The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1899-01-05
DEFEATED BY MERIDEN.


The reorganized Meriden team put up
game against the Providence polo
team at Meriden last night which
seemed to phase Capt. Canavan and his
aggregation. IF they had not been
mighty lucky they would have been
shut out. The home team pitched i'm
and scored the first two goals and held
the lead from start TO finish After
Meriden made it's start and scored those
two goals the Grays got a quick one.
Hayes hit the ball near the Providence
cage and il struck Farrell and bounded
into the net. Meriden got the only goal
scored in the second period and cap
tured two more in the last period.
Warmers rushing was particularly bril-
liant and he could not be held up on
blocking plays. The Green Boys put
up q game all the time that kept goal
tend Heffernan on the jump and they
were even stronger i'm blocking and
breaking up the triangular team plays
of the Grays than i'm aggressive work.
The Providence team fought hard to cut
down the lead. but found they were up
against a different combination than
the. old one. Summary:
