In the fourth round OF a 20-round con-
test. which took place last night be-
fore the Empire Athletic club of this
city.
Polo Pointers.
Lations was right in the game last night
The fact that John Smith missed Con-
way was very apparent last evening.
Manager Doe is to be congratulated for
giving his halfback, Kid Conway, good
hard call down.
Cunningham was largely in evidence
last evening. His drives for goal were
particularly effective.
Doe made several drives for goal last
evening, and they were about as success
full as grocer's clerk at country turkey
rattle.
Salem has lost five games to New Bed
ford by one goal. In eight games against
the leaders the Salems have made but
18 goals.
Doe gave his usual pleasant exhibition
of temper last evening. These little rip
Piles to the game are now anticipated in
Pawtucket.
Precautions have been taken to avoid
trouble at the Salem Providence game at
the former city this evening. The appear
ance of Menard in Salem, where he Is cor
daily hated may cause interesting devel-
opments.
Salem will have q strong attraction
this evening in the Providences, and .
hot contest can be expected. The Paw
tuckets and the New Bedfords win meet
in New Bedford, and the Maldens win
play In Chelsea. - .,g,-. , -
: Charlie Lations says that the ''roast"
given Hefiernan for his work in the last
game with the Tigers was entirely uncalled
for. The fault for the loss of the game
by Salem did not rest with "Heff, who
tended good goal, but the team was clearly
outplayed.
It is understood that Manager Murray is
negotiating with New Bedford for the ex
change of Mul Smith for Conway. Doe
does not look upon a deal of this sort with
much favor, but may consent to let Con-
way become Gray as he has been unable
to do anything with the "kid" of late.
Conway would add material strength to
Providence. 1t will be remembered that
Manager Murray traded Conway for Mul
Smith two years ago.
