fowl being killed by a single blow.
Spencer birds were mostly blacks and
greys, while Cherry Valley and WOr-
cester fowl were reds. Spencer won five
out of eight fights, and Cherry Valley
won four out of seven. 1t was esti-
mated that over $500 changed hands
on the results.
One special fight was pulled off be-
tween Spencer and Cherry Valley par
ties, the latter winning.

GOSSIP ABOUT COMING GAMES

Webster, June 25.-Stock of the Web
| ster base ball team is on the 1000 mar
gin and still soaring. The second de-
feat that Capt. Stafford's aggregation
| administered to Clinton yesterday, 10 to
| 6, this season, and the numerous other
games she has won has finally placed
the team in high standing before the
eyes of local people.
Manager Conway took his pets to
Clinton yesterday with the determine
ton to win. He had a regular cinch,
and the local fans are wondering why
the visitors can't get together a good
team. There are none of them too strong
for Webster, and like the East Douglas
axe makers all have fallen beneath her
victorious and onward march to the
top of the heap.
The two new men that played with
Webster did great work. They were Fox
and Brennan of Holy Cross. They will
play with Webster for the remainder of
the season. 1t is rumored that Merits,
the star Webster catcher, will sever his
| connections after the dual games with
Southbridge on the Fourth.
Brennan Of Holy Cross will take his
place. Webster will lose the best catch
er that ever stepped foot on the local
diamond. Brennan, however, is a crack
ajack, but is not in Meritts' class, al
though he will prove fast enough for
Webster and will make a valuable
acquisition to the team. Nobody has a
word to say about Fox, for his qualities
are known by everybody. He is a sec.
ond Collins.
Great interest is centered on the
games with Holy Cross in the guise
of Southbridge, as they have a half
dozen players of that college team, and
from all reports received here, South
bridge is just as enthused as the mill
town is. The games are the talk among
the sporting fraternity in both towEs.
Money will be galore next Saturday
and the Fourth when the first three
games of the series of five are to be
played.

The time is not far distant
when there will be no small
