LACROSSE SEASON
WILL END TODAY
Duluth VIII Put Fast Team
in the Field Against
Saints :

Duluth and ST. Paul will line up this
afternoon at Lexington park for what
win probably be the last lacrosse game of
the season. The Duluth manager promises
some surprises for those who think the
Saints viii have the easy time they had
in last years encounter A glance at the
lineup which is given below shows that
but four of last years organization are
with the boys from the Zenith City this
trip. The rest of the team consists
largely of men who have been heard from
last summer on strong teams from West
ern Ontario and the Michigan peninsula.
The COOL comfortable days of Septem-
Der are just suited for fast lacrosse play
ing, as the men evince more ginger and
are not as quickly tired out as under
the burning rays of a July sun. The
weather is also ideal for the spectator,
being neither too warm nor too cold. If
the temperature this afternoon is any.
where near like that of yesterday it will
not be necessary to go to the game
equipped with an overcoat.
Hard Game Expected
The impression in the minds Of some
that the game will be one-sided and that
the Duluth boys will be hopelessly out
claSsed may be dissipated after Duluth's
imported aggregation gets to work. Some
of the men on their lineup are known
by reputation to the local management,
whom have figured in fast Eastern COM
pany. Time was and not SO long ago
either, when Varsity oval at Toronto rung
with cheers for Hunters brilliant work.
In 1908 at coverpoint for Toronto varsity
he helped win the collegiate champion
ship of Canada. Among the hardest OPP
ponents of the varsity in that year was
Ottawa college, of which Gene McDon-
aid was a prominent member. Both
these men are wise to all the tricks of
the game and will no doubt put up a
stubborn defense.
McMullen at center is a fielder Of no
mean ability. having played with the
Shamrocks. of Winnipeg during the early
part of the season. Foreman, who plays
next to him on the home field, is an ex-
pert stick handler, and if the two have
quainted with each others style of play
they should make a strong combination.
Grimes. who played with the Saints
two years ago. is well known in st. Paul.
and in those days anyway played good
fielding game. Jim Grant. who plays
teams in the Michigan peninsula, and
while no longer a boy is a hard checker
and a sure shot. Little is known of the
others. but it is shrewdly suspected that
work for the "unknowns.'' The Saints
have not forgotten their experience with
the SooS, when after beating them in the
Saturday game two substitutes" who
had never been heard of before lined up
on Sunday and the Saints got the short
end of a to l score.
Worked in Ringers
1t was not known until month later
that the assumed names of the two Sub
stitutes" covered two of the fastest men
on Montreal championship team. The
Saints will present the regular team that
has made such good record for itself
this summer. A number of the boys have
fallen in love with the new game "rico-
~ehet." and have kept themselves in trim
working at it under the electric light at
the downtown park for the last week. The
game Will be called at $3.50. The teams
and officials follow:
