The people Of Seattle may not know
much about the game u lacrosse. hat the
EoozIy number who happened 70 take u
Sundays game between the Westminster
and Vancouver teams at Madison park
knew a good thing w1en they saw e. and
made x a point 10 be en- hand yesterday
with al their tiliicurS. Nearly thou
sand people were present when the blcod
BEGAN 70 flow. Every man on either team
was more or less the worse for wear as q
result Of the previous days set-tc, but
that only seemed % remind them OF
duty they had 70 perform. and whenever
any Individual player osgsn 10 look seri-
ous and frtsk around like a CAlvalrous
rnatadore, every body held his breath, be-
cause those who mad seen the game the
day before said something was going TO
happen. Strange TO say. IL happened ev-
cry time. once, however, il happened
little harder than usual, and when the
wreck Of a conglomerate melee was clear
Cd away Joe Reynolds. the big Injun Of
the Vancouver aggregation, and best Jun
Tor player in the province. was carried
from the field smoking ruin. II wasn't
his fault. nor was X Nahoney's. the stall
wart who biffed him Il was one OF those
inconceivable long-to-be- vished-for occur
rences which are the life OF lacrosse or
any other game.
The game began promptly at 3 o'clock
and IL was soon evident that Vancouver
intended squaring up her defeat Of the
day before by the hardest kind of work.
A dexterous manipulation OF ball and
racket by Reynolds scored a Vancouver
goal in just three minutes. McDougalls
guarding OF the Vancouver goal and sew
eral brilliant runs by Ford Of the same
team were the features OF this relay.
Hill, the Scurry brothers, "Dutchy''
Paul. Barr and McDougall were all ca
pering around at lively rate during the
next time OF play. Linklater. who was the
star OF the day, made wonderful drive
from nearly the center OF the field and
secured another goal for Vancouver after
twenty-five minutes playing.
IL was in the third game OF the match
that Nahoney starred. Not satisfied with
carrying the ball many times from one
end OF the field 10 the other. he neatly
executed the diversion of carrying quar-
ter section OF Reynolds skull with it. For
this hilarious pastime he was ruled of
the field. and because OF the utter dis
ability Of every available substitute on
account Of healing wounds, the game pro-
ceeded with eleven players on3 each side.
Ford continued 10 do brilliant work
throughout the game, as did Linklater,
the Vancouver kid wonder. who loosened
out his links at every opportunity. scor-
ing the last four goals of the game Barr
executed one of the cleverest pieces Of
work of the day when he bowled over
three opponents and by a long run
brought the ball close TO Westminster's
goal "Dutchy'' Paul. who. with Pitten-
drigh and Rankin, were the life of West
minister's play, was logged from the field
a lifeless lump at one stage of the game.
