Upon motion of Mr.. II. d. Galbraith,
the report of the Joint car inspector was
accepted and a vote of thanks rendered
| for the efficient manner In which the
| business of the association had been ham
| died by him. A motion was also made
and carried that a telephone be put in
| the joint car inspectors office at Fort
| Worth.
\ discussion then arose relative to pri-
vate line cars being passed over the trans
fer with bull bars missing, and the meet
ing ordered that they be passed and the
receiving company replace the bul bars
If they so desire and bill the expense
against the owners for the same.
Mr.. lfogSett, joint car inspector. handed
the secretary the following list of ques-
lions 10 he answered by the meeting for
his instruction:
l. In interchanging cars under the safe
4, ,Io, equipment law In effect February Is.
40 h you s for
height of drawbars t3lia inches to Az
Inches for standard gauge cars, consii-
OF draw bars due to the condition Of
tracks?
q Would IL be advisable to pass cars
when the loading of such cars with heavy
machinery, etc, causing the elevation OF
one end OF car and the lowering of the
other end, so that The draw bars are not
within the prescribed limits, although
cars are stenciled Draw bars Of standard
heighth?"
Answer-The above two questions were
left to the discretion of the joint car
inspector.
3. Can cars be refused for interchange
with drawbars at standard height when
loaded for points within the State? In
other words, can these cars be refused
" hen loaded for State traffic only?''
Answer--The cars must be refused.
4. Do YOU recommend an enforcement OF
n rule refusing all cars equipped with
master car builders couplers' with miss
ing knuckles, also in keeping in good re-
pair the uncoupling arrangements for
same?
Answer-Cars should be repaired II pos
sible.
It was then suggested that stock of
repairs for master car builders drawbars
be kept on hand by the Joint car inspector
ri Fort Worth and after some discussion
OF the matter, Mr.. q. a. Hancock made
the following motion;
THAT Mr. Hogsett be instructed to cor
respond with the various coupler com-
panies and ascertain IL they would send
him a small amount of parts for the
Tepairs of the drawbars and allow him
TO issue them authority to bill against the
companies who used the parts after same
had been issued by him. Further, that
he notify each member of thc replies re-
ceived by him." Carried.

Notes OF the Game.

Dick Phillips is on the improve.
Haclett can everlastingly hack it.
Team work, gentlemen, great team
work.
Now. then. what's the matter with
Augusta
The Lewistons are sinewy, honey
lot of players, and have good wind.
The seventh goal was on daisy
pass from Lee to McAndrew. Did you
see it?
O'Melia got the full force of a stick
on the left eye. cutting the lid and dis
abling him. Nothing serious will re-
suit we are glad to say.
Hackett received terrific blow from
the ball on the face. laying him out for
a few minutes. He came up pluckily
and smilingly and got hearty round
of applause.
G. Rroadbent complained because he
didn't get work enough up near the
cage. Well he might. Perhaps how
ever. il wasn't so much Lewiston's in
ferior work as it was Augustus lively.
q eressive interference. The passes
were often stopped en- route.
G. w. Broadbent is one of the best
goals in the league, and he made some
great stops. last evening. His legs are
all over the lot, and every ball that
comes within Is feet of him. he makes
bid for. That's all right, old man,
the crowd likes you and your work
Half-back Lee, the latest acquisition
of the home team, is all right. Mr.. Lee
comes here from Portland. He has a
aocd record behind him, having been a
member of the famous Nara gansetts
and also the Fall River teams. lie
n,aved n hard sharp game, last even
ine and got his share of the cheering.
That was an odd goal of Jason's in
tho second period. He got the rush. as
usua, did Mr.. Jason, and sent the
hall down to the cage, slamming it in.
II took lust three seconds. Then the
,ro,,,a yelled. C. Broadbent got the
,ax+ ,ush. and came very near playing
+,,o same trick on Augusta. 1t was
a notable coincidence.

Hackett, the new goal tender. plays
watchful game that makes him
goal tender Of much genuine worth,
aside from his own work, which, il
last evenings work is any criterion is
nightly reliable. 1t was great sport
to see him keep his eyes all over the
arena. He was wise in one respect in
particular. He kept that fatal dis
trict to the right of his cage well pro-
tected, and time and again would call
attention to it,

Early in Evening.

Before the regular scheduled game
between the Augustus and Lewistons.
last evening. the Capital Citys and
"Hohos," amateur teams, played a
very interesting and exciting game.
the Capital Citys finally winning by a
score of to 4.
The game was full of snap, and the
crowd which gathered early. got its
moneys worth out of it. This game
and the league game. through Manager
Smarts arrangements, We're for one
price of admission.
The features of the game were the
playing of the Pedder brothers of the
Capital Citys.
The teams lined up as follows:
Capital City-C. Pedder, | r. st. Peter.

ing. in which game Augusta beat out
Lewiston by a score of IL to A. Peter
is in the game as goal tender, and
general high supervisor OF the team
work, which he handles carefully, cool
ly, and in no ways to the detriment OF
his position.
Mr.. Lee, the other new man at half
back, also made a big dent in the
opinion of the people present, and his
active. persistent work was given lots
of praise. He cracks the ball with
sharp, active ticks. and for defensive
bothersome play is star.
The home team played a game thai
it may well be proud of. 1t worked
together like n lot of cog-wheels, and
individual plays We're again and again
given applause.
Jason covered himself with glory
and as first rusher did as good work
as has been seen here. He was all
over the lot in front of the Lewiston
cage. and handled the passes in quick
style.
O'Mela. who was temporarily on the
floor while Lee was fixing a skate, was
again in hard luck, and with cut
over the left eye was forced to retire
after playing his usual good game
Phillips also did effective work, and
was right there on deck Great inn
provement was noticed in Dicks work
The Lewistons, for their part played
a hard game. and were plucky
throughout. G.. w. Broadbent at goal
made his usual hit With the crowd. and
got more cheering than any other man
on his team. His stops saved many
a goal
c. Broadbent was not given the sup
port he had on his former appearances
here with the Lewistons. They didn t
play together as well as usual, and he
didn't have the opportunities of get
ting his usual sharp cracks in at the
cage.
The Portlands will play here, Dec
Il. Friday evening.
