Visitors to Pawtucket from other cities
remark the fact that the Pawtucket press
give the game more and better support
than any other city in the circuit.
Referee Manning cannst be compliment

as he allowed several fouls deliberately
made by the Grays to pass unnoticed. The

Conway did.
Burnham of Portland Is anxious to have
the Pawtuckets come to Maine and play
two or three exhibition games before the
close of the season. The dates the Portland
people want conflict with the home games
of the Tigers but it is probable that trip
will be taken through Maine at the close
of the season and possibly game or two
may be played before that time. The
Maine season closes on March 18th.
The calling of Smith of Providence,
"Dirty Null" will never be criticised by
a Pawtucket audience again. His work in
slamming Bone against the side Of the rink
in Providence last night, was one of the
meanest acts ever witnessed on the surface.
Playing of this kind does not tend to in
crease the popularity of the game, and
both management and players will find 1t
out, probably when it is too late. Scien-
tific and not dirty polo is what the patrons
OF the game are looking for.
