POLO
NEW BRITAIN
 WAS NAUGHTY
We Allowed Her to Play in Our Yard and She Thrashed Our
 Polo Players.

lHC NIUWu NdS DlL IllOEe sduc sbttSL night, although the numbers were about equal to those that attended the Bridgeport game on Tuesday cy- ening New Britain came over on special train too with three or four bundrei rooters and while they did not act lilic q lot of escaped lunllics they were there with the root. when 1t was necessary. Waterbury fnps were prepared to take hand in the roofing themselves and they did it in slap bang style, bu: the fates had de- creed another defeat for our polpists and again it was the fault, in q great measure, of Mooney. Despite the ap- peals ma le to him by the fans to oiget a hustle m and help out his running lhates, his only reply was an insulting remarked, addressed to some one be- hind the press hoy. There was a sigh of relief when Mooney was miss ing in the last period and Johnny Griffin came out 10, ia ke his place. The change worked wonders and the struggle for victory was the finest seen on the polo floor. Loyson and Murray worked like troopers to get in the tying goal and they hammered the ball against Anderson's shin-pads nn- til they were tired. That New Britain goal tender was on to his job however the way he kicked and hammered them away from the cage set the New Britain rooters wild with delight. Don't ring the bell" shouted the more enthusiastic fans as they saw the timers hand reach for the rope. Give Us just few more minutes and we have them," yelled others, but clang went the gong. while Loxsbn and Murray were working like wild men around the New Britain cage, striving tn pass the ball by Anderson. It was the fiercest finish that ever at tended polo game on the local sur face anu had the game gone few more minutes there is no doubt but that Anderson would surely have sue cumbcd to the drives of Murray, l.ox- son an,l Griffin.
 The game looked like walkoycr for the New Britains in that first pe- riod for in less than three minutes Schiffcr had caged tho first one and before another minute bad elapsed be had dropped in another one. Mooney was again tied to that tree and was standing still more often than he was trying to block or hrcak up plays. Tho. game became faster now and when five minutes more had almost elapsed Loxson took the ball down the side of the rink and passed it 10 Murray who cleycrly dropped it be- hind Anderson. New Britain was af- ter the game however and in q little over q minute of time, Harold h.ll done the trick again forthe visitors.
 The second period saw four of our team playing fast polo and in the first three minutes of play Schiffcr and Murray had each contributed a goal for his side. There was no more scoring done in that period. ln the last session Warner slammed one be- hind Sutton when they had been play lng something over two minutes. Then tho battle became desperate. Griffin began to break up the New Britain plays and pass the. ball to the rllsl,as. Loxson and Murray worked as they never worked before. Inc New Brit dlIS were pIityeua oH tueiT teeL uHu Murray smashed one in after the game had gone less than two minutes from the last goal made. On went the hattlc and I,oxson driving and re- driving finally banged in another and there was still eight minutes left in which to tic tho score. It was in those eight minutes that the New Britain goal tender was bombarded from every side. hut iic seemed to be everywhere at once and while we dad little hard luck yet the greatest credit belongs to Anderson, for say ing the game for his comrades. The lineup and summary:
 Waterbury New Britain. Murray .-'........ ......... ScJiIeT t First rush.
