About the managerial part OF the pro-

on the wane in this city for some time,
will be revived by the series OF games to

some cup offered by Mayor Tiepke are
evenly matched and IL is a difficult matter
TO pick the winner.

Boston Beaten at Home.
The Boston champions we're defeated In
their own rink last night by the Lynn
team, the score standing 8 to 2. Both
teams played from the start without a
let up and the result was the finest game
OF the season. 1t was a bard pill for
Capt. Cotter and his men to swallow,
but the Kangaroos were out for the game
and played an article of polo that made
the champions weary. Pierce was In the
game every instant, csging the ball three
times.
The other features of the game were the
superb defense work of Sullivan and
Everett and the phenomenal goal tending
OF Mike Curley. 1t seemed almost an i'm
possibility to land the ball behind the
heavyweight guardian of the net.
New Bedford Wins.

with the Woroesters resulted In defeat
iOT tHe NlsltOTb, VINO Wef6 COuslOeTaDly
weakened by the ebsence of McPeck. In

dered of the floor and finished the game

Minor Mention.
The polo games for tonight are Bostons
at Providence, New Bedford at Worcester.
Manager McGunDigle Of the Grays has
"fnd" in Wiley, who is playing center
on account OF the illness Of Leydon. He
is promising young player and affixed
his name to Providence contract yester.
day.
Charley Bassett has not yet signed with
Providence. IL everything pans out well
in this city Manager Leonard would like
to secure him to play third and captain the
team. lie would make an excellent ma n
for Pawtucket.
As the New England league will be
under the protection OF the national
agreement this season, any player taking
part In games with outside teams in cities
where clubs OF the New England league
are located stands a good chance Tor the
black list.
