THEY PLAYED TO WIN.
COnanicuts Make it Hot
for the Wanderers.
LOST BY A PENALTY KICK.
Pawtuckets Played Poorly and the
Game Resulted in a Tie.

Saturday afternoon the Wanderers had
for their opponents on the Dexter street
grounds the Conanicuts of Fall River in a
In q New England series game. IL had
been generally supposed that the visiting
team was not in the Wanderers class and
that the game would be practically a
walk over. Imagine the surprise OF the
Wanderers and spectators when the visi-
tors came out of the fray with a tie game.
II opened the eyes of the 800 people
present to the fact that the Spindle City
eleven is improving.
Probably the Wanderers learned one
thing by the game Saturday and that it
is better to "play ball' first and then, If
the lead will allow them, to fool away a
little time. The Wanderers did not play
their usual game Saturday and the visi-
tors played better, that is the game in a
nutshell.
For the Wanderers, Guy, O'Neil and s.
Jenkins followed the ball well and played
for the game, but Davis, who is generally
unequalled by any, had his off day as did
some of the others. Perhaps they were
resting and their oars for contests to
come.
Carney, who was in goal for the Conan
icuts, was always there when the leather
was sent in that direction and was ably
assisted by Dillon and Farrell. Morgan
lost the game for his team by accidentally
putting the first goal through for the
Wanderers.

The visitors looked pretty in their neat
suits, when lined up ready for business,
and the ball was started rolling lively,
and for some time was hustled hither and
thither without mnch gained by either
side. The first goal scored by the Wan
derers was an accident, and Morgan, who
kicked the ball SO well Saturday, is kick
ing himself today on that account.
A shot was made for goal and he hap
pened to be in the right position to send
the leather flying through his own goal.
Then came some tall hustling in which
honors were equally divided between the
Pawtucketites and their guests. S. Jen-
kins seemed to have a controlling interest
In the sphere and scored the second
goal on a very pretty shot which Carney
was unable to stop.
Not satisfied with putting it through
once, he started in again and tried to
freeze out every one who wanted to inter
view the leather, and after long, hard
runu,nade bad shot and the enemy cap
tured the sphere and sent it bounding
gracefully out OF their territory.
The visitors then braced up and began
to force matters to suit themselves. They
rushed the ball up the field and Morgan
redeemed himself in the eyes of his asso-
ciates and the "cranks" outside the ropes
by scoring the first goal on a neat shot,
which Mcfarland was too slow to stop.
Davis and McCann blundered little
and their playing was below the
standard
Half time was call with the score to /
in the Wanderers favor.
Both teams started in lively on the re
call, the Conanicuts to win and the Wan
derers on the defence. Carney made some
sharp stops and was generously applauded
by the spectators. A penalty kick was
given the Pawtuckets on foul in front
OF the visitors goal. 1t is the second
time such kick has been given on these
grounds and generally means a goal.
Pagan did the honors, but failed to score
although it looked like sure thing. The
ball was taken to the Wanderers goal and
kept there.
Stanton seemed to have got control of
Morgan's interest on the ball and made a
fine run and finished by scoring, tieing
the game. 1t was but few minutes be-
fore the call of time and although both
elevens tried to break the score they
could not and thus the game ended.
