M Big Game o-Night-Hartford Vs.
 New Hayen-The New Haven Boys
 Still Have a. Good Lead-Standing of the Clubs.
 The New Haven team will have as their guests at Quinnipiac rink tonight the Hartford boys. The meeting ought to be a close and interesting one and the large crowd which will certainly be present out to make the game all the more exciting.
 The Hartfords are the only team in the league who have, as yet, been able to lower the colors of the Elm City team in their own rink The outcome of score of 6 goals to 5.
 New Haven has now won seven con- secutive victories and it remains to be seen whether they can call it eight by tonight, while the game ought to be a close one. All things considered, New Haven ought to come out on the top of the heap.
 For scrapping Waterbury holds the record. They were at it again last night, when New Britain were their guests From injuries received at the hands of Knowlton, Jeane of New Brit ain had to retire.
 Spencer of the New Ravens is by far the best and fastest rusher in the league. He invariably won every rush from Waterbury on Tuesday night. He also holds the record for the caging of the quickest goal, viz, that of three seconds.
 Waterbury seems to have a greedy eve on Manager Hilton's men. First it was Spencer they wanted and now, ac- cording to the American, they are after Williams. It is almost safe to say that they will want him. New Haven is more than satisfied with Williams and New Haven suits ''Dumpy'' tolerably well
