Oscar Sundstrom has improved
enough since his first meeting with
SamuelsOn to make the big fellow
stretch on the mat when the pair
meet. Sundstrom is one of the gamiest
fellows that Lundin has ever had un-
der his care.
Terry McGovern and his tight fist
ed manager, Sam Harris, may part
soon. Harris says that since the dis
astrous meeting with Young Corbett,
McGovern has not been the ideal
thorough gentleman" and other good
things that he was reputed to be pre-
vious to that affair.
Dave Sullivan, who is matched to
meet Terry McGovern Jan. 30, has
been doing some hard work in pre-
paratiOn for the bout. McGoVern has
done nothing but exhibit his fast
horses.
One baseball writer says that Ed
Delehanty, the Philadelphia who
jumped to Washington American
League team, will get so fat and lazy
from broiling in the sun on the Wash
ington grounds, that any hit over
DeIs head will be good for four bases
There is a younger member of the
Delehanty family, in fact, two of them
that Worcester wouldn't object to hav-
ing for next seasons team
In an interview in a Springfield
paper a representative of Ware bas-
ketball team says that a game could
be arranged if Millbury would listen
to fair terms. The Ware manager says
that Millbury isn't in position to die
tate terms because the team has al
ready been soundly thrashed by Ware.
Then the Ware man says: ut is the
general opinion that Millbury isn't
anxious to come to terms" If the
Ware management had any wish to
be fair. no objection would be raised
to proposition whereby the game
would be played on a neutral floor for
a side bet of 800, winner take all.
Ware basketball team never won a
game against any recognized team out
side of Ware hall, with a Ware man
as referee.
lack Wood, the young Worcester
nugilist. will have a tough proposition
when he goes against Kid Goodman Of
Boston at Lenox A. c., Boston, Mon
dav night. Wood is getting into good
shane and there will be much interest
shown in the result Of the bout.
The appeal of Secretary Dale Gear
70 the members of the Players Protec-
tive Association reads like the state
uent of a commander who has been IN
a losing fight. The Players Protec-
thing except in name until players
cease TO look out solely for themselves.
The chances of a change in that de-
partment being made are very remote.
Jesse Burkett, leading National
League batsman, is one of the regulars
at lack Sharrott's pool and billiard
hall Mechanic Street. Jesse is one OF
the champion left-handed pool play
ers Of the street.
Clinton polo enthusiasts may get
little satisfaction by having Denny
bartlett in that town and knowing
that Manager Kittredge is minus his
services. From this time on, coterie
~ CIintonites will howl for every team
in the American League, but Worces-
ter.
IF is said that some of the names
IN the netition presented to the Am
erican Polo League directors py Clln-
ton enthusiasts were those OF people
u1bo had never been inside OF the Clln-
ton rink.
