Hartford Nutmegs at Y. M. R. c. Alleys-State Leaguers
 Out for Revenge.

The Hartford Nutmeg League bowl- ing team will be the attraction at the Republican club alleys this evening when they line up against the local pin spllttcrs. The Capitol City bowlers have been putting up a fast exhibition of late and are now encouched in sec ond position in the league standing,

Winding up in one of tine fastest lin- ishes seen on the local rink in some time the local polo team after appar- ently suffering from insomnia for the first two periods of last nights match succeeded in taking the Pawtucket players into camp to the tune Of 5-i The wind mp of the match was really the most sensational part of the cvc- nIng's performance
 Clustered in back of the homo team s cage the whole Now Haven five were practically attempting to keep "Dicky' Pierce. Pop Cunningham and Long John" Wiley from taking the ball away from Frank Warner who felt that to take the ball out would bc a gross mis- take which might lose the game.
 In the meanwhile George Bone, the local second rush and Cameron the vs- iting halfback were having very heated discussion as to the relative merits of each other. Thus they were when the gong ended the rlotous fcs- tivities. New Haven leaving the floor with second place in the league stand ing in their grasp,
 The first two periods were almost ut terly devoid of excitement the visiting team playing all around Bones men and at the end having the game well in hand by score of 4-2. One feature of the second period however should not 20 without mention. This occurred when Paul Gardner the local halfback taking the ball on pass from Grifith skated almost the entire length of the rink with the Pawtucket players rail- ing along after him and by prettlly executed shot caged one of the neatest goals Of tho evening. It was n long drive from tho side of tho rink and the local player was heartily applauded.
 Warner although a little off in his passing and driving was the main per formance of the evening when f. came to taking rushes taking nine out of 9 possible twelve, the other three going to Bone who had relieved him while Warner fixed his skate, "Dutch" Sehif- fer filling in at second rush.
 Warner started the scoring of the tNfulUB NHbI dDOUL lNO HllUultN dIlFI play he shot one by Ramon; "Dicky" Pierce followed him in eleven minutes and wound up the scoring for the pe- rlod. Thrice in succession the gray ier- sled men rushed the ball Into the home territory and succeeded in shoot ing 1t by "Fido" Sutton Pierce Gun, nngham and Wiley doing the trick. Then Paul Gardner wound the scoring up for the second period by his sensa 'tional drive.
 The third period was a grand rally or | the part oe the m team, ach mar taking the floor Wlth the detormina- tion to win out if possible, Bone started things by foolng the honorable MT | Ramon Griffith had to get into th' swing of affairs and he too fooled hi' friend from Pawtucket It remained fol Frank Warner to wind up the evening $ 1 fun and he sent the Pawtucket quintet to the dressing room smartlng nndel the twang of last period defeat.
