The Worcester spy., 1899-06-04
LOOKS A WINNER.
Academy the Favorite
for Interscholas-
tic Games.
WORCESTER HIGH is SECOND.
Many Surprises Are Looked
for in Contests at the
Oval Saturday.
WORCESTER HIGH is SECOND.

Saturday afternoon come the great
games in which Worcester school boys
are interested.
They are the annual games of the
Interscholastic association, which will
be held at the oval.
Exeter and Andover the schools
which usually have strong teams, will
not be in the games to any great eX-
tent. Exeter will not send a regular
team. Several athletes will compete,
but on that day there is to be ball
game between Exeter and AndoVer
which is of more interest than the meet
to them. There will be a strong team
from Andover but the men are not fast
enough to bother the Academy boys
for first place, and probably can't oust
the high school lads from second.
The 100 yards looks like a good thing
for A. F. Duffey of Worcester acad
emy H. E. Smith of NeWburypOrt
high is a fast man at this distance, and
will give Scheuber of the Academy a
rub for the place. w. A. Schnick of
Andover is another speedy one in the
century, and the race for the place
will be a warm one.
Jourdan of Worcester high is not en-
tered by the school. He did not train
except for the class games, and was
beaten out by Moran.
Tire same men will do the running
for the 22O Scheuber mRy not enter
that event. He will run the low hur-
dies, and if that event is close to the
fiat race, he will reserve himself for the
hurdles, on which cinch is given him.
Worcester academy relies on Duffey
winning the event if Scheuber stays
out. He can beat Duffey at that dis
tance, as was shown by his work in the
school games. Frye of Exeter is a
speedy runner at the furlong, but he
will not attend the games.
The 440 will bring together lot of
fast ones, Worcester high has no stars
for the short distances, Capt. Moran
being the best man, and Booth the only
other who has shown fast work. But
in the 440 the high school boys will
furnish good men. Perry who runs
second to Moran in the 900 indoors, is
in that event McCauley, who trained
for longer distances during the winter,
has turned some fast quarters at the
oval. Academy will place its reliance
OIL Gallup He is in the dark horse
class, and big things are promised for
him.
Knowles of Hoppy, Aver of Roxbury
Latin, Maynard of the same school,
Thompson of Newton high, Smith of
Newburyport high, Pray of English
high, Hickey of Friends school, Dean
of Exeter, are crackajacks who will do
some hot running in this event.
Moran of Worcester high stands well
for the half mile. Dowd of the same
school will require considerable beat
ing for the place. Crawford of Andov-
er is a fast goer, being able for 2:04 1-5
in the dual meet with Exeter last
week. There seems to be q scarcity of
runners for this event. --a. r,..-.
The mile will bring out some good
ones. Trott of Medford high seems to
be the best of the bunch. Wise Of EX-
eter is a good one and will make it
warm for the field. Ballous of WOr-
cester Academy will make some of
them think they have been
running. Ballou may have
had bit up his sleeve in the academy
games. If he had he will give Trott
a stiff argument. He did something
like 4:46 for the mile in the class games
and it is his first season on the track.
Clifford of Worcester high is doing
good work. Dowd and st. John are
also running well, although none of
the Worcester men are going fast
enough to whip Trott.
Hersey of Exeter ought to have
walk-over in the high hurdles. He
did is 2-5 in the dual games with An
dover Wednesday. Academy has ABB
ercrombie in that event and looks for
him as point-Winner. Worcester
high looks to Henry to score. Dorr of
Brookline high, Howard Of Andover,
Fox of Andover and Knibbs of Exeter
are some of the best in the event.
Scheuber is picked to win the low
