STRENUOUS WAS
 THAT EXHIBITION
The Boneyards Gave Us a Fierce Tussle But We Won-AIl the
 Other Results.

learn very readily why Eddie Hig- gins has the high sign" on George Bone. The little chap showed his speed and his ability as polo player throughout every second of that con- test. Tipped and jostled at every turn he was on the spot when want | ed, and, while he missed several passes, he connected with so many good ones, that the misses were for gotten. He has an able ally in Phil Jason and never did man work harder than this same Jason. He toyed with that little red ball as a cat would with mouse. He played all kinds Of tricks on the opposing forces and passed and re-passed the ball with accuracy. Certainly no two rushers in the business have anything on our speed developers and goal getters, af- ter their exhibition of last night. Jack Fahey was another who deserves mention. In the beginning of the game he seemed to be asleep at the switch, but when he was awakened to the fact that New Haven was run ming away with the game, he fought like tiger. He was all over the floor, now fighting Charley Farrell or the opposing rushers, now carrying the ball down to his team mates and of ten driving himself for the cage, when the opportunity presented itself. And his drives were not in vain either for he began the scoring for his side and | also took the lead for the locals. Tommy Holderness was another who was out to win that game and he fought against every attempt to score on the part of the visitors Tommy also had the distinction of making the last goal for his side in the second period. And Davy Cusick, what of him? When he was not kicking them l out, he was out in front of his cage or back of it, tackling the players | when they came too close to the dan ger point, Young Shiffer got a jolt under the jaw that made his teeth rattle and Davy had to stand for a foul. It was great game we put up, the greatest from a strenuous stand point of any this season.
 New Haven took advantage of our slowness in the first few minutes of play and before we realized it the visitors had scored three times. The 1 first goal made by George Bone took nearly six minutes of playing time
 Then came two in lesG than one minute, the first one of them looking as though accidentally kicked in by Holderness. The fans at this point shrieked and howled at the locals to get move on them and they did. In less than six minutes more Fahey Higgins and Jason had caged goal each and the period ended with the score tied. Fast became the battle in the second session and we took the lead in two minutes and were never headed thereafter, although tied once. We scooped in four in the second period while New Haven was gettirg two. The third period saw both teams almost in, but fighting like mad. Charley Farrell lost his head completely and swore like a trooper. All the swear words were not in sc- cret either, but very audible to the fans. Charley was mad at himself and everybody else. He Quarrelei with his team mates and at times dis played the disposition which has glv- en him the title of crazy Charley Far rell. We scored once in the last period and so did New Haven and the most hard fought battle ever wit messed on the local floor ended with the score s to 6. The lineup and summary:
