 AND WE LOST
It Was a Great Battle Last Night in New Haven-0ther
 Results.

The account of that prize fight polo game is thus described by the New Haven Journal-Courier of this morning:
 Referee Doherty almost threw uI the sponge in the last period of las, evenings almost fistic battle, but victory for New Haven's fast polo az gregation over Waterbury, the final score being [ to 4. As it was, Doh erty, the official in this game, the toughest of the season, lost his head and was unable to keep track of mum. berless fouls in the third period However, he did the next best thing and counted none of them. His 0pin- ion of keeping count of fouls was what he yelled up to the press box T can't control them; let them kill each other" There were at least a dozen fouls, such as punching each other, landing on each other with their sticks and tripping each other. The Waterbury aggregation had one goal taken off their number in the first period, getting three fouls. Holder ness, Murray and Fahey. were, Water bury's chief offenders .- during the game. They picked Mccarthy and Bone as their instruments of tor ture. Time and again they ripped them and when Doherty was not look ing held them and threw them aside. It may be stated, and as was expect ed, the Waterbury heavyweights did not dare tackle Farrell, Saunders or Mullen. They knew that they would not be able to get away without hav- ing their trickery compliments return ed with an extra on the side. They picked Bone because he, is not in eX- cellent condition and who does not weigh as much as they do and Me Carthy because he is young, light and is too manly to fight. Bone and Me Carthy never pick fights nor look for any until it is violently thrust upon them. It was violently thrust upon Bone last evening, however, principal ly by Holderness. After being treated past the rough mark by the Water bury man he started to retaliate. Twice the two men wrestled and then withdrew from each others embrace, but finally the two men went at it in almost fatal fierceness. They fell to the floor, Bone on top. Doherty, forgetting to blow his whistle, tried to separate the men.
 The fans in the bleachers aroused by the treatment to Bone rose in a body and had they not been separat- ed from the inside of the rink Nby net ting, would have gone wildly to Bone's assistance. Two of the Water. bury players started to jump on Bone. but they were cooled down by Referee DOherty and separated. While the men were fighting on the floor, the other player endeavored to cage goals. Had not Farley and Saunders been engaged in guarding tbeir goal they would have put q finish to Water- burys' start. After Bone and Holder ness had risen from the floor. Doherty saw the men trying frantically to cage goal. He then blew his whis- tie and the ball was not in play.
 Mccarthy played a splendid game. He got ten rushes and caged three of New Haven's goals. He was fast and caught his passes well. He made the first goal of tlle game in $50. The two teams were tied at the end of the first period and as much time had been taken out during the period it was de- cided to play right on. As Water bury had one goal taken off in the second period the two teams were still tied at the close of the second. Bone landed one and Farrell two during the final period easily winning the game. The lineup and summary:
 New Haven. Waterbury.
