Stone Looks Like Winner For He Is
 Yet To Be Beaten,

Stone stacked up against Kelleher of Naugatuck last evening and he stacked up so we'll that the Nauga- tuck man was never in the hunt. The local boy began to run away from his visitor and out of pity let him go some in the last part of the game. It was not very exciting game and created but little interest. The scores:
 Stone-11, II, IS, 10, 10, ', 0, [, 6-75.
 Kelleher-3, 3, 2, Q, 3, z, 15, 8, 9 -55.

BRIDGEPORT HERE 2
 THIS EVENING
Ws Walloped Providence Last Night Results of all
 Other Games.

Bridgeport flushed with her vic- tory over Pawtucket last evening, will come to Waterbury to-night,bur she will meet with no such success here. Waterbury has begun the long climb of the polo ladder and every thing must clear the track. We start ed in at Providence last evening and administered a nice trimming to the McGilvray crowd right in their own bailiwick. Tonight we will do the same thing to Bridgeport, that is we think We will, and we have the right to think that way. Bridgeport al ways did like to trim Waterbury and Frank Sutton reiterates the state ment that Waterbury will suffer de- feat tonight, for he has invented a new system of stopping drives and will prevent Daily or Loxson from getting one by him.
