only be reversed by tbs courts or by Congress

The Falmouths defeated the Dirigos last night in
the local tournament giving them the prize Of SIS.
1t was an exceedingly rough game. Two or three Of
the Falmouths were especially rough in their play
and repetition OF such dangerous whacking as
they indulged in should bar them from the surface
As it was they narrowly escapel losing one or two
goals by FOULS kckett did excellent work In their
goal, but the work of the rushers was abominable.
On the Dirigos Mccarthy and Rogers played pret-
ty game as far as able when Falmouth player was
not rum ng wild over them and showed more skill
than is usually seen in an amateur game. The Di.
RIGGS won the first goal aud the Falmouths the last
three. After the third goal Hammett was disabled
and the Dirigos played five men against the Fal-
mouths six The last goal was good exhibition en-
the Dlrigos' part and they held the Falmoutha in
good play until whitney got tired Of having nothing
to do and lett HIS goal anu the ball in the cage
before he could get back.
