Roberts evidently has 1t in for Bone. On
Thursday night he deliberately sent the
ball at him with all the Espeed he could
master, regardless Of the location OF goal.
1t Is fortunate circumstance that the
plucky rusher was not disabled, as Roberts
evidently intended.
Early in the season the members OF the
Salem team started In to freeze Bartlett
out of the game which resulted In putting

the players, cranks and all concerned are
very glad the attempt did notisucceed.
Hobe Whiting and Lations called on DR..

finger is very painful, but both men are
getting in better shape every. day.
The cranks down in Salem won't do a
thing to Menard when they get a chance
at him. 1t was announced that he would
play in the game there Thursday night,
and the crowd provided themselves with
decayed fruit and rotten eggs. In some
way Menard got wind of the affair and re-
fused to play. 1t would have been made
very interesting for him il he had.
When the captain Of team gets Missed
by the cranks of his own city there Is gen.
orally strong provocation. lin the game
with the Tigers at New Bedford on Thurs
day night Doe deliberately tripped Cum
ningham, and not being satisfied with
this style of fun proceeded to jump on
him &hiie down. This last foul play was
too much for the audience and Doe was
greeted with q storm of Kisses, and re-
tured the compliment by indulging in
some language not fit for polite or any
other society.
