New Haven defeated the Columbus team
of the American association ON the Howard /
avenue grounds yesterday afternoon by
score of to 8. Tie home team took the
lead In the FIRST inning and held 1t until the
end of the game. though the visitors came
near winning 1t out toward the end As
ball game it was little more than farce, as
the Columbus players tried to make the spec
tators think they were simply playing with
the home team and could go in and win If
they wanted to. But If their playing yester-
day Is q sample of American association base
ball the local management are to be eongrat-
ulated upon the team they have here and for
having a team represented in the Atlantic
association instead of in the American.
The visitors acted as though they were play
ing with lot of amateurs, but all the credit
that can be given them is that they are max
ing big bluff at the game. They are evil
IDENTIFY trying to make people believe that
they are team OF stars, and can get along
on their reputation, but 1t is nothing more
than q case of swelled heads all around.
They have altogether too much mouth for
their own good, and this Is undoubtedly the
reason of their losing so many games of late.
For big lot of "muekers" they take the
whole bakery, and it is hoped that the local
It'll <,f,xo
American association base ball for the pres
emit, at least.
Thomas Reilly of the Meriden Journal
oaiciated as umpire and, we'll, no matter how
he umpired, suffice to say that he made an
attempt at umpiring anyway. With all due
respect to Mr.. Reilly's ability as journalist
the COURIER begs leave to state once more
that he was never made for a base ball um,
pire. The Columbus players, however, tried
to make his decisions look worse than they
really were by continually kicking, and they
succeeded in their attempts.
Gilliland pitched fairly good game for
the home team, but was trihs unsteady at
times. On the whole, however, he did well,
and had he been less nervous he would have
done better. The home team on the
whole put up q fine fielding game
and made three very brilliant double
plays. Pettee as usual showed up in fine
form and accepted all of his eight chances.
Lynch made pretty running catch and put
the ball over the right field fence in the first
inning for pretty home run. Schoeneck
set the crowd wild by bunting the ball and
beating 1t to first and on another occasion
| when he tried to cut off second base. Nc
Kee played his usual good game. He made
three steals, three runs and two hits. Lally
made two great catches while running in and
hit the ball over the carriages in left field.
| He could have easily made home run out OF
the hit but for some reason or other he stood
on third for an instant and then tried to
make home but he was thrown out. The
rest of the team played good ball and had nc
trouble in holding their end up.
| For the visitors Wheelock did the best
work. Lehane's work at first was very clean
and neat, but he spoiled it all by his talk. J.
Doyle, "Connie's" brother, made the longest
hit for his team, three-baser over McKee's
head, but he did nothing else very brilliant.
The work of Easton can be duplicated by
most any pitcher in this association, and
New Haven will have nothing to fear ii they
join the American association next season.
