YOU we're in a land. land filled with trees
on which balls grew made Of gold, And
skating Kinks. Oh. so beautiful, with al
their radiances galore Boys, you have
been awakened from this dream, ana II

best and the best will be yours. II no
women went TO the polo games. what
would happen? Why, consequently you
would put up one of the toughest games
that has ever been played. When you go
on your visiting tours you come home
victorious. Besides II is known that you
can deliver the goods. for II has been
done. and had the time only been a little
longer on Saturday evening. It certainly
was a shame that the game was delayed
by accidents. for a goal or two could have
easily been made in the time lost
once more the rink was the scene Of a
fast and exciting game Of roller poo on
Saturday night. when the LenoN won out
from the Springs with much difficulty
the score being to 3. The fans and en-
thuslasts were out in forces, and the whole
bunch Of them were blantant, too. The
game was full of bamboozeling work. with
bright Eyes" Creamer Got get en-
stevens and Honey Bunch" Coward. as
role leaders. The game was more or less
dramatic. The scenes taken from some
farm in New Castle the stage effects be-

Dreamer shot "A goal In the FIRST half, but
it rolled out again. The LenoN scored two
goals in the first half, one by +. Stevens
in two minutes and twenty-five seconds,
and one by mitch" HIN in four minutes
and nine seconds. As the first half was
nearing an end Fred stevens shot a goal,

when striking the ball In compliance with
the rules. It states: That II player

The second half Of the game was played
much faster and the PLAYERS seemed TO
have more energy IN them. Three goals
were made on each side. Hill making one
in four minutes and forty-three seconds,
and two by w. stevens in three forty
seven and one minute and nineteen sec
onds. The last one made by Stevens was
a pretty one. He carried the ball up to the
Springs cage. and tried TO put II In, but he
missed it. and on missing it he made two
successive revolves, and put II in back

All records for goal shooting was broken
during this game when edward made a
goal in two seconds. The whistle had NO
sooner blown. when Coward still in the

cage. Creamer made one in twenty-thre'
seconds and Clowafd one IN one minute
and thirty seconds. Seiman and McElwe,
played a fine game at goal. as did a.st
Goodwin. The work OF the Springs boys Is
steadily increasing in speed and theil
work of Saturday showed great improve
ment but It wants to improve much more
before the championship series begins
