HAVE NO GROUNDS.
Millbury Ball Team
Has a Peculiar
Grievance.
CAN PLAY BALL, But WHERE ?
Manager Perry Says a Word
to the Public-Mayo
Mills Booming.

Millbury. Aug. 1.-The trouble be-
tween the Millbury League base ball
team and the Firemen's team may re-
suit in Millbury not having any of the
Blackstone Valley league games here.
The trouble as told exclusively in The
Spy, this morning, is over the base
ball grounds-"the Flats"
The nremen have secured the Flats
to play on for the rest of the season,
| thus depriving the league team from
playing on them. There is no other
base ball ground in town that could
be used by the league team, and Man
ager Joseph Perry and his boys are
anxious to play the rest of the season,
and they will bring the matter up be-
fore the League directors, at the meet
ling in st. Germaine Hotel in Fisher
vile tonight.
Perry thinks the only way to do is
to change the places of the games from
Millbury to the various towns, and in
this way keep the base ball spirit alive
until next year. The League team
thinks the Firemen are doing this for
spite, and are expressing themselves
very warmly on the matter, and have
written the following to the people OF
Millbury:
I'VE do not think 1t right for any
base ball team to impose on the
public, and we think the Firemen
are doing so. A subscription paper
was circulated around town by the
Firemen, and funds were received
| from various sources for conduct
ing base ball in this town by the
Firemen. Only one game has been
played In town, and only few out
| of town. Our team has not asked
for any money to keep 1t alive, and
we do not intend to, and we hope
the people of Millbury will not
blame us if no games are played In
town by the League.
(Signed)
Joseph Perry,
Dixon Bebo."
