to the end of the week will bear in
some of the stars, whose brightness

SATURDAY NIGHT GAMES.

There was but a small crowd pres

night, but those who did 20 down
had plenty OF fun. The preliminary
game saw the skate boys of the rink
playing the game just like old
timers. II was hard TO tell who won,
but one side did, however. although
some of the little chaps said the
timer was given a package of cigar
cites to help out the winners. In
the big game Higgins and Hart
showed how they used to play the
game together. They were the rush
ers on the All Brooklyn team and
the latter won. Davy CusicE says he
could tell how the Brooklyns won IL
he wanted to, but he has 100 much
