 It Was an Overtime Contest and Gre ated the Greatest Enthusiasm-Tom- my Holderness Sent Home the Win-g ming Goal-Brilliant Playing by the
 Local Men-Meriden Was Dead Easy for New Haven.
 Waterbury ripped and tore Hartford TO pieces last night and drove the Cap- ltol city team from tie for first posi- ton to second place. It was fighting game from the first tap of Denny La i hey's bell until the last goal had been driven home by Tommy Holdefness. It was the first overtime game in Wa terbury this season and such a nerv- ous, eNcitable audience has not been in attendance during any season. It was | a rough house. game also in many l respects and some of the Hartford players were used none too gently by the defenders of the local goal. Tom l Cotter was not treated any too well by the spectators or some of them, and the big fellow didn't like it for cent. He was hissed and hooted. and then, to cap it all he was sent to the floor a couple of times with thud that must have disarranged some of his in. rerior. This nettled the big chief and he didn't play the whole game through. He let Mayne take his place in the l first period and went on himself in the second. but he didn't stick it out He was coming back again ill the third period. but the crowd got sight of him as he put one of his feet over the rail 1 ing and they let out. such yell that l the big chap pulled back out Of sight and let Mayne take his place again Mayne played very good game, how ever. but he was outplayed and out classed by the clever work Of the Wa terbury boys. The only foul called was one on Griffin. who didn't quite like the way he was being blocked and he started to use d little rough tactics' when the referees whistle stopped him. The Flying Dutchman, | Wodtke, went around the surface like d Whirlwind. but he met man who was able to take care of him in Fred Jean Several times the two came to- gether wI'h q crash and the Dutchman lalWaVS got the worst end Of it. 1l4 then resorted to his baby act of call ling on the referee for help, but Tommy Leahy. was onto hiin and the fQu's were not Forthcoming, In the hrst two periods the Waterburys fairly bonn ibarded Mr Starkie and the HurtfoT'' players were eutplayed at every point. Not q second was lost in idleness by either team and at the end of the sec end period both teams were wen pumped out. .-
