GAME FISH CLUB
Lake Quinsigamond Association
Booked For Reorganization

The Lake Quinsigamond Game Fish
association is booked for a resurrec-
ton. Deputy Game Warden John F.
Cumming is sanguine of success in his
efforts to rejuvenate the once powerful
organization.
The association had a membership of
more than 100, and its three years of
activity was potent factor in es-
tablishing the nucleus for fishing
grounds at the lake. Since the de-
parture of Secretary Edward Coley to
Fountain City, Wis, the association
has dWindled into body existing in
name only, but men who have the in
terests of game fishing at heart have
called a meeting of the association for
Monday evening in Exchange hotel.
officers will be elected and arrange
ments made for a banquet.
E. d. Burlington of the state fish and
game commission and Deputy Game
Warden Henry A. Mower have done
much to make the lake a future fish
ing ground, and in recognition of this
the meeting has been called. Deputy
Game Warden Cumming, a former ac-
tive member of the association, believes
that sufficien1 interest has been
aroused 20 make the association one of
the most powerful in central Massa-
chusetts.
The objects of the association will
be to stock the lake with game fish,
handbook I'd salmon and brook trout, and
assist the state commission in its eff
forts to better sportsmens conditions.
During the closed season. from Sept.
to April 1, the association will be a
powerful aid to the state commission
in its efforts to stop illegal fishing. In
the fishing season, everyone will have
the benefit of gany fishing at the lake,
and because of this the association ex-
poets a large turnout at it's meeting
Monday evening.

HIS BATTING RECORD.

1t was as a batter that Brouthers
made his record, having led the league
four reasons the best ever done by any
player, Arson coming next, with three
seasons. In 1882 and 1885, Brouthers,
then with the Buffalo team, led with a
percentage of 1867 and 81, respectively.
In 1889, while with Boston, he led with
a percentage of .313, and in 1891, with
Brooklyn, he was again the leader his
percentage being 1885, After leaving
the National league, he was one of the
best batters in the Eastern league, until
finally his years began to tell on him,
and he had to give place to younger
men.

The base ball fan is an odd character.
He is an agreeable fellow even If he
does poster friends with unique queries
The genuine fan is a most impulsive
man. Eject him from the game and
base ball would create but little more
excitement than outdoor whist or golf
The real enthusiast rises to his feet
and fills the air with war whoops
whenever his heroes are winning Let
them strike a losing streak and he
ceases to say I'VE" when referring to
his pets. He calls them ''lobsters," etc
While a bungle-making bee is under
way he issues DEGREES every second
banishing the bunglers to oblivion, only
to forgive them the next time they pull
off something startling. The fan is as
old as the game itself. Frank Ban
croft tells of one of the old school Of
the late '70s who was so elated over a
victory that George Washington Brad
ley won, when he played at St. Louis,
that he fell upon Brad's neck and
kissed him.
Not long after that Bradley Stun
bled upon an evil day ana he was ham =
mered from start to finish After the
slaughter Clapp, who had caught the
twirler, interrupted the lodge of sorrow
in the club house:

duck that kissed you? Well, he's out

TIP O'NEILLi.

All the 33d degree followers of the
game remember Tip O'Neill, the great
est batsman that ever played on the
old st. Louis Browns. But for a sar-
castle remark made by an acquaint-
ance, O'Neill, one of the greatest bat
tiers that ever played ball, would have
buried himself in the wilds Of Canada
after first and unsuccessful season
as a pitcher. Tips father was pro-
prtetor of a hotel at Woodstock, Ont,
which was favored particularly by the
upper class Of sportsmen. One sum
mer college man drifted into the
place, seeking recreation. During leis-
ure moments he and Tip used to occupy
the time by passing the ball He show
ed Tip how to hold the ball to throw
the various curves The Young fellow
proved to be an apt pupil and soon
developed some good curves and con-
siderable speed. He was very ambi-
tious and practiced at every opportun-
lty. The following winter he invited
hugh Brown, then the star catcher of
the Toronto International league team,
to spend the winter with him. Brown
accepted the invitation. Adjoining the
hotel was large building used for
amusement purposes in the summer
ana closed up in the winter to use for
dances. Every day during the winter
O'NeiH pitched to Brown, who gave the
boy the benefit of his experience.
The following spring O'Neill went to
New York and signed with the old Met
ropolitans Of the American association.
He was success from the start. bur
they overworked him, and his arms
would not stand the strain. At the end
OF the season the Nets released him. He
went home and stayed all winter Dur
ing that time friends good naturedly
.guyed him. A few days prior to the
opening of the following season one of
ONeilPs acquaintance started to
JOSH" him IN the presence of a num-
Der of friends. In the "joshing" the fell
low dubbed O'Neill a has been" This
stung O'Neill and he determined to
show that it was not so.
HIS STRIKING ABILITY.
A day or two later he was missing
from home He told no one of his plans
before leaving; even his father was ig-
norant Of his whereabouts The Young
fellow realized that his pitching davs
We're over, but he was not daunted. He
had given slight promise the season be-
fore of developing into a batter. Com
ing to st. Louis, he hunted up Con1is
key and told him he wanted a trial in
the field. AS it happened the Browns
were in need of fielder at the time
and O'Neill was given a chance to
show what he could do The result is
well known to every follower of the
game. He started to hit the first time
at the bat and there seemed to be no
end to his capabilities. For many
years he was terror to American as
ISOLATION pitchers, and the one who
succeeded in striking him out was en-
Wed by his colleagues in the box. For
five years O'Neill hit far and above the
other players of the association, and at
a time when Orr, Harry Stovey Ted
Larkin and others were in their prime
and batting at fast clip. O'Neill did
not continue to lead the association in
hitting up to the time of his retirement /
but he was always found at or close I
to the top.
