1t is a strange fact that while the Tigers
are the best drawing cards at Salem, when
the Witches come to Pawtucket they are
never greeted by very large audience,
and they play pretty game of polo, too.
The men in blue came to town with the
determination of winning the game and
started in as though they meant business,
and the Tigers were able to score but one
goal in the first period. A peculiar acci-
dent happened to Griffin about this time.
He skated into the side Of the rink near
the centre of the stage and was unable to
get away again. 1t seems his foot had be-
come caught between two Of the sections
OF the siding and he was in pillory and
helpless 1t took four of the most mus
cular players to get him out. No harm
done.
1t was over 13 1-2 minutes after the sec
ond period opened before any scoring was
done, and then Bone and Cunningham
each drove goal in rapid succession. The
Tigers had scored one goal in the first
period, two in the second and to have the
work done in regular progression were due
to make three goals in the third. They
did it, but not before Hipson managed to
get the ball past Lations on short drive
from the side, making the only goal scored
by Salem during the game. The fifth goal,
which is credited to Cunningham, and
added to the Tigers score. was really made
by Hipson, and Gagged by him accidentally
while endeavoring to help Hefiernan, who
was being peppered in a lively manner at
short range.
The work Of Heffernan was brilliant,
especially in the first two periods, and his
good work in stopping four drives in
rapid succession in the first period was
loudly applauded. The Salems' play was
principally on the defensive, and about
the only men who did any driving were
Hipson, whose shots generally went wide
OF the goal, and Griffin.
During the entire game Lations had but
eleven stops, which indicates that the
ball was in the Salem territory most of
the time. Both the Tigers and the cranks
who watched the game have nothing to
complain about regarding the work of
Mills. To be honest about it, the Witches
played cleaner polo than the home team,
and several fouls made by the Tigers were
overlooked.
Just before the final gong struck, the
men were punched at the lower end of the
floor and "Bill' Whiting swung on the
ball raising it from the floor aud it landed
on Cunningham's jaw. "Cunny" dropped
rs though shot, and everyone thought he
was knocked out, but he was only dazed
for minute and finished the game. The
