Mike Everett of the Fall Rivers has
made his first goal of the season.
Menard played better polo last night
than at any time since he Joined the Grays.
Providence and New Bedford will have
fierce battle at the Whaling port this
evening. Fall River plays at Salem.
The Whalers are reported to have sorry
fifteen minutes of it, when Doe got after
them in the dressing room after the game.
The work of both goal tends last night
was picturesque. Sword had the fiercest
stops to make, but Lations met some that
were strictly up-to-date.
Portland defeated Lewiston II to 8 at
Portland last night. The work of Jim
Dawson was feature of the game. He
scored five goals on pretty plays.
Mul Smith is putting up star game at
halfback. II he sustains the form he dis
played last night he will be pocket-edi-
tion of Hobe Whiting before the season is
many weeks older.
The ball rolled with the Grays in the
first period of last nights game. 1t came
to Cunningham and Bone In exasperating
style for about 10 minutes, and 1t was a
wonder that the Grays didn't score more
goals.
1t is rumored that Salem is willing to re-
lease Heffernan and experiment with Fur
bush tending goal. Close observers are
inclined to think this would prove cost
ly mistake, and that the fault lies not SO
much with "Heff" as 1t does with Furbush
In his close play to the cage.
When the Tigers arrived at the New
Bedford rink on Tuesday evening and
Roberts found that Leydon was to play in
Bones place he inquired sarcasticly, why
the regular team was not there, instead of
lot of "dubs." 1t would be gratifying to
know what he thought of the "dubs" after
the game. ~ ..., ~.
Cunningham's work against the Grays
last night was spectacular. Despite the
fact that Capt. Canavan, Mul Smith and
Sword were putting up the games of their
life Cunny tore through the defence time
and again, carrying the ball to the very
sill of the Grays' cage, and giving Sword
some hot stops to kick out.
Possibly the inclination of Walters, who
timed the Pawtucket- New Bedford game
on Tuesday evening, to extend the period
TO Ave minutes when there was but one
and half minutes TO play, may be 90
counted for by the fact that Wafters u
Does right nelder, in the bose ball season

With countenance beaming over with

Matt Barry, the old-time baseball player,
accompanied the Providence team to the
Auditorium last evening to spur his favor
ties on to victory. But the honors fell to
the Tigers, and Matt returned home
slightly disappointed and with a few more
gray hairs on his disheveled Uranium.
Matt Is now engaged throwing high and
low "balls" at the Providence Girard
