From the kinks.

Following is an extract from an article
on polo in the Brockton Enterprise after
the recent fire In the Shoe CITY;
SIN the m DIST OF polo season that was
becoming brilliant In every way, the fire
that destroyed the city rink came and
knocked the lively sport into cooked
hat.
The Lynn sports ought To do we'll by
the boys the rest OF the season. They
will find in Menard ana Pierce the most
brilliant pair of rushers To be found In
any single team playing the game. Will
Jams IL good centre, equally clever in
attack and defence, and man who is In
the game to win. Sullivan has no supe-
rlor In gauging and blocking drives, and
Curley IL a phenomenally quick and active
goal tender. They are gentlemanly
crowd OF players, with n toughs or hard
drinkers among them. Lynn profits by
Brockton's loss"
Right you are and they are Pawtucket
boys.

the game today than the Kangaroos.
