NEWHAVEN REVERSEDIT IT
The Boot Was on the Other
Leg Yesterday Afternoon.
ALMOST As BAp as THURsDAYs

Ted suiiivsn's steers Won Easily From
tho Home oIub-Newark Club win PLAY
Three Games Here Next week-Gams
called at a.3o O'Clock To-day.
Yesterdays game was an overwhelm
ing reverse for Wilmington The score
was 13 70 G In favor Of the visitors This
wasa great surprise 10 those who had
seen the disastrous defeat Of the Nutmeg
State representatives on Thursday.
But iust that very thing Is one Of the
most frequent occurrences In baseball
Tho very best ard strongest League
teams do It very often
To a spectator at the frst game it
looked as though Wilmington certainly
had q license tn defeat the visitors three
etrsights. But it vaa not 30 be. Those
who counted on 3 big addition to the
Wilmington winning account die not
take into consideration the fact that
FRYE. OF the New Haven team. can pitch
Then thore wss the further fact that
Wilmington WAS likely 20 have an oil
day. Yesterday was that day.
Wilmington could get but eight bits
of Frye and those could not be put close
enough together TO do any particular
good. Then the Wilmington players
seemed 30 be unable to keep the ball
down. The majority OF balls that they hit
we're long high flies aud 'Teds' out
lielders. with one or two exceptions, had
scarcely 20 move from their positions TO
get them.
Caunfower.the New Haven left fielder.
had three put outs; Shearer. center
fielder had six. aud keefe, right fielder,
had one
On the other hand, the visitors hits
happened nearly every time, even when
very high. 30 be just beyond the reach OF
the Wilmington players or course there
are those who will say that that was simply
poor judgment on the part OF the local
players. AZ matter OF fact, It was
nothing Of the kind It Was purely a
case OF dead hard luck.
Packard pitched for WILMINGTON for
two innings and part Of the third. In
that time be gave two bases on balls and
hit ore man with pitched ball Eight
hits were made of him, among which
we're a home run, two three base hits aud
three two base hits.
This disastrous showing on the part Of
Packard Ia that short time was one OF
the main factors In the loss Of the game
Amole Was put In his place and he made
3 much better showing. The New Haven
players guyed him al tho way through,
but he never lost his head, and but six
hits we're made off him and but one man
got base on balls
Pitcher 'Foxey" Frye put iup = good
game for the visitors, his stop Of Berry p
hills hot line bali being an exceptionally
clever piece OF ball playing.
Wilmington was frst TO the bat Gal

went TO third on Dfew's hit. aud scored
on Berryhills' out. Newell hled out TO
right Geld. Drew made the hrsu hit, stole
second and scored on McIntyre's hit.
Berryhill went out at FIRST on hot line
ball to pitcher aud Mcintyre went out at
second
New Haven got IN Il at the beginning.
AS Ted sullivan expressed It In the quaint
phrsseology Of the wild and unnamed
West: "rhey played the ace with
another up their sleeve
Catcher Erny" Hodge got a base on
balls Keefe pushed the ball out to left
field for three bases and hodge scored
Shortstop Harry O'Hagsn went out on q
long H. to Spratt Thornton batted out
two hsse hit and Keefe scored. Then
"Colly" came TO the plate, and with the
greatest apparent ease imaginable
knocked out another thrae-bAgger, bring.
ing in Thornton.
Enthusiasm Why tho air Was full OF
&C. Ted" sullivan got of enough OF his
own peculiar Sulllvsnese English 20 start
the whole push In. Everyone wanted tC
see Ted's team win, but 40 one wanted
TO see them do it 50 effectively aud sc
unnecessarily preponderstely as they did.
Boyle knocked out = hot groundsr Just
inside the third base foul line Newell
oleverly stopped it and put out CAuli
flower st third bus meanwhile Boyle had
lesched first
Gilman batted out a single advancing
BOYLE TO second Spratt fumbled the
ball, and had to chase IL for twenty feet
after having once stopped It That gave
Boyle a ohRnca 20 score aud he didn't dc
thing but accept II Shearer got a
base on balls and advanced Gilman q
second, but Frye few out to Montgomery
leaving them both on bases.
The score WAS then two to four New
Haven kept up its lead By timely and
clever hitting and Wilmington's inabil
ity to bit q bail anywhere except int,
the felder's hands.
The visitors played an almost fsuliles
game while the boms team had fg
errors. One Of these, though. that o
Newell. might without being far wronl
have been credited 70 the other side az
hit. Ia the opinion Of many who saw
the play Il Was not an error, and 10 is ad
mitted that toe ball was = hard one 4
get in front Of, being a quick liner onl,
