a little unpleasant feeling, but moth
ing more was accomplished.
The distance runs We're easy for Mo-
ran in the half, and Deadly in the mile.
The latter made a good race in the
half, but there was evidently some
understanding between him and
Moran, for he let Moran come in ahead.
However, the latter could have done
so had Deadly wanted to fight it to the
tape. Tom McQueeney did some ex-
cellent hurdling. The committee fur
nished only 16 high hurdles and 20 low
ones, so that only two competitors
could run at time. That necessitated
several heats in the high hurdles, Nc
Queeney beat out Gallagher and O'Gara
of St PauPs. handily before he was
finally awarded first place. O'Gara had
a bye in the first preliminary he ran,
and Gallagher, racing against a club
mate, had practically the same, so that
McQueeney's performance was excel
lent. He had two hard heats He
and Gallagher raced for first in the low
hurdles, O'Gara and another runner go~
ing for third They did not all run in
the same heat. 1t was a peculiar con-
dition of racing, but it was as nothing
compared to the pole vault, when three
st. Paul's men, the only. ones entered,
placed the bar about eight feet high.
Two of them jumped it, and the other
failed, and the prizes We're awarded
as they chose.
Powers had cinch in the high jump
and throwing the shot, but Smith
pushed him hard in the jumps, partic-
ularly the hop, step and jump IN which
Powers got first by an inch only
The Worcester ball teams were the
first 20 play, although the others mad
been scheduled for 10 O'Clock. Sacred
Heart had Schneider, who has pitched
for South Framingham this season, in
the box, and he allowed his opponents
only three hits. One cause of the effec-
tive pitching on both sides was that
the committee furnished cheap balls,
which could not be hit out of the dia-
mond. Ar old ball that got into play
occasionally offered the good stickers a
chance. The feature of the game were
catches by Sheehan and Riedl, and d
long drive by "Sho" O'Brien, which
would have been a homer but for d
momentary stop on second, due TO
misunderstanding on a ground ball. The
score of the game was as follows: Ly-
ceums 8, st. Johns Guild A.
The other ball game ended disgrace
fully. The contesting teams were ST
JerolneS OIL Holyoke and Father Ma
thew of North Adams. They played
along for six innings and half, with
the score three to one in favor of ST
Jerore's. They were at the bat, With
two out ard two men on bases, when
ball was thrown wild back of catcheN
One of st. Jeromes rushed from the
bench and sailed into the catcher to
prevent him chasing the ball The
North Adams shortstop, seeing the net,
FASTENED in to hunt the ball. but an
other st. Jerome man rushed at him
and held him up. The crowd then took
hand, ana there was considerable free
fighting disgrace to the field day.
The rolice finally took hand, but they
did not escape unscathed. They stopped
fight between spectators and arrested
the one who appeared to be making the
most trouble.
The summary of the games and the
score of points made is as follows:-

| The trip home for the Worcester Wis
! itors was excruciating. It was late
when they got away from the park, and
| all were worried whether they would
| be left or not. The electrics ran off the
track, delaying transportation for
| many minutes, and other conveyances
were so slow that nobody felt at ease.
J However, the trouble was all borrowed.
| Instead of starting at 7.20 o'clock, as
| was currently reported, the Worcester
| train was the last to pull out and did
not leave until about o'clock Every
| way station on the return trip Wit
messed the hating of the train, and it
| was 11.35 o'clock when a tired party
| pulled into the Union station silently
humming I'VE won't go there any
more"
