ON TRE ROLLERS.

:.
The Biious defeated the W. II. T.'s of Lewiston
in league game at the Bijou last night by score
of goals to in ten minutes actual playing time.
1t looked one while as if the Bilious had the game
by three straight goals, as they won the first two
easily. But after that Wakefield was taken from
his position on the floor and put into the goal in the
place of Caviss, who went on as cover point. This
seemed to work to the advantage of the W. II. 7. e.
whs secured the next two goals. But the Bilious
rallied again and got the last and deciding goal
in good shape. The goal guarding of the Bilious
was admirable. Norway made some brilliant stops
and Orne did as good york in the position of
goal often SEEM That he is at his best in This
position is apparent. The game was played on
rubber rollers and was not as free from ronghness
as it ought to have been.
The first rush was won by Stevens and in two
minutes time Orr got the goal by a clean shot. viii
iams got the next rush, and in just minute Fos-
ter had the ball in the w. H. rs cage by another
straight shot. Foster got the remaining rushes
There was some waiting in the third goal for brok
skates but at last after ~ minutes actual play the
W. II. rs secured the goal by combined play of
Williams and Stevens, Williams struck the bali in
front of the Bou cage and Stevens skating towards
it ran the ball n Murch got The fourth goal for the
w. IL rs III 1a minute by long shot from under
the band stand. Not 10 be outdone by the opposing
cover goal. Dunn got the next and last goal by
shot similar to Murch's after l minute play. John
Desmond was referee.
After the second goal was finished pleasing epis-
ode occurred. The clubs were drawn up for the
third rush and when the whistle blew Williams got
to the ball first but his attention called by the
referee, who told him to take his spot again. This
he did reluctantly and on reaching he was net by
MIR. +. B Lothrop, who in a well worded speech pre-
sented him with elegant solid gold watch aud
chain. Mr.. Lothrop told him that while he was not
member of a Portland club, still he had many
friends here who thought if he had been the medals
might have come here "Stubby' seemed to be
puzzled what to do. but he dotted his hat as an ac
knowledgment and went across the floor amid the
enthus iastic cheering OF the audience. Such gift
was never more worthily bestowed as Mr.. Williams
has been, as well thorough and scientific polo
r. and ha
hoor, and has set an example many of his associate
players would do we'll to follow. He was member
