persnce Hall last evening and the largest
crowd OF the season was in attendance
tv witness the sport. Te first encounter
was between the Wine Clerks OF Central
Falls and Pawtucket and here was scarce
ly standing room In the arena when the
ten heavyweights and referee came on the
surface.
The make up of the teams was as fol-
low:
Central Fsils-Dwyer and T. Kennedy,
rushers; Burns, centre; Healey, half back /;
Kerns, goal.
These were the positions assigned them,
but they were In positions most OF the
time that their own mothers could not
recogn iZe them.
Both teams were eager for the fray and
after the players were escorted to their
positions the game began. Some of the
members moved around a. IL they had fiat
cars strapped to their pedal extremities,
Dut II soon became apparent that the
home team would win. After a great
deal OF effort they carried play into the
opposing camp and finally got a goal.
The playing was not fast and furious,
but rather OF the storm time order. IL
was stated that the Pawtucket exponents
had the game down like well adjusted ma.
chimes, but the audience failed to see any
traces Of this report. Kennedy Gagged the
second goal for Central Falls on a drive
from the spot In about three minutes.
The referee was no factor In the game
and requests for . cessation of hostilities
brought the wrath of both teams on his
head. After awhile he became aware that
his life was In danger by blowing the
whistle.
With only Ave minutes to play the game
was tie and dgring that time the air was
filled with Rying arms and sticks. Just
ss time was up Dwyer and Burns put in
an appearance at the Pawtucket end and
selves, as three men were tangled In the
cage netting when the whistle blew.
The game between the Wood bines and
and Olynpics of Providence In the State
series was won by the visitors, who put
up very aggressive game. The home boys
did not seem to play In their usual form
and many hne chances to score we're lost.
At the end OF the fret inning the score
was to In favor of the Olympics, the
Woodpines playing most OF the time four
men. First Harrison was of the floor
with q broken skate and then the rollers
OF Msynards' skate parted company.
Byrnes played good game In goal and
Crowley made both goals scored by the
Woodoines.
In the second inning the Woodbines
played hard to equslize matters, but the
Olympics played a strong defensive game,
Lswton at half back playing a strong
game. The OlynSpics scored another goal
In the ., cond halt making the standing
6to2.
