NOTES OLE THE GAME


Waterbury was outclassed by the
Blues in last nights contest. They
played hard game, but their team
work was not what it ough to have
been. Their passing was at times good
btu the driving with the exception of
Roberts was very cratic. Roberts was
wen watched by Whiting and Leydon,
who seldom gave him chance to
drive. But for the brilliant work of
John Smith at goal their drubbing
would have been very severe. Smith
is certainly star in front of the cage
and will no doubt save the Tigers many
a defeat during the season. The Wis
itors played an unusually clean game
and deserved better luck.
The work of the Blues was well nigh
perfection. Their well timed passing
completely nonplussed the Tigers and
kept them guessing from start to finish.
Bone and Whipple played well together.
Bone was quick and accurate in his
driving and kept John Smith guessing
what was coming all the time. Whip
pie has improved very much since last
season. He picked up Bones passes
much quicker and his driving for goal
was also more accurate. Legion play
ed his usual all round game, using
good judgment in passing and at
times doing some brilliant blocking. He
had one Of his old time runs down the
floor, firm which he scored clever
goal. Hobe Whiting was cool and col
1ected as ever and but for the one mis-
take he made when he gave the ball to
Roberts In front of the cage he would
have had peerless game to his credit.
But then mistakes will happen, and the
crowd looked at it in this light. La
lions was well backed up and had not
much to do. What he did do, however,
was none the less brilliant than
Smiths. Doherty made his first ap-
pearance as referee He was timorous
and made several plumbers, which the
Waterbury team will be loath to for
give him for. His starting was not
satisfactory to either team, but doubt
less he will Improve in this respect af-
ter he has taken part in several games.
The patrons of the game should be
thankful TO Manager William Aufort
for securing such q team to represent
this city, and the victory last night
very much due to his efforts in having
the men play polo as it should be
played. He will insist that the play
ers keep in their present form and play
nothing but fast polo.
