opposed to each other in every kind of
sport. Now that arrangements are be-
ing made for hub and hub contest,
up crops the game to be played
between the North Brookffeld Club and
Spencer's hurdle makers. When the
Spencer clerks read in this mornings
Spy that the North Brookfield clerks
were anxious for a game, they were
somewhat surprised, as they had ex-
pected no such move on the part of
their fellow string chasers In North
Brookfield. But nothing would be more
gratifying to them than to play the
North Brookfield clerks

able makeup of the North Brookdeld

Spencer clubs have often thrown down
the gauntlet to the North Brookfields,
