Lowe|IS Won but AI|-Star Team Will
Endeavor to Square Accounts Tonight.
Golf Cubs Of City and State Are Now
Planning for a Very Promising Season

In what was Judged by good authority
90 be the fastest game played at Infan-
try hall this season the champion Low
ell team defeated the All-Star team hy a
score OF 8 10 6.
IT was n fast game in every respect and
It was thoroughly enjoyed by the 1900
spectators. There was much enthusiasm
and a great deal OF interest I'm the work
OF the Al-Stsf- team. The team to
play a series OF nine games for a purse
OF $1,000. and the games are 10 be played
In every city OF the American League cir
cult.
At Chelsea Friday night the All-star
team won and there was much rivalry be-
tween the teams. The form displayed by
the champions was worth seeing and the
All-Star team played better together
than would be assumed WAS possible.
Wodtke and Pierce were well paired and
Miller and Wood worked hard, but the
defense men apparently lacked the ability
TO get the bali forward to the rushers as
quickly and as cleverly as did the defense
OF the champions
The game was cleanly played though
Hart and Holderness got foul each for
holding and mixing up when both could
have played without resort To foul tao
tics The work of Mallory was superb.
He had many more stops 10 make than
did T1bbetts and he spoiled many drive
by rushing out and blocking the ball or
man. making life burden to Lewis and
Hart. and not hesitatlng TO go up against
Big Fred Jean. And he had good deal
OF success I'm this respect.
The Lowell team had all the best OF
the argument. piling up an abundance OF
goals in the second period. In the FIRST
period the score was two all. but I'm the
second the champions got five TO one for
the Al-Stars. With this lead there was
little doubt OF the result. and though the
All-Stars got three I'm the last period
there was not any danger OF the cham
pions being beaten out
This evening the two teams will play
ct the Same place at $50 and IL will be
the last game OF polo OF the season. In
view OF the defeat OF Saturday night the
All-Star team viii make a desperate ef-
fort TO tie I'm the series and the game
should he more than warm.
The Clinton team. which took the place
Of the matted milk aggregation at Racine,
defeated Anderson Saturday night by
score OF TO o. this being the first game
for the eastern aggregation. Murphy, Nc
Gilvray, O'Hara, Hayes and Mullen play
ed on the Anderson team and the Clinton
team had Mercer, Campbell. Farrell.
Gardiner and eastman in the game. No
scoring was done until the middle Of the
second period and there but 25 sec
onds remaining OF the third period when
the second goal was made. The Anderson
team certainly played good polo.
