THE PROFESSIONAL GAME.
Dawson, skofeld and Whitney skated
out on to the floor and were greeted with
loud applause.
Then Furbush, the rev man, came
out. He is fat and clumsy looking. he
skates about good deal after the style
of a dusk out of water. But his drives
are harder than those of Whipple and
his agsressiveness far superiord to that
of any man who has yet played in Port
land. The play commenced with the Gar
diners on the loog out for an easy thing
but they ran up against the new man OF
the Portlands the first send OF. Every
drive towards ths Portlands' goal was
stopred hy Furbush. He was always in
| the way Of the BALL Doherty the star Gar
diner player tried conclusions with Fur
| bush several times and was sorry he did
it. Such man for juggling the ball,
scheming fine team work and out man
ouvoring his opponents was never seen
here before. In fact Furbush played the
whole game, was the whole game and
practically won the game for Portland.
| Gardiner scored one. goal in the tirst
Period and that was done by Houghtnn
in long drive from the end Of the hall.
| Portland got four goals in which Daw-
SOS and Skofield's fine passes and the
interference of Whipple and Furbush
were the great features.
Allen, Captain Allen now, for lie has
heen SO designated by Manager Burnham,
stopped all Of the drives that got by
Furbush and Whipple but there were not
so very many OF them.
In the second period the playing Of the
visitors was the best ever seen here.
In team work, passing and rushing the
ball they haven't their equals IN the
league. With good goal tend Gardiner
| would prove FORMIDABLE Antagonists for
a1y team in the league. In this period
Portland got two goals and Gardiner
one.
| In the third period the game although
one sided was made exciting by the des-
perate efforts Of the Gardiner to score.
Portland got four more goals, Furbush
cagine the ball twice by long drives from
the end of the hall. Gardiner got one
more goal by the clever playing Of Nc
Gowan.
Taking all in all it was the best game
vet seen in Portland. With Furbush and
the two lively rushtrs Dawson end Sko

win the pennant. The oran&s say we
are in il and there's no doubt but that
they are right.

Portland defeated Gardiner last night
by u score CT 10 TO and though the scor-
ing was nearly all done by one team the
game was ore of the most exciting and
interesting yet played here.
Capt. Joseph Foster of the Portlands
was released yesterday by Manager
Burnham and a new man signed in his
Mace. This fact leaked out and the
cranks were on hand early to size mp the
new man. They didn't like him at first,
he appeared to be too fat and clumsy for
goud playing but as soon as the ball was
put into play Furbush showed what be
could do. Furbush has played with the
Salems for the past two years and leIt
them on account Of row with the man
aesment Of that team. Manager Burn
ham was fortunate in securing his ser
vices and engaged him to plny with
Portland over the long distance telephone
last night The new man came here Oh
the neon train and before he had been
on the floor FIVE minutes last night the
audience of 500 people wac cheering him
like mad. Furbush is by far the clever
est, headiest player in the Maine league
and if he keeps up the gait that he set
last night Portland will come pretty near
landing at the top of the heap before the
polo season in this state is ended.
THE AMATEUR GAME.

too, an amateur game was played last
night before the professionals we're called
