blJOUS, ., BAY STATES "a
The Bijous won victory last night that they
have every reason to be proud of. They turned the
tables on the Bay States and did them up in as
rich shape as ever club has been done up in this
city. The game was played on lockwood rollers, and
if that caused the pretty plays and lack of rough
work that characterized the game, lockwood is what
the game should always be played on. There was a
large attendance for stormy night as many re-
membered the game of last year and braved the
blizzard TO see another like it. They saw an i'm
provement, for there were not SO many long waits
and there were more brilliant plays. The mem
bership of the Bay States was somewhat different
from that of last year. 1t was Riley, goal; Turkey
cover goal; Woods, centre; Foye, cover point:
Kean. lst lusher, and Rogers, I'd rusher. They
played good game, but were not equal to the
Bilious in corner work and chasing the ball. They
did some fine passing, but could not hold control Of
the Dali long enough to effect much by it. The
BJous all played good game. Dow, who PLAYED in
Morway's place, made some splendid stops and
Orne did some lively chasing after the ball. Foster
and Orr never played better. They kept cool about
their work and were successful nearly every time
in stealing the ball from their opponents They did
some good passing and worked together in fine
shape. Foster got every rush.

ball was struck to the Bijous goal hitting it on the
top edge, and sent straight back to the side to
Orr, who passed it to Foster, making pretty play.
The time of the goal was 51a minutes. In half a
minute after the second inning started the ball
went outside After that, for ten minutes, there
was scene of lively playing on the floor. Woods
at last, struck the ball from under the band stand

on its way it bounded in. Time 1914 minutes. The
third goal lasted BY minutes, and was won by the
B.jous. Orr passed the ball in the same manner as
during the first inning, to Foster who gave it
other spinning shot into the goal. The Bay States
again tied the score in the fourth goal Foye struck
the ball between Dow's legs into the Bijous goal
after four minutes play.
This dropped the spirits Of the club and audience
to pretty low state but the Bjous up for the
fifth rush looking as if they meant to do some bus

his playing. He played good game though.
