The Canonicus Rowing club bowling
team defeated the East Providence gro-
the wsrmest games that has been, bowled
here for some time. Both teams had on
their rolling togs and each man had Arm
determination that his team should win.
Consequently the rolling was first class
and at times very close indeed.
The Canonicus contingent pulled out OF
the first string with margin OF 49, They
had 423 pins against 4l0 for the clerks
The next string was even more exciting
than the first had been. The clerks pulled
themselves together and started out to
win.
Both teams bowled fast and straight
through the rolling was close enough 10
make things intensely interesting. Along
towards the last end OF II the clerks pull
ed themselves together for a squirt and
succeeded in capturing the string with
seven pins to the good. They had Az 10
their credit and the Canonicus team had
AIS.
The Canonicus crowd got a good lead In
the last string. but IL was not until the
last end OF II that they were far enough
In the lead TO be sure OF the game. There
were number OF spares made I'm this
string and at one time the gallery. which
was a good sized one, broke out in burst
OF enthusiastic cheering as an exception

The Rowing club representatives were
just 20 ahead after the last ball I'm the
game had gone down the alley, capturing
the second string and the game. The to-
tails were 1860 for the Canonicus contin-
gent and 1894 for the delegation OF clerks
from the north end OF the town.

RESCUED FROM WATER.
Yesterday Maud Thompson. A young
girl was playing on the fee at Pomham
and while so engaged had mishap which
but for the timely action OF Eugene
Toby would have resulted In tragedy.
She was running on the ice when a
small cake became detached from the
rest OF the ice and before she knew II
the girl was in the water. Young Toby
heard her cries for assistance and quickly
procuring long handled eel spear he
held the handle out to the chilled and
sinking girl.
She seized the handle with the clutch
OF desperation and held on until she
could be hauled ashore. She was then
taken TO her home and after changing
her clothing and getting over the chill
caused by her plunge into the Icy water
seemed 10 have taken no harm from
the involuntary bath.
