 It will be many a long day before New Haven will forget that defeat ot last night ill the Auditorium. It was not only d defeat but was well nigh q complete annihilation of the leaders of the lG;lgu Such q humiliating de- feat seldom comes to a good team of polo players. but the managers of teams in this league will take due notice from now to the end of the sea son that Waterbury has Il team that will make all the others dOff their hats to her. New Haven was simply out played at every point of the game, and strive as her players might, they could not stop the cpaseless flow of goals that were being piled up by the local team.
 There were two Johnny on the Spot men in the game for Waterbury last nighc. First there was our own CT regular Johnny Griffin, and if he did not convince the cranks last night that he is still one of the best. rusherS in this or any other league, they must be pretty hard to please. It only proved enc thing, that &li Griffin need ed was d fast running mate. and then his work would show out more strong ly. He played gilt edge game last io1 r,I nSSinp Inf the ball made his friends happy and caused those who were luke-warm to- ward him to applaud him as they have never done before. The original Johnny on the Spot was ''BCb' Rus 1 sell. late of the Meriden team. As soon as he had vaulted over the railing onto the floor he was given rousin2 reception. and certainly no player could feel otherwise than much flat tered at the reception given. him. He returned that appreciation by putting i up a star game and between himself and Griffin he had the New Haven players tired. In the last part of the game il was simply pie for Russell t6 drop the ball into the netting. and his 1 juggling and catching of passes wer, nicely executed.
 Jean and HoiderncSs had q big pari ! in that defeat of the New Ravens. The hurdle play of Bones was knockeH Sll ly hy our big center. and Whil" tht speedy ruSher of the visitors SeNcra ! times succeeded in getting through the 1 lines he was not fortunate enough 1' ! get the ball over the goal line. .Icai blocked passed and drove with goot judgment and seldom missed an oppoi tunity to break up all opponents plaN Tommy IIolderncSS took particular de light in interfering with Jason, :h' that player was made to feel lone some and sadly out of place.
 Fox was, like a stone wall last nlgh l and in tic last period, when cur play CTS let up in their fast work and al . lowed the goal tender to take care o ! himself, he was equal to the task. Il worked feet hands and hockey an' he never forgot to keep his head Il | good working order. Tn fact h showed the veteran goal tender at tn other end of the rink what good goa tending was. and it was his work tha kept the New Haven score down s small.
 The 'quintette as it appeared las night Ou@ht to make all the team how down before them and perhap they will before the season ends. Tn score and summary:
