 A Comedy of Errors" was presented at the Savin Rock baseball grounds yesterday afternoon, the dramatis per-
 sona being the members of the town
 governments of Merlden and water- bury. The comedy was not the produce
 tion of the immortal Shakespeare. but | was a travesty on the national game of
 baseball It was the third and de
 cisve game between these two teamA
 and as such was played on neutral
 grounds. Each team had won one game
 previous to that of yesterday, and
 consequently the contest was foI | blood.
 The Silver City team easily defeated
 their Brass City antagonists by a score
 of Il to ?. the Waterbury team only suc- | ceeding in scoring by the merest chance "a long hit by Hoolihan in the last | inning. The game, well 1t was not 8 brilliant exposition of the beauties and
 intricacies of the national game, but still 1t was amusing to the large num- Der of spectators, and all voted 1t tho
 most exciting game ever played on the
 local grounds. Errors were plentifuL
 and each member of the Waterbury
 team evidently tried to outdo tha nf fhar tS, hNv lao, pile up to their credit or discredit. The Silver City team played like pros fessionals, and batted the ball hard, evi> dently caring nothing for the feelings ot the two Brass City pitchers whom they succeeded In knocking out of the box
 The game was only continued through. out six innings, the players of both teams by that time deciding that 1t was better to enjoy the sumptuous re- past which had been prepared for them at the Beach house by the members of
 the local town government.
