BEALE is ENGAGED,
Will Coach Worces-
ter Academy Foot
Ball Eleven.
HAS HAD MUCH EXPERIENCE.
Donovan Attends to Second
Eleven Field
Notes.
HAS HAD MUCH EXPERIENCE.

Arthur Beale was yesterday engaged
to coach the Worcester academy foot
ball eleven, and began his duties yes
terday afternoon.
Beale played quarterback on the Har-
ward varsity team in 1896. JOHN EN-
DRY, the Brown COACH could not devote
his attention to the academy team, and
negotiations with him We're broken off
He was chosen by the management and
asked to submit his terms. He was
telegraphed for but did not come to
this city to hold a conference relative
to assuming the position. Manager Orr
received notification yesterday that Mr.
Emory could not attend to the duties
of coach.
The selection of Mr.. Beale brings
much pleasure to foot ball authorities
at the school. All along the academy
boys have desired to have an ex-liar-
ward man for coach, but have been I'M
able to secure one. The proposition
was made to several Harvard gradu-
ates to coach the team, and ex-academy
men now attending Harvard lent Their
assistance to try and secure a Harvard
man for the team. But until Mr.. Beale
consented no Harvard man could be
secured.
Mr.. Beale ought to make a good man
for the team. He was an excellent
playet, and last year spent the most
of the foot ball season at Cambridge
assisting in coaching the Harvard team
of last year. The experience he re-
ceived was extensive. He came to
Worcester yesterday ready for business,
and at once assumed command Of the
first eleven.
The practice was stiff, in spite of the
rain, for the team has to play its most
important game Of the season tomorrow
at Groton against the academy team Of
that town. Groton has a strong team
as it's game against the English high

L. A. w. Members Looking Forward to

Quiet campaigning is being done in
this city ON the annual election Of Off
GERS of Massachusetts division, l.. A.

almost any day. Local members of the
league expect to find the name of A.
K. Peck of Boston as independent can
didate for the Office of secretary treas
urer against the present incumbent,
Secretary Aronson, who is the nomi-
nee Of the committee selected to do the
work. The former is not strong III
Worcester, and a story that has recent
ly leaked out is not helping him.
He went before the nominating COM
mittee and informed the latter unless
it nominated him he would run inde-
pendent The committee decided to let
him run. Aronson is well thought of
here on account of the efficient work
he has done since elected to the office
last year. During his administration
the division debt has been reduced from
$4,000 to $1400, which is due to his good
management and economical methods

LOOKING FOR MARSH.
Baker Wants to Know Why the Wor-
cester Man Has Ignored Him.

Robert IL. Baker of Boston wants to
know why Marsh of this city has done
nothing towards making jumping
match with him. Baker is now in
Dresden, Germany touring with other
athletes. He writes as follows regard
ing match, referring to MARSH as
Fish" a nickname by which Marsh is
known in professional athletic circles:
After l had left the United States
last July, Fish Marsh Of Boston chal-
lenged the world at three spring jumps
with weights, and sent a challenge and
an alleged forfeit to the London Mirror
Of Life to jump me. On hearing of the
challenge, 1 wired from Berlin to cover
Marsh's money to find that he had no

HARVARD PRACTICE.
Noticeable Improvement Since Return
of DAILY and Campbell.

Cambridge, Oct. 9.-Todays practice of
the Harvard foot ball men was much i'm
proved by the presence of DAILY and
Campbell who have been out of the
game more than week. Hallowel.
Eaton and Sargent were out in foot ball
clothes, but were not allowed to play
Reid, Kendall and Gierasch are not in
work of the practice was to correct the
faults of Saturdays game. In spite of
the substitute backs in the lineup the
playing of the first eleven had much snap,
owing partly to the presence Of the re~u-
lar quarter back The continued galses
have also improved the defense, for the
second eleven was unable to gain at any
poor substitute for Hailowell. He was
often pocketed. For the second half the
strong part of tine line was Burnett, who
is fast getting into last years form

FIRST OF THE SEASON.
Marlboro Team Plays All
Around the Locals in
Basket Ball.

! The Father Mathew basket ball players
were easily outclassed by the Marlboro
Athletic club team, in the opening game
of the season, in Father Mathew hail. last
evening. The Marlboro men played a
scientific game in both aggressive and de-
| fensive work and made the Father
Mathew players look like a 25-cent piece
run over by steam cars.
There was large attendance. Better
accommodations over last year have been
made in the hall Another tier of seats
has been added and the floor covered with
canvas, which assists in faster work. The
only drawback is that the ball gets un-
der the seats frequently, thus delaying
the game.
Many things could have been improved
on by the management in last evening S
game The time for opening the contest
was set at o'clock, but it was long after
that hour when the teams lined up. IN
stead of the regulation Commute inter
mission between the playing periods, the
men took 20 minutes. The management
ought to remember that 1t owes some
thing to those who support the game, and
endeavor to live up to the rules.
The crowd filled every seat, there being
any young women among the spectators
1t was well-behaved crowd, the MARI
boro men being agreeably surprised. The
ordinary basket ball crowd in some towns
in this vicinity isn't well behaved, to put
| There was not a semblance of unneceS-
sary roughness or animus displayed
The Marlboro men had a soft thing.
They played all around their opponents.
On aggressive work they kept separated,
each man covering an amount of space
which aided materially in the victory.
They passed the ball at the right time,
enabling an easy try at the goal. The
defensive work was too fast for the
Father Mathews. Every man on the Wis
iting team watched his immediate oppo-
nent sharply and stayed close to him.
They interfered with the passing of the
Father Mathew players and compelled
such quick tries at the basket that the
chance of scoring was reduced to an
element of luck. The Father Mathew men
displayed a weakness in failing to prop
erly cover their opponents play, and did
not pass with any degree of certainty or
judgment. The result was easily APP
parent. The visitors won by s goals from
the field-16 points. Wiseman and Morse
missed free try
Among the visitors it would be diff
cult to pick out one whose playing was
better than another's. They played like
unit. Morses shooting for the basket
was exceptionally good. For the Father
Mathews, Smith and Bradley played the
best game. Wiseman made several brill
liant defensive plays. Smith sustained
a severe cash over the right eye early in
the game. Best injured his ankle at the
close of the game and had to retire. The
score:

When an incident like the following
occurs, right here at home. it is bound
TO carry weight with our readers.
When so many strange occurrences 90
the rounds of the press, are published
as facts, when the intelligent reader
knows they cannot be true, there is
no reason that people become skepti-
cal. On one subject skepticism is
rapidly disappearing. This is due to
the actual personal experience of our
citizens and their utterances regarding
them. The 1loubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence as
this. The public statement of lie
putable citizen living right here at
home, one whom YOU can see every

to stand on.
