Al the regular meeting OF the Olney-
Vile Baseball association. held I'm the Of
fee OF the olneyville hotel. last evening.
there was large attendance and more
than an ordinary amount of enthusiasm
was manifested. and we'll there might be,
for It was voted 10 pay of the last In
staIiment on the debt Of s96sS5 contracted
during the season OF 1900. When this vote
was passed none OF those who had stuck
and worked ike beavers 20 make the club
a success, could cast their vote, while
seated In an arm chair but must stand
on their feet and with a smile on their
faces demonstrated what pluck and hard
work will do
The merchants OF Olneyville IN all lines
OF trade could. and should have done
more for the few who have stood the
br,int OF the hard work. 20 bring this
about. for II is a well known fact that
many business men have been financially
benefited by the Saturday afternoon
games. They have not contributed one
penny TO the success OF the undertaking,
and those who have lacored so hard are
certainly entitled 10 a great deal OF credit,
for they have had an up-hill fight and
coutended with what Is commonly called
'knockery' from some of the members OF
tho association who. instead OF putting
their shoulders to the wheel. did all that
they could TO put obstacles in the way
OF the honest and hard working members
But despite IL all. the association has
come out with flying solors. They now
start out with their excellent ball grounds
free from debt, and. In fact they do not
owe anyone a nickel
On Saturday. they will have tho Wick
fords for opponents, and this team VIII
have Andy Coakley OF Holy Cross In the
box
The oineyvilles will not be the least
measly about getting pitcher. that
stands as high in the game as Coakley,
for those who have this matter in hand
will not spare time nor cash to get the
best That can be nad- IL naE been report
ed that Lynch would pitch FOR the Olney-
vflles again but this is not true for he
will not pitch for either club before the
last of the season az any rate.
The association, through this column,
desires to tfsafk the public for their very
generous support, and they also assure
the lovers of the game that they will con-
tinue to give them the best talent that
can possible be secured.
ARE INLAND FISHERMEN.
A number OF young men. well known in
woonsocket, came TO the city yesterday
and were the guests OF a well-known
drummer OF this place The drummer
made arrangements TO meet them at the
lower end OF South Water street where
they were TO take boat down the bay,
for fishing was the object OF the visit.
The men reached the city all right and
one OF thorn, n resident OF South street,
woonsocket saw the Pequot OF the New
York line and supposed that IL was tho
craft that they were TO have, for the
drummer told them that he had one Of
the largest and best boats on the river
for the day and this was the largest they
saw.
When they were told that neither the
drummer nor any one else could get the
Peouot for fishing purposes the Woon-
socket punch was downhearted and, as
they walked off the Peduot, were met by
the drummer who took them to the
proper place where they boarded o trim
little craft which. the drummer said. was
called schooner.
The head pusher OF the woonsocket
party said that II was not the sort OF
schooners that he was used 10. The out
of-towners'' brought along large
quantity OF bait. such as worms. etc.
and when told by the drummer that the
bait was not worth shucks they were
again. and one OF them re-
Piled that IL was the only kind OF bait
told them that so long as they had al
ways confined themselves 20 pout fishing
they could not be blamed for what they
didn't know about salt water fishing
The visitors. however. had one kind OF
bait that wes voted 20 be OF far better
grade than that furnished by the Grum-
mer.
The party fished nearly aii day. came
home and not a fish did any one OF them
A
visitors told their host that the next time |
they went fishing they would remain at
home instead Of wandering IS or 20 miles |
away and bump up against such luck 1
The party would have been little moro |
tovfal had one young man. who promised
10 come. been with the party. but he was
married Sunday and his wife would not /
take any chances Of losing him so soon.
Late last evening they left for home /
taking with them, OF course. the heavy |.
blankets and the remnants OF their |
lunches
