The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-06-28
SPORTING NOTES.


Only one error and that an excusable
President Marston sat on the players
bench.
Brouthers home run was surprise to
himself.
1t was ladies' day. and all the fair ones
were out.
Lampe was very effective after the sec
ond inning.
The Jack olanterns will be out galore
Friday evening.
Worcester horses will figure prominent
ly at Dover this week.
Burke has learned lesson, let us
hope. Perhaps it's impossible.
Wonder how the president of the Wor-
cester club enjoyed the game?
The Rochesters have rightly earned the
reputation of being great kickers.
Curley did some gosi hitting for Spring
field in the second game yesterday.
Rather early In the season for fox hunt
ing. It's like the straw hat in April.
Rickert can't be beat when it comes to
getting the sphere into the diamond.
All wheelmen should get out their dark
lanterns and get into line Friday evening.
The mile track dreamers have rolled
another pill and the visions are fantastic.
Wanted: Three more umpires like
Doescher.
Pray for good weather Friday night.
The event is to prove the unique feature
of the summer.
Pennsy up. Poor Cornell was third.
Columbia trails the quartet. 1t came
near being Wisconsin's race.
Major Taylor and Tom Butler VIII both
be out to win the three-heat match race
at Charles River Park July /.
It's a pretty race in the Eastern League,
and one days play is liable to result in
many changes In the standing.
The meet of the Associated Cycle Clubs
will be great success, judging by the
way the entries are coming in these days.
Notwithstanding the fault found with
Worcester's team work, they never have
given their opponents five runs on single
hit.
Manager "Bilr' Murray says the Bos-
tons have got rare good man in Frisbee,
a player superior to Stafford in every
way.
The injury to Pittenger yesterday will
cripple Springfield if it keeps their best
pitcher out of the game any length of
time.
Please, Springfield. beat Montreal to-
day, and we will try to do up Syracuse.
Such a result will place us on top of thu
heap.
Kuhns' playing reminds one of the old
nursery rhyme, when 1t is good, it is
very, very good, and when 1t is bad, 1t is
horrid.'
Which club will have the largest turn
out next Friday evening is the question
that is agitating the local cycle clubs Of
this city.
That was great work in Springfield yes
terday, winning two games from Toronto,
and taking the second with the left fielder
in the box.
Get in your entry for the meet of the
Associated Cycle Clubs before the Both of
this month, which is Friday, when the en-
tries, close. s~
The local riders are getting out for some
kind of reforms, and look to the new con-
sulate Of the Associated Cycle Clubs to
bring them about.
The Worcester riders at Charles River
Park are going fast in the daily training,
and can be depended upon making the
cracks fly when the races are ridden.
Yesterday was a tough day for the
northern clubs of the Eastern League
None of them won a game, and Toronto
lost two, dropping from second to fourth
place.
Aaron Wolfsen, secretary and treasurer
of the Massachusetts division of the L. A
w, viii come to this city to give the
formation of the local consulate an i'm
petus.
Worcester never gets discouraged at an
opponents long lead. The only time the
nine appears to quit is when. they them
selves lose the lead after gaining it. The
last two games they have lost are ex-
amples of this.
The more sportsmen think about It the
more convinced they are that the new
Bay State Gun Club is in fair way to-
ward solving the trap shooting problem
locally. The plan appears good, and If it
proves practical the trick is done.
Peter Turney, 2:11A, will make his first
start Of the season at Dover this week
The expulsion of Barney does away with
one of the old rivals of the gray ghost
and there are few in New England in the
same class with the hoppled PAGER.
The. performance of the chestnut geld
ing, Orlando, adds another name to Gov.
Bentons roll of honor as a sire 1t is
within reason to predict that Orlando will
give the Worcester stallion another name
in the 2;20 list before the season closes.
Notwithstanding the optimistic views NJ
President Young regarding the prosperity
of the game this year. the facts are the
other way. II was said that the returns
would be better when the wal. with Spain
was over, but the clubs are making even
less money than they did last season.
Boston Herald.
W. H. Clark, who owns the principal
interest in the Empire City Trotting
Park. and who also owns the great
Banastar, caused a sensation as The
owner to whom Jockey Maher is under
contract at $4,000 a year, that he would
pay him his salary but not permit him
to ride for him or any one else during the
two years of his contract.
Bob Fitzsimmons evidently does not
want Sharkey to have the laugh on him,
so he will not make a match with him,
The himsy reason he gives for not taking
the sailor on Is that Sharkey would not
make match with him when he took
on Jeffries. If Fitzsimmons thought he
could defeat Sharkey, he would not let
the opportunity slip by.-Boston Globe
Hanlon says: I'VE have a nice lead.
but it's a long time from now to the
finish, and there is no telling what may
happen 1 am not claiming the pennant
yet, and 1 won't until I find that there
is no way to beat US out of 1t. I had
counted on the services of both Maui and
McJames, but neither has shown his last
game every day, 1 would not be at all
uneasy
Chairman Batchelder of the n. C. A.
board of control says: "Over a score of

ever in his life. and that he has every
confidence that he can defeat such

the greatest popular idols. He will ride
