terday afternoon only ended In n draw,
Hope had a good chance TO score, how
ever. i'm IN first half. when that team
had the ball on Classical's f1ve-yard line,
and lost il on a tumble. Tile manner in
which Classical then carried the ball away
from it's goal gave proof Of plenty OF
fighting spirit. Classical, however, gained
more ground thar did Hope, but the team
seemed to be lacking at the critical time,
on the offensive.
Both teams put up n fine defensive cpr-
test and time and again plays by either
team were broken UP by fast work In the
line. In this work. Russ of Hope and
Walker and Snow OF Classical put up an
exceptionally fine game and repeatedly
tackled IN opposing player for a loss. On
the offensive, Bates. the Classical captain,
was the particular star.
Russ and Loughran made several good
gains for Hope. aided by good Interior
ence. Although the teams played har1
throughout the halves. and the uncer-
talnty OF the result kept the Gro VI at
fever heat. there were several wrengles
over the distances, and several players
were cautioned against holding and st
tempting to steal the ball.

TIPMAN QUIT

Before a crowded house at Baltimore

decision over Joe Tipnan before tho

h was scheduled 10 be a 15-round
contest.
When Tipmsn vent 20 his corner. after
the eighth round, he declared that he
could fight no longer. claiming that he
had broken his right hand in the previous
round. Many Of those present. however.
were OF a different opinion and thought
that Corbett's Iight-hand smashes TO the
local mans stomach broke Tipman's heart
and that he simply quit.
n contest, while not quite up 10
championship standard, was fast as long
rs IL lasted. Tipman, held his own. in
fact, had a shade tho better OF the bout
for five rounds. but Corbett gradually
wore him down.
In the eighth round Tipman was wob-
bly, In bis legs. and the sound OF the
bell was welcome.
The first round was an even affair.
Corbett rushing, but Tipman's footwork
had the Denver lad guessing. He then
tried hard to land ON Tipman's face. but
wa unable TO reach. Tipman kept jab-
bling his left To Corbett's face. Both
kept up these tactics for Ave rounds.
Tipman continually going to clinches 10
avoid punishment. When Corbett found
that he could not land i'm the face eff
fectively he began pounding Tipman with
terrific right-hand smashes under the
heart and stomach. These blows began
~ tell in the sixth. seventh and eighth
rounds. and were the ones that did the
damage.
Corbett looked fat, and II he meets

dence. II was the first league game for
either team. and tho supporters OF both
were present I'm large numbers at the

the contest was played. A keen rivalry
has existed between the two schools and
after their two defeats of a year ago the
visitors were especially anxious for vic
tory.
The hane team was the heavier. and
at critical times played n steadle game.
Both showed a tendency 10 be- erratic,
and several times there was fumbling.
Offside play was also frequent. and the
officials ~penalized both teams on several
occasions. While Pawtucket played fast
and snappy ball the visitors were slow In
starting their plays. although after once
I'm motion the East Providence lads were
fast on their feet. Both put up a hard

were unmistakable signs that In some "

NASHUA EVENTS

The nrst week OF the ''Oyercoat meet
ing at the Nashua fair grounds track
was closed yesterday with the finishing OF
yesterdays classes and the racing OF two
new trots. Most OF the horses here this
week and "A large number OF others will
compete In the races 10 be held here next
week.
The weather today was the best OF the
meeting, and the track was I'm perfect con-
dition. The two new cbisses were slow
ones, but some good finishes made the
racing interesting. More interest was
taken, however, in the heats or the I'M
finished races.
In yesterdays card tho veteran Ralph
Wick, who has been showing up In bad
form all the season. stepped out at a
lively pace, after losing two heats. and
won his race against Bert s, who was "A
favorite with the talent and went about
even with the son OF Almont Brunswick.
In the slow trot the four-year-old mare,
Adverta. was an easy winner, taking the
race in three straight heats.
The 2:l6 pace, continued from Thurs
days card. was the first race called. Three
heats OF this race were decided Thursday.
Cutler, Jr., winning two. and X-Ray. the
strongest favorite, getting the other.
At the calling OF these horses the owner
OF X-Ray was called 10 the stand and
told that his driver must go out 70 win.
He was given the privilege OF asking the
judges for a new driver. but this he de-
cided not 10 DO and left the race IN
Diapers hands.
X-Ray went out and took the two heats
In fast time, with Cutler. Jr., finishing
third and second and getting second
money.
Forester. the strong favorite OF Thurs
day. fell fiat I'm the unfinished 2:O9 pace,
Of which two heats were raced yesterday.
Red Line, who won the third heat Thurs
day. took the two heats yesterday, each
I'm better hi 2:fi. Aintree made a hard
drive for this race and finished second in
each heat.
The owner OF Forester entered a pro-
test. on the ground that Red Line was
not entered early enough, but this was
overruled by the judges, as the associa-
ton reserves the right TO take entries
without readvertising the race. The race
OF the heat winners was a pretty one,
Red Line and Aintree finishing close.
Bert s. looked like q good horse In the
2:14 trot. but after going out and losing
two heats. Ralph Wick, who had been
acting badly, caught tho gait and won the
next three. Obed made several spurts,
but could not hold his speed without going
into the air.
The 2:24 trot was the least interesting
OF the races. Adverta had things her own
way.
