street.
The above are the winners of the sea-
son tickets which were offered by The
Spy last week to the persons guessing
nearest what the new uniform of the
Worcesters would be.
Neither guessed correctly. Deitmer
made several guesses, half of which
were as close as any other guesses
made. He had blue and white in his
mind during his guessing, and If he
could but have combined two of his
guesses he would have had an almost
perfect description of the uniform
Deitmer was the only one who made
anything like a close guess. In the
guess which wins he had everything
right except the color of the trousers
and stockings.
Mrs. Mara guesses the color of the
trousers and trimmings and also the
letter which was placed on the shirt.
She was the only one of all the guess
ers who named old English as the style
of lettering
The guesses came in by thousands.
The combinations which were named
were something awful. If the Worces-
ters appeared on the field with some of
the uniforms described in the coupons
they would be arrested. One of the
guesSers had the team logged out in
red, white and blue with various com
plnations. Others had lavender and
yellow for combination. The prevail
ing colors in the guesses We're maroon
ana grey. Then there was cream color
RED and black, purple and white, pink
and various other colors which were
never seen on ball field. Imagine
pail team clad in pink and lavender.
Inc uniforms were seen yesterday.
Ihey are pretty ones and among the
spectators were many who guessed.
Iney saw in minute that the conbin-
atlon that Manager Leonard had select

guess was within shooting distance of
the proper mark.
Inc uniform consists of a white can
on the top of which is a blue button:
white shirt with blue lacing and old
English W. in blue; blue belt. blue
trousers with white trimmings and
blue stockings. 1t is a natty uniform.
