 If the people of Waterbury are look mS for rough polo, they are getting it now in about every game that is played Polo patrons are a peculiar people sometimes, however. and that fact was evidenced last night when Barney Doherty. the "Albino' haired scrapper from Hartford was told to go to his dressing room and ponder on the acts of which he had been guilty. Seven-eighths of that big crowd of people had shouted for the removal of Barney when he was discovered trying 10 find a soft spot on Russell's face that he could make an impression on with his hands or hockey, but those seven-eigths yearned for Barney's re- turn after the game had been resumed without him, for the scenes of Wild excitement had disappeared and the game appeared altogether too tame in fact, would remind you of the sort of football games you may get if the Chicago rules are adopted.
 The fight occurred in the second period. Waterbury had walked away with Hartford in the first period and had, made seven to two when that period was over. In the second period after Griffin had made another, Cotter and Wodtke took hand in the game and soon had added two to their score.

The polo players themselves realized that the thing had gone far enough. for they cooled down and ar gued the matter out with the referee All this time, however. the crowd kept shouting to have Doherty put of the floor and perhaps it was to appease the spectators that Referee Lush did finally order him off the surface. Bar ney went off smiling, but he probably was thinking what q glorious time he would have when Waterbury played II Hartford the next time.
 Main came on and took Doherty's place, but the interest in the game had died out, for Waterbury had tot much of a lead and scored at will Fouls were plentiful and seven was the total of the night.
