PORTLAND PLAYED WE'LL.
Won a Fine Game From Bath Last
Night.
BOTH TEAMS WERE in THE con.
TEST ALL THE TIME.

WhippIe's Work was Excellent While the
Others Were BEYOND Reproach-Bur-
CESS in Baths Goal was Magnificent.
Portland got another one last light.
1t came easy because Bath is not as
strong without J. Mooney as with him,
and because Portland played fine game.
In many respects the game was as we'll
played on both sides as any game which
has been seen here this year. 1t was inter-
esting to witness and the crowd of eight
hundred people came away we'll pleased
with what they saw. Another thing
about the contest was worthy OF, note.
Mr.. Snowman officiated as referee again.
He had his eyes on the play about all the
time and called two fouls, both of them
on Mckay Of Portland. In both cases
Mr.. Snowman was right and the fouls
were deserved. Bath, being sort OF an
under dog in the fight. did not get the
fouls that they deserved In some cases
but Mr. Snowman showed disposition
to do what was right and to see that the
rules of the game were observed.
In the absence of Curtis, who is laid off
with bad eye, Whipple and Lincoln
played as rushers for Portland. Whipple
had everything his own way last night
andTsmashed them into the cage any sold
way, back handed, on the fly and in every
other manner. In fact Whipple played
better as rush last night than he has
played at any time since he has been in
Portland, and that is saying good deal.
Lincoln had hard luck, and though he
followed the ball we'll and went into every
play with a vim and dash which speaks
well for his intentions and his sand, yet
he couldn' t seem to make any of his shots
for goal tell, though he helped Whipple
and Mckay out many times.
Portland played the right sort of q
game last night after they got the lead.
On the defensive they were first class and
Mckay and Turnbuil were, of course,
in the contest from the very start By
the way, if Mckay stays with us long
enough to getsinto the right condition he
will soon outplay any man in this league
in his position. He is all right and has
cool head. Turnbull, it goes without say
ing, wasn't out of sight for minute.
For good, strong, enthusiastic player,
who has cool head, dash and quick
ness which pulls the home team out of all
manner of hard places, and who is in the
game every minute from the start to the
finish, give lis John Turnbull. He is al
ways the same, never plays any better nor
any worse. and for this reason he is not
often mentioned in the accounts of the
game for the very reason that he is always
In the right place at the right time and
no one is surprised because he is where
he is needed.
9Bath was hopelessly defeated from the
very start j. Mooney wasisadly missed.
L. Jason played in his place, but he did
not fill it. Had not Burgess Of the Bath
team played as fine game in his position
as ever was seen here there is no telling
what the score might have been. Port
land got three goals in the first period
and then began to play carefully. The
two teams broke even in the second period
each winning two goals. In the last
period both teams got two more apiece,
and though Bath played plucky up hill
game, they could do no more than this.
1t was nice game to watch, a creditable
one to win and not q bad one to lose. If
this pace is kept up Portland will be in
the right place before long.
