FIDO SAID HE
WOULD DO IT
Sutton Tended Great Goal For
New Haven-Results Of the
Other Games. .

New Haven, March 14.-Only one
player who started the season with
the New Haven roller polo team rep
resented the Elm city last evening
in the thorough Furnishing of Nc
Mahons Rough Riders at the Quin-
nipiac rink. This lone original was
George Bone, the manager of the
Boneyards, the player who has
pulled New Haven out of all kinds of
difficulties and who, working zeal
ously to satisfy the greedy wants and
desires of New Haven fans, has now
collected an aggregation of players
which threatens to play havoc with
the best in the league.
The debutantes, Long John Wiley
and Fido Sutton, made big hit in
the Waterbury battle with the fans.
Wiley put up far better game than
Wild Charlie Farrell ever played
here. He passed we'll, broke up that
clever combination, Jason and Hig-
gins, and astonished everyone by
caging three pretty goals. His last
successful attempt was one of the
prettiest made by center this sea-
son. He captured the ball from ia
son in the center of the rink, wob-
bled merrily around in back of the
New Haven cage and skating down
the edge of the rink until within
range of the Waterbury cage, and
then drove the ball neatly into the
netting.
Sutton put up a pretty game i'll
goal, making many phenomenal
stops. The entire defense was con-
siderably strengthened and was al
post impenetrable. Higgins man
aged two or three times to free his
way through Gardeners legs, but
these times were few and far be-
tween. Paul played pretty game
and saved the locals from two or
three scores by Waterbury.
Bones work caused New Ravens
victory, most of his six goals COM
ing only after his pretty lodging
and clever side shots.
Fahey excelled for the visitors,
playing both pretty defensive and
offensive game. Higgins missed
many drives and passes. The line
