Batting the Feature.
Although Hartford had polished the New
Ravens off nicely on Thursday, yet not one
of the ], 900 people who saw yesterdays game
was sorry for being present. Each one felt
that he had seen the New Ravens play bril-
liant gams-one, that is never, in fact, sur
passed, in point for all around brilliancy of
playing, by any team. Manager Henry was
kept busy singing lullabys to the daisies that
grow in center field, as he saw his team being
hopelsssly defeated.
Doran pitched for the home team, and the
visitors couldn't touch his twists and curves.
Several times when men were on bases q bit
meant two runs, but the visitors couldn't hit
the ball safely. Their only run was gift, and
was forced in on base ON balls. Doran is
very effective of late against all the teams.
Brady was the hero of the day. His great
running catch in the first inning retired the
side with the bases full. He was on the dead
run, and with his arms stretched ont at full
length caught the ball on the tips of his fin
gers. No one supposed he had 1t, and two
Hartford men had already crossed the plate.
When it was seen that he chung to the ball
the applause was tremendous.
Schoeneck and John Corcoran batted the
ball with reckless disregard of "Phenome-
nal" Smiths feelings. Tom Corcoran and
Burdock played phenomenal game, as did
every man on the New Haven team. They
were out for blood on account of the defeat
the day before.
Smith pitched good game for Hartford
and kept the hits well scattered. Derby
saved several wild pitches.
McCabe's work at second was first-class.
Kennedy is already favorite here. He field
who could fathom Doran's curves.
The New Ravens started in well and al
though they generally lose when they get
ahead in run.getting, they turned the tables.
Tom Lynch muffed Forster's throw and
Brady was safe. O'Rourke and Burdock sac
ri6ced. Lally's cracking two-base hit sent
Brady home. John Corcoran put the ball
among the carriages and took two bases, Lally
scoring. Galligan flied out to Kennedy.
Hartford got one run which they never
should have scored, all on account of a bad
bound which the ball took. Tom Lynch
was cared for, Burdock to Schoeneck. Mann
was given his base on balls. Then Henry
hit to Tom Corcoran, but the ball struck
something and the ball bounded over his

Henry was forced at second. This should
have been three out but for that unfortunate
bound. Then Doran filled the bases by CIV
ing Say his base on balls. Everybody look
ed surprised when he forced in a run by Civ
| ing Forster his base. McCabe hit a short q
over second that nine hundred and ninety
| nine times out of Thousand would have
been safe. Brady strained every nerve

liant play by jumping high in the all, pulling
down Rradys throw and putting Derby out.

hard hit grounder. Schoeneck made hil
