 The Meriden Amaranths came down here Saturday afternoon with Maloney, an imported Hartford pitcher, and Gun shannon, another Capital City profes- sional. determined to win the game at all hazards. The Wallingfords present. ed the same team as last week, with Casey and Gardner as the battery. The Meriden ball players went home bad ly beaten lot of ball players, and the Wallingfords now lead the league with 0 score of two games won and no de- feats, Ihe weather was not specially adapted for good ball playing, as when the game was called it was raining and the grounds were wet There were a l few dashes of rain during the game, | but not enough to stop the game. For | five innings the game was close and ex- | citing, the score at the beginning of | the sixth inning standing two runs 1 each. In the last half of the sixth in- ming the local team got on to the Mer- | idens imported pitcher. Casey started the ball rolling by hitting safe for one | base, and God" Taylor came up to the | bat smiling and lined out the ball for | three bases, Casey scoring a run. Me- | Guire, George Gardner and Rundle hit l for bases, and before the third man was out six runs had been scored and the game was practically won. In the seventh inning the Meridens had three men on, bases and no one out, but Cas- ey settled down to business and the next three map were retired in short order. Owing to the wet grounds and l slippery ball the fielding was not as l fine as a week ago, but the home team did heavier batting and scored more runs The Silver City men were una | ble to hit Casey's curves. The latter, like wine, improves with age Ted l Gardner. and, in fact, the whole team, played a great game. The score by in- nings is as follows:
