NANTUCKET FELL
 OUR VICTIM Waterbury Played Star Polo--Re. suits Elsewhere - Some
 Polo Notes.

Good for the loyal fans, who came out in goodly numbers last night and cheered on the polo players, who
 have been up against it for the past few weeks, but who have now started in to regain their lost ground. Good
 for the polo players, who rewarded those who came out to egg them or to victory, by smashing into the win column once more, by defeating
 Pawtucket in a fast and at times
 brilliant game. Good also for Dave Cusick, who once more gave an ex' hibition of goal tending, that sent the fans into the realms of delight and caused them to make every rafter in the Auditorium resound with their cheers. It was a great game, little slow at the beginning
 but so fast in the closing periods that about all the players on both sides were longing for the bell. lt was a well deserved victory and was won by the best team.
 That first period looked bad for us ttimes, for Pawtucket was play ing pretty passing game and our goal was endangered on many occa sions.. Cusick was, kicking and smashing them away from him as they came at hi n in every direction. Every player on the opposing team with the exception of the goal tender had a whack at our cage, and many of the stops were brilliant in the ex- treme. We did not do so much our selves in driving against Heffernan. but occasionally we hammered one against his shin pads and once we dropped one in, but it as quickly dropped. out again. The period end ed with neither side scoring and the fans breathed easier.
 The second period saw the battle royal, though, and we were right iH the middle of it. The tricks and passes of Dicky Pierce and Cunning ham were broken up and we took a turn at hammering a few at Heffer- nan. Seven minutes and fifteen sec onds of the second session had passed, making a total playing time of twenty minutes and fifteen sec onds. when Daly took pass from Loxson, at the corner of the cage, and dropped in the first goal of the game. The game waxed warmer then and nip and tuck went the bat tie. The bell rang with both teams steaming up and> down the rink and fighting to gain the supremacy, with but one goal made in the game.
 The third began speedy, but dimin. ished as the time was drawing to a close. The fast pace had begun to tell and some of the players were ready to quit. After playing a little over three minutes LoXson took one down the rink himself. It was passed to Daly, who re-passed it to Fahey, and that worthy sent it along to Loxson again, who promptly dropped it behind Heffernan, and we had two to our credit. Three min utes and one-half more of biff-bang work had gone by when Daly cap tured another pass and smashed i'll our third and last goal of the night The fans now called for a shut out. but it was not to be. The ball had no more than been in play when Corcoran got it as he came down the rink and smashed the first and only goal of the night for the wis itors behind Cusick. Then came a slower pace. Waterbury simply keep ing their goal guarded and holding the ball out of danger as much as possible. Thus the game ended. The lineup and summary: .... Pawtucket.
