urday on the Old Fair Ground. II
was a very exciting one from start tC
finish. AS was demonstrated in the
previous game L. c A. is not capable
of putting a team in the field to cops
successfully with P. A. and the fac
was still further proven in this game
However while the game continued
there was good playing all around
but it was evident that P. A. was
much the stronger team, and pos
sessed of greater endurance, for wher
l.. C. A. left the field before the ending
of the final half, m lost of her men were
in so crippled a condition as to make
further playing impossible. Many
and fire. quent were the scraps" as is
customary when representatives Of
these two towns meet on an athletic
field, but be it said for the benefit Of
the players that they conducted them
selves as they should and there seem.
ed to be no other feeling than that Of
friendly rivalry between the two
teams. The conduct of a few in the
crowd who, as usual, INDUCED in a
free for all exchange of compliments
is to be regretted and certainly did
not add to the enjoyment of the
sport.

we'll crippled and played out chose t,
leave the field rather than prolon,
so unequal struggle, the result be
ing inevitable.
Good individual work was in ev
dence on either team, more conspicu
GUS on p. AS. side. Jackson come
out of his injury with all his old tim
vim but not up to his standard q
the lay off left him rather out of cor
dition.
For p. A. so many changes wei
necessary in the line up, two new me
playing in the line, that the teal
work was not equal to that of formt
games. In spite of all the changes
positions, however, each man file
his place like a veteran. Quartz
back Smith, in his first attempt G
signalling the plays showed exeeler
judgment, ferreting out those whiC
were most effective and bunchir
them so as to make their effectivene
apparent.
In the evening W. W. Peck gave I'll
boys an oyster supper at Mrs. Boy
toms popular restaurant. We unde
stand that no speeches were mad
but the boys doubtless feel none I'll
less jubilant over their success.
