The New Haven team defeated the
Grays by a score OF to at Infantry
| Hall last evening. For a time during
the first period the contest was of the
satisfactory kind, but during the later
periods there was a great deal OF slash
| ing and driving and little of the finer
points OF the game that the locals have
shown In the previous struggles at In
fantry Hall Individual playing predom-
| mated. especially In the home team, and.
save few flashes OF polo OF the bright
kind. in which McGilvray Curtis ana
| O'Brien took part, IL was every man for
himself.
| The visitors gave pretty exhibition of
| floor work at times, but they, too, were
prone to selhshness in holding on to the
ball. The great feature OF the contest
was the defence work Of Mullen AMI
Saunders The former starred in the goal
circle, making dozens Of stops OF the
hair-raising order. He had the ball right
on his STAFF and IL seemed as IL IL swerv-
ed In its flight To hit his shinpads at
times when he lost sight OF It. He kicked
them out In all directions and from all
angles. Saunders is a newcomer I'm fast
company, but his showing last night
points To a brilliant career. He broke up
a lot OF good plays by the Grays and was
I'm at the death OF nearly every attempt
| by the Grays TO score.
Accidents featured the game. "Wild
Charlie" Farrell kept up his reputation
In starting his seventh time in the game
by twice hitting O'Brien in the neck and
/ nm ha
stick hand and sending him from the
floor nearly disabled. Farrell had little
or no Intent TO hurt O'Brien, bur swung
his stick with great abandon. At the
start of the third period Saunders was
temporarily disabled when the ball, hot
from Curtis stick, struck him In the
wind After n few minutes for repairing
damages he resumed play.
! Tibbitts had load OF hard luck. He
stopped most OF the hard drives of the
Boneyards, but was the victim OF three
or four aggravating little pokes that beat
him. In one point, especially, the visitors
played the better polo-they went after
the man and let the ball go. The home
| team as general thing played too much
for the ball, with the inevitable result
Take naltogether IL was anything but a
| satisfactory game OF polo. although there
were moments when there was lots OF
fine playing crowded into a small space
About 1900 saw the struggle.
Bone opened the Jackpot by scoring
nrst blood short time after the opening
whistle. He corralled the ball near the
| side and jumping out. put the wood to
IL ana sent IL screaming past Tibbtts
Young Mccarthy got the next one on a
| net shot from directly In front of the
cage. Bone rushed down the floor with
tne pellet .on the end OF his stick. and as
OIiara dashed out to block him passed
IL across. and Mccarthy caught IL as IL
swept past and drove IL home
curtis Gagged the only goal OF the period
Tor the Grays about two minutes later
taking pretty pass from O'Brien and
shooting home from a sharp angle. The
first period ended with the score to /
In Bones favor.
McGilvary evened the score after more
than six minutes of playing i'm the sec
ond period. lie intercepted a pass across
from Curtis. and landed the rubber in the
New Haven netting. This woke the
Providence scoring. as Mullen attended to
everything that got up to him for the
| rest of the game. Bone put his team one
To the good after more than ~ minutes OF
! slashing playing. He caught Tibbitts
alone and shot the ball home. 1t rolled
out. but the referee thought IL stayed i'm
long enough and allowed it Mccarthy
got the next one on poke in less than
"a minute.
The third period was productive of the
injury TO O'Brien and the blow that al
most sent Saunders down and out as
well as two needless scores by the New
Havens. Nearly 12 minutes had elapsed
when Bone Gagged the next one after "A
long run up the floor. and Mccarthy got
the last one on a poke, when Tibbitts
wasn't looking.
Pawtucket plays at Infantry hall on
Wednesday night.
