For the first time since the 18th of De-
cember the Fall River team were defeated
in their own rink last night, and in addi-
tion were completely outplayed. After
the first few minutes play the Indians
stood no more chance Of winning the game
than they do Of winning the pennant. The
game was remarkably clean and devoid Of
anything approaching dirty play.
Captain Hobe tried an experiment last
night and took a verdant newspaper man
along with the team, and is SO well pleased
with the result that the trips of this indi-
vidual to games played away from home
will be more frequent in future. Incl
dentally the scribe was allowed to wear
"Count" Lation's rabbit foot during the
game, and this undoubtedly had some
thing to do with the easy victory the
Tigers won.
The Pawtucket players met with far
more cordial reception when they made
their appearance on the door than Cotter's
men are In the habit of receiving In Paw
tucket. When Captain Hobo made his ap-
peafance followed by Lations, they were
greeted with round of applause almost
rs hearty as that given the home team.
Considering the storm the audience was
large, and it was an audience that watched
the game closely and were quick to applaud
good work.
In about four and one half minutes after
O'Malley blew his whistle Russell Gagged
q goal, and part of Capt. Hobe's apparatus
becoming detached he was obliged to
leave the 6oor, and Leyden took his place
and Connell scored two goals in rapid
succession, the last one being on a bound
from the netting which he caught on the
fly. Captain Whiting having made. neces-
sary repairs appeared again on the floor
and the goal getting Of the Fall Rivers
suddenly stopped. Bone scored the first
goal for the Tigers on a pretty pass from
Leydon and Hobe followed by mailing a
pretty pass from Cunningham. Before
the gong struck Bone Gagged another and
the period closed with the score tie.
During the second period the Paw
tuc,.ets had little difficulty in scoring
three goals, the second being made by H.
Whiting, who carried the ball through
the entire Fall River defence, and the last
by Cunningham, who carried the ball the
entire length of the rink.
The Pawtuckets continued their good
work in the last period and added two
more to their score, making 1t S-3in their
favor:
The splendid team work of the Tigers
was frequently applauded, and they GER
tainly made a show of the homo team. In
fact their superiority became 80 apparent
that the audience Missed tho home team in
the last period. Tom Cotter wore sad
expression, and he frequently inquired Of
the timer how many more minutes the
agony would last.
During the last period Capt. Whiting
had very narrow escape from losing the
sight of his right eye. 1t happened in this
way: Cotter had the ball on the left of
the rink and was preparing to make one Of
his terrific drives when Hobe went in to
block him. Cotter saw him coming, and
knowing from experience delays were dan
gerous, swung his stick, which caught the
captain on the right eyelid, and for few
seconds he was unable to see. Cold water
applications brought him around suffic-
iently to continue the game for short
time when he gave way to Leydon. How
narrow his escape was will be realized
when upon examination ii was found that
the eyelash had been rubbed of and the
eyelid bruised.
The Tigers gave another clever exhibi-
tion OF team work last night that com
manded the respect of their opponents
and won for them much favorable COM
ment. The Fall Rivers as team are out
classed when the Pawtuckets put up the
the game they did last evening.
Individual comment on the work of the
Tigers is unnecessary; every man played
to win. The work of Lations was excel
lent. AS for the home team they had
NOSE decided night of, and the work of
Russell and Cotter was miserable. Everett
