HUI Back Perry, tne man ManSIelu
papers are going crazy over played q
great game last night for the Runts.
The manner in which he smothered
the Ashland rushers was good to be-
hold. AS a result Fletcher and Fuh-
|ner didn't. shine as usual.
Captain Clutch" was all smiles last
night and in his old position played
a great game. Well why shouldn't
he smile. The lady sitting directly
opposite the center and watching and
lapplauding every movement OF the
|captain was Mrs. I<enworthy, who
|arrived in the city yesterday.
Bobby" Bruck played great game
last night. The entire team showed
great form and the fans say we at
last have a winning combination.
Some of the Interstate papers
are playing up the fact that Shaw
of the Marion team is playing
star game in the Ohio league and
once before played in the Inter-
state; that "has been' in their
league is star In the baby league.
Well. it would seem that there
was nothing burning from the way
in which Williams, Hickey, and
Long have been going since they
came over from the interstate.
There are sevral men in the Ohio
lague which would be made well
come in the "greatest polo league
in the world: Not that those
players are not as good as any in
the league. They are all playing
great polo but there are some men
who have never seen tine Interstate
that are just as good .--Echange.
There is rumor that the Ash
land team will be transferred to
some live town. The rumor is not
official but it is the opinion of
all over the circuit that such
move would be wise one. The
drawing powers in Ashland are
great enough for big crowds but
instead the turnouts have been
mighty slender. Ashland is the
poorest town in the league and in
two games, New Years day failed
to bring out as many people as
Mansfield did at the afternoon game
on Christmas. Mansfield Shield.
An unwritten law among polo
players that man who uses his
stick on another player shall be
banished from the game may be
exercised in the case of Perry,
an Ohio State league center. Tie
took a wallop at Fred Long, with
his stick and brought the blood
Worse still, Perry is said to have
hit Long when he was down.

Ferd Drumm, the old base ball
manager, who is vice president of
the Ohio State league, can give
some of them cards and spades on
his new job. Trades between
strong and weak teams of his
league are made almost every week
Can you guess why?
Referee lee imposed the first
fine on "Ikeyn Houghton of the
Mansfield team. This fellow is CIV
ing the referees more trouble than
any player In the league, A fine
or two may take little swelling
out of his upper story Lancaster
Eagle. Right you are. "Ikeyn is
a great player but not quite the
whole cheese.
The Mansfield fans who had plan
ned TO give Perry, the Coshocton
hail back who made such murder
Gus assault upon Freddie Long at
Coshocton on Thursday evening
either a trimming or good scare
will be somewhat disappointed to
learn that he will not be here with
Coshocton tomorrow evening. e
has been traded to Marion for
Sipe, the former Ashland half
back. Just what Bobby Quinn is
gaining by securing this player re-
mains to be seen Mansfield News.
While he has team in the In
ter-state league, Frank Wilson was
alawys noted for having a team
which played well together and
which stood good chance OF win
ming honors. He has gathered a
bunch together right now for Ian
