POLO
THE LOCALS
 PLAYED WELL Boston Downed on Her First Ap- pearance in Waterbury-Re-
 suits of Other Games.

When between 4O0 and JOO fanS VIII brave storm such as that WAS last night to see polo game, it shows just what interest there is taken in the sport in this city. And they were well rewarded too, for they saw the local boys play in championship form and down the Bostonians to the tune of 5 to 4. We were all the goods last night, particularly in that first and second periods. It was too bad to throw it into Boston the first time that the team appeared under their new title, but we are out to get away from that tail end, and we decided to begin with the leaders for our first victim. My, how we did play in those first two periods. The fans sat up and cheered like mad as they saw the locals score goal after goal and play with the visitors as cat would a mouse. Bob Loxson was like a streak of lightning and he had Lincoln, Bobby Hart and 'Gussie' Hart tied fast to the mast . He shot through the Boston defense just as easy as a circus rider goes through the paper cd hoop. He was a will-o'-thew wisp, now here, now there, but always at the right spot in the right time. Daily was with him, although he did miss several passes. Those he did take were peaches and cream and kept the fans busy in their hilarious moods. And Fahey and Holderness. They had poor "Gussie" Hart frozen on almost every attempt to get the ball by them and Lincoln was embedded in the icy defense. When Bobby Hart tried him. self to get into the rush line he was no more successful than were his com rades. When they did happen to get through Davy Cusick simply laughed at them and kicked the ball here, there and everywhere. but never into the goal. But once did Boston suc- ceed in getting the ball by him the first two periods and that one came almost at the close of the second period. It was fast, it WAS spectacular and when the locals saw they had the game cinched in those first two ses- sions, they let up in the last period and Boston came near to tying the score. The strengthening of the de- fense and the fast moves of Loxson and Daly kept Boston dancing in the last of the third period and the bell changed on a well deserved victory.
 Long John Wiley was missing from the Boston lineup when the visit ors appeared on the surface, with "BOston" in white letters shining across their breasts. Bobby Hart went in at center, while "Gussie'' Hart went on the rush line. The younger Hart is not sturdy built chap like his brother, but he does good work at that. and scored three of the goals made by his side of the house. Both teams went at it hammer and tongs in the first start off. and we had been playing over ten minutes when | Loxson sent in the first one. In twen- ty seconds Daly corralled the next and less than three minutes later Daly took another. Thus ended the first. Loxson captured another in something over a minute in the second period and | about twelve minutes later 'Gussie'
 Hart made the first goal for the visit ors. Daily captured the last goal for our side just before the bell rang. In the third Boston scored three times, while we were resting or our laurels. As the time was drawing to close the fans got anxious and yelled for the bell. It came just in time to suit i them and they went home satisfied i that the best team had won good victory. The lineup and summary:
 Waterbury. Boston.
