Accident Slips
 Locals A Defeat
Red Williams Makes Two Tn and Out Goals Against Fall
 River In Overtime

By accident, the toughest way to lose any kind of a game. Bridgeport dropped one of the greatest polo games ever played on the Casino floor to Fall River yesterday afternoon. 3 to 2. Two extra periods were neces- sary and strange as it may seem, Bridgeport has in and outg oals in each of them, showing plainly that Widow JinX was out to hand the Marathoners lacing. Williams got both in and out goals and after the second one he felt what was the use because he was outlucked and there was not use in trying.
 He kept after them, however. There was some question about the first in and out. Blount is one of the he is one of the c!everst in the busi- ! ness.

 "Pinkey' Mitchell, Jack Perry, of Pittsfeld, Louis Bogash of Bridgeport, Eddie Fitzzsimmons, who is a top heavy lightweight, and a humber of others are prospective welters of the near future. Britton, the ''Old Master,'' may surprise all corners for 8 while longer.
 The bantamweight class, too, should be productive of plenty of competi- ton now that Joee Lynch has annx- d the title. Lynch's promise to meet all corners was made in all sincerity and, he will not have to pine for op- ponents.

By a score of 35 to 21, thes But Ribbons defeated Norwalk last night at Colonial hall in a game that was highly interesting all the way. The Ribbins jumped into the lead at the beginning and held the pace until the final whistle. but in so doing they were pushed several times by the speedy Norwa1kers-

Holman of the visitors made four field goals, two of them of the spec tacular brand, and one foul goal, net ting nine points for his team.

By defeating the Bengals yester- day afternoon, the Crasho outfit in the City Polo league continued in tie with the Federals for first place in the league race. The game yester- day was a, corker all the way, close and exciting with the game not de- cided until the last few minutes of play. One of the things to mar the games, however, was the frequent times that the game was held up while this man or that man went out of the rink to have his skates fixed up. All the managers are planning better equipment for their teams and in that the followers of the game will be treated to livelier polo.
 Barrett and Bentz proved to be the big offensive weapon for the Crasho quintet. Each tallied two goals, but Bentz had a little misfortune in the second period when he had two in

HIGHER PRICES
 ON GOLF STICKS

Boston. Mass. Dec. 27.-Hisher prices for golf sticks next season is the word which the professional golfers who make them are giving players for discussion at the nine- teenth hole this winter. Shafts and beads alike have advanced, they say. the increased cost of the materials the go1fer-consumer will be asked to pay by the professionals who get the
 parts in the rough and turn them
 into the finished driver or niblick,
 butter or brassie, is certain, but they
 are sure he will pay more than last season.
 Scarcity of hickory is given as the reason for the increased price of shafts. Golf supply houses have men in the field constantly seeking new sources of supply and experimenting g with substitutes but without Appre- ciab1e results to date.
 There is a possibility that the individual experiments of Dr. W. G. Kendall, a local golfer. may develop a substitute in wood used by na- lives on the banks of the Amazon for making bokws and arrows. Dr. A. Hamilton Rice. the explorer, brought ta Dr. Kendall from his recent trip to South America three pieces of
 will make ten or a dozen shafts. The
 wood has a close fibre similar to that i of betha-berra from which expensive 1 fishing rods are made. Dr. Kendall. who has tried osage orange wood from Texas, green heart from New l York state and other varieties as 1 substitutes for hickory, intends to try 1 out several shafts of the new wood, i in hopes that it will prove available.
