states there will apparently be no ID 0culty in ar
rapginga third match in the Empire City If so
desired. aud also if on the last day of their stay in
America Mr. Wlman wished 10 have match PLAYED
hetween the freshmen and any selected team from
Canada this could be satisfactorily arranged. The
Irlshmens chief object is TO have every match N
attractive one. and not to draw the well dry lbs
PLAYING TOO many matches on one ground. Ii IS a
somewhat interesting fact that every one of the
fifteen gentlemen who will comprise the Irish team
are stanch teetotalers 1t is altogether an accident
~ there is no rule of the Irish Lacrosse Assoca-
ton which cOmpels total abstinence. On >atur-
day June II. Mr.. Wman received the following
cable dispatch:
