AN EXCITING POLO GAME.
W4TERB URY TIGERS SHUT OUT--
 LOST TOUR GOALS.

Game Was of the Hair-raising Order
 Fouls Were Numerous-Dohertyn and
 Bone Ordered or the Floor-Lations
 Played a Battling Game-score 8 to o.
 The Waterbury polo team, strength ened by Doherty of the old New Britain team and led by General Doe in full fighting uniform appeared at Bowling hall last night to settle conclusions with Captain Canavan and his quintette of scientific poloists. The striped jerseys were still flushed with their gallant victory over the greys at Providence the previous evening and sought for greater power to conquer. There was no mistaking the air of pride and satis- faction that beamed on the face of ev- cry wearer of the stripes as they stepped on the floor. It was an air of deter imitation that seemed to say rCome; we are ready to fight and to db if neces- sary for the cause which we have at heart" The Blues were without the services of Hobe Whiting, who was in jured in last Thursdays game, but his place was ably filled by Whipple. Cap- tain Canavan and his men received quite an ovation when they made their appearance
 Referee Lush adjusted the nets, ex- amined the skates, blew his whistle and the fight was on. Both teams started +l,a J ,1i 1ia iy,1o ho n seemed to travel over the floor with a speed that has been unusual for the opening period of game, while the leather bounded and cannonaded with a rapidity that kept players and goal tenders on the alert as to it's Where- abouts. The speed was kept up from first to last, neither team at any time slackening speed or losing an opportun- ity to try for goal. It soon became evil dent that the Waterbury team were going to depend on slam bang work to win rather than science, and from the time the New Havens scored the second goal of the game this kind of play was kept up by the visitors. The Blues on the other hand depended on their pass ing game to carry them out The game was conspicuous for the great number of fouls made, Waterbury losing all the goals they made owing to the deliberate fouls made by their men. General Doe himself made three and lost one goal, Doherty got his way into the goal circle to prevent the Blues from scoring and had two fouls in goal called on him. Other too plain fouls were called on him and Menard by deliberately hold a,,c e,,ff hoI two and Whipple one. In spite of the fouls the game was good one and every one of the 1,200 people present en- joyed it. The many fouls committed does not indicate that the game was a rough one. It was entirely free from accidents and but for the altercations that occurred between Bone and Do herty would have been voted all right. The big halfback was the aggressor and a sSet-to in the last period resulted in Esuh sending both men off the floor. The Blues had now to work their way minus man and even then they were not found wanting and gave theETigers all they could do to keep up with them. Whipple filled Writings place to per- lection and played a splendid game. Warmers play was also brilliant and Bone was in perfect form. Canavan did some clever work and Lations put up a game that was perfection. The Wa terbury team as whole put up a good game. The summary:
