CARRIERS ARE NEXT.
Webster Team VIII
Be Strengthened
For the Game.
MRS. DAVERN is STILL MISSING.
Her Husband Will Seek
Other Methods to Locate
Her-A Busy Sunday.

Webster, June 4.-Although the Web
ster base ball club had cinch yester-
day afternoon with the Willimantic
team they will have to Spruce up and
add a little strength to their line for
next Saturdays contest, for Charlie
Cancels famous Carriers Of Franklin
are booked for the local diamond.
The Carriers are the strongest team
that ever played here, and they are
considered by many of the fans to be
the swiftest country playing team
hereabouts.
The game yesterday demonstrated
that, the Webster team needs practice
if they wish to buck against such
teams as they have booked and be sue
cessful.
With the exception of one or two of
the players, who had been playing with
other teams all the week, the team did
not go near the grounds once to prac-
tice since they played Memorial day.
Yesterday they stepped on to the
grounds and after tossing a few balls
TO one another, Immediately started
the game, but before it was over they
showed what was lacking.
The fans who are paying out their
coin to see good ball playing are max
ing a kick over this way of doing bust
ness. They say that the Webster team
ought to go to Beacon park grounds
every day and practice for a couple of
hours at least and by so doing would
become more acquainted with each
other. Team work is what counts
and not individual work.
Without a doubt Tommy Saunders
Webster's favorite, and who twirled
here last summer for the team, will
pitch for Webster against the Carriers
He is now going to Cornell. Last year
not team that ran against him hit
him very hard, and there were many
games that only a few scattering hits
were made off him. Manager John H
Conway is in communication with him
now and he will know for sure if Tom
my is coming the first of next week
He will get a big ovation upon his ar
rival
Considerable dissatisfaction is being
expressed by the boys relative TO John
Gannon's work on third base, and they
say that he is not fast enough for the
team. He is not sure and his throw
ing is also weak. He has played good
games here, but he is cratic and can
not be depended upon. If the local
management could secure Fox of HOLY
Cross for that position, and with a
steady first class pitcher, they would
have stone wall infeld Fox PLAYED
here last summer and he was all ov-
er the field in his endeavors TO assist
in Dut-outs
Arrangements have been made with
Southbridge for two games on the
Fourth. The morning game will be at
Beacon park, and in the afternoon the
game will be in the Spec town. These
are the two games that will draw the
crowds, as the two towns are still the
same old rivals. There is no doubt
that if the sports get to going heavy
$4,000 viii change hands as a result Of
the games.
With the exception of North Attlebo-
70 here June "a, no other dates have
been closed for games here or out of
town. The team will be strengthened
for the game with the Carriers next
Saturday in several ways. If Saunders
does not pitch, league star will be Sc
cured.
The exclusive announcement of the
mysterious disappearance of Mrs
Michael Davern from her home in
Charlton last Sunday night, and who
has not been yet located, although a
posse Of nearly forty men have
searched high and low for her. caused
quite talk among the people mere,
when The Spy told the details this
morning.
Mr.. Davern will go to Worcester to-
morrow and consult a clairvoyant to
see if anything can thus be ascertained
OF the whereabouts of his missing
wife. The men are still searching for
her, but late tonight had discovered no
trace of her. 1t is thought that she
met with some accident, probably sew
eral miles from here, and was not able
TO rally from ii. Although at the time
she left home, clad loosely, she was
temporarily insane, still the people do
not think that she has committed sui
eide.
The funeral Of the late Mrs. W. II.
Warren was held at her home on High
street at 4.30 this afternoon, and Rev.
Thomas 7. Filmer pastor Of the Bap-
fist church. ofIiciated. The bearers were
r. 3. Murdoch, Louis Bacon, Emory
Goddard and Levi Coleburn. The in
terment was at East Webster.
The stabbing affair Of Saturday night
has again stirred up the excitement.
Although the ARRAY did not occur in
Webster her citizens and officers are
interested in more or less degree, in
the matter Joseph BOrie, the stabbed
man, suffered a cut much deeper than
was at first thought. He is confined to
the bed, and will not be out for a few
days.
The parties interested refused to tell
any of the circumstances of the case
but the Webster correspondent of The
Spy has learned that Borie was not the
man the knife thrust was intended for.
Il seems that this Seymore had some
difficulty with Joseph Labarre, ST.. and
when SeymOre attempted to pick on
the father, Mr.. Labarre, the son, Jo-
seph, Jr.. interfered and during the
melee, Seyrnore was said to have
