The Brownies warmed the last loNeli
team last evening at Infantry hall In the
only league game that was worth going
long way TO see and the way the
Brownies got away with the big Lowell
team was pleasing to the big crowd of
spectators.
There was something doing all OF the
time and In the end the Lowell team was
done up as soundly as ever team was
defeated In this city. The Lowell team
played "A fast and strenuous game and the
players were as aggressive as one could
wish TO see, but the speed of the Brown
les was evident and IL was speed that got
there.
The disposition OF the Lowell players
was not OF the best and the playing was
not Of the sort that would bring commen-
daton on the part OF the spectators. The
sport was not Of that clean character
which is approved by everybody. Hart.
who has something of n reputation as a
boxer. and is known a handy man with
HIS fists. sought TO mix II up with Nc
Grath. and Lewis and his partner were
ready for a scrap at any time.
In the latter part OF the game McGTath
and Hart were at IL at every opportunity
and at one time both Hart and Lewis
piled into McGrath I'm "A vain effort TO give
Jean a chance to drive for the cage.
Lewis got a strangle hold on McGrath
and the scrap was only ended when the
other players interfered. Big Jean punch

belts were the only two of the visitors
that were not mixing n up.
Lewis also introduced another special

let the dirty work go on because he said
that no foul could be made unless the
man tackled had the ball. Goal Tend Tib-
belts had a few drives started for his
IL N
duck and dodge whenever he saw the ball
headed for his Uranium.
Cunningham, the grand old man OF the
Providence team, was in beautiful form
and the way he shot over the floor was
feature OF the game. Both he and Bone
hardly gave Lewis a lookin on the rushes
made, and Cunningham made some mag
nihcent strokes and drives that gave his
team half Of the goals scored and enough
10 beat Lowell. Bones floor work was
perfect and he handed the ball up 10
Cunningham finely. getting past the Low
ell backs time and again, while Canavsn
drove well enough to land three splendid
shots from the sides.
The speed of the Providence team won
for IL two goals before Lowell got
chance and then Hart landed the ball be-
hind Mallory. Canavan got two goals I'm
succession and Cunningham another and
the score was five TO two at the close OF
the second period Up To the third period
the game had been rough enough to suit
the most ardent admrer OF rough
house game, but when the third period
was opened 1t was sewing school In
comparison with the style OF play pre-
sented by the Lowels.
IT was slash. clinch, punch. strangle.
trip and smash and other fancy Lowell
accomplishments. with the strenuous
Hart as leading villain. with Lewis Civ
ing an admirable exhibition Of Jack the
Hugger." McGrath was willing TO meet
the Lowell gang and he had his hands
full with the two Jean got into the game
and was the heavy villain OF the show
and he sought out one OF the smallest on
the team TO punch.
The crowd was wild with enthusiasm
and indignation and there was not
man I'm the hall who did not want to take
q hand In the proceedings and hand out
something that all believed the Lowell
sllggers deserved. Hart damned In the
rubber In Ave seconds OF play at the
opening Of the third period and the score
was Ave 70 three. Cunningham got this
goal back by splendid drive from the
side. and Hart retained the goal by
shot that went behind Mallory while the
little goal tend was watching scrap be-
tween Lewis and McGrath were strang-
ling each other
Then Providence unlocked another
notch OF speed and in trife more than
three had corralled four goals. Cunning
ham getting two OF these and Bone the
other two. Lowell made a desperate fight
and with the Lowell forwards hanging on
20 McGrath big Jean had many drive
for the Providence goal, but little Mallory
kicked out everything that was coming
his way.
The defense made by Canavan and Nc
Grath was better that any article OF polo
presented by the Providence team and
Bone and Cunningham were conspicuous

Brownies. McGrath is improving with ev-
