Two Hard Games Wednesday
and Will Tackle Lewiston To-
night
CLINToN'S DOUBLE WIN
AGENERAL SURPRISE
Members of the Worcester Team
in Poor Physical Condition and
in Need of Restraining
Against Expectorating on the
Floor of Mechanics Hall

The Worcester polo team had a day
off yesterday, after its two games with
Clinton Christmas Day, as the boys
are to line up against a speedy lot
tonight in Mechanics Hall, when they
face the Lewis quintet. The Maine
team is one of the liveliest on the sur
face, much faster than the Clinton
aggregation, and the crowd will see
fast contest.
The two defeats of Worcester by
Clinton Wednesday were a big sur
prise to every player in the league,
because it is generally conceded that
Worcester is a faster team than the
country boys. They caught the Wor-
cesters when they were en- route to
the hospital, Bartlett being laid up
with a bad leg, Devlin nearly sick
enough to be in bed and Houghton
considerably under the weather. The
men did a whole lot of resting yester-
day and they expect to be in shape for
good work tonight. They will need
to be at their best to win from Lew
iston, because the Main team is looked
on as a fast bunch that makes it's
opponents play polo all the time to
win
1oHlSHl 5 game Will DtSlH dt o.ou
and the City Band will play before
and during the game.
The management of the polo team
wants the patrons of the game at
Mechanics Hall to distinctly under
stand that there must be no expecto-
rating on the floor For the benefit
of those who are inclined to this, the
city ordinance is called to their at
tention. 1t provides for a fine of 500
for each offense, and if any offender
is caught at Mechanics Hall he will
be turned over to the police
The management had hard work to
secure the hall for the games and
the Mechanics Association will stand
for no expectorating on the floor. For
tunately, there We're very few men
in the hall Wednesday night who in
dulged in the practice, but that few
is warned against any repetition.
