EDGEW0ODS WIN EASILY
ONE-SIDED GIME WITH BAY VIEUs
 YESrERDIT.

Good Catching-Edgcwoods Stronger
 After Reorganizatlon-Ha Good
 Work in the Box-Smith and Carter's
 Good Work for liay Views.
 A one-sided and very slow game of ball was played yesterday at Elm City park between the Edgewoods and the Bay Views. The latter team has been reorganized, and with Brennan of the Bristols as captain and third baseman, expected to give Grlests men d hard game. They did put up a good game for two innings, but after that con- tented themselves with holding down the total of runs, Edgewood winning the game With a. score of F to 6. Smith pitched good, steady game and with little Carter, made a strong battery. A fine chance to get in at least two runs was taken from the Bay Views in the
 third inning when the batter sent up a long foul that was gathered in, retir- ing the side. If that had been turned just foot or two it would have been good for at least two bases. For Edge
 wood, Hamlin, with his find" Leeney
 of Southington, played a good game.
 Leeney Is a good catcher and throws to
 bases well. He is also good with the
 stick. getting several hits to his cred
 it yesterday. His coming should
 strengthen the team materially, as it
 will give Robertson a change and
 rest He has been worked pretty hard.
 The presence of an army of small boys in the grand stand added enthu- siasm and life to the game. They howled, Whistled and jeered so continu-
 ally that they annoyed the handful of spectators and the players. To enliven the proceedings there was side-show during the fifth inning, when a colored boy took exception to another boys comparing sun-burnt legs with him, and scrap resulted as one-sided as the bah game itself. The whole mob took so noisy an interest that they had
 to be rooted off the stand and field. It seems a pity that there is not in- terest enough in the national game in New Haven to get a ball field some where that Is in condition for playing. The Elm City park Is full of hillocks and holes, and the outfield has many places that are full of water for days after rain. Such hindrances cause
 needless errors and keep a team from doing itself justice.
 l In the first inning Captain Brennan
 of the Bay Views hit safely to left | field; McEnroe followed with another to the same place, but Kennedy and Carter were victims of Doe" Hamlin' s delivery Conlan did not know of Rob- ertson's catching ability and sent him a long fly to center, retiring the side with two on bases.
 The Edgewoods in their turn got in three good hits, Cameron and Johnson | securing two-baggers and Leeney a nice, clean one past Quinliven. Gamer on scored on Johnson's hit, and Doc" and Morris Brennan on Leeney's The latter made run number four by a wild throw in from the field

 Kinney his base on balls and hitting l Quinliven. Hamlin fooled Kinney each
 time he came to bat after that, strik- i ing him out, and he also hit Quinliven
 once more. Smith brought Kinney home, and Brennan contrary to his custom, was 'Docs' third victim Me l Enroe lifted the ball to center. where | the wind changed it's direction and 1 Robertson did not get it. Quinliven and 1 Smith came in on that hit, upsetting the Edgewood team long enough for
 Carter to bring McEnroe home to tie | the score. Edgewood failed to score in | the next half, and the same was true of the Bay Views in inning three This inning was the deciding one for Edge wood got a lead of five Hamlin and Brennan got in safe bunts, and Leeney hit safe to right field.

 The succeeding innings were slow and
 uninteresting. The sixth and last run for the Bay Views was when Captain Brennan came in on passed ball. Clean fielding and clean accurata assists by each of the basemen and shortstop,
