mat was q pOlO Sdme CudI Wouiu make a dyspept;c sit up and take mo- tice. It was the battle of two giants, and all the good things that have been said about us throughout the state were fully demonstrated last evening. Waterbury was there with bells on and each one ringing. New Britain was also there, but we sent her into the land of nowhere before we had finished. My, but that was going some, and although we worked few seconds overtime, everybody was happy, even the tired workers. except possibly New Britain. We made good our promise to give the fans something to enthuse over. Wc played the game of polo as 1t should be played and though at times it looked as if we we were again doomed to defeat, we proved great finishers and came out of the melee with flying colors. It was the game of the season and the fans fell all over each other in the last period and in the few seconds of overtime The game really belonged to us, for aside from Jean, we outplayed tie visitors every minute of the time we were on the floor. Seldom have the fans seen such work as was put up by Loxson and Daly in the rush line. True, Daily failed to connect several times, but he was watched like a hawk and could not land when they were passed to Eim. His last goal
 however, was dream, and he tocH the pass that came to him like shot from the stick of Loxson. It was a fitting finish to brilliant game.
 The first goal was a funny one and was made really before Water bury got set. Shiffer took the ball from the spot and sent it to the bank, Warner catching it on the re- bound and before the locals realized what had happened the ball was be- hind Cusick in twelve seconds play ing time. Then there was an awak- ening and such a game as the fans saw cannot be fittingly described. It was immense. Waterbury went after the game pell mell, and Mitch ell was given bombardment. Il was fast and furious with everybody on the local team having shot al big Jean, who seemed to be the whole visiting team in himself. Not an. other goal was scored by either side in that period.
 Hot was the Eext period, too. and it was a see-saw sort of an affair Daly took the first one in little over three minutes, and Shiffer took tht next in less than two. Daily damned another one in twenty-five seconds and New Britain became furious as she saw the score tied. Then it Was battle royal with neither side hay ing much advantage until nine min
 utes had expired, when the fans go, heart failure as they saw Shiffel bang in another one. That ended the scoring in that period.
 Then came the third, and it was more than heart breaker in the early stages. We had been playins nearly half the time limit when Siif fer got another one by Cusick ant there were murmurs from tte fans When Jean hit in another in three minutes and one half of play, man, of the cold feet spectators began tt leave the rink. The locals were nov forced to desperation, and they wen
