There were about 700 in the rink Sat
urday evening to witness the polo
game between the Wallingfords and
Waterburys. The game was late in
starting on account of the visit of u.
S. Deputy Farrell of Hartford, who
was here in the interest of an inven-
tor who claims patent on the style
of cages used and wants $500 royalty
on the same. A bond of $1,000 was de-
manded before the game could go on.
The bond was furnished by e. c. Gard
ner, Samuel Hodgkinson and M. j.
Redmond which satisfied the govern
ment official, and the game was allow
ed to start. and it proved very
holly contested and exciting one.
Maynard, at center of the home team
went wild This ended the scoring in
the first inning; in the second period
Tierney and Dawson scored for Wal
lingford and Griffin scored one for Wa
terbury In the third period Griffin
and Conley Gagged the ball for the WISH
tors and the inning and game ended
with the score 8 to 8. The excitement
was intense when the overtime play
began. Two fouls had been called on
Waterbury and one more would take
off goal and give Wallingford the
game. There were several rank ones
made but the referee, Woods, a Wa
terbury man, did not or would not see
them until five minutes time had ex-
pired when near the Wallingfords
goal there was scramble and Curley
claimed that Griffin had fouled him
and referee blew his whistle for the
foul and then refused to call 1t. There
was great excitement for several min
utes and quite number of the spec
tators rushed out on the floor, sup
posing the game was over. The ref
cree finally called the players and or
dered the play to go on. Rather than
have to forfeit the game Manager
Heineman sent the team on the floor,
and after couple of minutes play
Griffin Gagged the ball and the game
went to Waterbury by a score of to
8. The game will be protested. The
refereeing of Woods was the worst
ever seen on the floor, and all through
the game the home team got roasted
by his decisions. The crowd was on
to him and it was question as to
whether he would get out of the rink
without being mobbed. The local team
had all it could do to play the Water
bury team without having to play the
referee also. 1t is safe to say that
Woods will not referee another game
in Wallingford. The score was as fol-
lows:
