h In direct violation OF the spirit OF the
game, at least. The two games won by
the Clinton team with Hayes playing
should be thrown out ana the games
awarded to the teams that were defeated.
For instance. Lawrence played at
line because OF the absence OF Mckay.
McGilvary going TO center. II the prac-
tise OF loaning players Is legal why could
not the Lawrence team have been
strengthened by two or three OF any OF
the remaining four teams that did not
play that night. On Tuesday Providence
played at Chelsea and the Chelsea team
had the regular league substitutes, Dew
lin and Craig I'm the rush line. Lawrence
Played at Lowell with Mckay still alb

place, McGilvray taking McKay's position
~ center
In view OF the standing OF the Law
renee and Chelsea teams Lawrence being
the tail-enders, and Chelsea being below
Providence, IL would have been fitting
under the Clinton Lawrence arrangement
for several OF the Clinton team TO have
helped out the Lawrence tease and n
couple OF the Lowells or Worscsters
could have assisted the Chelsea team.
Chelsea played at Clinton on Wednes-
day night with Miller and Curtis absent.
Devlin and Craig filled In, but the Clin-
ton Lawrence agreement placed Hayes
at half back for the Clinton team and
this brought out the full strength of the
team. The crippled Chelsea team played
against the Clinton Lawrence team and
was defeated. Again on Thursday night
Clinton played at Lawrence and Hayes
played against Clinton and Clinton, not
having an agreement with the other
teams, could not get a first class man
TO take Gardeners place. and played Fin
ney, an amateur. Lawrence won. Last
night Clinton played Hayes for the
ond time this week and Clinton won
against the Lowell team.
For the first month OF the season the
Providence team had all manner OF hard
luck In having players disabled and for
certainly that period the team did not
have the same team twice I'm succession.
Manager Parsons rushed and even Healey
enough, for IL was n condition Of the
sport But had the Providence team
borrowed the pick of the players of the
league. which. IL the Hayes case be al
lowed to stand IL certainly had the right
20 do. the team could have easily kept
mp at the top.
The Chelsea team and the Lawrence
team both had trouble of the .Ime Find.
Miller got back into the game last night
for the first time in two vaeks. ard
Devlin has been taking mis- place Tom
Cotter was without a rushe~ for nearly
four weeks because OF the 1es e~tion cf
Whipple and the injuries to Curtis Cot
ter might have secured rushers from other
teams. but did not.
II IL is TO become a question OF n pick
ed team from all the teams representing
one city one night and another the next
night. that is one thing. II will devolve
Itself into matter OF the teams not
playing combining their efforts 20 defeat
the other teams. Providence could have
sent Bone and McGrath TO help out Law
renee Thursday night and might have
helped out Chelsea by playing Bone last
night In the place of Curtis.
II the game is TO be played by the
teams as they are constituted that is one
thing II the game can be played as the
players themselves want TO play, that is
another. II the game Is to be played
fairly on the merits of the abilities OF the
several teams of the league then all the
games Hayes took part in for any other
club that the Lawrence team. without
the unanimous consent OF all the other
teams. should be thrown out. IL is not
the one team against the other hut the
best players TO be found against another
picked team. Clinton has won two games
at least because OF playing Hayes. one
-of these was won from Chelsea and an
other from Lowell To throw out these

standing of the Chelsea team.
The Clinton-Lawrence plan OF play will
mean the death OF the sport IL permitted
10 continue. The league can make the
game what II likes II Is certainly up TO
the league.
