ayers should take note of the fact.
A feature of the local games
is the large attendance of ladies and
the interest they take in the game.
They delight in the crashing of sticks
and skates and occasional scrimmages.
But what a difference when a player is
stricken helpless to the floor. The light
goes from their eyes, the color from
their cheeks. and from tip-toed posi-
lions near the ratings they drop back
into their seats and bury their faces
in handkerchiefs. Not so with the men.
They find out who laid out their favor
lite and then howl for more blood. Such
is the difference.

Germs cause lung and throat diseases

Nature then needs help.
Anglers Petroleum Emulsion is that
help. 1t is an antiseptic-a purifier OF dis

Augusta Loses In an Usiatsrssiins Game
How Il Happsnsd.

The game, last evening. between
Bath and Augusta, resulting in vic
tory for the former by score of to l.,
was disappointment in every way.
Bath outplayed the home players in
team work, and won the game on it's
merits. after throwing out some hold
ing. most of which was noted by
Referee O'Melia. four fouls being called
on them, to Augustus three, each thus
losing one goal
Augusta played nowhere near her
were handicapped in goal, Berry fail
ing to stop some easy ones. c. Broad
bent made his appearance with the
home team. having been released from
Lewiston. and had hard game to play.
The Bath players had orders to block
him off at any cost. and they laid for
him right and left. With the whole
team after him, he was unable to do his
usual amount of good work.
Lee replaced Berry at goal in the last
period, which was the best fought of
the game. each team winning goal.
In this period Augusta seemed to strike
something like it's pace, and gave the
visitors a tussle.
Turner played his usual sharp, agrees
sive game, and with Lee did the best
work for Augusta. The latter played
at half back and goal in great style.
The visitors won much admiration
for their team work, and they fairly
beat out the home team. With Hackett
in goal it might have been some kind
of a fight.
Jason played a good game at center.
and worried the Bath men, time and
again spelling a good rush for Bath.
The passing of the visitors was first
class, and with less persistent work
on the part of Lee. Jason and Turner
would have made a bad matter worse.
The game was without sensation and
was decidedly undressing.
