Naugatuck Saturday afternoon to con- I
test with the local team. A representa-
tive of this paper was selected as one of
the umpires, and ex-Manager Squlres
the other. The game up to the sixth
inning was a finely contested one, neither
side having advantage. At this point
the umpire selected by the Brass City
team gave a decision which seemed to
excite the irritable nature of Pitcher
Neary and he strongly objected to con-
tinuing the game until the umpire was
removed. This the Brass Citys refused
to do unless the both umpires were taken
off. Manager, captain and general
kicker Neary refused to acceed to this.
Umpire Squires supported the first UNI
pire in his decision. The first baseman
of the Naugatucks, who stood near the
position where the disputed point was,
also conceded with the Waterbury UNI
pire. Neary, however, refused to allow
bis team to play and the game was
given to the Brass City team by the
score of to 0. At this point "A gang of
hoodlums, who are a disgrace to the
| town, set up a hooting and yelling that
would discount Il tribe of Indians. The
better people who attended the game
| went away Disguised. The members of
| the Waterbury team were followed to
| the hotel by the crowd of ruffians and
their yells were continued outside and
| played his crankineSS and unfairness by
refusing to pay over the guarantee of
S15 made to the Brass City team. 1t is
possible, however, that before the mat
ter is settled it will cost the Naugatucks
few dollars more than S15.
A party who witnessed the game in
Naugatuck Saturday has this PROPOSE
ton to make to Manager Neary of the
Naugatucks He will select four teams
from Waterbury, no man to play in but
one team, and he will back them against
the team put in the field by the Manga
tucks Saturday, for 500, best two out
of three games. He will play the four
teams, each team playing one game
against the Naugatucks and wager that
he will win three out of the four, or he
will take odds that he wins the four
games.
In the game in Bristol Saturday with
the :. Plainvilles, Jim Fitzgerald and
Charley Egan were in the points. Jack
Frenzy and John Fitzgerald played with
the Bristol team. The score stood 5 to
two men out and two strikes on the last
man. Then the Plainvilles took on a
batting streak and made three runs,
tying the score. The game was then
called because of darkness.
Manager Neary of the Naugatucks
was in this city this morning trying to
straighten out matters with Manager
Bergin of the Brass City team. No
satisfactory settlement was made. The
Naugatuck manager also tried to ar.
range a game with Manager Becton OF
the Acmes, to be played in Naugatuck,
but the latter manager would make no
arrangements unless the game would be
played here and for $50 to 500 side.
