WORCESTER SCRIBES.
HOLY CROSS PICKED.
Coach Mccarthy Thinks Georgs
Glorious Career viii Be Checked Here.

Glorious Career Will Be Checked Here.
Despite Georgetown's victorious career,
Tom Mccarthy Of Boston, coach of the
Holy Cross team, predicts confidently
that the boys of Mount St. James will
defeat the crack team in the game to-
morrow Mccarthy will urge the Holy
Cross management to pitch Carney, if
the latter is in good form and can control
the ball well. Mccarthy told The Spy
man last evening that Georgetown has
no license to hit a left-handed pitcher.
He went to the game at Cambridge pur-
posely to discover for Holy Cross the
weak points of Georgetown, and thinks
that batting against left-handed pitcher
is one. He says also that Holy Cross
players will run all kinds of bases against
Georgetown. Mccarthy says there are a
few good hitters on Georgetown, but the
majority will have no terror for Holy
Cross. He says Holy Cross will surely
win.
The game tomorrow will be called at
2. As o'clock, to permit the crowd to at
tend the boat race between the high
school crew and the Harvard freshmen
crew, at the lake, at $50 O'Clock. Man
ager Donnolly's colts are in fine fettle
and realize they are up against their
hardest game of the season. The game
is sure to carry a large crowd with it.
and the management at the college have
made every arrangement to meet the de-
mands of the enthusiasts.

ence.
During the performance disturbances
We're frequent by hoodlums in
various parts of the hall, and
the chairman of the school
board, D. Edmund March, asked
for order, but as there were no regu-
lar policemen present, his request was
not needed properly, and some of the
citizens present acted as ushers and
escorted some of the disturbers from
the hall. Mr.. March told a reporter
for The Spy tonight that a regular pa
trolman was needed to keep order at
all times.
John Deamer, while riding down Elm
street this evening, was run into by
Earnest Weir of Baskerville. and
thrown violently against a pole and
rendered unconscious. He was picked
up and carried to the house Of Mrs.
Sarah Morgan and medical aid aant
for. The doctor found him suffering
from severe bruises about the head and
shoulders.
Deamer was riding on the left hard
side Of the road, when the accident oc-
Cured. His bicycle was badly demol-
ished Young Weir was more fortunate
and escaped without a scratch.

yard the well was BLOWN away, an it set
me to thirkin. 'S'pose, said to myself,
that blame ole BLOWN well should take a
notion to back up an take to suckin in
stead of blowing out And jest lay an

he ups an Jams it right down into the

till it wouldn't go no fudder. After that
he cut it of clost to the ground, men he

be established, no doubt, and the next
thing in order would be a hotel for
tourists. The living would be.high (34O
feet), with no end of eggs in all styles,
fish and rabbits, mutton (grown wild)
and sea lion steaks. Fishing is also good,
and the visiting tourist could vie with
the sea lion in this sport, only that the
noble sea lion catches fish as matter
of business. Occasionally some poachers
have visited the islands arG caught
lions for purposes of exhibition. The
lion is lassoed while asleep upon rock
and after being hauled in is placed in a
water tank for shipment.
The visiting tourist would find any
number of Alurre and sea gulls, and
while he is prohibited from shooting
them he would take some satisfaction
in the sight of ''fne shot. No one
could miss if the gun is pointed up
ward, as they are as thick as mosquitoes
in Florida.
Of all the birds on the islands only
the eggs of the murre and the sea gull
are eaten. The eggs of the murre are
favorite dish and in great demand at
the San Francisco restaurants. where
they find a ready sale and quick con-
sumption. The gull also eats murre eggs
and in the raw state. While the eggers
are gathering them in, hundreds of gulls
soar aloft and swoop down upon the egg
gatherers, take up an egg in each claw
or in the beak and are soon up and al
most out Of sight. Some of the eggers
say that gull will toss MP an egg. and
catch it in his beak us it comes down
and swallow it, as if he were practicing
at jugglery. But this is probably
''fake' story. It is. however, true that
number of them will attack an egger
if he resists when they claim a part of
his spoils. The murre is not good to eat,
though Italian fishermen find no diff
Guilty in digesting the meat. This bird
feeds on jellyfish and sea grass. Shags
and parrots ara also nume1Cus on these

with these birds, but the largest, or

on the California coast for. cable sta
ton. The Farallone group is composed
of six rugged islets standing out "a
miles from the Golden Gate. The Span
ish word Farallone signifies pointed
islets in the sea. This group is in a
direct line with the Hawaiian Islands,
and this is the first land, or rather point
of rocks, the traveller sees as he nears
the golden shores of California from
across the Pacific.
The southernmcst island, which is
also the largest, stands ont about a
mile from tie others of the group;
hence this one is most likely TO be Sc

one mile from east to west and is $40
feet in height 1t is a broken and wa
ter worn rock of angular peaks, pos
sessing but little soil and consequently
very scant vegetation. However, it has
the advantage of a small beach, where
landing is easily made, and an open de-
preston which is also utilized as a
landing. The other islands are not so
favored. This island is used by the gen.
eral government for lighthouse sta
ton and by scores of sea lions, INJURIES,
sea gulls and other birds, with large
sprinkling of jack rabbits. who make
this bleak island their home The light

nests of these birds for the San Francis

population of the island would increase

Very few pleasure seekers or travel
ers or even citizens of San Francisco
have visited these islands. This is
owing to the lack of regular communi
cation. The tugs that go out to the
Farallones take only their crews and
pilots who go TO steer in the incoming
ships, and these tugs seldom land at |
the islands. They lay off, or go out far
