THE ENAr1oNAIGa GAME

Batted All over the Field and Hartford Earns Seven Runs-A New Pitcher Needed Right Away Sw0rback Gives the Heavy Hitters Just she Kind of a Ball They Cam MIt she Hardest-A Pitcher Wanted Who WiM Do an He is Told-FIfteen Hun. dred People See the New Ravens Defeated no 60 4-Amother Game To. Bay.
 If Mr. Sworback, the pitcher of the New Haven base ball team, had been fined about S5o for the game he pitched yesterday it would have been no more than he deserved. MT. Sworback came to New Haven highly recommended by Jim O'Rourke of the New Yorks. There is no doubt that he has in him the making of good pitcher. He lacks one great essential quality, good head. This has been apparent right along. He fails to see the weakness of an opposing bats man. In yesterdays game "GentIe Willie" Murphy made three home runs, simply be- cause Sworback did not do as Manager Spence instructed him to do. Murphy can "kill" high ball, and he did it yesterday. He was sprawling all over trying to hit low ball that Sworback gave him in the last in- ming. It is singular that after he had made one home run Sworback should give him the same kind of ball again. He has also lost much of his speed. He has little control of the ball, not much more than Homer had in Hartford. Yesterday he gave seven men bases on balls, and hit one with pitched ball.
 The game was well contested for four in- nings. The New Ravens felded beautifully. They hit fairly well, but they couldn't hit Winkleman the way the Hartfords were hits ting Sworback. The whole fault was in the pitchers box.
 Has it come to pass when the ereport must go out that the cultured city of New Haven has the worst hoodlum crowd of any city in the league? The way Umpire Nahoney was treated yesterday was perfectly disgraceful, and it casts bad name on the city of New Haven. This kind of treatment should be stopped at once.
 The Game.
 New Haven was retired in one, two, three order. Murphy and Man went out and then Tom Lynch got his base on balls and on Hen. ry's scratch hit got to third. Cahill threw to Fitzgerald to coax Lynch home, but Fitzger- aid made poor return of the ball and Lynch scored.
 In the second inning Brady made fine catch of foul fly. After two men were out Sworbaek by his wildness gave two men their base on balls, but they failed to score. Lally
 
 Lynch, which he tried to scoop up. It hit him on the leg and hurt him so that he had to retire. Mann went to first and Henry Lynch was called off the bench and went to right field. A double play was made and New Haven did not get run.
 The feature of the third inning was the way Sworback caught Henry mapping at first base.
 The fourth inning was notable one. Win kleman made single, and then Murphy lift ed the ball over the right field fence. Henry Lynch got hit with pitched ball. Galligan made magnificent running catch of Henry's fly. Says single sent Lynch to third, and Say stole second. Sworback gave McCabe his base on balls, filling the bases. Forster's safe hit sent Lynch home, but no one else came in, as Winkleman went out on 8 fly to Fitzgerald. Three runs.
 "Gentle Willie" knocked the ball away to the fence in the fourth and got home.
 In the seventh singles by Corcoran and Sheehan resulted in a run.
 Hartford did not stop in the seventh. Fors- ter got in single and gained second on Sworback's wild pitch. He scored on Derby's by Fitzgerald, and Murphy's home run hit to center field brought in three runs. Result, four runs.
 In the eighth New Haven got three runs on single by Walsh, 8 two bagser by Brady, and Lally's sacrifice hit. H. Lynch made three bagger to start off the ninth, but was thrown out trying to get home. Say hit to right field, but Brady saved what looked like a safe hit by getting the ball to first in time to put the runner out. There was great applause over this play.
 Derby and Henry made two difficult catches in the ninth. The score:
