 Thursday, March 12-New Britain at Bridgeport Pawtucket at Waterbury. Friday, March l3-Providence at Hartford. Bridgeport at Pawtucket, Waterbury at New Haven.
 Saturday, March 14-Pawtucket at New Britain, Bridgeport at Providence. The Bridgeport Teddy Bears lived but one day in second place in the National Polo league and New Ha- ven, who fell prey Friday night to the Park City five again breathe the pure air of that high position.
 Saturday night the locals trimmed Springfield, while Bridgeport fell prey 10 the New Britain leaders, thus trip ping back to that place. The local az gregatlon, although playing without Charlie Farrell. played pretty game of polo. one which was far better than any part of Friday nights game. George Bone and Farrelrs separation is far better for the local aggregation than for Farrell. No club in the cir cult wants the wild one, and Bone can easily put someone his equal in that position For some time Bone has been trying to tell Farrell to play a passing game instead of slugginy battle, but Charlie decided to do as he pleased and several times it was the cause of New Haven's defeat. The weak defense which has been so p<ominent in the Boneyards was due more to Far rell than to any man on that team. He would continually leave his position at center and play rush, the result being that the two opposing rushers taking advantage of the locals weak ened defense and would play havoc with Mullen. The climax of Bone and FarrelTs discussions came Friday night after the game, when after a heated discussion Farrell said he was through with the locals and would beat it for another berth. Bone was satisfied and the fast center was paid off. Bone at once endeavored to make a trade with the other teams throughout the circuit, but no one wanted to have Farrell in- magnates realize Farrelrs ability but they also are acquainted with his weaknesses.
 This evening the Boneyards will play in Providence and hot battle may be expected. The lineup of the two teams will be-
 New Haven Providence. Lincoln ..... ..:,........... Thompson
 First Rush.
 Bone ................ McGi1vray
 Second Rush.

 Tomorrow evening Starkie's five who have returned from Springfield to Ia ff.sd ya1a ff fc 1It day evening. the locals five will go to Hartford and Friday night Waterbury will ge our guests.
 The schedule for this week is hard one, but there is no reason why Bones aggregation, which Lincoln as first rush shouldn't play rings around their opponents. Our defense will be rather weakened, but Bone may secure anoth- CT center before the week has alapsed In a game that was featured by the fine team work of New Haven the home club defeated Springfield at polo Saturday night, [ to 3. The contest was played for charity, and the pro. ceeds. about $250, will be turned over to Mayor Martin for the poor relie fund.
 The fine blocking of Saunders was feature of the contest. Farrell who quit the New Haven team because of a difference with Manager Bone, was not 1n the lineup.
 The score:
 New Haven Springfield. Wdrner ...ss.. '......... 1I1ncOlI
