...practice. P. D. Smith, Corbett and Dunlap, all of whom have been out of practice for some days, were in the line-up. McKay, Rogers, G. G. Browne, Captain Fish and Wigglesworth were not on the field; the first three on account of recitations, Captain Fish was given a lay off, and Wigglesworth is out for three or four days on account of illness...
