Waterbury Democrat., 1901-01-15
Waterbury in Hartford tonight.


 Once again has the lead been hand ed back to New Haven, but we will have it again after a couple of days.
 New Haven comes her tomorrow night and for all theu nkind things that has been said about our team in New Haven We will be in condition 10 pay them back with interest.
 It was too bad that New Britain could not have won that game with Hartford last night, but Tom Cotter always did have 1t in for New Britain and he must have chuckled after the game was over.
 In Heffernan at goal the New Brit r aims have got q second Burgess and the manner in which he kicked those lightning drives of Russell's away from in front of the net struck a responsive chord in the hearts of the fans.-New Britain Herald.
 Dickie Pierce, the old Providence rusher, and who is really the wizard of the game in the art of juggling the ball. delighted the hearts of the root CTS by the way in which he managed to dodge the two old favorites, Jean and Russell.-New Britain Herald. It was q real old time polo crowd that huddled togeth in the frigid atmosphere and dim light of the Ca sino Saturday evening and cheered the new New Britain polo team on to well earned victory over Billy Par sons's pets from the Brass city.-New Britain Herald.
 | While New Haven and Waterbury | are fighting to hold the lead, and while | each is doing the exchange act, the other two teams can see good oppor- tunity to come up the line, and per haps before the season is over it will | be as pretty a bunch as you could | wish for.
 The Waterbury gentlemen who went | to New Haven last night to see the | game there did not have much to en- | thuse over. They say that the New | Haven people do not take kindly to the home players, and that they did not receive hand when they came on the floor, except those given them by the visitors.
 Each team lost foul on goals last | night in New Haven and still they say that Waterbury has a team of | thugs and rowdies. Why, the Wa terbury players are so kind and gentle | that the ladies crowd to the Auditori- uIn night after night to see them play and cheer them on to victory. The | Waterbury boys are possessed of con siderable sand, however, and even | though they are kind and gentle, they object to being made doormats of, and | when pushed to it they can hold their own with the best of the sluggers. | In making up the records of the l goal tenders last week, that is, for | the week ending January ,, the Dem | ocrat made T few errors, and they were bad ones, too. Those errors were l discovered when the past weeks rec | ords were made up and yet even the Boston papers fell into the trap and the wrong records were used. Will the secretary and president send on their salaries and oblige.
 What a circuit it will be next sea- son if the trolley companies get all they are going to ask for in the leg islature. Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, New Britain, Springfield and
 Waterbury, and We might even in clude Bristol and NIeriden if the lat ter city is good and does not accuse the Waterbury papers of throwing
 mud.
 A party consisting of Messrs Castle
 Raymond, Harrington, Doyle, Kelly and one or two others attended the
 game in New Haven last night and saw Waterbury go down in defeat
 They say that New Haven played rings around our team and the only
 ones that played the game at all were Griffin and Fox Castle says what
 Jonahed the whole game was allow
 ing Raymond and Mat Doyle to carry
 the polo sticks from the depot to the
 rink. The boys got just one chance
 to cheer andthat was when the home
 team came on the floor before the
 game started. Even the train was
 late, caused, it is claimed, by the above
 two Jonahs.
