I’d like to stay, but we’ve work to be done. Credit River runs through the place, But I’m not getting in that race. The official meaning of the clue. This leads into clue #2 which identifies the activity as a baseball game. George Coakley was a very good ballplayer whose name (along with others) is memorialized in an ode to the team on display in the Heritage Room at the Savage Library. Baseball in 1906 would be played on the Town Square not Warren Butler Field. The remainder of the clue is an additional locational hint that the shoe is in the old part of town as the Credit River was diverted through a race to power the mill located near Palmer and 123rd street.

The final clue really pinpoints the shoe as being covered with some mulch under the new spruce tree on the northwest corner of the Town Square. In future years that tree will be used as a guide when viewing the site of the TAJ (International Stock Food Farms Stables was commonly referred to as the TAJ due to its distinctive architectural style reminiscent of the Taj Mahal) from the new location of the Savage Depot on the Town Square.
