Brownies, Without Bone, Badly Defeated
by he Lowell Aggregation at Home.
Williams Basket Ball Team Rubbed It
Into Brown Players 10 Tune Of 81 to |.

without Bone the Brownies played at
Lowell last evening and were defeated
by the champions by a score OF 13 TO 5.
Providence was never in the hunt from
the start and IL was only a question OF
how many goals would be scored. The
strength OF the Lowell team has not in
the least diminished during the season
and by constant play the team Is now In
the best OF condition.
Turner played with Providence in place
OF Bone and Ae- -aid good work. the defense
by Mallory was admirable he making 50
stops. and the Brownies got ~ drives at
Tibbetts, but Mary Ann kept them out
and did good work.
IL II probable that Bone has gone west
20 join the Muncie. Ind. team. He had
an offer of big money for the six weeks
remaining OF the western league season
and he consulted Manager Parsons. Bone
told the manager that he had an oppor-
tunity 10 play ball In the west and he
had a chance TO earn big money. But
he would remain east II he was guaran-
teed a certain amount OF work and other
considera tions.
Because OF the uncertainty of the length
OF the playing season. at least after
March q, It Is assumed that Bones con-
Sitions could not he compiled with and
81 IL probable that he has taken advantage
OF the offer made him in the west.
The champions started the game at
whirlwtnd pace and though Canavan Ian
ded the second goal OF the game, when
the first period closed the score was 10
and I'm the two remaining periods the
champions doomed the score along at
will and there was never a chance for
the Brownies TO have look In. The
