The lacrosse match at White Bear lake, ON
the st. Paul Athletic club grounds, July 4,
between the st. Paul and Minneapolis teams
for the championship challenge cup of Min
nesota, was quite an event Of that gala day.
The following is a detailed report of the
match:
AT 8: 40 o'clock both teams appeared on
the field looking fine. The home team wore
white shirts, white pants, blue stockings and
brown caps; the Minneapolis team wore pink
shirts, navy blue pants and gray caps. At
$3.50 the ball was faced; Minneapolis secur-
ing the ball first, quick as fash it was
thrown down on the home teams goals, but
Marwich, the point, with quick dodge, sent
it back again to center field, where Harring-
ton, of the Minneapolis team, made a good
catch and sent it down again to Thompson,
who made shot on the st. Paul goal, but
was too wide; Chivrell got behind the flags
and sent it up to Lowell, who had four
minutes tusse with Wilson; finally Peters
came to the rescue and threw it up to Gibber-
ton, he dropping it to Moir, who made
quick shot on the flags and the ball went
through the Minneapolis goals, winning the
first game for the st. Paul team. Time, 20
minutes.
SECOND GAME.
At 4:30 the ball was forced again, Walsh
securing it first and dropping it to Lowell,
who gave it to Peters, but Wilson, for the
Minneapolis, gave him good check and got
the ball away from him and drove it down to
Harrington, who passed it to Thompson,
then Fry, of the home team, just came down
the field in time and took it back again,
making some exceedingly fine play. Cheer
after cheer went up from the audience at his
remarkable playing. Down came the ball
again on the home teams flags. Thompson,
of the Minneapolis team, securing it, made
quick shot on the goal, but was stopped by
Chivrell, who passed it to Warwick, who
threw it up to center, when a scutfie took
place between Mower and Harrington, the
latter securing it threw it to the left of the
home teams flags. Chivrell ran out afte it
but by having too many men checking him
he lost it, when the ball was knocked through
the home teams goal, winning the first
game for Minneapolis. Time, Is minutes.
THIRD GAME.
At $40 the ball was faced again, Harring
passed it to Gray, who gave it to Esplin, but
by good check Fry got it and sent it upon
the Minneapolis flags, where Mor, the two
Gibbertons and Cavall of the home team,
kept for fully minutes, but G. E. Wilson
came to the rescue and drove it down to cen
ter field Walsh, Peters and Warner were
pushed hard for few minutes, but finally
lost it to Esplin who gave it to Thompson, but
G. G. Smith came in with good check and
at this point showed himself to be very
quick and neat player, the ball came down
again on the flags Of the home team and
shot was made on the goals but proved to be
too wide, Chivrell ran out of goals and quick
as flash threw it up to Cavill, who gave it to
A. Gibberton, who passed it to his brother,
when Wilson came in on him from behind
and gave him good check, but he held the
ball. and, quick as thought, made drop
shot at the Minneapolis flags, which Moir
very neatly caught and threw it through the
Minneapolis goals on a bounce, winning the
second game for the st. Paul team. Time,
| 20 minutes.
At $40 time was called for the fourth
game, but owing to the rain the Minneapolis
team refused to play any more. The ST.
Paul team took their positions on the field
and as the Minneapolis team did not come
out the referee decided the match in favor of
the st. Paul team, which entities them to
the championship challenge cup of Mime
| sofa.
We think st. Paul should give the lacrosse
club lots of encouragement as they expect
to rank as No. in United States before the
season is over and will redeem some of the
honors lost by the ball clubs.
