General Sporting Notes.

One fact is very evident and that is that
the parties i'm Providence who furnish the
score cards of the polo games will have to
have a special and enlarged edition printed
for games between the Tigers and the
Grays i'm future. The ordinary article fur
nished last evening was entirely made
quate for the purpose.
The little squad of five came over from
Providence last evening entirely unpre-
pared for the warm reception in store for
them. 1t was a case of outplayed at every
turn and the home team piled up goal
after goal with monotonous regularity.
The jokers in the fair sized audience re-
commended more morning practice,
Hoods Sarsaparilla and a variety Of anti
dotes generally prescribed for that tired
feeling 80 often read about. There Is not
much to be said about the game, except
in a general way. The exhibition OF team
work by Pawtucket was Of high order,
and it was another case of every man on
theIteam contributing to the victory.
A gentleman widely known as "Stone-
wall' Jackson would have admired the
way in which Charley Lations defended
the Pawtucket citadel. Manager Murray,
II he ever had any idea of securing Bone,
must have been made weary by the clever
work of that young man as compared with
some OF his own men. A celebrated organ
ist, whose ability was once the subject of
discussion and the cause Of his resigna-
ton, waited until the last Sunday he was
to fill his old position and then let himself
out, and the congregation never heard
such music in the church before. So IL
George had any idea that a deal was on he
followed the same tactics to great extent
and put up a much finer quality Of polo
than has been witnessed from him for
some time. Cunningham was all over the
floor and juggled the ball through the
Providence lines in great style. The
Writings were a serious obstacle to
Jimmy Canavan and his men, and their
drives for goal left their sticks with the
velocity of small cannon balls.
AS to their opponents, the only danger
GUS man on the team was Pierce who was
dangerously accurate on his drives from
the spot and tried hard to make up for the
slow work of the remainer of the Grays.
McPeck cut about as much figure in the
game as the chandelier over his head, but
this was excusable owing to the fact that
he is suffering from bad attack Of the
grip and left his bed to fill up the gap left
by the absence of Menard, who as usual
failed to materialize. He deserves credit
for his pluck in coming on the floor. Can
avan when he saw how things were going,
became somewhat ratified and his drives
for goal were about as accurate as a color
Q soldier on target excursion. He was
caused no end of trouble by the agile Bone
who dogged hisfootsteps like an Indian,
and the Captain, judging from his express
sion wished him in Guinea.
The most uncomfortable man on the
floor was Al Sword, who was kept on the
Jump from the opening of the game until
the last bell rung. He frequently left the
cage unprotected, and the Tigers were not
slow in taking advantage Of the fact in
several Instances. In the last period Capt.
Hobe gave way to Leydon, whose appear
ance was greeted bya round OF applause,
and Billy went right to work in good
style, and one of the prettiest plays Of the
evening was the way he carried the ball
down the floor unassisted and drove 1t
past Mr.. Sword before that gentleman
knew where he was at. The summary
tells the rest of the story:
