Wlnchell. who has played on the New Haven pro- fessionals, was In the box for the visit ors, and the old reliable Casey and Gardner were the home teams battery. The game was won in the last inning by a dropped fly ball by White when two men were out and the score was 3 to in favor of the home team.
