The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-11-21

There was some cheering I'm Infantry
hall last night, when the Pawtuclxet
Tigers wound up their game with Proyf-
dence by 20 2 victory, the first con-
test which the visiting team has landed
In the National Polo league race. The
defeat OF McGilvary's band was In the
nature OF a surprise for the home club
rooters. as Tuesday night In the game
at Waterbury they won by an to 4 score,
and 1t was thought that ON their return
to the home rink they would decisively
trim Pawtucket. O'Brfens injured hand,
which kept him out OF the Waterbury
game, was thought 10 have improved
enough to allow him 10 play last night,
but he was greatly handicapped by II.
Pawtucket showed great Improvement
and played the best game the team has
yet shown. 1t was to be expected that the
encounter with New Britain, the dashing
league leaders, would edge them up, and
last nights game proved the truth OF this.
While Pierce played at centre he did
a lot OF skating at speed and a good
share or work expected OF a second rush.
Dick played as though well rounded into
condition, and the same was true OF
Cunningham, whose work was right up
10 the form which made him so popular
when polo fiourtshed here before "Izzy"
Whipple didn't fan at the ball so many
times as in his previous games. in fact,
and well judged.
The contest was by all odds the finest
yet seen In the local rink, the team work
OF both sides being in evidence all the
way In passing the home team ex-
celled. Curtis and McGilvray did lot
OF pretty work and carried II up to
Cameron repeatedly. But the Pawtucket
halfback was right there all the time and
put up the best game he has shown this
season. There was not a slow moment
from start to finish. About 100 saw the
game
Whipple broke the spell shortly after
the start OF the second period by swiping
the pellet at close quarters and goaling II
on sharp angle from the side whip"
also had hand in the second score. Cur
tbs got the rush and shot the ball well
up toward the visitors cage. Cameron
sent II back and Whipple caught II just
behind the Providence cage. He passed
1t out to Cunningham and by a quick
swing "Cunny" landed IL I'm the home net
ting. The third goal was a corker, and
IL was left To the halfback to make the
killing. Cameron rushed the ball up the
floor on beautiful play and goaled from
directly in front.
Things began TO look desperate for the
Grays and they went at il harder than
ever. McGilvray took the marble from
behind his own goal and by a spectacular
run the whole length of the floor. in
which he lodged in and out, passing the
entire Pawtucket team, and with the
cage wide open, sent II home for count.
The next one for the Grays was the
product of a carom off Cameron. Curtis
shot for goal from near the timers stand.
and on the way IL hit the Pawtucket half
back and shot past Heffernan.
Hard luck marked the next period for
the Grays. Curtis goaled the ball on a
fine shot from the side, but the little
red ball circled around inside the cage
and bobbed out from the other side Then
Cunningham drove for the Providence
cage and as Tibbets tried to turn II
away he hooked II into his own cage
with his stick. Pierce made the last
score of the game on a. fast rush UP
the floor and a poke from the edge OF
the circle. The summary:
