and severaf palpable fouls
were made which were not called. How
ever, the lyceum team was not the of
fender all the time. The outcome of to-
nights game will be watched with inter-

Connor was used only in the shot put
last year, but will be trained for track
events also this winter as his wonder

at the oval, Oct. IL, stamped him as a
conner.
Batters will doubtless win his H. C.

and there are many others who promise
well among whom are Sheehan, Burke,
McCarey, McGoyern, Jones, Harrigan,
Roache, Hardigan. Mccarthy. Reddy,
O'Reilley, Morrison and w. Sullivan.
Manager John Ward, when question
ed yesterday, stated that no decision
had been made as yet regarding the
holding of an indoor meet this winter;
but that there were no reasons as far
as he could see for not doing so, and
that it would probably be held about
the middle of February
The training table will not be started
until about one week previous to the
Christmas holidays, and hard training
will not be forced upon the men until
then.
