NEW BASE BALL LEAGUE
Rules Adopted to Govern
Inter-high School
Contests.

Upton, April Representative of
the Milford, Grafton, Whitinsville and
Upton high schools, including the prln-
cipals of the schools, held a mass meet
ing in the Upton high school building
this afternoon. Prof. Melcher Of Whit
insville acted as chairman.
The object of the meeting was to dis
cuss the rules to govern the new base
ball league of the above named
schools.
The rules as adopted are: During
the season each school is to play two
games with each of the other schools,
one on the home ground, and one on
the grounds of the other school.
1.-THE Spalding league ball is to be
used in these games.
Two new balls shall be furnished by
the home team.
1.-The ball last in play is to remain in
the possession of the winning club.
AT these games the home team is to
take all the gate receipts, and the Wis
iting team is to pay its own expen-
SEES.
"Those who have become members of
their respective high schools through
regular promotion from the grammar
schools or from some Otner nlgn
school, and are regular attendants, are
the only ones qualified to represent
their schools on the ball field.
1.-THE teachers are to be present at the
games, to be within the field lines, and
to have complete control over the con-
duct Of the game.
In addition there may be within the
lines the managers of the two mines,
not more than two substitutes, a scorer
for each nine and one 'supe' for each
nine.
1.-THE field lines shall be placed at
such distances from the diamond as
the managers may agree upon.
with the exception of the above
special rules the games of the league
shall be governed by the rules Of the
National league.
The schedule for the games will be
made out later.

MAKES GOOD PROGRESS.
The High School Grew Fast
Developing Into Right
Form.

The high school oarsmen were again
on the water yesterday, Mexican has
been dropped from the list of candi-
dates by Coach James A. Ten Eyck.
In dropping him Ten Eyck explained to
him that he should not give up the idea
of rowing, as he has good strength and
will make good man with the oar.
But on account of the short time to
develop a crew, Ten Eyck feels that he
can't devote any time to the men who
are yet iIthe rough. Mexican was the
last man to come out and has had only
a few days practice on the machines.
In the first practice yesterday Ten
Eyck rowed at No. 2, placing Cosgrove
in the bow He put Hagberg at No
3, rowing No. himself, in order that he
might watch Hagberg. The latter
gives excellent promise but has one or
two faults which the coach desired to
overcome Immediately. One of these
was the use of the slide and the other
finishing his stroke too suddenly and
creating a swirl which greatly trou-
bled No man. The fault was less no.
ticeable yesterday when Hagberg was
placed at the starboard side of the
boat, than in his previous rowing,
when on the port side. For that rea-
son he will be kept on the starboard
side. Ten Eyck paid particular atten-
ton to his work and when the prac-
tice was over Hagberg was doing far
better than he has yet done.
Ten Eyck and Crosgrove left the boat
when the spin was finished and Whea-
ton and Carroll took positions, Whea-
ton going to bow.
The work of the boys yesterday was
far ahead of anything they have yet
done and shows that they are improv-
ing every day. On account of the con-
tinued practice which they have had
on the machines the boys are able to
do their work more easily than if they
took their only work on the water. But
handling an oar is far different from
handling the oar of the machine, and
nothing but practice will make them
proficient in the former.
The lads are fast showing an ability
to keep the boat on even keel. This
ability allows them to do better blade
work and when they finished yesterday
Ten Eyck had no reason to complain
Of the ability they showed for the
length of time they have been in the
boat.
The crew will be chosen next week
for keeps. After it is selected it will be
rowed regularly twice day if the men
can stand it which the coach thinks will
be easy for them with proper care.

body at the ringside knew in the open
ing round that Lawler was up against
it for fair" and that he was outclassed
by Sweeney.
Worcester sports who saw the fight
were far from charitable in their COM
ment on Lawler than sporting men of
other cities The Worcester men dis
missed the fight with an expression of
opinion that Lawler was against a
better man. Hartford newspapers yes
terday said that Lawler quit in the
third round. That charge is unfair to
Lawler. He unquestionably showed
that he is game in the second round,
when he was sent to the floor four
times from punches and went down
once by slipping. He had to struggle
to arise in the second round. Although
he was not unconscious in the third
round when Sweeney hooked him on
the chin; he was out of the limit. Had
he been able to get up in the 10 Sc
conds the chances are his seconds
would have thrown up the sponge. 1t
looked as if they were in the ring be-
fore the full count was made.
LAWYERS remarks to the Spy man i'm
mediately after the fight and before he
had donned his street clothes showed
that he wanted to continue. He said
he did not think he was out 10 seconds.
| Had he wanted to wait he would never
make such a remark as that.
Whatever may be said of LAWYER S
assurance that he could fight Sweeney
4 and how greatly he was outclassed, it
is only fair to say that he was game
as a person in his undesirable condi-
! ton could be.

EXPECTED TO-DAY.
Clarke Will Undoubtedly
Sign the Contract on
His Arrival.

Dad Clarke, Worcester's new pitcher
is expected in this city today. He sent
telegram to Manager Leonard yes
terday saying that he would start yes
terday morning, but as he did not ar
rive last evening, evidently changed
his mind. He has not yet signed con-
tract, but will affix his name when he
reaches this city.
The next game in which the Worces-
tiers are to engage is scheduled for to-
morrow afternoon at the oval. The OPP
ponents of the Worcesters Will be the
Carriers of Franklin, on which are
Charles CANCEL, Paul Radford, Arthur
Clarkson and other good players. The
Carriers have always mad a strong
team, and the team Of this year will be
no exception.
The PLAYERS were at the oval yes
terday, both morning and afternoon,
and they will be out twice today. They
are willing set and will make team
that will delight the fans when they
get into proper working order. me
men are full of ginger and play llVely
even in practice.
The prospects for the season are I'M
usually bright, when the size OF the
Patriots day crowd is taken into con-
sideration. Holy Cross had the crowd
but that was to be expected with
Brown as it's opponents. oo
The Worcester team had nearly 1000
paid admissions, which is certainly
star attendance against such an at
traction as the Holy Cross-Brown con-
test
Many of the base ball enthusiasts
have begun to take a proper view of
the base ball situation. They recog-
nize that the management of the Wor-
cester team has not spared expense IN
getting together team that gives ev-
ery promise Of holding a high
position in the league, and such
team must be supported II worcester
wants base ball. To insure base ball
during the summer, when the people
have more spare time in which to en-
low games, the team must be supported
al the outset. for there are times when
every team has tough shedding

draws, the latter being among his first
battles He has since defeated the men
with whom he fought draws.
When asked about the Lawler fight
he said it was the easiest he ever
fought. He told The Spy man that as
soon as he saw Lawler in the ring he
knew he had a good thing. He said he
could have put Lawler away in the
first round if he tried, but was acting
under instructions of Spike Sullivan,
who told him to box Lawler round to
see4 how the latter acted. He said he
did not attempt to do any work in the
first round except try Lawler out. He
went in to finish him in the second.
He said he knew he could hit Lawler
when and where he pleased, on account
of the way the latter shaped up and
the stiffness of his shoulders. He also
added that he can't understand what
made Lawler act as he did. The Wor-
cester man held back his punch con-
tinually. He drew back to lead, but
held the blow back. Sweeney said he
heard hawler had a stiff punch, but
he did not fear it. He does not remem-
Der LAWYER striking him.
The Worcester crowd that attended
the fight returned on the train which
reaches Worcester at o'clock in the
morning. They were tired and good
ly portion sore for the LAWYER delega-
ton was large. There were nearly 800
Worcester men at the fight.
The soreness among some OF them be-
gan to show yesterday among a few
who think they know something Of
boxing. They endeavored to spread a
report that LAWYER was drugged be-
fore he entered the ring. The foolish
ness OF such a report was apparent to
those who witnessed the fight. Every

Conqueror of Lawler
Talks About the
Fight.
SAYS 1T WAS EASY.
Match Between Winner Of
Hartford Bout and Flah-
.erty a Possibility.

Patsy Sweeney, the conquerer OF
John j. Lawler, came to Worcester
yesterday afternoon with his manager,
Spike Sullivan, to meet George T.
King, VINO was associated with Sulli-
van in the backing of Sweeney in the
fight Wednesday evening.
Since the fight considerable talk has
been heard about the possibility Of a
match between Sweeney and Joe Fla
herty who trained Lawler for the
fight Northing of an authentic nature
has been heard, nor have any of the
Lawler men made overtures for such
fight. But the suggestion came from
the Lawler camp and of course reach
ed the ears of King and Sullivan
Spike Sullivan would say nothing on
the point when questioned yesterday by
The Spy man. When asked if he
would match Sweeney against Fla
herty. he replied: You can say that
/ will fight Flaherty if he is looking for
a match, or if the Lawler people want
a chance to get their money back |

LAWYERS friends said they would back
LAWYER against me after he beat Swee-

ney. Inasmuch as the first part OF the
program didn't go quite TO their liking
perhaps they would like to send Fla
herty up against me- He is better
man than Lawler. 1 don't see what
the Lawler party is looking after. Fer
haps they want cinch. Why, Flaner-
ty has been in the ring for several
years and is man with good repu-
tation. Do they think ] will match a
youngster who is fighting his first sea-
son against a man with his experience.
1 have made no remarks about F2a-
hertys ability as compared to Swee-
ney's, nor do I intend to. Then, too,
Flaherty is considerably heavier than
Sweeney. OF course I couldn't tell the
Lawler people that. I couldn't tell
them that ne would weigh under 12S
pounds. But he did all right. They
knew more about Sweeney's weight
than I did. 1 want to tell you that
Sweeney trained only five days to get
down below IFS pounds. and the day
before the fight he was at 127 pounds"
Mr.. King, who was listening to the
interview with Sullivan, at once spoke
up, saying that he thought Sweeney
good enough to go against Flaherty
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-04-21

even if the latter is an experienced
man and is heavier than Sweeney.
He said he would be willing to give
the Lawler men a chance to get what
money he won back. He asked Sullivan
if he would allow Sweeney to hight
Flaherty under any conditions. Sulll-
van said as far as a fight itself went
he would not object, but if any side bet
was to be put up King would have TO
assume the responsibility himself.
Sullivan said he would hesitate about
putting any money against Flaherty.
Mr.. King said to The Spy man; l
think this Sweeney a great little man,
and would be willing to risk some mon
ey on him, against even Joe Flaherty.
l won 1910 net on the fight against
LawIer, and as it is all chance l reel
that 1 would not be playing a losing
game if [ risked some of it against
FIaherty. l could afford to loose a few
hundred and yet be ahead of tn. game.
I don't think Flaherty would nave a
cake-Walk by no means. sweeney is
good enough to carry my money, ana
ali I would ask Of Spike Sullivan Is
that he get Sweeny in as good condI-
ton as be. was Wednesday evening. II
don't matter to me If Sullivan hesl-
tates about backing Sweeney agaihsl
Flaherty for a side bet. am Wiling
considerable for me.
Paul ]. Henry took every cent OF
LAWYER money that was in sight, giving
big odds in some cases, and pulled out
about $500. Spike Sullivan is richer as
a result of the fight by about $500
Those three were the principal betters
AGAINST Lawler. They were eager fol
wagers and gave all kinds of odds.
Sweeney came to Worcester yester
dav afternoon on his way to his home
in Manchester, N. H. He was accom-
panied by Spike Sullivan, his brother
John Sweeney, and Sullivan's Drothel
John. They left for Boston on the SO
o'clock train last evening. Sweeney
has not another battle in sight, bu
does not think he will be long idle. Tht
chances are he will not be, for unit
the close Of the boxing season severa
clubs will undoubtedly see his serv
ices. He is a good drawing card in thii
vicinity.
Sweeney is modest, unassuminG
little fellow, who rarely speaks unless
first spoken to- He has a strong Celtic
cast of features. He is only 20 years
OF, age and has been fighting less thar
a full season. He came to this country
from Galway, Ireland, seven years
ago. and two months after reaching
here went to Manchester, n. H., t
live. He never boxed as an amateur
and was never instructed in the art o.

DEDHAM ROAD RACE.
3. C. AIdrich Of the Newports Only Wor-
cester Rider to Get Place.

B. C. Aldrich of the Newports is the
only Worcester rider who has been
given place in the Dedham road race.
He is placed sixth by the judges. The
other riders who competed felt sure on
their return to Worcester that they
would be included among the 25-place
winners when the judges had straight
ened things out, but the report of the
judges does not place them. Aldrich
had start of two minutes and finished
the 10 miles in $3.50. actual riding time.
The other riders feel that a mistake
was made by the judges. But allow
ing that the judges We're correct, the
Worcester men need not feel disap-
pointed with the work they did. They
entered the race under a considerable
handicap. The riders in and around
Boston have had several weeks in
which to prepare for the race while the
Worcester men have not had as many
days. The roads about this city did
no. permit anything like training for a
road race until the last few days. With
a few weeks more practice, the Wor-
cester men will be in the first bunch
every time.

FOR A CLUB ROAD RACE.

Delegates from several bicycle clubs
in Worcester will attend a meeting this
evening for the purpose Of arranging
for the club road race over the 1O-mile
course. The purpose of the meeting is
to begin arrangements for the race, the
date Of which Will also be decided on.
There are many things to contend with,
the principal one of which is a feeling
that the race means nothing among BIZ
cycle men. The dissensions of past
years and bad decisions which mis-
placed riders, prevent the clubs from
placing any confidence in the race.
