Night-Oiher Notes. ....,
Robbie Burns says: "The best laid
schemes of mice and men gang aft
agley." In other words, never be sure
of anything until you get it.
That Hartford bluff on Jennings part
didn't work for a cent, but it was Well
worth trying from a financial point of
view. What a crowd the Jennings
Graves combination would have had If
the Blues had only consented to go to
Hartford Saturday night But three
successive Saturday trips of the Blues
to the capitol We're like using the
New Haven team for a good thing and
Manager Aufort is to be congratulated
ON the firm stand he took in the mat
ter. Manager Aufort told his friend,
Jennings, over the wire, that he did not
propose making the Hartford team q
present of the championship. Quite
right. If Hartford wishes the pennant
let her win it in a fair and square man
ner and all in New Haven will join in
congratulating them on their victory.
But they will have to fight for it every
inch of the way and the Blues will do
the same.
Captain Caravan and his men won
all their games last week and kept
themselves we'll in the lead Their play
all round was of the best description
and they are to be Congratulated on the
result
Soottie Bone played a particularly
brilliant game during the week and cas-
lily outshone his rush friends on the OPP
position side Warner also played
star game in all of the contests. Whip
pie was also quick and sure and did lots
Of useful work. Lations more than up
held his reputation, making stops that
at times fairly took the breath of the
crowd and made his opponents feel that
they were being forced to fight bard
battle. Caravans work as usual was
beyond criticism. Blocking in great
shape, breaking up dangerous plays and
aiding in scoring goals were his part of
the game.
Here's wishing the Blues an equally
successful result this week.
Dickey Pierce did some of his old-time
juggling on Friday night. His play was
a treat to watch and he was repeatedly
cheered.
Fall River at Fall River tonight.
Should the Blues be in form there can
be little doubt Of the result but then
surprises are now in order.
Tuesday nights game at Bowling hall
will be with Meriden. The green jer
eeys will undoubtedly play to win and
the game should be one Of those close
and exciting contests for which the
meeting of the Meriden and New Haven
teams are famed for. A crowded rink
should be on hand to encourage the
boys at this important part of he race,
as there is nothing like encouragement
to help along success.
The final game Friday night will be |
with Hartford. Irrespective of the pen
nant question the visitors have still |
to win their first game from the Blues
on the local surface and will most like |
ly make their last effort hard one. |
From talk that is around every one has
made up their mind to be present and |
it will be necessary to secure seats ear |
Iy in order to prevent the disappoint
ment that many met with in being I'M
able to get seats on the last visit of the |
Capital City aggregation.
