League at the Annual Meeting Yesterday
General Sporting Notes.

The Witches were right on their muscle
last night. They defeated the Tigers on
their own dirt pile, in sporting vernacular.
And there was no more surprised person at
the close of the game than Capt. Whiting,
for the Salems completely outplayed the
home team, winning for the first time
against the Tigers this season. The Salems
were out for the game, and put up such
speedy article of polo that 1t seemed as II
the home players were devoting all their
thinking powers to the transformation.
Hipson had all kinds of speed and got
over the floor with the velocity of an ex-
press train going down hill with the brakes
out of order.
Evidently Griffin was out to demonstrate
that the Grays made big mistake when
they let him go to Salem, but he should
have exercised better judgment and done
the sshowing up'' when he goes to Provi
dence. Dick Furbush used blocking tao
tics which would have held up the Empire
State express on the New York Central
railroad. With Wiley, the burly witch,
like paper overcoat In rain storm.
Hobe Whiting was back in the game,
and he was forced to favor his injured
ankle to considerable extent. The team
had an of night in every respect, and for a
time it looked like shut-out, The Tigers,
however, braced up In the early stages Of
the last period, and succeeded in sinking
two goals behind Heffernan. The sum-
mary:

Providence 10, Fall River7.
One of the widest games ever seen at
the Fall River rink was that fought last
night when Manager Murray's rejuvenated
Grays walked away with victory from
Cotters reds. Tommy regarded the game
as cinch and owing to the outcome he
was the most disappointed man in the
Border City last night. Fall River was
three goals behind at the close, but the
struggle was corker. Providence was
minus the services of Smith, but McPeck
put up great hame, and for two periods
the locals were outclassed. In the third
they began an uphill struggle that caused
the 1900 spectators to go wild with excite
ment.
After losing one for fouls, Fall River
made five and tied. The effort was too
much, and in the last few minutes some Of
the men found it difficult to stand. Provi-
dence eaged three in short order.
Sword was wall and oftened stopped
balls he never saw. Pierce and McPeck
were cut by sticks and Curley was dis
abled temporarily by stopping terrific
drive with his jaw. The Summary:
PROVIDENCE. FALL RIVER.
