Boneyards Start Well, But Are Caught by Bridgeport and
 Defeated.
MANAGER EADIE HAPPY
Leads Teddy Bears Just Long Enough to See Them in the Coveted
 Position.
NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

' Eadie's cherished hope that while he held the management of the Bridgeport team the Teddy Bears would see second place was fulfilled Hast evening when the Park City az tgregation after an uphill fight slowly drew away from the Boneyards and defeated them by the score of 10 to G..
 Bones five started off in phenome- nal form and at the end of the first period, having a lead of four goals, looked like easy victors, the only ques- stiont which perplexed the fans being as to the quantity of the slaughter. After the first period the tide turned, land goals were made by the Bridge tport players as fast as New Haven shad scored in the first. The local five Ewere cornered and withered away in that position.
 { The wild" Charlie Farrell may be credited with an unexpected and pitt Iful turn. Charlie worked in remark period. but after that he returned from that passing game to that s'smash! bang!" method George Bone, after several whirlwind sweeps around the rink. sent a pretty drive past Harper into the Bridgeport goal Then Farrell took the ball from 'Ted" Lewis and hit neat rebounding pass to Bone, who scooped the rubber into the netting for his side. Wild Char lie seeing an opening shortly after this let loose and drove the ball with a vicious swing past the frantic goal tender. A short silence of thirty sec .onds and again Bone was the center of attraction. He waddled down the rink. lodging the bewildered players and pushed the spheroid neatly in the cage.
 With the second period came the change. Farrell forgetting Bone's continued pleadings to play passing game took upgthe driving act and whenever the ball came near him he gave it a vicious drive in the direction of the Bridgeport goal Thus New Haven's passing game, which was ef- fective in the first period, passed into the shades and the old time individual game returned Bridgeport taking advantage of the change redoubled their efforts. At the close of the sec pnd period the score was tied and there was a fighting chance, but in the final period the Park City players put up remarkable game and easily passed away from the locals, finishing four laps ahead.
 The Bridgeport team was crippled by the absence of Griffith at center. but the same spirit which always pre- walls in the team prevailed last night and although apparently doomed 10 defeat at the start stepped away with the contest and second place
 Saunders was given a chance to get his letters again and to show his ability to the local fans. Larry went into the game with an unusual zest, and proved effective for the short space of time he played
 Roaring Red Rorty, the imper- ious official, was the man behind the throne last night. He had a new whistle, and the sound which burst forth from 1t sounding very similar to that of hyena's shrill and piercing cry.
 Mullen put up fine game but he also caused little trouble for the To- calls. He was so rude as to trip I'D Lewis with his stick and to fall down an front of the New Haven cage and caused foul in goal. Harper also made foul holding Farrell. The lat ter threw Harper's stick into the gal 1ery.
