The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1903-02-10

In a gamo that was scientifically and
we'll played. and which was not rough I'm
any sense, the Brownies rubbed II into
the Kittredge crew last evening and won
by a score OF TO 3. 1t was decidedly re-
freshing 20 see a game played az II should
be, on the merits OF the players entirely,
rather than by brute strength. and there
was not one OF the patrons who did not
express the opinion the game Witnessed
was much more satisfactory than the ref
circulating. man-eating sort OF game
that some OF the teams have perpetrated
on the patrons.
The Worcester team was minus the
services OF DAILY. a serious handicap, al.
though young Freeman played In his
place and did we'll while Cunningham
was back I'm the game again and dit
some splendid work Despite the absenc
OF roughness the game was fast and !
was quite evenly played. for the goa
tenders had their full share OF stop
which shows that there was somethin
doing all the time. There was but one fol
called and Devlin was the offender An
his ofrense was not the result OF disposi
ton TO be ugly.
The ball rolled with Providence
throughout the game and this was a larg
factor In determining the result. Tn
visiting team scored but once during thu
second period and twice in the third. anc
the sum Of the game was that Providenct
won three times over. The game started
fast and both teams played a passing
game. the Providence team dropping into
this style because II Is Its game and
Worcester following because the absence
OF DAILY.
The first goal was gotten by Cunning
ham. who jugged past Wood and the
second on a clever run through the Wor-
cester backs. Then CanAvan drove one In
from the centre and the period ended.
The fourth goal was made by Pierce who
deceived Mallory into coming out and
then fpped the ball past him into the
cage. Then Cunny got two more. making
an open drive for the cage and by taking
a pass from Bone. and the last one OF the
period was made by Bone who drove IL In
by smashing drive from the side. There
was lively scrimmage Just before Bone
got his goal, Mallory going out 10 meet
an attack and there being mix-up in
which some more than ordinarily speed
work was shown. But the little fellow
kept tho ball out safely.
With a commanding lead Providence
played safe all the time and Worcester
fought desperately, and then the goals
alternated. Bone and Pierce dividing the
honors. The first two goals came hard but
the next two were made In Jig time With
but q brief period remaining Cunningham
bifYed in another and IL was all over.
Both Mallory and Bannon played clev-
erly and there was something doing every
minute for them both TO give attention TO
Dckie Pierce was considerably off in. his
driving and many OF his shots went wild.
The ball was fed up to him well but try
as he would he could not get there,
while McGrath kept young Freeman COW
cred. The good defense OF Devlin and
Wood repeatedly broke up the passing
game of the locals, and the game was
played persistently and with good re-
suits
There was a good deal OF enthusiasm
manifested and there was abundant sat
isfaction In the Brownies gaining a lap
on the next team ahead. The Worcester
team, however. has had a good deal OF
hard luck and is now only four games
ahead OF Providence. The summary:
