| DOC DOHERTY SIGNED UP BY ALBANY |
|---|
| Charlie "Doc" Doherty who has been covering the first sack for the Legion nine this summer will be seen in the minor leagues next summer when he will cover the initial sack for Albany of the Eastern League. Doc is an exceptional first sacker, and no pitcher phases him. He has been hitting the ball all summer, and has the faculty of coming through in a pinch. Comment on the sidelines at South Boston, when he played an exceptional game against Pere Marquette, attracted the eyes of the scouts on the Woburn boy. The contract has not passed yet, but the offers of the Albany club look very attractive to Doc. |

| . . . This is the first rally of the scouts since last spring and the council wishes to make it the most successful rally ever held in Arlington. The committee in charge, Charles H. Stevens, chairman; James H. Jones and George E. Ahern, have worked hard and boys arranged a program that is sure to provide most interesting. |
| Girl's Hockey Game . . . Tuesday's game was certainly well played, both teams showing good work, but the Woburn girls were unable to get the ball beyond Virginia Wellington and Mary Lane for a shot at the goal. |

died at his home on North Union street on Monday,
following a prolonged illness, his advanced age
(86 years), being one of the primary causes of his

to this country when a young man. He settled in
Somerville for a time and then came to Arlington
when about 25 years of age. He remained here and

years, retiring several years ago. About eight years
ago he celebrated his golden anniversary of his
wedding. In the section in which he made his home
for so many years he was widely known and had many
friends.
