SCHIFFER IS FAST
Boneyards' Rusher Responsible for McMahons Rough Rid
 ers' Defeat.
DOHERTYS RULING POOR
Tigers Stop Their Sliding by Defeating the Grays-Dumplings Win
 from Hub Team.

Shiffer's marvellous agility and re- markable accuracy in catching passes alone saved the Boneyards from defeat at the hands of McMahon's Rough Rid CTS last night in a game in which the players, uncontrolled by Referee De- herty, continually held, pushed and tripped each other at will Doherty's s inability to control the players almost caused a pending climax to appear above the horizon of pity.
 The visiting aggregation started in like a windstorm on a dessert, whirl- ing about destroying every method which was devised to calm its unbear- able and ill-foreboding progress. Hig- gins. the crack little first rush, the lit- tie wonder on skates was very effective during this period of local disaster. The Waterbury star starting from his own cage would gradually develop a line of offense which. owing to its great velocity could hardly be even momentarily stopped. During one of these periods of bis lightning travels down the rink during the earliest days of the contest, Higgins swept the ball to Jason who finding hole between Mullen and edge of the iron cage, lifted the rubber past our nightly guardian of the danger zone for the first goal oi the battle.
 After the first five minutes of play ! the New Haven defense started to de. velop. Higgins would as usual start down the rink, but as to getting fur ther than half way was impossible Farrell sometimes blocked him while Woods would take the ball from hin and send it down towards Cusick. The advantage which Waterbury at frs had gradually diminished and ther turned Bones way. Schiller caged two pretty goals before the first period closed giving New Haven the lead
