Wants the Big Fight.

In the consequence of the unfortunate
retirement of Capt. w hitting the Pawtucketi
have been forced to relinquish their hold
on first place, and will now have their
hands full to prevent Capt. Cotter and his
braves from passing them In the process
sion. 1t is unfortuI tie that the Tigers
have been deprived 80 !ong of the services
of their heady captain. When he received
his injury at the Auditorium on Thanks
giving day, the club sas in the lead by a
good margin and had not lost game at
home. Since then the team has lost three
home games, and, necessarily the lead.
With Whiting in IL, game this week the
boys will do some lively execution to win
back laurels.
IT looks as IL the Salems would soon
emerge from the iart position, which they
have been holding down from the start.
The New ~Bedforls and Fall Rivers are
playing slashing poo and the Providence
cranks are looking for the Grays to take
big brace this week. The teams were
never more evenly matched and 1t is toss
up as to which city has the strongest
quintet. Interest In the game is on the
increase and from this out the struggle
for the pennent will be tropical.
The progress of the work up to date is
as follows:

Fall River o, Pawtuclxet b.
Chuting the chutes was very popular at
Crescent Park the past summer, and of
late the Tigers have taking big liking to
seances of this sort. At go O'Clock at the
Auditorium Saturday night, Capt. Cum
ningham and his associates took their seats
in the chute at the appointed hour, and
IOmmy SOtJer anu nlS heuS from rail-
River did the rest. By the time the Tigers
realized what was going on Cotter and his
gang had the game snugly tucked away in
their inside pockets. OF course the Tigers
began to hustle then, but too many things
had happened on the start and they strug-
gled against lost cause. In other words
the Fall Rivers iwon the game by score
of 8 to 8.
BY their victory the Fall Rivers tied the
home team for second place in the race for
honors. There seemed to be yellow
streak I'm the Pawtucket's playing. On the
other hand the visitors never put up a
better game. Cunningham was supposed
to play center, but he forgot himself on
many occasions, and juggled the ball
around the rink and drove for the cage as
IL he was down on the bill to play rush.
This left Bill Whiting and Lations in a
bad hole, for with Cotter, Wodtke and
Russell banging away at the cage il was an
easy matter TO land nine safe ones i'm the
net behind Lations. Curley and Everett
played strong defence, but Mike made
some stops OF hard driven balls that he
could not get out OF the way of il he was a
good skater. The summary:
