 night.
 Speaking of last nights game, the Hartford Courant tells the following story:
 There is new star on the polo hor- 1zon and his name is Schiffer. If be does not get the big head and sulk he is destined to become the best polo rush ill the league. His work is being closely watched by the fanatics and Le is regarded with as much interest as the way the president and secretary Of the league are hustling about the circuit since they were prodded by the press. For several days the fans have been watching the papers to see where Murnane and Morse have been to mend their fences and now they are keeping close watch on Schiffec.
 To Schietfer must be given the most credit for beating Waterbury last night. He was ably assisted by Hol- derneSS. who made two fOulS. and by Griffin. who lost d roller during q try ing moment and could not get back to the surface in the two minutes allowed by Wee Willie Lush. Waterbury rath- CT outplayed Hartford as far as team work is concerned. 'Cotter is still sui fering from the whack he received a week ago and he was obliged to avoid some of the mix-upS because of his wound. Wodtke had much trouble in making the balls break for him and he waS not the wizard of old. DOherty'S playing was no more than ordinary.
 Little Schiffer more than made up for the SloNneSS of his compatriOtS. He made but few misses at cOyer-point and the way in which he buckled into the big men was worth seeing. He was too much for Holderness and he took the ball away from every man on the Waterbury team. Jean had a foul called on him for one of his miX-ups with Schffer and some of the fanatics called Jean names. The big center is good natured player and never in lures an opponent Intentionally. He apologized to Schiffer. but this was not enough for the crowd and they con tinued to shout. Jean made the usual bluff about seeing them after the game was over.
 The fifth goal in the second period vas an easy one for Hartford Grif- fms skate slipped q roller and he hau to retire Billy Parsons. the substl- ute. was in the counting house count ing out his money and was not Ill tlni- form. According to the agreement two minutes were allowed and as Gfl1- fin was not ready and the Waterbury players were off the floor W outkt ca ged the ball without opposition. our men then came on ana II looh ' iiiii- ute for the next goal.
 The game was nip and tuck all the way through. Hartford did not make inc winning goal until thirty seconds hafore the close. Waterbury lost one noal on fouls and they could not KICK as the players made q number or pal noble fouls that were not called. hhe attendance was about .0OO. the largest Tuesday night crowd for some tune.
