ting of steam occasionally to made the
race interesting, you will have an idea of
the game OF polo played between the Ii
gers and Salems at the Auditorium last
evening.
There is no doubt the Salem team came
from New Bedford at an early hour this
morning with the intention of winning
the game. Their play showed that.
The game after the first period was not
particularly interesting. The Tigers were
not thoroughly warmed up, and 1t took
them about the length of the first period
TO get In form. Likea race horse the Paw
tucket men In order to play good polo re-
quire warming up process, and 1t may be
said that In the first period the Salem team
did this part of the program very ef'ectu-
ally, for the Salems captured three goals

Just as the first period opened Cunning
ham was struck in the thigh by a swift
drive made by Hipson from the spot, and
rs he went down there was sorrow in the
hearts of the followings of Pawtucket, for
the accident looked as though the popular
rusher was seriously injured, but after
rubbing down he came back on the floor
as fast as ever, and the cranks frightened
up, for with Bone disabled the serious in
jury to any one man would have involved
serious consequences. During this period
the play was almost entirely at the Salem
goal, but resulted nevertheless in the score
at the end of the inning being 3 to in
favor of the visitors.
The second period opened with the IT,
gers thoroughly warmed up and ready for
business, but in the first part of the period
Leyden and Cunningham failed to connect,
but they soon got to work and the re-
mainder of the period was all Pawtucket,
Leyden making 3 of the goals scored and
getting better acquainted with his COM
panions' play each minute. Three features
marked this period: Leydon's clever all
around play, Cunningham's clever Jug
Cling, and a somersault taken by Billy
Leyden into the Salem goal, which would
have disabled any other man on the floor.
The last period was a repetition of the
second. After securing safe lead the
Pawtuckets played on the defensive, and
did not exert themselves to any great ex-
tent, and simply kept the ball where it
could do no harm.
For the visitors Hipson played speedy
game, as did Bartlett, and the general
team work of the visitors was very fair.
Gendreau made several fouls, which were
not called, and 1t must be acknowledged
that one or two of the Pawtucket team did
little holding on their own account,
which, however, cut no figure in the game
Leydon was very fast, and showed his
ability to juggle the ball through the
ranks OF the visitors almost at Will. Will
whiting was fast, showing more speed
than he has for some time and his block
ing saved more than one goal to Paw
tucket. The work OF Cunningham and
Captain Hobe was the same clever exhibi-
tion of team work that has been witnessed
80 often. When the team got warmed up
they played entirely around the Salem
team. Lations had but little to do. The
