New Haven was forced to admit that Waterhll1y WaS her maSter

N6W Haven WAS IOfCeu lO duuiiI tA0 Waterbury was her master.
 Whipple had more to say than all the rest of the players last night, and naturally the fans got after him. They say that Whippie is the idol> of the New Haven fans, but why this is so Waterbury. people could never learn.
 On the last day of the year, Hart ford was in last place, and Waterbury and Meriden were tied for second. To- day the three are a tie at .526, and New Haven is in easy hailing distance. Hartford Times. Get on to your job.
 It was no wonder that Tommy Hol- derness broke his skates several times last night He went into all kinds of scrimmages and threw himself all over the floor to break up the plays of the New Ravens. He was power in the game.
 It was pure grit and pluck that kept Russell in the gam% He was very sick man last night, and it was for that reason alone that he missed sev eral good passes. Lad he been in con- dition New Haven would have been buried out of sight.
 In the amateur game last night the Watch shop team defeated the Rogers Brothers team by the score of to 2.
  with the East Weymouths, was in the goal circle for the defeated team, and he did remarkably good work. Will MT Rieger, of the Nnv Haven Register, now offer his apologies to the Waterbury players for his very wrong criticism of their playing. We said before, and we repeat it. that when It comes to rough house tactics New ia- ven can take the lead if she is pressed pretty hard.
 Canavan was mad clean through and when the ball which had been sent into the gallery was dropped accident ally on Bonc's head he looked for trou- ble from the spectators. It is the first time that Jimmy CanaVan has been known to lose his head in polo game in this city.
 Fox was on springs all night long and several times he was away from lis cage when it looked serious, but the splendid defense work of the To- calls saved the day. 1ou cant say much against Fox, however, for his trips away from the cage many times stopped sure drives. He surpassed the work of Lations two to one.
 Science is all right. but such games as the or last night create the enthu- SiaSm and draw the crowds. There were no free fights, but q sort of q foot ball game on q smaller scale. While we are not advOcatng too rough a game, the Specta tors admire q good fighting game, where each man is out to win, irrespective of science.
 If there is one man on the local team that deserves all the good things that can be said of him that man is Jean. He never was missing when he was needed. and he made the rushcrs of the visitors mad enough to fight him. Even Whipple and Can | avan could not stop his brilliant work and when Canavan resorted to rough tactics he found more than his match ] in the Waterbury center.
 Manager Tom Cotter said yesterday that he had received q letter from i HipsOn in which that player declared 1 his willingness to play on the Hart for team. Cottcr hopes to have him 1 in time to play on Friday or Saturday | night. The fact that IIipson is ready to quit the Lewiston team of the Maine | league is an indication that that cir cult will not last much longer. With 1 his departure the breakup of the Bath | team is expected, and then look for 8 i team at New Britain.-New Haven ! RCwiSter.
