POLO WHITES.

Close call.
 Several hearts were shaky.
 Wallingford will make some of the teams step before this season is over.
 Two periods without goal and against the despised Wallingfords rather opened the eyes of the fans last evening.
 Bridgeport did us a favor by de- feating New Britain and we are again within grasping distance of that top round of the ladder.
 Those preliminary games will de- velop into slugging matches If the curb bit is not put on some of the belligerents. It was close to battle last night with some of them.
 Don't ring that bell until we make a goal" yelled an excited fan last night in the second period, and the timer was called lobster be- cause he did ring it on time.
 Mccarthy, the rusher on the Wal lingford team, played last nights game with tendon in his right leg swollen to about twice the normal size. He received the injury about two weeks ago while in Sharon, Pa. He played one game with Hartford after coming to this league and showed up very creditably. With an- other good rusher to aid Mccarthy Wallingford would have very cred itable aggregation.
 Manager Harry Starkie of the Hartford team has signed Long John Wiley of sharon, Pa, to play center. He sent him transportation yesterday afternoon and he expects he will ar rive in time to play in the game in New Britain tonight. Manager Starkie had hard work in locating Wiley. Several telegrams were sent, but Long John skipped from town to town so fast that the telegraph com pany could not keep up with him.
 Meriden plans to have a roller polo team next fall. An effort will be made to land the franchise now held by Wallingford. An offer will be made to the Consolidated Railway Go for the Casino at Hanover. An outlay of $200 will be needed to make changes in the building and then 600 people can be accommo- dated.

WRESTLING.
Lundin Fails to Down Barnes Four
 Times.

Springfield, Feb 22.-The wonder full ability of Jim Barnes as a wrest- Ter was never shown to greater ad- vantage than in Graves's hall last night, when he successfully staved off the attack of the mighty Hjalmar Lundin and emerged a victor after going against mighty odds for a full hour of hard wrestling. Lundin had agreed to pin Barnes four times in an hour, but he barely managed to do the trick three times.
 After Lundin secured the third fall there were but two minutes left, and he knew he didn't have a chance bar ring accidents. He went at Barnes savagely. hut the middleweight cham pion maintained the defensive and Lundin admitted finally that he had taken on too big task. Barnes was well worn out from the onslaughts of the bulky Swede. hut was wise enough to remain always on the de- fensive. The first fall was won in 26 minutes. the second in % and the third in 12.

BRITT BEATS DE MONTE.
Fast Pool Game in Tournament ae
 Casnpbelrs Last Night.

Hartford, Feb 22.-One of the big gest and most interested crowds since the New England championship pool tournament opened at Camp bells saw George Britt defeat James DeMonte last evening in . contest that was fast throughout The score was 1J0 to 1O2 and both play CTS put up some fine shots. Britt took many chances during the game but generally made good and his victory last evening changed the standing somewhat. Pinard of Meriden goes up to first place and honors for sec- cnd place are now tied between Ds- Monte and Mclaughlin Of Water bury. During the early part of the game there was one DeMonte man willing to bet Sl65 on a j to { shot that his man would win No one took him up. There were other small bets made at the end of the contest money changed hands freely. Will liam Gameriinger refereed the game. The scheduled game this evening is between Bob Mclaughlin of Water bury and Stone of the same city. A big bunch of sports from the Braxs City will invade the pool parIors to- nighht and the game is expected to be close.

WE PROVED
 GOOD FINISHERS
Wallingford Had Us on the Hip But We Squeezed Through in
  the Last Period.

Had Mccarthy, the first rush of the Wallingford team. another player like himself driving for the cage last night. Waterbury might have been humiliated by defeat from the tail- enders. As it was there were several, yes, many around the rink who al most had heart failure as they saw their former goal tender, John Allen, kicking them out and blocking the drives that Loxson and Murray were sending his way. This Allen chap played one of the best games in front of the cage that he has attempted in many years. Time after time he came out from that semi-circle and, "Sutton-like," he blocked the plays of both Murray and LOxson. It was not all John Allen either, for in front of him was our old friend, Paddy Moran. There were many in the au- dience who would have liked to got a clip at Paddy when he continually interfered with our rushers as they came down the rink with the little red ball. He was there with all his bells ringing, however, and try as they could in the first two periods Murray and Loxson could not find the combination to that Allen and Moran lock.
 Both teams started of at fast clip and 1t was very evident from the way Allen jumped against the first ones that were hurled at him that he was there to defeat his old comrades. As the minutes went by it was seen that Wallingford was out for vic tory with Mccarthy paving the way. When five minutes and twenty-five seconds of the time had elapsed Nc Carthy rapped one behind Sutton 80 quickly that the fans could scarcely realize it. They are only toying with them" said some of the fans, but that toying was turned into bewilderment as the Wallingfords continued to put up a splendid defense and were az gressive. with vengeance. The bob changed for the end of the first period with Wallingford the only possessor of goal. In the second period the battle waged still more flercely and both goal tenders began to do stunts. Allen and Moran were power to the visitors and. 1t became aggravating as they broke up all kinds of plays and passes. Once more did the bell ring and still Wallingford had that one goal. while Waterbury had the big cipher. "Go at 'em." yelled the fans when the third period began. Eat 'em up," cried Gilly Daily, and "eat 'em up" they did. The strain had begun to tell on Mccarthy. who was suffering with a sore leg, and his team mates also became weary and before the period ended the locals had pounded in five while Walling- ford was getting one.
