 Game in Portland Thursday Night
 The New Meriden Team Badly
 Beaten By New Haven.
 There were looks of disappointment on the faces of many of the fans last night when the bell called the players on the floor. There were grumbleS heard, too. ill many parts of the build ing. and this bad feeling was caused by the fact that Johnny Russell had failed to put in an appearance, and it was feared that he had jumped the league for good. Before that game started it was all Russell with the crowd. but before the game was half over the fans had selected q new idol i'll the person of young Daly. Russell had played in Portland the night be- fore and on his way down from Maine he stopped in WCburn to see his mother and he was late getting into Spring field. At 0:13 yesterday afternoon he sent q telegram to Manager Parsons stating that his train Was one-ha!f hour late and he would be unable 10 make connections. This telegram was
 
 their i'll feeling They forgot all about Russell before the game was over be- cause of the aggressive and beautiful game that this Daly chap put up. He has never played q better game and he probably made up his mind to show some of the people who have been knocking him that he can play with the best of them if he is pushed 10 it. It was lis last game with the home team and his work last night was of the gilt edge kind. He fought every minute of the time he was on the floor and some of the passes he connected with We're brilliant ones. He was cheered and applauded and certainly the young fellow can carry away With him very pleasing recollections of his farewell appearance in Waterbury. Before the last period was over he also enlivCned the proceedings by getting into q scrimmaGe with Barney D0hor- ty. and each was penaliZcd by Referee Lush to the amount of d S1 fine. It was unintpntional on Daly's part. but DohcrtE thought otherwise. Daily made q crack at the ball. but he gave Barney q crack across the shins with his hockey that could be heard up in Lawrence, where Daily is going. Bar pry stopped playing polo and made dive for Daly instead. Daily went for Dohorty and the two came together with crash. Doherty was surprised that Daly didn't run away from him, and not q blow was struck before the referee ran between inc two. He had scarcely separated them when they came together again ana again they were separated. This set many of tho fans wild and young Daily was chcered to the echo. All night long the two kept after each other and it was very seldom that Daily did not come out on top. But about the game itself.
 In the first period Waterbury scored three times to IIartfordS one. Harry Starkie was not in the goal circle for Hartford. as he was ill at home. In bis place Main was played. and he need not feel ashamed of the game he put up. It would have knocked even an old goal tender silly to keep out all the balls that were hustled his way. Daily made the first goal in less than q min ute of play. Griffin followed him in six minutes time. and then Schiller 1 made the first for Hartford in less than ! a minute. Jean made the last one in | that period in q little over five min uteS. Ii was at this time that tho scrap took place between Daily and Doherty. 1n tho second period Daily again started the ball rolling by cag- 1 ing the first ball in forty seconds. ! Wodtkc did the trick for Hartford in ! twenty-five seconds, and COttcr fol- i lowed in two minutes of play with an- ! other, and then things looked interest 1 m%. Then Griffin and Daly followed with two more in q little over five minutes of play. That closed .hat pc riod. Wodtllp got the first in the third ncriod in six minutes and Griffin fol lowed with one in less than two min | utes. Daily took the next pass in six and Wodtke captured one in few sac- onds. Then Daily hammered in the last two of the game and the victory was ours. The score and summary:
