BROWNS STRONG TEAM.

The showing made by the Brown team
Saturday against Trinity was an excel
lent one AM very pleasing TO coaches
undergraduates and well-wishers OF the
wearers of the brown and white.
There Is no question but what Trinity
has good aggrega ton OF ball tossers
but the easy manner In which the sterling
sons OF Brown disposed OF them would
lead one to regard them as a little better
than the average prep school team and
not in the same class with the usual run
OF college mines. But IT was not so much
their poor playing that resulted I'm so dis
astrous defeat, as IL was the clever
exhibition of the national game, as served
up by Brunonia's representatives, and IL
can be justly said that no more intelli-
gent ball playing. no faster work ON the
bases. no more scientific hitting. or no
more ginger" was ever displayed by
Brown team i'm its initial game of the
season, and thee showing justi1es the
prophecy that at the end OF the 1891
season the Providence college will be- i'm
the immediate vicinity of the top notch.
This year there need be- no bemoaning
the fact that IL is a one man team. as
was said Of last seasons aggregation.
and that when Washburn was not on the
slab the prediction OF defeat would
surely come true, and there will be none
of the weeping and wailng that usually
accompanied the results OF the games

particularly the former. Brown has two
of the best pitchers who ever occupied
the territory In the centre of the diamond
and IL they are not superior 20 the
formidable Washburn. they are at least
his equal.
Lynch has wide curves which combined
with cannon ball-ike speed and beautiful
control will make him an undoubtcd ter

course OF time II he continues the fast
pace be has already set. he will 60 down
into college posterity In the same class

Nobody was in the building Saturday
night. although Charles Hills, an em-

almost hidden under bsndages. Miss LII
Ian hawkins, the victim OF an enemy
who, on Thursday night, threw carbolic
acid I'm her face, talked freely of the af-
fair today when seen by a correspond
ent.
II cannot give you the name OF the
person suspected at present" she said.
II have placed my case i'm the hands of
the police, and have told them OF my be-
lief as TO the guilty person.
II have thought a great deal since this
terrible misfortune, and l am certain in
my own mind that the woman saw fol-
lowing me one day last week, whom 1
recognized as one had seen in Rock
Creek about the time OF the former at
tack on me. is the guilty person"
When urged to give her reason for this
belief Miss Hawkins made a statement
which reveals the probable motive. She
said:
six months ago Z was obliged to be a
witness in divorce case. i was an Inn
portant witness. Ny testimony was very
damaging TO the woman against whom
the proceedings were brought. That wom-
an was the same one who followed me.
This woman has lived in Ashtabula."
The woman i'm the case was absent from
this city on Dec. 8, when Miss Hawkins
was dragged from her bed al Rock Greek
