POLOCAMES
Several Ovestime Games llyed Last Nigbt Eddie Higgins
 a Star.

bfldgeport, Nov 14.-The Bridge port polo fans had the satisfaction oi witnessing red hot game last night even if the home team did lose, 1t re. quiring overtime for the Fall River team to get the extra goal giving them the game, 10 to g.
 The entire game teemed with polo playing of the stellar variety. The Fall River bunch, reinforced by Hig- gins' the speedy rusher formerly With Salem, came here after the game and put in their best licks to get it, finally succeeding when Hig- gins by a splendid burst of speed caged the winning goal in the over time period. .s-
 The game was largely an individ- ual one, as the players of the two opposing teams were too evenly matched to permit of much success ful team work or passing. Lewis was at top notch speed nearly all the evening, while Canavan played his prettiest, but "Wild'' Charlie. Farrell was his stumbling block. Carrigan saved Harper from stop after stop, put 1t was all in vain since it only prolonged the agony Harper was right there with the goods and made phenomenal stops. Roberts showed slight improvement in driving, but he did not have any time in which to take aim as O'Hara and Farrell were upon him so quickly. The home team although beaten put up fine game. :. -... ~,"
 Higgins was as fast as ever and his speed bothered the home team not little. Farrell was right there with the drives while O'Hara kept the ball fed up to the front in good style.
 Bridgeport made fully as many shots at the goal as Fall River, but many were so wild that Cashman did not have to try to stop them. Near the close of the second period hot drive from Lewis at close range struck Cashman's thumb on his left nand while it was on the cage with the result that that member was broken. After a physician had re- duced the fracture he reappeared on the surface and pluckily finished the game.
 The most exciting goal was the one made just before Cashman's accident when after Harper had made bril- liant stop the ball was poked into the cage by Thompson with three of the Fall River players grouped in front of the goal
 Lewis showed his speed when in the third period he captured the ball on the rush and drove it home in three seconds. The game was bit terly fought all the way through al- though the home team secured the lead at the start Roberts caged the second goal in sensational manner, catching the ball as it bounded out from the side of the rink on pass from Lewis. O'Hara made pretty goal in the second period from his end of the rink, the ball lifted from the floor by his stick not stopping un- til it was safely in the cage, Harper not being able to see it in the air.
 The third period opened with the score a tie, 5 to 5, but it was in this period that the home team lost the game since they allowed the visitors to make the same number of goals that they did .a
 Lewis made the ninth and last goal for Bridgeport by taking the ball on the rush and caging it after which Higgins repeated the same trick, thus tying the score. .-
 The overtime period was started amid great excitement. But Higgins, speedier than ever, put an end to the agony by caging the ball in little over two minutes after play had start ed. The lineup and summary:
 Bridgeport. Fall River.
