Brownies Win and ths Kittredge Krew
Lose Twice TO the Yellow Boys.
Rhode Island Yacht Club Will Probably
Be Repr0. .ented in Trial Races.

Tho Brownies are feeling very COM
Portable today because of victory over
Chelsea last night and the fact that Wor-
cester lost both games played to Clinton.
Tho Lowell team went down before Chel-
q gain all round for the Clinton and
Providence teams.
The Brownies are but seven points be-
hind Worcester now and the probabilities
are good for the clam -diggers to even up
with the Kittredge krew before the week
In out. The Clinton team suffered In the
last game played because OF Mercer again
straining his ankle and he may not be
able To play for several games.
PROVIDENCE 4, CHELSEA 2.
Before a fair-sized crowd OF spectators
the Brownies soundly trounced the Chel-
sea team last night, getting a goodly lead
early In the game and holding that lead
against the best efforts of the chelsea
aggregation. II was a fast, well-played
contest, In which the team play OF the
brownies gave them an advantage that
was undisputed, and this same team
play enabled the team to hold on the
Chelseas when the visiting team threat
ened to be dangerous.
The Chelsea team was not at Its best
because IL had trounced the Lowell team
at Chelsea In the afternoon, but despite
the additional game the visiting team
played a rattling good game and the
spectators were enthusiastic from the
start to the finish The Brownies played
well and unitedly Bone and Cunningham
were fast and clever, Canavan blocked
finely and often got the ball forward.
while McGrath stood of Wodtke in fine
style. Mallory played finely in goal.
though he left his goal more often than
seemed wise to do at times. Yet the little
fellow got away with IL all.
The Chelsea defense was decidedly Wig
orous. Doherty played at centre quite as
much as he played at half back and once
he started to mix UP with McGrath, but
that worthy welcomed Doherty so warm
ly that Doherty kept away the remainder
of the game. silent Bill Curtis and Bone
gave an imitation OF loving each other
and McGrath yanked them apart and In
structed them to be ladies, which advice
was followed Two fouls were called. one
on Doherty for holding Bone and the 9TH
er on McGrath for stopping ball while
seated on the surface.
The first two goals scored by Provi-
dence came in less than three minutes
and Canavan snapped in the first one
from a scrimmage and Cunningham got
the second by a clever drive from the
side. II took upwards OF 10 minutes for
Chelsea to score and Wodtke made a
feint to drive and scooped the sphere be-
hind Mallory before the little goal tend
knew where he was at. Then Cunning
ham got this back by n neat side shot,
the end OF play by Bone and Canavan.
The second period had been half played
when Canavan landed the last goal for
the Brownies and the third period had
well nigh elapsed before Curtis drove In
the last goal for Chelsea. The Chelseas
made desperate effort to score but the
defense OF the Brownies was there and
the game ended with the local team we'll

Police Looking for kidnaper from
New York.
Since last Saturday all trains ar
irving from the east have been search
ed by the police in quest of an al
legged kidnaper, but without success.
Saturday morning a dispatch was
received by Chief Dulin from E. C.
Mather, sheriff of Otsego county, New
York, asking him to be on the look
out for a man named David Harris,
alias David Davidson" who was
headed for Billings. A complete de-
scription of the man was given and
it was charged that he had stolen a
girl Is years of age, whom he was
bringing to this city. Sheriff Mather
wired that the fugitive had bought
tickets at Norwich for Billings and
was due to arrive here Saturday or
Sunday.
While the man may have bought
transportation as described, it is the
opinion of the police that he did SO
for the purpose of throwing his pur-
off the track and that he left
the train at some point to the east.
At all events, he failed to show up
here and further search for him has
been abandoned. The New York
sheriff claimed to have a reouisition
for the man.
