New Haven Wins From LOWell-H0r-
ner Pitches n Good Game-Schachern
Shows Up WelI-ChanEes In the Team
A Now Fielder EngAged-DOran and
Sworback Suspended-The Directors
Decide That the Players Will Not
Run tho Team.
The New Ravens and the Lowells played
a very interesting game Observation-Disclosures
ing because the home team braeed up and
played good game. Probably this was be-
cause some of the players had received an
inkling that to earn their salaries hereafter
they must play good ball. They can't lay
around now and do as they please. All the
season the management has been lenient and
the time had come when it was to be decided
whether the management was running the
team, or the players.
Probably the fact that two of the players
had been suspended made the others feel a
little uneasy. This, of course, does not ap-
ply to all the men on the New Haven team.
Of all the pitchers New Haven has had
this season, it can be truthfully said that
Horner has been the most willing worker.
he pitched yesterday, and did well. He is
one of the best pitchers in the league. In
the last three games he has pitched but
twelve safe hits were made off him, an aver
age of four to game. This is fine pitching.
Schachern supported him behind the bat
Yesterday, and his easy manner and willing
ness made q favorable impression on the
spectators. His playing was certainly as
good as the high priced O'Rourke has done.
he made attempts for foul flies that O'Rourke
would never have made an attempt for. He
had only one chance to throw to second, but
threw short. He stopped three wild pitches.
He hit the ball hard, and marvellous catch
by Kellogg robbed him of a hit.
John Corooran didn't appear to be as lazy
as usual, but he didn't dispell the idea from
the spectators that the management could do
better TO use him for cigar sign than as a
third baseman. It has long been mystery
what John Corcoran has ever done in New
Haven to be called a ball player. He covers
no ground, 'sbucks" the ball. as it were, is
| weak in throwing to bases and can't run
| baees. His only strong point is in batting.
Brady didn't have a chance yesterday, SO
| it could not be seen whether he had decided
to play ball OF not. The rest OF the men did
| well.
There probably isn't team in the league
that runs bases in as poor manner as the
New Ravens. It's about time they braced
| up.
Lowell got one run in the first inning on 9
base on balls, followed by two singles. In
the second inning Tenn Corcoran and Shoe
neck got in two good singles. Then Schaeh'
| ern stepped to the plate and was applauded
| He hit the ball and everybody supposed II
| was good base hit. But Kellogg by mar
| velous jump, pulled it down.
In the third New Haven got two singles,
| and failed to score. Schachern here made q
brilliant catch of foul.
| New Haven got two in the fourth on two
bases on balls, a passed ball, avid pitch and
l Schoeneck's sacrifice.
| Lowell could not overcome the lead, al
l they could not hit Horner effectually. In tn.
eighth Lally showed "fne" judgment by be-
| ing caught at first base after he had made
single. Lally should brace up on the bases
Lowell made four hits off Homer, two IL
the first and two in the fifth.
New Haven made two good double plays
