WANTS MATCH WITH A
WORCESTER STRONG MAN

Special to The Spy.
Fitchburg, Dec. 23.-Joseph Poisson
of this city, the all-around strong man,
the pride of the Cleghorn district,
otherwise known as Little Quebec is
after the scalp of Henry Cloutier, the
strong man of Worcester. The former
claims that he at one time challenged
Cloutier to a match, which was ignored,
and now he gives him another chance
by offering to contest in a lifting
match, to take place either in this city
or Worcester, during the month of
February, for a purse Of from 5000 to
$500.
He means business, and his friends
will not see money going begging in
the shape of side bets, and a match
would be an interesting event in case
the two men can be matched. Joseph
is confident he is the best man, and he
means business. 1t is now up to Clou-
tier to either accept the challenge or
forfeit whatever title he now claims to
hold.

Joseph w Abbott one of the old
time Fitchburg Railroad engineers, and
as faithful a man as ever pulled a
throttle, has been appointed one of the
messengers at the State House, and
his many friends are congratulating
him on securing his new position.
Since leaving the Futchburg road he
has conducted a newsroom and has
bullt up quite a trade. AS the induce
ments of a State House messenger are
quite alluring, inasmuch as honest
service is almost an equivalent to life
service, Mr.. Abbott feels that he will
be better off than hustling around
caring for business. He is a member
of the Grand Army and an ex-counciI-
man. Senator Blodgett of Leominster
was instrumental in presenting the
case of Mr. Abbott, and the local G. A.
X. post gave him a substantial word.
-F1tchburg never presented a gayer
scene than at the present time, when
all the stores are in holiday attire.
BUSINESS men report a falling off in

numerous Certainly the streets were
never more crowded at holiday time.

LOBSTERS WIN ANOTHER.
Some Sensational Fielding at ogden
Yesterday-Score 4 TO 3.

Sensational fielding by William Nor
row and Buth was the feature OF the
dolngs at ogden yesterday, when the
White Wings went down to defeat at
the hands Of Ogden by score Of four
TO three.
The event was one OF the best ever
seen in the Junction town and was hard
taught all the way through, the Salt
Lakes escaping without an error. Nor
row had seven chances most Of them
being pretty close TO impossible, but
William got every one Of them Bluth
made a pretty low catch after a long
run, and then assisted in double play
to Clark,
Borchers pitched his usual fine game,
allowing but five hits, while the Ogden
ties got of with eight from Kldder.
The HOLSTERS made five errors, but
somehow tyey did not cost much.
The White Wings made their runs In
the 9th, when Klmerer made a single
and got to another sack on an error Of
Plake Barr scored Kim with a single.
which put McCausland on third Mac
scored on throw In from right and
Morrow brought Barr in on single.
Following is the detailed score:
