Let John l.. Sullivan umpire the game.
1t will be too scrappy for Jack Willetts.
The crowd was the smallest of the
month. Everybody is waiting for today S
game
ONeil ought to get a frame and wear
It about his face. He'd look nice in a
frame.
terday on the number of fights that will
occur today.
Danny Mccormick is the real mascot
and ought to be given place on the
bench regularly.
The errors made by Klopf and Kuhnss
didn't count, but those by Boyle and
Rickert counted double.
No catcher in the league can cover
ground after foul flies like Bransfeld
He is showing that every day.
Worcesters crowd yesterday was the
smallest for months but at that it was as
big as Cincinnati had. Each had 800.
Buckenberger rowdies witnessed the
game and started to yell for Syracuse,
but they stopped in the first inning.
Hickman continues to hit the ball fierce
ly. Instead of being released by Boston,
he'll drive somebody else to the stables.
If there are to be any mix-ups in today's
game, the Worcesters should see that
the rowdies get all that's coming to them.
Charlie Scott is no longer q hoodoo.
Not until be left, because there were
thirsty people up town, did the Stars get
ahead.
When the moon rose last evening it
had bloody look, which some of the
fans interpreted as presaging fun in to-
days game.
Boyle and Rickert didn't win the canoe
race, but they won the ball game. The
only fault to be found was that they
won it for Syracuse.
Syracuse players discovered yesterday
that Bransfield is not favoring his arm
when a man tries for second. He had
some of them by yards.
Klopf and Boyle came together with a
rush on a fly ball, but Klopf held on to
it. Boyle wasn't satisfied with making
errors, but tried to make Klopf drop the
ball.
sharrott's one-hand catch of Lynch's
fly was wonderful. He got late start
rays and could not get both hands on
the ball.
Klobedanz vows he will win today's
game. Mrs. Klobedanz is in town, and
she has seen him do good work on former
visits. Here's hoping he will show faster
PAGES than ever.
Mrs. Miller left yesterday for visit to
Fall River She can read in The Spy the
accounts of the ball games and appreciate
the good work her husband does on the
slao during her absence.
The Worcesters ought to give Mickey
gum to chew and have him expectorate
on the end of the bat if Mickey knows
what that is He spat on Kuhns bat in
the ninth yesterday ard Kuhns drove out
a single.
If Horton hadn't been so generous with
his bases on balls, the errors of Boyle
and Rickert wouldn't have counted so
much. Horton should get his wits work
ing and conclude a part of the respon-
sibility is up to him.
Neither DR.. NJ. P Higgins nor John II.
Meagher, members of the executive COM
mittee of the N. e. A. R. A., attended the
meeting in Boston last evening. They did
not receive the notice in season and had
previous engagements to attend.
Mickey, who made himself famous by
giving a story of a ball game to The Spy,
was on the bench IN a Pawtucket uni
AOtAl Sul uoWH W III LIle OCCdSlOu, anu
also the boy. Some of the spectators
couldn't make out the name on the shirt
front and thought it was Pawn ticket"
A wager Of 500 to $50 on the Brooklyn
Boston game today was made in the Sher-
wood House last evening by John Foley
and George P, King, the latter taking the
short end on Boston. Mr.. King announced
that he would make three more wagers at
the same odds, but was not accommo-
dated.
Fans at yesterdays game were specu-
lating why O'Loughlin Is nicknamed
silk" One suggested in irony that 1t is
because he Is so fine. Another in the
same strain. thought 1t is because he is
so smooth. The real reason was hit on
by fan in the press box. He said II is
because he does not wear well.
There isn't member of the Red brigade
now who would balk at wearing an opal
as big as a peanut, writes Rem milford in
tho Cincinnati Post. Superstition was put
to rout on three counts in that Boston
opening. When the Ohioans arrived at
the Hub" the train steamed into the de-
pot on track 10. That 18th victory was
one of the most brilliant In Cincinnatis
sequence of successes, while the fear that
they might be anchored in the 10 hole was
Immediately destroyed with enthusiasm.
Manager Griffin of Syracuse was called
on last evening by several base bah en-
thusiasts who desired TO wish him good
luck before he leaves Worcester for keeps
The team played its last game IN this city
yesterday, and goes to Providence this

be q gentleman at all times. q lesson
