park between the newly FORMED spencer
team and the North Brookfeld team is
the talk of the town. Saturdays game
promises to be no exception to the rule,
and both towns are stretching every
sinew to make their team come off vic
torious.
The Spencer team will be strength
ened by out-of-town players. Ceconl
has gone to his home in Boston, but
will be back again Saturday to pitch
his team to victory. With any kind OF
support Spencer should win, although
North Brookfeld may be counted upon
to have the strongest aggregation OF
players that it will be possible to get
together. Noonan, who pitched such a
good game for North Brookf1eld Satur-
day, is down to- do the twlrling, and
may be expected to make the Spencer
players hustle to get hit. Duggan
will be behind the bat for North Brook
field, and will play his usual good game.
Mayo, the best amateur catcher III
Worcester county will catch for Spen-
Ger, and the North Brookfield base run
ners will have to be up on their toes to
steal base on Mayo.
1t is expected that Worcester players
will play with the Spencer team, but
who they will be is uncertain.
Daniel Paul, who weighs 232 pounds,
has been chosen manager of the fat
mems base ball team of Mechanic and
Chestnut streets, and is ready to receive
challenge from the fat mems base ball
team of Main street The one thing
stipulated in the agreement is that no
player weigh less than 200 pounds.
Spencer abounds in fieshy men, and
a good team could be gathered together.
On the Mechanic and Chestnut streets
team would be found Fred Arseneault,
weight 240 pounds; Wilfred Gendreau,
weight 210 pounds; Daniel Paul, 232
pounds, and many other too numerous
to mention. The game would be the
source of plenty of fun, and it is hoped
that 1t can be arranged.
