Westboros.

Westboro Thursday evening. The cap
tain of the Winthrops, D. A. Potter, is

teams, but on account Of the warLl
wave of the last week, negotiations
have been delayed for better bowling
weather The Winthrops have a prac-
tioally new team, but the men are cley-
er with the big ones, and expect to
make credtable showing during the
winter.
George H. Hilbert has definitely de-
cided to reorganize the Babies this sea-
son. He is waiting, however, for COOL
er weather and chance to go against
some of the crack teams that have
matches on at present. Mr.. Hilbert was
in doubt for several weeks about form
ing the team, as he had not decided
whether he would remain in Worcester
during the winter. Having reached a
favorable conclusion on that point IN
then decided to organize the champion
team.
The first match of the Babies may b.
with the Westboro candlepin team. T
II. Hennessey, manager of the alleys of
that town, and captain of the bowling
teams, was in Worcester Wednesday,
and suggested a series of matches with
bowlers OF Whites alleys, when the Sc
ries with the Casinos is finished The
proposition was agreeable and viii be
accepted.

PARTNERS AT WAR.
One Liquor Dealer Complains About
the Actions of His Associate.


It is not often that men engaged in
the saloon business take sides with the
suppression of strong drink, and vol
UNFAIRLY close their places of business,
but this is the case at one place of
business in South Worcester.
The firm known as Michael A. Tay-
Tor & Co., Including NJ A Taylor and
Daniel j. Mill, is divided against it.
self, and while the trouble may be
patched up, ii will lose a few days
business. The firm has a saloon at
1913 Cambridge street which, until re-
Gently, has been conducted with appar-
ent harmony. AS the case stands, at
present Mill has the license frame
and all, While Taylor holds the stock
in trade and place of business. Neither
can do anything without the other, and
the matter has resolved itself into a
question of who should rightfully have
the license.
About two weeks ago Taylor made
complaint to the commissioners that
his partner was conducting himself in
disorderly manner, and wanted them
TO do something about the matter The
board could take no action in the mat
ter further than to advise that the trou-
BILE be fixed up between them, and sug-
gesting that one or the other sell out.
The matter cannot be arranged in this
way, however, and here the matter
rests so far as the license commission
ers are concerned
Both men have engaged counsel, and
each wants the privilege to exercise the
rights granted by the precious parch-
ment without which they are powerless
to do business.
The license was granted to the men
as firm and as a firm they control it
at present, The commissioners can
not say which shall have it until some
evidence can be introduced to warrant
action.

SOCIAL SESSION.
Worcester Lodge of EIks Entertained
by Professional Talent.

The Worcester lodge of Elks had a
social session last night at 554 Main
street, and the members enjoyed them
selves, as only the Elks know how.
There was a capital spread and
speeches, songs and music by the Wor-
cester Light Infantry orchestra served
to round out an evening epochal in the
pleasure annals of Elkdom
The ST. Onge brothers were present
by invitation, and gave an exhibition
of clever trick bicycle riding which was
very entertaining. The st. Onges are
at the Park this week, and they per-
formed for the Elks some of their
most notable tricks.
Albert M. Powell was chairman of
the evening, and certainly few men in
Worcester are better qualified for such
a responsible position as he held last
night He was equal to the occasion
at all stages, and had happy way
of introducing the talent. The Elks
have some capital entertainers within
their membership, and these were
called upon freely by Mr.. Powell. Harry
Foley made a hit with his inimitable
limitations, The sessions are to con-
tinue throughout the winter months.

NO HOPE FOR ROGERS.

Forfeit From Him Next Time He
Seeks Race.
The failure of Worcester men to fur
nish backing for Ras Rogers in his
three mile sculling match with Ed
Durham has aroused the ire of Toronto
people. The Toronto Globe. comment
ing on the statement Of Rogers hackers
that they will get Rogers in condition
next year and give Durham a race,
says
THE Rogers party may rest assured
that they will make no more matches
with Durham under conditions that al
low them to back out at the expense of
only 500 two days before the race.
Their cheap-John style has been ex-
posed now, and for the next match with
Durham they will have to put down
forfeit of 10 times that amount. The
truth is that they will never match
Rogers against Durham again, and are
only talking now in order to cover up
their paltry trick. Rogers is a back
number and never was in Durnan's
class. The latter may try to get on a
race with Hackett of Rat Portage next
spring, or he may take flyer at Gau-
daur for the championship of the
world"

TRAIN HARD FOR BROWN.
Harvard Varsity Given a Severe Course
of Practice.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 19.-With the
Brown game only two days distant, the
Harvard team practice today consisted
of two hard halves against the second
eleven. While the defence was strong
enough to hold the second eleven down,
the team work on the offensive was
ragged.
Not only were the teams very careless
about kicking off, but also four times
penaiized by off-side play. The most en-
couraging feature of the practice was
the brilliant playing of the tackles. Mer-
riman, who played three years ago
played on the varsity today and dis
tinguished himself by quick work. Bur
net played fine game at centre and dur
ing the greater part of the practice did
good kicking.
