ALL so Different.
Augusta Plays Good Team Game and
Beats Bath, IS to5.
Lively Polo With Good Attendance Augusta
Stock is Higher.


that is often called fight to the fin
ish; for the Bath team played with
everlasting pluck. if they did get a
little short of wind at the wind-up.
1t was a relief. gentlemen. a great
right down on their work, and turn
out such good polo. 1t was team work
of great description, and there was
much applause throughout. First it
was one, then it was another of the
Augusta team until the whole outfit
had got enough to spoil the average
mortal.
There has been something of a much
needed shake-up in the Augusta team
The Augusta audience showed its ap-
probation and it stuck out all over
them. How tickled they We're.
There was throughout a criss- cross
ing Of passes that is polo of the orig
inal type. c. Broadbent, standing
there near the cage, made some
bee -utiful drives, and it mattered not
to him whether he was standing front
to or back-to." He managed to get
the ball there, or somewhere near
there, about every clip.
This very spot of rusher, is where
the Augustus have been weak. and il
was like the cool breeze on sum-
mer's day to have a man there that
can slam in when the time comes
That did Broadbent, just as he did
when here with Lewiston, against the
home team, Thanksgiving day Then
the audience hated him for it; but not
thus, Friday evening.
The score shows the story. Bath
took the first goal. Then an Augusta
man kicked the ball in the cage, and it
didn't go. Next Mr. j. Broadbent. who
played goal for Augusta. in his anxiety
fer the good cause, tipped the ball out
of the cage, and on a generous foul, the
second goal went to Bath But then
there was a change. Augusta took the
next nine and the people went wild.
1t was the passing that brought the
their eyes in the back of their heads,
and slid the ball across to C. Broad
l,apt N,-hn JiI tho ract
Both the goal tenders did able work
scuffiing and jumping about as is their
custom. j. Broadbent had rather the
best of it. but Scanned got lots of
cheering. McAndrew played his usual
steady clip. and was very bothersome
throughout in these little inside shows
which don't make so much noise, but
makes ~ into a hard, aggressive
game
1t was battle royal. and the 800
people present We're treated to a great
sight.
