See the, game as it. should be played! Features unknown the Coast. Every player working and no talking! Should it be desired, the play will be slowed down, at times, to allow spectators an opportunity of viewing the finer pouts a.- played by these fast and furious spectacular players. The public are asked not to applaud as it might take the players’ minds off the game. The Brownlies arc mere tyros compared -with these champions, who surpass Cooke!
