The New Haven and Worcester polo team met at the Quinnpiac rink last night In supposedly championship polo game. Result New Haven won by score of 6 to l. No bones were broken, but the ambulance Of the lo- cal hospital never came so near to being called to attend a couple of the players as 1t did during the cven- ing. Bunk Fahey who is giving Barney Doherty hard race for first place among the foul-gctters, and George Bone, the captaIn-manaGe or the local team, Lincoln the first rush of tho visiting team and "Fldo' Sutton had to show the fans that thoy need not pay their good money to gee a prize fight but needed only show up at one of the games and see some clever boxing in which not only fists but sticks face protectors, etc, such as is useful to polo player played prominent part,
 Hostilities really did not start until the beginning of the second period when Bunk" Fahey thought that Bone was winning too much applause from tho fans by his clever playing and so started to mix things. He be- gan by showing Bone at the same timc tripping him. George Is not accus- toned to such usage SO he immediate ly started after the Worcester half back and before Tommy Leahy could separate them several punches had l,,k I,, utes both hurled imprecatlons at each other of what they would do but tho genial Tommy" was referee and so hostillties ceased in this line.
 But the real fight of the evening came when in the third period Lincoln had the nerve to make a swing at our goal tender. Grandpa Sutton. "Fido" never anything but complacent, had his back almost doubled in two in at- tempting to get away from the swing and this was responsible for a mark cd rise in anger on "Fido's" part. He immediately made one grand jump at the offending rusher and bore him to the floor. Lincoln swinging his stick on Sutton's ribs. Down they went and 1t was several minutes before Tommy" Leahy, aided by the rest of the players of the two teams, could separate the mass. For his wrathfui anger "Fido" was Immediately pen alized by the referee.
 But word about one or two inci- dents of the game. The first period went off smoothly, Worcester securing q slight lead of single goal. The second period had no moro than got ten under way when the official SCOT CT of tho amateur league pulled the bell just as Bone drove the ball into the cage. More of gush from the Worcester players was what complao- ent Tommy T.eahy was forced to bear. In this period the home team secured lead of two periods, the score stand Ing 4-2.
 Warner brought the house down at the beginning of the third when he caged ball almost from the spot in four seconds Then he and Bone made another spectacular play when the latter, taking the ball from Fahey and Coggeshall, swung 1t around the Worcester cage right into Warner who drove It past Kid" Sutherland who mado his initial appearance here during tho evening,
