| Dick Furbush will be seen in all his
glory at City hall. tonight. He is par ar.
| ticuiariy anxious to beat Lewiston his
Did team, and maybe Dick isn't playing
a star game for Augusta just now. He is
| surely getting more work out of the home
| team than anyone supposed was in them
At Bath, Saturday night, there was not a
goal made in the first period and only one
| at the end of the second. Referee Con-
molly says it was the fastest polo he ever
saw. Dick and Houghton had each put
| a ball into Baths cage, but luck was
against US and they rolled out. O'Malley

new goal tender. By the way, Uncle Peter
Hackett has been released by Bath after
| Woods fast work was seen, Saturday
night.
Jim Dawson, another new face will be
also seen on the rush line for us. He Will
be remembered as Portland's star rusher.
Jim was in Connecticut last season and
has been playing with East Weymouth
He is in the pink of condition. Lewiston
was after him, week ago. He and Had
ley will relieve each other on the rush
line, tonight
Charlie Turner is still held by New Bri-
tain of the National League, but the local
management is doing its utmost to brint;
him to Augusta. In the meantime Daw-
| son may prove the man we are looking
for and make winner on the team.
With Lewiston is Gay. whom we let go
10 days ago. He. they say, is putting III
| a star game for the Lewiston club. An
othSr new new face ioHda will be John Con
l
| molly is great favorite at Lewiston and
all through Maine. He has just been re-
leased by Meriden of the National League
| and it is expected Will greatly strengther
the Lewiston club.
Lewiston, by the way, is in first posi-
| ton and putting up very snappy and
aggressive game. Something good can bt
looked for. tonight and no lover of the
game in the city should absent himself
Come out and encourage the boys along
