WITH A VENGEANCE.
High School Athletes Take
Hold of Outdoor
Training.

Last week the crack athletes of the
high school and Worcester academy be-
gan training for the interscholastic
games which will be held at the oval
June 10. The academy lads had a few
days start on the high schools, but
the latter begin with a vengeance to-
day. Thomas J. Kenney, one Of the
best known runners Worcester ever
turned out. will assume the duties of
training the high school boys today.
The securing of Kenney has given the
high school boys great confidence and
they look forward to turning the tables
on their rivals from the hill institution
for the latter's pronounced victory at
the indoor games in March.
Kenney is certainly the best trainer
the athletes of Worcester high school
ever had. The work of past track teams
Of that school has been cOmmendable
for the excellence of their perform
ances. the more so as the athletes have
invariably been under a handicap from
lack of proper training. The culminat-
ing point of bad training was reached
at the indoor games when crack ath-
letes of the school were worked stale
by incompetent handling. The men
would have done much better If left
to their own devices.
The following athletes will answer
the call of Capt. William H. Moran to-
day: 100 yards dash, Jourdan, Booth
Kenney Baker and CrOnin; 220 yards
dash. Booth, Jourdan, Kenney, Baker;
120 yards hurdle, Burke, Henry, Lyford;
quarter-mile, Moran, Booth, Jourdan,
Donnelly, Pender; half-mile, Moran,
Carpenter, Warren, Cahill, Perry,
Smalley, McCauley; mile, ST. John,
Clifford, Duggan, Cahill; pole vault,
Stevenson, Carroll, Davis, Bieberbach,
Crowell; bicycle race, Davis.
There are several other possibilities,
and Kenney expects to develop men
for the field events, in which the high
school team for years past has been
lacking. Whether Johnson, DAILY and
Taylor of the crew, who are practic-
ing at the lake every day, can do any
work in the athletic line cannot be told
yet but the chances are against it.
At the Academy the following men
have taken part in the training thus
far: 100 yards dash, Duffey, Scheuber
Gallup; 220 yards dash, Duffey and Gal
lup; $40 yards dash, Gallup and Aber-
crombie; $50 Cooper; 100 yards high
hurdles, Scheuber, Stanton Gardner;
220 yards low hurdles, Duffey, Hallet,
Anderson, McDeTmOtt; pole vault,
Gardner, Scheuber, Pinney; high jump,
Gardner, Stanton, Hallett; running
broad jump. Duffey, Gallup Hallet
Stanton; shot put (16 poUnds), Norris,
Harrison; hammer throw az pounds),

TO DOWN CARROLL.
A. w. Poland of Pat
erSon, n. j., a Can
didate.
OTHER ASPIRANTS.
Election of Superintendent
of Schools May Be Holly
Contested.

It was stated yesterday on good au-
thority that members Of the school COM
mittee who are opposed to the re-
election of Supr Clarence F. Carroll,
have secured another candidate for
whom they will cast their votes Tues
day night.
The candidate, according to The Spy's
informant, is Addison w. Poland of
Paterson, n. j., formerly superinrend-
ent of schools in that city. Mr.. Poland
is a Worcester county man, and his
children have attended the schools of
Worcester. Aside from holding a posi-
ton of superintendent in Paterson Mr..
Poland has served as assistant super
intendent with A. W. Edison and A. P.
Marble in New York city. Since clos
ing his labors in this direction Mr.. Po-
land has been abroad, but at present is
located in Paterson.
Members Of the committee who are
understood as opposed to the Te-elec>
ton of Mr.. Carroll, are very reticent
regarding what may come up in the
way Of opposition. One gentleman of
among this number, said yesterday that
there were no other candidates for the
office that he knew of. Still another
stated that the opponents have several
candidates in view, who would accept
the office if the necessary votes are
forthcoming. This gentleman was un-
willing to discuss the candidates, say
ing that he was not at liberty to do
so.
A majority of the committee, how
ever who will talk on the subject, seem
TO be of the opinion that Mr.. Carroll
will be reelected. Several of the dem
ocrats, who have been figured among
those who would vote against Mr.. Car
roll, may be counted on to vote in his
favor in event Of a close contest. One
prominent member Of the minority
stated yesterday that he might not vote
for. any candidate unless his ballet
was required to elect Mr.. Carroll, when
he should cast it in his favor. Several
others of the democrats may be figured
in the same way, or as in favor of Mr..
Carroll from the start
Last year the vote Of the committee
was Z for Mr.. Carroll, eight scatter
ing, four members of the committee be-
ing absent. The year before there
were 10 votes for Mr.. Carroll, eight
scattering. and one member absent,
This year the friends of the present
superintendent claim he will be elected
easily.

MC'QUEENEY CHANGES.

Tom McQueeney startled Worcester
athletes yesterday by a challenge to
run any amateur in Worcester county
almost any distance from a half mile
TO p miles. He prefers Remington of
Fitchburg at half mile, and James
j. Mclaughlin Of this city at a mile.
There is a little fellow whom Nc
Queeney did not name, but who will
give McQueeney a start. He is J. J.
Moynihan of Holy Cross. The little
fellow has been feeling poorly for sew
eral days, but when the terms of Nc
Queeney's challenge We're told to him by
The Spy man, he said: III run him a
half and III give him a handicap. He
don't have to look for a scratch race
I'll meet him in The Spy office at any
time and I'll give him a race for either
a half mile or mile, and I'll give him a
start at that
