Sporting Notes

Worcester High and Highland Mill
tary Academy had game scheduled
for today, but 1t has been called off.
Worcester High had no practice
yesterday, although, with the exception
of Capt Lauder and Coach Delaney
there was a full representation on Bliss
Field.
AS Andover has trimmed Boston
College, it is difficult to figure how
Holy Cross can help winning the game
against the Boston College team Sat
urday.
Now Paul Hagberg has announced
that he has changed his mind and will
not return tc Worcester High. When
hopes are highest, gloom always begins
to spread itself.
Weymouth, who is being played be-
hind the line at Yale, formerly attend
ed Bicknell College and was catcher on
the baseball team at the time when
"Christy" Matthewson sent 'em" over.
The Trenton basketball team re-
Gently defeated the 23d Street New
Workers by score Of 35 to IA. The New
Workers have the same lineup as was
presented last year in this city and
Webster.
Tomorrow st. Marks, and Groton
will meet at Southboro for the annual
preparatory school affairs. Groton
hopes to win, but ST. Marks will have
the advantage of being on the home
grounds.
"A game with the Brown University
freshmen may be arranged by Worces-
ter Academy for Saturday. 1t is be-
Heved that another game before the
meeting with Worcester High will
serve to put the Academy youths in
splendid shape.
Worcester High will undoubtedly
play at Providence Saturday to satisfy
a desire of the Friends School to have
a chance to make a better showing
against Worcester High than it did
Saturday. Coach Delaney would prefer
a rest for his team.
in a recent interview. Ed. Mexican
of Cleveland, well known as a shrewd
baseball man, said: Jesse Burkett is
out for the money. can't believe that
he has signed contract with either
league, and am inclined to believe that
he is toying with the magnates."
Exeter and Andover come together
Saturday. The game will be played on
the Exeter campus and that eleven has
every advantage. Exeter won last year
and should have less difficulty in re-
peating the trick this season, as her
team Is stronger than ever, while An
dover is VIGOROUSLY weak.
An exchange says that If Columbia
I wants to be counted in the big four,
| she must get some training in sports
manship and cease squabbling tactics.
Every game in which Columbia has
figured has been marred by wrangling
and the wearers of the blue and white
have been directly responsible for most
of it.
Thomas L. Reilly of Meriden has
been granted a Hartford franchise in
the Connecticut State League. Stock
holders of the Eastern League club in
that city have entered objection to the
entrance Of the Connecticut State
League. 1t is almost certain that Hart
ford will not be wanted in the Eastern
League.
Charlie Doom, the catcher claimed
last season by Toronto. has jumped the
Western League. and is believed to
have signed a Philadelphia National
League contract. Doom says that he
doesn't care a rap about the minor
league black list, but If Doom doesn't
make good, what will he be doing in
mid-season?
Two men who have been especially
prominent in football this season are
Weekes. the Columbia halfback, and
DAILY, the West Point quarter and form
err Harvard captain. For individual
brilliancy Weekes outshines any other
player on the gridiron, his speed en-
a Hing him m make dazzling end runs
