NAMES OF PITCHERS A SECRET.

Webster, Aug. 11.-With fair weather
the game between Webster and The
Southbridge- East Douglas combination
at Beacon park tomorrow afternoon
will be the game of the season. 1t Is
the rubber game of the series. Each
have won two games with a tie-1O IL
lO-and the game tomorrow will be for
blood.
All kinds of reports come from South
bridge as to the makeup of their team.
but nothing very definite has reached
here. 1t was reported that Amos Ru-
sic, the great New York man, was sla-
ted to do the twirling for them, but
that is out of the question, as he is
now out vest. Webster people are
laughing a.. the idea of his pitching
for the Spec town.
1t seems more probable, however,
that either Hickman of the Bostons or
Mahoney OF Manchester or else both
will take a turn, as they did last Satur-
day, but the Spec fans favor the Bos-
ton man. They do not consider big
George Mshoney a winner against
Webster stickers, and prefer to see
Hickman in the box. 1t is almost prob
able that the latter will pitch.
Late this afternoon, Webster had not
definitely decided who was to pitch for
Webster. The manager was out of town
all day, and the fans think he is on the
scout for new pitcher for tomorrow.
Early in the week there was some talk
of getting Evans of Providence for the
big game tomorrow. but the deal did
not mater.alize. One of the managers
told The Spy man this afternoon that
neither Sanders nor Carney, who are
billed, will pitch.
The Spy man has talked with many
of the supporters of the team, and
big majority of them are entirely sat
isfied with Sanders and want him to-
morrow for he has pitched fast ball
all season. Last Saturday was the first
game he had been touched up at all,
but he was up against a team of play
ers that would trim the laurels of the
Rochester Eastern league team.
Who will pitch for Webster is un
decided, but the other players will be
Sholta, SIS: Billy Merritt, G.; Brennan,
1b.; Shea 3d.. Fox SIS. Stafford, c. f.;
Carney. l. T.. Putnam, r. f.

The Pontifcial Zouaves will hold

been offered as prize in a voting contest
for the most popular hotel in town.
Hotel De Witt, Joslin house and City
hotel will contest for the prize.
Miebael Kirby aas recently purchased
a horse that is full Of fire and ginger"
He bought the animal from Haven
Bros. Worcester, and the animal is four
years old. This morning, Mr.. Kirhy's
son, Daniel, drove down street. The
horse attracted great deal Of atten
ton by his overspirited actions. While
the elder Kirby was in the post office, |
Daniel had all he could do to handle the
horse, as he reared repeatedly on his
hind feet and danced all kinds OF jigs.
The horse will make a good one when
driven little more.
