 Other News.

Another day has passed and still Jack Fahey has not come out Of the west, and once more are we ehronicled 1 with a defeat. Played off our feet in the very first period by George Bone and his bunch of ball pluggers, we came back strong and almost evened things up in the last two ses- sions. Our defeat can be attributed to just one or two things. Ill the first place we borrowed John Wiley from Hartford for last nights game and John looked as if he had been tramping with Walker Weston for the long fellow was practically useless, until near the close of the game wheh he did work up a little energy An derson was lost at sea in the first period. and the New Ravens found him easy picking, but in the last two periods he came back. and showed such brilliant form In stopping all kinds of drives, that the crowd cbeered him to the echo. Tommy Hol- Gerness had his hands full all night. for Wiley, who was supposed to play the middle with him, was asleep at the switch, but Tommy worked both ends and the middle to perfec- tion. Little Mccarthy and Tommy came very close to personal encoun- ters several times, but the only re- suits were to make faces at each other. Loxson was all over the floor in those last two periods and Murray tried hard to- keep up with him and take the ball when passed to hlnf' They did well enough, both of them, under the circumstances and had Jack Fahey been in Wiiey's place there is no doubt as to what the final result would have been.
 New Haven began a bombardment of Anderson in the very first period, and when the bell rang for the close it was seen that the little red sphere had passed behind our goal tender just five times, while we had secured but two. The crowd was rather dis eonsolate but still they cheered the players on The second period saw q battle royal. Anderson awoke from his lethargy and the way he kicked those balls out was a caution. We were not idle ourselves. and Loxson and Murray again and again drove the ball against Mullen, only to have it kicked away in safety. It was nearing the thirteen minute score when little Mccarthy got his chance 1 and took it, and the game looked cinched for New Haven with the
 score 6 to 2 against us. But we were not yet whipped and before the three
 minutes more in that period was up,
 Murray and Wiley had scored one goal each, and 6 to did not look so bad. The third period saw another 1 stiff fight, and, when Loxson drove one i ill after a little over two minutes ! of playing. and We were within one of tying, the crowd simply stood up
