ana good number of spectators were

was no time after the commencement
OF the second period when If was no+
almost certain that Augusta would win
ne reason for the winning of the game
was the playing of the Augusta team
which was far better than tbev hove

Ia got into the game" and tha way
they banged the ball at the Rock,ana
soai was good to see. On the other
hand, the Rockland men were not Extra
good shots, with the exception of our
old captain. Perry, who gave o'Malley
what little work he had to do. A
glance at the stops will show that An
gusta kept the ball shooting at the
Rockland cage, while Rockland could
not touch ours.
The game started by O'Hara winning
the rush. and then all hands went into
II with vigor. Perry Gagged the ball
after nearly three minutes play.
hockland Won two more goals, then
Augusta went into the game all over.
The second goal was an odd one. as it
went clear of both Hadley's and O'Mal-
ley's head into the cage.
But for the great work of Smith in
goal. the score would have been piled
UP faster, but he more than laid him
self out on the work. He will bear
watching, however, as his hands often
look as though they came near the
ball.
In the second period he left the floor
in the middle of the play, Maynard TAX
ing his place. When Smith left, the
score was tie, each having three
goals. During the rest of the period
Augusta made the score to 8. May
nard always caused great sport by his
excitable actions, which aided by his
left handed work, and his ankle run
ming, makes him more fun than box
of monkeys. When he was in goal, he
was more sport than ever and he would
often leave the goal to chase the ball
down the hall. That seemed to be a
great fault with Smith and O'Malley,
also, for they left their goals several
times
The only foul of the game was de-
clared on Maynard for striking the ball
while upon his knees. 1t was the first
foul that has been declared in the hall,
this year. A few little byplays of
Murphy though, caused Referee Kelly
to warn him and to keep an eye upon
him during the game. O'Hara, who
was doing good work at blocking, is a
very little shorter than Murphy, and
would run his elbow into O'Hara's face
or head, while the latter was playing
in a legitimate manner. 1t was the
first real dirty playing that has been
done in Augusta, this year, and it did
not last long. O'Hara blocked the man
well, and the dirty work did not gain
anything for Rockland. Other than
this Murphy put up good game.
Houghton and Hadley were in good
form and passed the ball well, as well
as doing good driving. Gay got around
easier and did quicker driving than
common. He has never been off ON
placing the ball, but has been a little
slow about driving. Jason showed up
we'll.
