AMATEUR HOCKEY.

lhterscnolaStic HOCKEY league yesterday
afternoon a game was played on the lake
at Roger Williams park between the
teams from Manual and Classical high
schools. During the two 2o-minute halves
neither team scored though numerous
shots were made at either goal.
The game was very nast from begin
ming TO end and at times became rather
rough. There was noticeable lack OF
team work on roth sides. The passing
was also very poor.
During the latter part OF the rrst half
snow began to fall. and as It gather quick

postpone the game. but the Manual play

A stitch In the Side.

4 stitch in the side" is the popular
and expressive term for sharp stab
felt in the side, an acute spasll, pro
ducinS pain, like the thrust of I needle
which is felt especially in the inter
costal muscles. Probably its simplest
form is due to muscular cramp con
ncctcd with respiration and frequently
brought on by violent exercise after
full meal, in which there is a greater
accumulation of carbonc acid than can
be readily asSimilated or carried Or.
Such slight stitch is often removed by
STOPPING; hence the old time popular
remedy was to make the sign of the
cross upon the foot.
Such q stitch is also associated with
pleurisy, and then it Is caused by a
stretching Of the not uncommon ad-
hesions between two pleuritic surfaces.
At other times the source is neuralgia.
In any case to persist in muscular ex-
crtion when the stitch is severe is to
take great risk.
