Great Polo Game at the Rink in Which
 the Leaders Get Beat 6 to 3.
 By a score of 6 to the New Ha- yens won last nights polo game in the Chapel street rink. It was an impor- tant contest for both teams. Victory off New Britain meant a firmer grip on first place. For New Haven it meant the downing of her most for- nidable rival for championship honcrs and jump from fourth into third place. It meant that the tide has turn ed in favor of New Haven and the upward climb of the team, begun last night, will not stop till first place is regained.
