Spencer, Aug. 1.-THE game between
Spencer string chasers promises to be a
sure thing The Spy was the first paper
to speak of the proposed game, and it
is the only paper that will obtain
true account of the arrangements for
the game. Today Dan V. Crimmin,
manager of the Spencer clerks received
a letter from John J. Downey, manager
Of the North Brookfield string breakers,
challenging the Spencer team TO a game
of baseball, and desiring that the Spen-
Ger men appoint a committee to meet
the North Brookfeld committee at
some place mutually agreed upon to
make, arrangements for the proposed
game.
The Spencer clerks have not decided
who their committee will be, but North
Brookdeld may rest assured that Spen-
Ger will appoint a committee at the
earliest possible date. Who will play
on the Spencer team is unknown as yet,
put the Spencer team will have one of
the best lme-ups they can possibly get.
Among those that will in all probable
1ty play are Levi Langevin. who dis
tinguished himself at the last clerks
game by cracking out a corlxing home
run; Ed Mcguire, who put up the best
game for the Mechanic streets; George
Burkhlll, who is the best left fielder on
either team; Arthur Girouard, who
played such a good game at first base;
Desplaines, who pitched such a fine
game for the Mechanic streets. An
other. probable player is John Ceconi,
who is olerking in T. A. Caseys gro
Gerry store, and who did not play on
either side at the last game Dan v.
Crimmin is another player who will in
all likelihood hold the speedy ones as
they come across the plate. Martin
Crimnlln, who will hold down third
base, and Tim Crimmin, will either
pitch or play in the field.
The house Of w. H. Fisher on Chest
nut street, in which case of scarlet

Tor not attending to the matter at an
earlier date. The Spy correspondent in
Reviewed some of the citizens Of that
district, which is commonly known as
the Flat and all have hard things to
say of the town authorities. In con-
versation with the representative of
The Spy one citizen said: II cannot
see what the town officials are think
tng-of. q Their carelessness is inexcusa-
that such case should be let run. 1t
has been reported to the town authori-
ties according to law. The members of
the family are not at fault, and at
present they associate with no one, but
still that card is lacking" The gen
tleman in question expressed the views
of everyone in the district.

Uses to be a orack-a-jack Already chal-
1enges have been received from the
Strong Washburn team and from the
North Brookfield team.
The management of the North Brook
field team is very DESTROYS of arranging
q game for Aug 10, but Manager John
Casey of the Spencer team is very de-
sirous of getting on a game with the
strong West Warren team. The Spen-
Ger team will be greatly strengthened
blythe addition of John Ceconi the crack
twirleF of the Boston college team, and
Napoleon Mayo. the sturdy backstopl
of the old-tinIe Wire Village and c.
7. A. teams. This will probably be the
battery for the game Saturday, and the
game promises to be one of the best
ever seen in Spencer. Railroad park
has been engaged for the game by the
Spencer management, and will prob
ably be put in good shape during the
next week.
Spencer foot ball enthusiasts were
greatly pleased this morning when they
read in The Spy that the Holy Rosary
g. T. A. Society intended to put a.
strong foot ball team in the field. For
years Spencer has needed such a team,
but has been unable to have one on ac-
count of the lack of financial backing
