The Worcester High School eight
Dared crew met at the Y. M. G. A..
| building, yesterday afternoon, and
elected Philip w. Flint manager.
! 1t is up to the Worcester polo en-
thusiasts to organize a rooters club
to be in line with other places in the
league. Clinton showed what a crowd
of rooters can do Wednesday night,
and Worcester wants to get together
and go out to Clinton to do some root
| ing and cheering Tuesday night.
-Hjalmar Lundin says he has cut
John Piening of Brooklyn off his list.
| The big Worcester wrestler has tried
every possible means to get on a
match with Piening, without success,
and now the Brooklyn man announces
that he has taken on Nehmet Nechad,
the Turk, for a go.
"A new generation of polo cranks
has grown up since the game was last
! played in Worcester. The new corners
! have lot of knowledge to acquire be-
| fore they get on to the fine points of
the game that are so well understood
! by the men who used to yell them
| selves hoarse in the old rink 10 or a
dozen years ago.
Joe NORWAY can be counted on as
regular at the games played in Me
chanics Hall. Joe used to stop the
hot ones driven at the cage up in
| Bangor before the present players
We're big enough to strap on their own
skates.
The floor of Mechanics Hall was
carefully examined yesterday to see if
the sport injured it in any way. 1t did
not, and Janitor Flagg was as pleased
as the Clinton rooters were Tuesday
night.
You couldn't get the present Wor-
| cester team to go back to Clinton
again if you sent after them with a
coach and four. The Worcester quin-
| tet, that is, won the championship for
Clinton last year and got nothing for
| it. A second-rate aggregation comes
along this year and beats the cham
pions two games and it gets $40 bills
and boxes of cigars from the cranks
who did not appreciate a good thing
when they had it.
&C. w Anderson of this city is to
be one of the amateur riders during
the six days race that begins in Bos-
ton next week.
The posters announcing the sale of
| Worcester trotting horses at the Quin-
| sigamond House stables in North
Grafton Tuesday, have been put up
around the city, and the list of horses
offered for sale includes several
| speedy animals that are well known
among Worcester horsemen.
The Boston Herald says: "Those
who have seen Kittredge work quietly,
day in, day out, behind the bat, would
marvel at his ability as debater at polo
meeting" Kit says polo is the great
est game ever, and it would stir a
stone image to oratory.
According to Jake Morse ut is the
| best thing possible for Clinton and
| Kittredge both to be in the same
league. There are warm times ahead"
| You bet.
The Algonquin Golf Club is keep
| ing up its record as the most enthusi-
astic aggregation of golfers in the
city. Its members were out in force
Christmas Day and report some good
matches. The grounds were not as bad
as would naturally be expected, and
the scores made compared favorably
with those of the fall season. The
real match of the day was a Scotch
foursomes between A. o. Knight and
James f. Orr and DIR. c. II. Masten
and George r. Gray. Knight and Orr
won by four up in IS holes play.
