N[N britain WINS
FROM PAW7UCKET

The leaders In the National Polo league
visited Pawtucket for the first time this
season and a large crowd of supporters
turned out to see the home team in its
strengthened condition rout the New
Britain team from its position. but they
were sadly disappointed and were obliged
to watch a defeat of their pets by the
score of TO /. 1t was heart-breakins
game and one that the spectators could
not complain of from an impartial stand
point, there being many excellent plays
on both sides and fast polo galore OF a
kind to excite the enthusiast
The star of the game, II there was any
In particular. was Mitchell, Pawtucket
boy, who was In the goal circle OF New
Britain and many times saved his team
by magnificent stops. In the first period
''Izzy" Whipple sent no less than four
fine shots at the visitors goal and all
from close at hand, but Mitchell was
there with the goods and nothing got
past him.
Heffernan was unable to make connec-
tions and Peggy" White. veteran OF
the game, went into the Pawtucket goal
circle He did good work and particu-
larry toward the close OF the game did
he defend his cage with a vigor that was
loudly applauded. Several times he left
his circle, blocking the ball in grand
fashion.
Cameron at halfback put up one of the
finest exhibitions OF blocking he has
shown this season. and time and again
he Saved White from a/hard one. He
played the game sure and passed 10 Cum
ny and Pierce we'll.
The Pawtuclkets put up hard game.
but luck was against them, and time and
again the ball bounded just out OF reach
of the forwards on the pass. although
when II did come right Mitchell In the
New Britain goal was stone wall
Whipple rushed with Cunningham in
the first two periods and got some fine
shots at the cage which were stopped
In the third Mooney went In at centre
and Pierce took Whips place. Mooney
showed better form than he has before
and blocked his men well, making also
some hard drives 10 the cage
New Britain put three into the Paw
tucket netting I'm the first period, their
rushers working like well-oiled ma
chine and their passing being of the bill
lard table order. In this period Mitchell
was bombarded continually by Cunning
ham and Whipple, having Is stops to his
credit 10 10 for White.
In the second period White had his
work cut out for him. and his stops num-
bered 16 TO a lonely six sent to Mitchell,
but despite the battery aimed at the
BaWtucket cage Dut one got tnrOugn the
defence, this being after 10 minutes of
play.
In the third honors were even I'm the
goal circle, each having Is TO their credit.
Only one goal was registered and that
by Pawtucket, Cameron shooting the ball
past Mitchell and saving his team from
the whtewash brush There had been n
fusilade at the visitors goal, and after
"Cunny" and Pierce had each driven at
Mitchell, both of which he kicked out.
Cameron came up the centre and with
a smashing drive sent the ball into the
netting behind Mitchell for the only tally
of the home team.
During the first intermission Arthur
Mitchell, the clever goal tender Of tho
New Britains, was called TO the centre OF
the floor and presented with gold watch
chain and diamond stickpin, the gifts
being from friends In Pawtucket and be-
Ing presented by John Riley. The score:
