Notwithstanding the fact that the
mercury was lowering about the zero

perature OF the delegates who gathered In

On the Home Stretch.
BY their victory over the Wbalers and
the Bostons' downfall In Lynn Saturday
night, the Providence team took first place
In the race for the penDant. The Grays
have been moving near the band wagon
for several weeks. They will have To play
gilt edge polo, however, to maintain the
lead as Capt Cotter In out for the cham
pionship. The Lynns are a close third and
are gradually pulling to the front. 1t is
believed that the Kangaroos would be in
first position now but for the burning of
the Brockton rink which necessitated a
weeks layon. This IL quite a handicap for
the team, but vertheless Capt. Sullivan
and the rest of the boys are playing their
hardest to land the bunting.
Mensrd Was on Deck.
Four goals to the lead and only about
ten m lnutes OF playing time remaining
was the predicament In which tho Lynns
found themselves Saturday evening In
their game against the BostoDs. The
Kangaroos put on steam, however, and
managed To finish victorious by score OF
to 8, Menard getting the goal which
brought JOY to the Lynn cranks.
Wanted First i'lace.
The game at Infantry Hall between the
Grays and New Bedfords was played with
out foul being called, Mul Smiths
absence probably being accountable for
this strange feature. The Whalers put up
great game but the homesters were out
for the game and won toe.
Around the Kinks.
The Brockton parties who are consider
ing the advisability OF building rink in
that city next season want the assurance
that the Kangaroos will play there.
Worcester with Pierce instead OF McPeck,
would make q satisfactory team Tor Paw
tucket In that event.
The Athletics add d another to ther
unbroken string Of defeats In the State
series at Infantry Hall Saturday evening,
the Oympics winning by score of Z TO 0.
Newcomb still leads in the goal scoring
with Wodtke and Roberts in his wake.
