The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-03-08

tlemen band themselves together to run
a team the coming season.
Mr.. Hederman is fairly well posted
in the game. He has managed ball
teams before, and has made them pay.
There are, however, other applicants
for that position. They come with good
records, and the public at large would
readily accept either of the three candi-
dates. At least they would give them
trial.
John Stafford and Mr. Young of East
Douglas are the other candidates for
the management of the team.
STAFFORD played last year on the Web
ster team in the middle garden and
was also captain of the team. He has
had plenty of experience as a, ball play
er, having played with different clubs
in this vicinity.
In conversation with the Webster
representative of The Spy. Stafford said
that he would accept the position, pro-
yiding the terms proved satisfactory.
He is also willing to play.
Manager Young, for the past four
years of the famous East Douglas play
ers is also willing to assume the re-
sponsibilty of managing the team, so
he tells the locay Spy man. His views
are somewhat similar to those of Stat
ford.
The Spy man has talked with those
interested in forming an association
and they say it will be the best thing
for base ball. When Mr.. Hill returns
from Boston next week, the gentlemen
already mentioned will meet and defin-
lite arrangements will be made.
Superintendent John Flint had the
pillow out bright and early this morning
clearing the tracks. He kept it running
all the forenoon until the rails were
cleared of SNOW so that the cars could
be run. By noon they were running
nearly on schedule time and during the
afternoon were right on time.
The controversy over the Beacon
Park crossing barricade by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road remains the same and no further
move has yet been made by the rail-
road people in blocking the crossing.
1t was expected that when Contractor
George S. Corbin ripped down the OBJ
struction the New Haven people would
arrest Corbin and summon the wit
nesses into court, but they have not
done either.
AS some of the local citizens express
it: "It is the calm before the storm
They think that the final outcome will
be a trial before Judge Bartholomew,
in the local district court.
