The local ball team suffered their second
defeat 70 far this season yesterday. their OPP
ponents this time being the Haekett, Carhart
& 90. ball team. The game was played at
the Howard avenue grounds. II was close
contest and was by far the most exciting one
of the season thus far. It was anybody's
game until the last man was out and ended
2 to 8 in favor of the visitors. Gilliland and
Willis were the battery for the local club.
"Gil" was hit pretty freely and hardly did as
good work as he will do later. Willis did
fairly, bat was weak in throwing and at the
bat. New Haven was quite weak in batting
and they will have to brace up and get their
eye on the ball. They only made Ave hits,
all told, yesterday, three off Tierney and two
off Fricken. All Of the home teams errors
were costly. Schoeneck dropped fly, Doyle
let thrown ball 60 through his legs, and
Gilliland made rank throw to second. Pet
tit played q brilliant second, accepting every
ono of his ten chances without an error.
For the visitors Norehead's stick work was
q noticeable feature. He made four pretty
hits and had q regular masher on "Gil's"
drop. The rest of the team played we'll and
showed by their work that they are no mean
little off on calling balls and strikes, but 1t
was evident that he meant to show no parti-
atty. Taken as whole 1t was good game,
the only setback being the score at the end.
New Haven held their opponents too cheap,
and If they had jumped in and worked hard
at the start tine score might have been differ
ent: As 1t was the visitors played and
outbatted the home team and won victory
that they deserved.
The game started with New Haven at the
bat. They went out in one, two, three Or
der. Tho visitors Jared better in the last
half. After two men had been retired
CANTON got his base on balls. Hammel
then hit safely and sent him to second.
Gilliland tried to catch him off of second
and threw wild into center field. Canton
started for third. Lally threw the ball low
and It went by Doyle and by Gilliland, who
was backing him up. CANTON scored on the
error. Diven got his base on balls but Barry
was retired on an easy grounder from second
to FIRST. New Haven failed to score again In
the next aud so did the visitors. The home
team failed 70 score again in the first half of
the third, but the visitors encirsled the bases
twice. Morshead led off with a single and
stole second. Kraus flew out. Canton
reached first on Schoeneck's error. Hammel
put out from Lang to Schosneck, advanced
them both base, and they came home on
Dlven's cerking single to left field. Barry
few out to Brady.

fourth. Petit was given his base and i'm
mediately took second on Q wild pitch. He

Doyle stole home when Kraus tried to throw
Willis out. The visitors tied the score in
their half. After two men had been
put out Barry reached first. Fricken hit
safely and Barry took third. A funny Incl
dent occurred here. Willis had a short
passed ball and he could not see where it
went to. Doyle ran in from third base to get
1t for him and he could not find it. Barry
scored while they were looking for it, and
Tricken had good chance to but he lost it.
The ball had rolled in back of Willis and
bounded into his cap which was lying on the
ground. This turned the cap over on the
ball and hid It from sight. Some one from
the crowd yelled where 1t was and Doyle
pulled the cap up and discovered It in time
to save run. Frioken scored on an at
tempted put out. In the next New Haven
failed to score, but the visitors added two
more runs. Morehead hit for two bases and
Kraus brought him home with q three
Dagger. CANTON plugged out another
two-bagger and Kraus crossed the
plate. Lang captured Hammsl's grounder
and threw Kraus out at the plate.

one between first and second, however,

It was the last one they got. Lally slammed
out three Dagger. Schoeneck few out to

bags aud the "Adonis" scored Lang few
ont to Barry and Willis struck out. New
Haven made quite bid to tie the score In
the ninth, but failed. Gilliland and Brady
struck out. Mckee was presented with his
base, as also was Petit. Mack Immediately
stole second and third. Lally was at the
bat and how the crowd yelled. "Dan" made
a good attempt but the ball landed in the
right fielder's hands and the game was over.
