"GuPTIL's BABIES met the Association
team of Burlington Friday evening at the
Golden Fleece in the second Of the series oi
polo contests for the present season, and theil
infantine efforts made them the victors by
three straight goals. The Burlington team
came here expecting complete walk-over
and more disappointed lot of fellows never
left Montpelier on the 800 o'clock A. NJ. trair
north. The friends of both teams take
great deal of interest in the games between
them, and there was an unusual number
present to witness the game. Great enthu
siasm was manifested from the first, and the
applause which greeted the securing o
the first goal by the home team was tre
mendous. 1t increased when the seconC
goal was taken, and when the third and tht
game were won by the Montpelier lads i
seemed as though the roof must rise, 81
handkerchiefs and screamed with deligh
and men and boys stood upon chairs ant
shouted themselves hoarse. Proud Burlng
ton ,ohitetcashed by the hamlet " withou
chance for disputed Such exultatiol
seemed wholly justifiable. The game wa
by far the most interesting ever played here
The Burlingtons played good game, bu
were inferior to their opponents at nearl,
every point. Chase, captain and first rush
Standish, coverpoint, and Marcott, goal, o
the home team played wonderful gam
and were well backed by Felt, Jackson ant
Pratt, while the good work of the visitor
was limited to two or three men. Laduke
second rush, was everywhere, but he foun'
Chase there, too, and received poor supper
from others of his team. Waters playet
well and kept Marcott and Jackson busy a
times. Chase took every rush and Standis
made every goal, sending the ball into tn
cage with tremendous force whenever tn
opportunity to do so was given him. MAJ
colts goal-tending was superior to any eve
seen here and called forth frequent applause
After the second goal the visitors grey
anxious and played for all they were worth
making the goal much the longest of tn
game, but their efforts were fruitless an
Standish Gagged the ball in eighteen minutes
The other goals were made in seven mir
utes and one minute and a half respectively
K. A. Lowe was the referee and served wit
equal acceptance to both teams. The gam
gave no opportunity for doubt in making dc
cisions, but had it done so we think it woul
have been an occasion for regret that til
Boston referee who served in the first gam
had not been engaged for the second, as wa
expected by majority of those present l
case of doubtful decision in favor
once accused of partiality by the Burlinl
tons, who, it would seem, had right to e,
pect the same man who refereed the frs
game so satisfactorily.
