Friday the Maroons play at Newport and
at New Bedford next Saturday.
Listen to this from Thursday nights
Brockton Times: "Brockton climed into
first place yesterday. Yes, Pawtucket
might beat Boston, but it's several times
different proposition to beat Brockton.
Since administering the defeat to the
Beaneaters, those sand diggers from Rhode
Island have been aching to get at Brock
ton, which had such a strong team "on
paper" Well, they got at Brockton yes
terday at Highland Park. They are still
aching, but it's different kind of ache
now. Ever experience that kind Of aching
that IA mothers vigorous arm and we'll
soled slipper producesr That's the kind
Pawtucket has now. Brockton took Paw
tucket over It's knee and MacDuff never
laid on like Brockton did. Now Paw
tucket Is sore In spots"
Still another from the Brockton Times:
''That big maroon circle on Pawtucket's
breasts looks like Washington pie. Paw
tucket was pie yesterday, and the Brock
tons found 1t great eating. No yellow kid
or any ether kind of kid ever had more
fun in the pantry than the Brocktons did
yesterday with their pie. They piled it
into them like lad doing double-quick
on the act. Pawtucket, Pawtucket, go out
earlier next time when .Brockton is to be
on the field against you. Get in more
spring practice, for you need it badly
against team of crack-a-j jacks"
