Eight thousand people were at the Howard
avenue grounds yesterday afternoon and saw
the finest and most exciting game undoubs-
eddy that has been played this season any
where. The Baltinores were the advsr-
saries of the Elm City boys and for fourteen
innings It was nip and tuck. It was
pitchers game from beginning to end with
the odds in favor of Doran, as the visitors
made only two hits and twelve of the batters
were retired on strikes. While Baker was
hit for seven hits he was very effective when
men were on the bases. From first to last
the game kept the huge multitude in fever
of excitement and when Umpire Kelley
called the game on account of darkness at
the end of the fourteenth inning no one
could be found who was not satisfied with
either the decision or the game.
Although the game was not called until
O'Clock, as early as quarter of three the
bleachers were filed to overlooking. The
management had taken great precautions to
have room enough for the crowd, but for
once the space was inadequate for the num-
Der of people who turned out. Ropes were
stretched from the ends of the bleachers
around the field and 1t was not long before
they were being swayed back and forth by
struggling. mass of humanity. From
o'clock the people came In steady stream
and occupied every available spot in order .t to

| the visitors, both at the bat and in the field,
but owing to that article known all over in
base ball as "luck," they were unable to
| score. From the time that Baker retired
l the home team In the first inning on three
balls until the close It was battle of
/ pitchers. Doran knew that the team never
seems to hit Baker, and he also knew
that the people looked to him to
help them out, and right royalty
did our clever little ''south- paw twirler"
send them to grass. Throughout all those
fourteen long innings he pitched phsnom-
email ball and only allowed Baltimore two safe
hits, and both of those were made by Ray,
1 the visitors best batter. To describe the
l of time az well "a room, but suffice 1t to say
that 1t was great game witnessed by great
| crowd, and New Haven still holds great
position, that of 6rst place In the Atlantic
association race.
The two errors made by New Haven were
not at all costly, only the bad throw made
by Terrien might have done considerable
able one, being made after he had made a
long and hard run after the ball.
Lynch In right field covered the garden in
proper style, but had hard luck in his
hitting. To Sohoensok really belongs the
honor Of saving the day. His catch of high
thrown ball by Doyle in the last inning saved
a run and the game. as man was on third

foul fly IN the thirteenth inning, which
won great applause. Lally at center field
played his usual fne game and pulled down
Ave sky scrapers. He led at the bat with a
single and double. "Dan" had chance
to score in the heat of the game, but lost It.
Doyle's work was simply great, and the way
he 10 playing that bag at present would keep
Jerry Denny q guessing. It was great play
of Doyles in the last inning, when he made
q grand stop of Werrick's grass cutter and
recovering himself in time, picked 1t up and
sent II across the diamond like q
rifle shot. Terrien's work outside
of his one error was good. Too much praise
cannot be given to Hofford. This little
catcher, although catching every game right
along, seems to be improving with time.
Every one of his fifteen chances yesterday
was accepted without an error, and he cap
tanned the team in admirable style. Lang'a
work was what It has been right along lately
(excellent), and he found no trouble In COB
bling up everything which came his way. In
fact the whole team put up championship
ball, and all the visitors can do IL to thank
their lucky stars that the game ended as II
| did for them.
