ANOTHER VICTORY.

New Britain Polo Team Sustained a
Crushing Defeat at the Hands of the
New Haven Boys Last Night-NeW
Havens Now Lead by Good Mar
gin.
Nearly 1000 spectators witnessed the
New Britain polo team sustain a crush
ing defeat at the hands of the local
players last night. The strangers came
smarting from their defeat at home the
previous night at the hands Of the Hart
fords and were determined to make up
for it by defeating the New Havens at
home. Both teams played their usual
men. The game opened out very smart
and after some neat play on the part
of the New Britains, Parsons very
cieverly evaded Mallory and scored the
first goal in 81 seconds. This nettled
the home team, who then set in to win.
e. Gavitt shortly after equalized. From
this on the play and game was all in
New Haven's favor and it soon became
apparent that they were going to re-
peat their three previous performances
by adding largely to their goal total.
The first period ended, New Haven 5
goals, New Britain 1. Second period,
New Haven goals, New Britain, 2. and

NOTES OF THE GAME.
New Haven asserted their superiority
K
crowd Of spectators turned out expect
Ing to see a close and we'll contested
game. In this they were disappointed,
for after the scoring of the first goal
by Parsons 1t soon became evident that
only one team was In the game and
that team the New Hayens. The stops
were So against Berry and only q
against Mallory, gives better indica-
tion Of how the game went, than does
the score.
The game was one Of the cleanest and
one of the most scientific that has yet
been played here. There was no i'll
feeling displayed on either side during
the game, and the players left the rink
without sustaining single scratch of
any kind.
New Britains, although defeated, de-
serve great credit for the manner in
which they played from first to last.
Their passing was, as rule, accurate
and well turned, but the New Haven
defense proved too much for them, as
the stops indicate. They took their de-
feat manfully and recognized the fact
that the better team won. New Havens
played a beautiful game, each and ev-
cry man on the team played star polo.
In the grst period e. Gavitt did the
most Of the caging, while Captain
Spencer got his little work in during the
last period. Spencer's caging of the
eighth goal for New Haven was quite
feat and was heartily applauded. Will
1iams was also responsible for two goals
and E. Gavitt and Mallory did much
to win the game. This victory now
given the New Haven team lead OF
three games in the league.
