ROVERS WIN

Bridgeport Rovers returned home
from New Haven yesterday afternoon
with a well earned victory over the
New Haven soccer team. Although the
day was an ideal one for soccer, the
game was marred by the loose play
ing of both teams. One of the largest
crowds of the season witnessed the
battle
Bridgeport's superior team play was
responsible for its success. Time after
time the visitors started incessant at
tacks on the New Haven goal Both
teams got into numerous disputes with
the referee over his alleged unfair
decisions.
At the close of the first period the
visitors led by a score of to 1. In
the second half Bridgeport had far the
better of the play in which both
teams doubled their scores.

the conditions that surround it speak
strongly for its success in every way,
not only the coming season, but in
future seasons. If New Haven can so
arrange matters, four of the cities will
be able to play Sunday baseball this
year, and this in itself will do much
towards insuring the financial solidar-
ity of the circuit. All of the clubs
are backed either by strong corpora
tons or individuals of financial
strength, which preclude their being
