Newark People Say of the New Ha-

NEWARK, July 20.
Especial to the CoUa1ER.l
"You did WE'LL" said many persons to the
New Haven team this afternoon, "to win
that game with Hopkins as umpire" It was
something terrible to see the base decisions
he made. Every close one went to Newark,
and also many that were not close. If ever
man was riled it was Burdock, and he had
every reason to be- 1t was only by the best
of playing that we won, as the odds were two
to one against us.
The game was one of the most stubbornly
contested ever seen in Newark. Sworbaek
started in to pitch, but retired at the end of
the Second, as his shoulder was lame and he
didn't have good command of the ball.
Doran took his place. Although he pitched
yesterday, his work in the box to-day was of
q very high order. For six innings he held
the home team down to two safe hits.
Manager Trott put Miller in the box against
us and the New Ravens batted him out of
the box in three innings. Then Dooms took
his place and he, too, pitched finely, holding
the New Ravens down to two hits in six
innings.
In the second inning of Saturdays game
Coogan tried to steal third. Cahill made a
quick throw and Corcoran stood waiting for
the runner. But Coogan ran at least five
feet out of the base line and should have
been out for that. He even went further,
out. 'sNay," said Hopkins. Then Burdock
said he didn't intend to be robbed of another
game by this man. Not a person who saw
the decision thought but what it was out.
Hopkins said he would umpire no more,
and Burdock said he hoped he wouldn't.
Finally Leo Smith persuaded him to go on
again, but he didn't call Coogsn out just the
same. Doran's pitching was very effective
at critical points.
About 500 people saw the game. In talk
ing with the Newark players they say on,
team is playing the best ball of any. team
that has been here. They say that If We had
had this team at the commencement of the
season we could now be near the top. The
people say we have played the two hardest
season.
The Hartford people are looking for the
pennant. They have made several changes
in the last few days. Third Baseman Say
| hit Manager Henry for fnipg him, and II
| consequence he was fined 5000 and suspend
| ed. Joe Farrell, formerly of the Baltimores
has signed to play short, and Foster went tt
third base. To-day Kennedy was signed t.
| play left field, and Tom Cunning as q catch
err The latter is better man than eithe
Derby or Moolic. Hartford has Eve pitch
ers, but they are being hit hard All in all
New Haven has the best lot of pitchers IL
the league. Their only fault is in giving
/ men bases on balls.
The New Ravens have signed JOSEPH
Schaehern. catcher, who was with the New
Orleans club until the Southern league dis
banded. Manager Chapman, of Syracuse
| was after him.
New Haven people should be proud of tn
work done by their team so far on this trip
We have played Eve games and won two o
them. Hartford has played six games ant
only won one. So far the New Ravens hsv
done the best work on the western trip o
any OF the eastern clubs.
