SPORTING MATTERS.

The 8pringnelds Increase Their Lead
 -They Give . splendid Exhibition of
 Polo - The Home Team Wakes Up
 Too Late.
 The New Ravens had hard luck last night. They csged the ball twice but 1t didn't stay in. Besides, Lations stopped nearly every thing. His playing was phenomenal. He never played in a like manner when mem- ber of the New Haven team, and no wonder there was just reason for releasing him.
 It was wonderful game that the Spring. fields put up. They deserved to win. Their lead is now increased three games. The New Ravens woke up too late. It was then that Hill helped to rush, and he paid of Lations and CanAvan for their roughness to Connors and Neweomb. Both men met their match in Hill. At one of the most critical points in the game Hills skate broke and he had to leave tho floor.
 Phelan showed an improvement last night. His blocking was much better that usual, and several times he was loudly spplauded. Connors and Nsweomb bombarded Lations, but nothing got past him until the second half. Near the end the excitement became intense. The features of the game were two 8oois mduo Dy tno OPIinkooAoss III "nAon Roberts and McPeck did some fine passing, the goals being made in 15 and IS seconds respectively; and the three goals by the New Ravens.

Connors took the tenth rush, drove the ball behind SpringHelds cage, poked it out to Newcomb and Hill, and in the equabble Newcomb caged the ball while Hill went down on top of Lations, as the latter was trying to hit them with his hockey.

A writer in the New York Star speaks of Q trick worked by Princeton in the recent foot- ball game which was not noticed by other newspaper writers. Captain Gill would start with tho ball and would not try to dodge the Princetons, but would attempt to run into them, thinking to knock them down. The Princeton men, instead of standing up and being knocked down, would drop on all fours, and he (GilD would take header. Before he could get up there would be four or five Princeton men on top of him. The trick was played a dozen times.
