 : Joe Bottom1ey is playing first rush on the Lawrence team and in Tlesss days game with Brockton made threes sofethe goals. 4 E. a
 Parsonss shaved last night fhat hef has not. yet rEtired from. tie field, and he rushed and drove in old time fornT..t Had he been given sufficient time to get his team into practice he would have made New Haven remember the first meetingof the two teams.
 Tommy Holderness is the same Tommy of old. Always around just when the rushers in the other side don't want him to be. .s. Tommy will be a fixture this season and his work, las night indicates that he still can play polo with any of the halfbacks. <. Daily looks like q likely chap and ',perhaSs whens.he learnssit sithe style of play that Is used in this league he will prove good man. He was nervous last night, but his record in the Mas Sachusetts league stamps him as good man. It is too early yet to criticise the lad.
 The amateur game last night was played between the watch shop and Rogers Bros team. It was a hard and close struggle from start to finish, and when the third period ended the score was tie, 8 to 8. Three min utes overtime were played. but still neither side was able to score, and there the game rested. Patsy Holleran refereed this game. '.
 Fox did some good work in front of the goal last night and stopped several sharp ones from the hockey of Bone. He has the old habit that is so prevail ent with many of the goal tenders of leaving his cage. It may be success full sometimes. but in t1fe long run it doesn't pay. He will be a good man. however, for the local team, and when all get pulling together well there will be, fun for the cranks.
 It gladdened the hearts of the fans to see Big Bill'' Hefrernan guarding the cage for the home team, as it was reported by Manager Doe that he had signed with Lewiston. But this proved to be another of Does big bluffs. for 'Bill'' came to town early yesterday morning and told Manager Aufort that he wasn't here for few days but here to stay. He doesn't think much of the Maine league. nor | do the other stars who have refused l offers to join the opposing forces.- toprl0Rlelu NeWS.
 | It is probable that q meeting will be held soon to form a State polo league. Manchester and Rockville are ready to put teams in the league, and there is ozdeubt that the game would pay well this winter. There@was much inter- est in the games it Rockville last year, despite the many drawbacks pre- vious to the team coming under the l mn Cynr nf of hn The Rockville team will probably be: Hart and Schiffer. rushers; Kennedy, center; Judd, halfback; and Ch2tfield or King. goal. There will also be an amateur league this year.
 Fred Doe was in this city yesterday and while he tried hard to keep his | presence here q secret, the managers | of the Waterbury team were informed | of his visit few minutes after he landed. Doe met several peo pie here and to one of them he gave the information that he was after Daily and Fox of the local team and he was going to take them away witt him. As subsequent events disclosed he did not do anything of the kind He did make an effort to get ChatfielG and Dews. two of our best amateurs but in this he was also unsuccessful as he failed to land either one of them + Evidently polo matters up in the Maine league must be in pretty tougt | circumstances. It Is said that Hip son came as far as Bridgeport witt Doe. but that he would not be allow et to come any further. as Doe probably feared that he might lose him if he came to Waterbury. .H it
