The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-08-28

Dermody, the best quarterback the
school ever had, is picking the likely
candidates. In all probability Capt.
Dermody will play halfback and Joseph
Aegis, sub quarterback on the '9S elev-
en-, will go to quarter. Who Capt. Der
mody's companions will be behind the
line is uncertain, but in all probability
Calvin will go into fullback and Null
lett or Raineault the other half.
It is toss-up between these two men
for the position, but Raineault is too
strong line breaker to be taken from
the line to play halfback. Then, again,
his weight will be needed in the rush
line.
John Lamb will probably play CEN
ter, as Foster Wheeler. center of the
'9S eleven, is going to Worcester acade-
my. Lamb will need considerable
coaching, but in time will make a
strong player Lowell will take care of
right end, with Raineault at left end.
eleven, but who will take the other po-
sitions in the line Is still unsettled.
In all likelihood Courtemarche, '02,
will play tackle with Pickup fresh
man, as the other tackle. Chester
Lowell will probably play guard, with
Rowland as the other guard or strong
er players will be put in these positions.
Most likely Hutchins, Bemis, Bryant
and Berthiaume will fill in as tackles
and guards,
Joseph A. Dermody, captain of the
team, is one Of the strongest players
the school ever had. Capt Dermody is
5 feet inches in height and weighs 1870
pounds, and was by far the most active
man on last years eleven. He is a cool
and steady player, and may be expect
ed to handle his team in good form. He
is a member of the class of 1900 Of the
school, and has played for the past two
years on the football elevens. He was
a member of the '97, '9S and 99 track
teams. In '9S he was tied for first place
in the pole vault, and in '99 won second,
being beaten out by his fellowathlete,
Vernon of 49, by vault of 8 feet.
Spencer sports were jubilant today
when they read in The Spy that Spen-
GER had won the ball game from North
Breokfeld, and that It was no tie game,
as was at first supposed. Ceconi is to
leave for his home in Boston tomorrow.
and goes with the best wishes of all the
Spencer baseball fans. 1t is probable
that another game will be arranged
with North Brookfield, but where It
will be played or when is as yet I'M
known.

morning when they read in The Spy the
true solution OF the claimed discovery
Of the body Of Paul Mueller. Every one
was warm in their commentator Of the
way The Spy worked upon the case and
found out the truth of the matter One
of Spencer's prominent citizens said to-
day to The Spy man: 1T am glad to see
that you have found out the true solu-
ton Of the reported discovery. Spencer
has had too much sensation for the past
year and such a discovery as that that
was reported would bring undue promi-
hence to the town.
Great preparations are being made for
the base ball game tomorrow between
the BARRIERS and the dough mixers. 1t
is already conceded that the bakers will
be too much for the razor artists, but
they will have to play better ball this
year than they did last year to win the
game.
The barber shops will all be closed
tomorrow afternoon from to so that
all those that want to get their boards
trimmed or their hair curled will have
to get it done in the morning
