 That was polo of the polo kind.
 Griffin was as fast as the flying Dutchman'' last night and the watcho word was watch Griffin" all througn the night.
 A few more games like that of last night and the auditorium won't be able to hold the crowds and the at tendance isn't padded either.
 The biggest crowd of the season saw the game last night and they were. up on their feet all through the game, cheering and shouting for their fav o"ites. 7s-
 Fox at goal has a very bad leg but you wouldn't think so to see him kick out the liners. He made some remark able stops last night and in the close quarters he never lost his head for a second.
 Hartford will play in Waterbury to- night and Brass City people are pre- dieting all sorts of happenings for the Capitol City men.-Hartford Times. Pretty good predictions. Don't you think so?
 Tommy Holderness was a little off in some of his passing last night but he more than made up for it by the clever blocking he did and when he drove that last ball home he was for given for everything.
 Daily is making good, very good, and when he sent big Tom to the floor in one of the collisions last night the crowd shouted gleefully. He and Griffin are working well together and improving every day as team. r Fred Jean has won a. warm place in the hearts of the fans and the game he is putting up astonishes even his greatest admirers. He is a whole team i'll himself and the way he took care of Wodtke last night tickled every body.
 The Yellow Peril'' is the name given the Springfield team over in Wa terbury. Somebody in that section of the state must have been in China dur ing an uprising of the boxers and sui fefed a relapse of fright upon seeing the up-river men ill their yellow jer- seys.-Hartford Times.
 They are beginning to admit that Waterbury can play polo some and the New Haven and Hartford fans were given fast and fierce polo before their pet teams won. Wait until We get them on our own surface and We will return the compliment with interest. Waterbury Democrat. Tonight will tell the story.-Hartford Times. And | the story is told.
 | John B. Wiley who has agreed to play i1 Meriden and has accepted ad | vance money from the local team sent the following telegram Wednesday night from Rockland. Me: win come last of week: cannot get money here.' This is pretty near the last of the week. Wiley will probably be here to play against New, Haven to-mor- row night.-Merideu Journal. 1 Barney Doherty. the jumping jack. | had the same springs in his shoes and | was just as clever aS ever but he was 1 mnuled. hauled and blocked until he was wild. He got one hard rap of the | ball that was very funny to the spec l tatdrs if il wasn't so funny to Barney l Jean had the ball behind the Water 1 bury cage and Barney shouted out q warning to his comrades. High ball | high ball" yelled Bainey. And il was a high ball just head high, for it went 1 from Jeans hockey lilai T shot and be l fore he knew what was what it banged | behind, his ear and the white topped | halfback saw stars.
 AS the Democrat does not give the | total chances of the goal tenders. the percentages cannot be computed from | his records. The Waterbury American however. printed set of averages q | day or two before. evidently based on scores up to last Friday night. From these the standing of the goal tends is as follows: Eations. .tl.S52: Fox. S45 Heffernan. .S36: Starlyiefr S24: Cusick .S32.-New Haven Register. beg your pardon MT Register man. Dul the Democrat not only gave the chances, but the averages, and is the the only paper in the state that has
 kept and printed them.
