 The Co G base ball nine met with it first defeat Saturday at the hands of thu T. A. B. nine of Wallingford. It Wal and it was not defeat. Usually the visit ing team is entitled to the choice of um pire. In this case. however, the Walling lords had different opinions and conse quently the manager of the team Wa placed behind the bat as umpire ant another native of Wallingford wa placed in the field as umpire for tn bases. To say that the decision sof Man ager Paden were rank is putting i mildly. From the very first it was seer what roasting they did get! Even tn Wallingford players themselve were disgusted at the unfriendly treat ment the Waterbury boys received When asked why such a state of affair was allowed the answer would invari ably be, we'll Waterbury has the reputa tion of using visiting teams harshly an' we are only giving her boys a dose o the same medicine. So disgusted wer the Waterbury players with the deci sions of the umpire that, although the, played the game out, they were not il , it. Only three hits were made off Gar . mody, who retired from the box at tn seventh inning, allowing Begley t finish it out. Waterbury can feel prou! that she has team of men who, thougl getting terrible roasting, were willin } enough to stand up and take their medi cine like men. An offer was made tn team to play for $50 side by Co ( packer, but no takers were found. Tha offer still remains open if the Mailing ford nine wish to accept it. The SCOT at the close of the game was 12 to 5.
