The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-12-26

cation. But wait until the locals gel
into the spirit of the affair.
After winning the afternoon game
| the Clinton chaps thought they hat
| done enough, but after the victory in
| Mechanics Hall the new idols were
petted earnestly by the joyous en-
| thusiaStS.
Worcester hasn't got educated ur
to real polo roofing yet but last night
some splendid talent was shown, al
though a bit uncouth yet. One fellow
had a particularly pleasing boot that
he let out every time a Worcester man
| Gagged the ball.
Two of the most interested specta-
| tors were deaf mutes, who sat at the
north side of the playing surface and
famed continuously. After Bannon
had figured in some brilliant work in
goal, one of the men made his fingers
fly so fast that his companion could
answer only by facial expression. Be
tween playing periods this silent dis
cussion was watched with interest by
scores of the enthusiasts.
The Clinton team is composed of
some big fellows. Lincoln is a pow
erfully-built young man. and Spot
Hadley is a giant veteran. Cunning
ham is a medium-sized young man,
not the Cunningham of the decade ago,
although, strangely enough, his mi
tials are the same.
eastman has a rosy face that ap-
peals to the spectators and he will
undoubtedly become a favorite in the
Clinton rink. eastman gets actually
vicious at times, although the frank
expression never leaves his face.
old Santa is a big-hearted chap,
and he certainly was good to Clinton.
The Clinton delegation acted like a
crowd of cannibals getting ready for a
feast. My, but don't they love Malachi
Jedediah.
1t was a far merrier Christmas than
the most hopeful of the Clinton con-
tingent expected. Two victories in a
single day and from champions. No
wonder half a hundred vest buttons
from the Clintonites were forced off.
There is sure to be plenty of healthy
rivalry between the Clinton and Wor-
cester teams. 1t is good for the game
and for the public, for grand good
sport is sure to be provided every time
the teams meet.
The crowd was limit" affair
Every seat was taken and people were
glad to get a chance to stand up and
size up the Worcesters.
1t can't be that city life is too fast
for the young men who formerlyw ere
in hiding in the reservoir town. But
after seeing the sights, Worcester is
sure to be there with the best of polo
goods.
Danny Daily is an all around athlete
and he excels where grit counts. AS
steersman on a motor-pacing machine
DAILY is wonder. Not many weeks
ago. Curley Fagden, the Clinton sprint
er, essayed to show Daily how to get
over the ground. Mr. Fagden was dis
tressed when he saw the versatile Da-
" sprinting away from him as though
he was anchored.
Paul Gardner, the Clinton halfback,
Is a stockily built chap who isn't afraid
to mix it up. Gardner has been in the
National Polo League the greater part
of the season.
-McGilvray, one of the rushers who
will appear with Lewiston tomorrow
night, is a marvel of accuracy in jug
Cling. Mac can worm through the 60
posing team with the sphere at the end
of his stick as often as any man IN the
business. but in these days passing
counts more than the most spectacu-
lar Juggling.
