Carthy of the Emeralds after the practice of last Thursday night. Man aSer Mccarthy could not stand by and listen to another man say that he | knew of a team that could best the Emeralds. This was exactly how the | game for Thursday night was taken | on, and it promises to be hummer. | Hooters from Waterbury will make the trip to this city with their team i and will back their men up for fun, | money or marbles. As there are p.en- ty of fellows in this city who feel the | same way about the Emeralds. there is likely to be just a little cash changing hands after the referee blows the final whistle at the game Thursday night. ,I
