AGAIN DEFEATED.
NEW HAVCN LOSES GAME TO
 BRIDGEPoRT.

Score Was s to but Visitors Lost Goal on FouIs--BOne Unable to Play Which Had Much to Do With Poor Showing Made by the Local Team. In slap, bang, rough and tumble contest in which the first principles of polo were hardly ever observed by their team New Haven went down to defeat before Bridgeport last night to the tune of ' to ?. The rink was crowded by the enthusiasts of the game who went expecting to see a hard fought contest, but were hardly disappointed. True, Bone was ordered by his medical adviser not to play, and this to a certain extent accounted for the poor showing made by the local players. Bridgeport had Whipple, who prayed for New Haven in the last league. He pu up a smart game and was responsible for six of the seven goals scored for his side.
 
 There was an entire absence of team playing by both quintets. which after all IS the one essential thing which makes a game of polo really worth seeing. The public all over the circuit have shown that they want polo and are willing to support it, and it is up to the managers to get players who can and will playe the game as it ought to be player, and so maintain their confidence and support.
