Ihe local polo quintet advanced another step towards first position in the National Polo league last night, when It walloped Charlie Hardy's bunch from Providence in fast and exciting contest at the Quinnipiac rink As usual, Warner and Bone were all over the floor, and, despite John Malory's eagle eye and barn door" shinpads they succeeded in driving some pretty goals by the vls- iting goal tend.
 Warner, however, did not show the form that he did on Friday night against the Pawtucket team. He was not as active when in the opposing territory as on previous occasions, which fact may be explained hy the presence of MT Hardy, who at every chance that was afforded him appear ed anxious to take a fall out of our versatile first rush For this reason Warner. whose record is without a hlemish thus far, kept aloof from the quarrelsome halfhack.
 What Warner lacked Bone and Griffith made amends for, for the fierce drives and swinging stick of the Providence back had no terror for the local men, who appeared willing to meet MT Hardy at the halfway mark. Paul Gardner, at halfhack for the To- calls, was also very busy man last night and was all ever when needed. He covered Menard, the visiting cen ter, so well that that player could do l,,A overanMous in his endeavors to cover the Providence man, and foul re- suited, the only one called on the home team during the game.
 The game started off with a rush. '" Bone showing his old-time form. Hardy smashed the ball the length of the rink, after which the locals recov- cred 1t and on terrific hombardment of Mallory's shins Bone succeeded in caging the first goal of the evening. Warner got the second rush and drove the ball straight for the Providence goal. giving Mallory one of the hard est stops of the game. Warner then got the sphere and after procession down the rink managed to put the ball hy Mallory's "barn-doors' from a very difficult angle. The third goal of the period was caged by Hardy.
 Providence came into the game In the second period with the determina- ton of winning, and managed to keep the ball out of Its goal for almost fourteen minutes during which time all of the players took crack at slam ming it at the different goal tends Bone caged the ball In rally around the Providence goal, but Roaring Red" would not allow 1t on the ground that Bone had used his feet to too good advantage. Warner, however, caged the first goal of the period, and he was closely followed by Bone, who put 1t in fifteen seconds afterwards.
 The third period was characterized hy the advent of Dutch" Schlffer who earlier in the game had been seen skating around in New Haven uni form. He took Warmers place. the lat fer being forced to retire with broken skate. Tn this period each side caged two goals and Mir Hardy succeeded in having two fouls called on him
