GRAYS WIN AGAIN.
Defeat the Rough Riders in an Un-
interesting Contest.
Hartford Takes Z Game From Springfield.
The Club Standing.

The Providence quintet d0wned the
Rough Riders last night In Infantry
hall i'm a slow game. The playing or
both teams was "a little better in the
last period than in the earlier ones. but
taking into consideration the tact that
the Waterburys have been playing fast
polo the last week and the Providence
team has also been doing good work.
there seemed TO be no excuse FOR the
poor exhibition that was given before
the home patrons last evening.
In the first period neither side was
able TO score, although quite a number
OF stops were placed 10 the goal tend
ers' credit.
In the second period Providence cap
tured three goals. AL OF these were
made by Lincoln on passes from Cum
ningham and Conway The team work
of the Grays was better ia this period
than in the first.
Waterbury succeeded In breaking the
fee in the last period on nard work by
Menard and Roberts. both rushers
making one goal apiece on drives. Cum
ningham executed a very clever play In
this period which resulted in one more
goal for the Grays.
Last nights game was the fifth the
Rough Riders and the Grays had play
cd this season and the Providence team
has won three Of them.
Warren l.. Turner ofthis city gave an
organ recital before the game and be-
tween the periods. This music helped
To brighten up the evening a good deal.

WORK SUSPENDED.
shut Down at the bicycle Factory At
south Portland.

The John p. Lovells bicycle factory at
South Portland notified Its employees on
Friday evening that the factory would be
shut down temporarily. The employees
were paid Saturday in full and while 1t
Is not known by the officials Of the COM
pany here how soon work will be resumed,
1t is thought that the suspension Is at the
most only o matter OF few weeks.
1t is understc cd that the cause Of this
shut down at the bicycle factory was the
financial difficulties Of the Globe National
bank Of Boston, where the John p.
Lowell company made their deposits
The firm Is not certain just how 1t Is
coming out of this situation aud until
they can obtain settlement with the
bank or see their way clear, the work at
the factory here will not be renewed. The
John =. Lowell Arms company Is very
strong financially and there 10 not the
least doubt about the work at the factory
being resumed IN Q short time. Every
day that the factory is shut down means
q less to the company as 1t will put them
back Just SO far when the bicycle season
opens. They are taking no chances
however and temporarily the employees OF
