Very little spectacular playing was shown by the home team during the evening but the visiting quintet certainly put up a stellar exhibition when it came to passing

 Harper, the visiting goal tender, put up one of the best games in the cage seen here this year and saved Bridge port from a crushing defeat when the drives of Warner and Bone crashed up against his shin pads, only to rebound out of harms way.
 For the locals Warner played ex- eeedinsly we'll capturing eight of the ten rushes from "Ted" Lewis, who at the present time Is striving hard to lead the league in this respect But when it came to getting around on the floor and being everywhere George Bone could not be beat The local second rush played one of the hard est games he has ever put up and if the rest of the team hadn't been a it- tie off color" the score would un- douhtedly have been slightly different. Fifty-hve seconds after the whistle blew Jimmy Canayan, the eX-New Haven ball player drove one by "Fido" sutton, starting the scoring of the evening.

But his goal ended the scoring on the part of the visitors On q difficult pass Frank Warner succeeded in breaking the ico for the home team. Tn the second period the local first rush was again responsible for all the scoring on the part of the home team. He was aided materially however, by George Bone, who fooled the Bridgeportcrs on number of be- caslons.
