 Victory Bridgeport To-Night

against it last night. Two times, at least, the visiting players sent the ball into the New Haven cage, only t0 have 1t come rolling out. The Water bury five also lost goal by fouls Referee Leahy penalizlng 1t three times, Loxson, Holderness and Moo ney being the guilty parties, Mooney being the least offending of the three The foul called on him happened through circumstances rather thar because of any intention on the part ' of that player to mix things up.
 The contest wns red hot one from the start, and neither team seemed tc have anything on the other, excepting perhaps, the visitors excelled in pass, ing. But on blocking, the local five was fully the equal of Waterbury and checked little better, if any thing.
 The play of the first period was mostly in the middle of the floor, aud so well did the players stick to one another, that the goal tenders had lit, tie trouble in keeping of the few drives that were sent their way. The two teams fought the whole of the first period without either side regis tering goal, and five minutes of the second period were consumed before the ball was landed in the net.
 Loxson did the trick after New Ha- ven's defense had been drawn away from the cage, and after Mullen had kicked away a hot drive from Mur' ray.
 Loxson scored the second goal also, but as the Brass city aggregation had indulged in too many rough tactics, one of the goals was taken of, leav- ing the score 10. The play became bitter as the game wore on and the local players worked like beavers to penetrate the excellent defense that the visitors were putting up. Final ly, after Holderness had been drawn away to the side of the rink by Cur tiss, Welch received the ball and then sent it into the Waterbury cage on a terrific drive.
 The third period passed by with each team doing its best to tally, but through the fine play of both Mullen and Sutton, there was nothing doing. The overtime period began with the fans on pins and needles. Waterbury started ill with n rush, and let loose at Mullen in such q way that he was compelled to dart out of his cage sev- eral times to prevent the visitors from scoring.
 The last goal was caged on a bill Hard shot, with Sutton acting as the cushion. Welch hauled off with a whack that sent the ball soaring through the air like streak of light ming. It landed on Suttons chest protector and dropped in front of the cage. Before Sutton could shoot the ball away. Curtiss was on hand with the right kind of poke, and the ball nestled in the Waterbury cage with q sight of delight.
 During the overtime period, Cur tlss and Holderness became locked in a tieath-like grip, which neither was able to loosen, soak him. soak hlm!' yelled the crowd to Curtiss, thinking that Holderness was attempting to pound the life out of him. It turned out. however, that neither player was trying to demolish the other, but their arms and shinny sticks became so tangled up that Curtiss had Holder ness in neck hold, which Referee Leahy was compelled to break.
 George Bone showed telegram he had received from Miller, which was to the effect that the new man was on his way east. He should be here by Thursday. and will probably line up against New Britain on Friday night at the Quinniplac rink. Eight hundred fans were in attendance last night. Summary:
