Rogers-Boat Race
Today.

j. P. Irwin is anxiously waiting to
hear from D. M. Booth, manager of Ed
die Durham, the Canadian sculler, in re-
gard to a match race with 'Ras Rogers
at the lake next month. Nothing has
been heard from the Durham party for
several days, the last word being that
they would make the match. Mr.. Ir-
win, acting under Mr.. Booths direc-
tons, is waiting for telegram which
will bring him to Plattsburg, N. Y, to
make the necessary arrangements.
A hot boat race is on the card for
single gig and John H. Meagher and
DR.. M. P. Higgins in double gig, will
race on the upper course this after
noon. The race is creating much talk.
Thorne has rowed in gigs and shells
for years, and can make a gig travel
fast. The others have not given such
attention, but can handle the light boat
all right, and members of the Wachu-
sett Boat Club are divided on the win
ming boat.
The Forty fives' enjoyed supper in
the Wachusett Boat Club house last
evening at the expense of e. M. MORT

spread, for Mr.. Moriarty never does
anything by halves.

and find great enjoyment in it.
Others from their club went to the
oval to see a ball game between office
and shop teams of the Norton Emery
Wheel Company. 1t was a warm strug
gle. The shop team won by a remark
able squirt in the eighth inning. In
the opening inning, the shop team made
nine runs, while the office men made
only one, and it looked like a soft thing
for the men who work in the shop. But
they were held back while the office
crowd jumped ahead and when the sew
enth inning was played, the score was
10 to IA in favor of the Office. Nobody
could see where the shop team could
break into the game, but 1t did in the
eighth inning. 1t made nine runs in
that inning, which sent it ahead by a
score of % to 10. The office players
made only three runs In the ninth,
making the final score % to % in favor
of the shop team. The batteries We're
