POLO
VICTORY PERCHES
 ON OUR BANNER
Bridgeport Had to Be the First Victim --- Hartford Tumhles
 Providence Two.

We broke the ice last night, and
 we made the hole big enough so that
 Bridgeport, the champion of last sea.
 son, fell through and gave us our
 first victory. It was whirlwind
 game in which Jack Fahey played
 like himself and put Duggan, Griffiths
 and Jason on the bum at almost every
 clash. Duggan was pugnacious iit-
 tie chap and Fahey had to hand him
 couple before he was tanned. The
 battle ragged fiercely ill every period
 and Referee Rorty was forced to call
 his first fouls of the season. There
 were four in all, two ou each team. It was seen right at the start that
 both teams had it :n for ea:n other
 and there were mix ups of all kinds
 There were many more fouls that MT
 Rorty did not see, or didn't care to see and both teams were rough hcus- ing it from one enA Of the paying
 floor to the other. It was just such game as the fans wanted and how they did yell and cheer for the locals
 It was really the first time the specta- tors had a chance to let themselves loose this season and all the pent up enthusiasm was blown off at a race horse speed. The frenzy increased as Waterbury tied the score in the last period and when the locals jumped ahead, seven out of every ten in the auditorium were standing and shout ing like mad. It was polo frenzy un- corked for fair.
 Waterbury scored the first two goals in the first period and it began to look like easy money. LoXson took the first one in 4:10 and twenty-five seconds later Murray dropped anoth- CT into the netting. Jason got tired watching Kid Duggan and Fahey in their little mix ups aud he let things rip himself and in a little over min ute of playing he dropped in Bridge ports first one. Two minutes later he sent in another and the score was tied and there it remained for both goal tenders worked like hrav&l; and kicked them out in all directions. The second period saw goals made so rap idly that the timer could scarcely keep up With them. Both Anderson and Sutton were given some strenu- ous times. There were six goals made in this period and every one in less than one minute of playing. Lox- soh began it in eighteen seconds, Griffiths did the trick in nine and again in forty-five seconds, Loxson followed with another in twelve and with the score again tied Jason smashed in two more, one in forty five and the other in eighteen seconds. That ended the most strenuous period that has been seen on the floor in many seasons. But the third was hummer and Frank Sutton will rDt soon forget the bombardment he re- ceived from every player oL thu team but Anderson. The locals were LOW in fighting mood and they slammed into the visitors in every direction They swept Bridgeport off her feet and in less than two minutes Murray had sent one more in from our side. ! Three minutes later Bobby Loxson drove the fans frantic by tying the score and then the battle royal was on for fair. Up and down the rink 1 they fought like tigers. It was a | fierce scrimmage and players were go- ing down all over the floor IS they came in contact with some speedy | rusher. It looked like an overtime game, but just as the timer was get ting ready to reach for the bell. for here were but thirty seconds left, Bob Loxson brought the fans to their 'eet as he drove horne what proved tc oe the winning goal. it was jmpos- iible for Bridgeport to 'io anything in he small space of time and the bell 'ang for the first vi:to:; of the locals.
