 The game of baseball played at Savin
 Rock yesterday afternoon between
 hines composed of members of the New
 Haven and Bridgeport bluecoats was
 won by the Bridgeports by the score
 l'-n The game was witnessed by a
 crowd of about 5000 persons and for
 five innings was one of the best games
 seen in New Haven this season.
 New Haven went to bat first and
 Doherty, the first man up, flied out to
 third. He was followed by Lawler,
 who got first on balls. Hayes also
 managed to get first base Lautenbach,
 who explained the team, struck out,
 but St. Clair, who followed him, hit
 out beautiful three- bagger, which
 brought Lawler and Hayes home.
 Egan, the next man to bat, struck out,
 retiring the side and leaving St. Clair
 on third.
 Bridgeport was not, however so for
 tunate in the first inning and went out
 in one-two-three order. New Haven
 did the same in the first half of the
 second, but Bridgeport in the latter
 half of this inning seemed determined
 to get a score and they got it. Cam pana started out by getting a base on
 balls, but in trying to steal second was
 thrown out, Doughan to Lawler. But Burns made a safe hit and reached first, the first man to get a plate in the inning. Williams hit to Doughan in the box, but on a wild throw of his Burns got safely around to third and Williams anchored on third. Golden rapped a grounder to Doughan, who did not find it in time. With bases full Larkins hit an easy one to St. Clair, bringing Burns home. Sanger was hit by the ball and was given first, but Hackett struck out and the side then took the field.
 In the third New Haven made one run, but the Bridgeport coppers had de- cided not to allow the home team to keep the lead longer, and in their half of the third tallied four runs. Blans- field started the ball rolling with a hree-bagger, and Redgate got his base on balls. Campana also found tfg sphere and hit to near outfield. Blans- field had an idea that he could get home and started there, but was thrown out at third. Burns hit lady ball to 'Doughan, who stopped it and threw to the plate, catching Redgate there Golden took a base on balls, crowding Campana in for a score. On a wild pitch both Burns and Williams scored Golden also came in on Larkin's safe hit, but Sanger hit to Lautenbach, who threw Larkins out at first. The score was then 5 to in favor of the Bridge ports.
 New Haven failed to do business in the fourth and Bridgeport also took nap. Both sides were out for blood, however, in the fifth. Doughan of the home team got base on balls and stole second on a passed ball. Doher- tvs fine two-bagger brought Doughan home Lawler struck out. but in the meantime Doherty stole to third and reached home on an error by Golden, who held down third bag for Bridge port. Lautenbach then did a quick piece of work. He reached first on balls, stole second and got home on St. Clair's hit to left field. Egan retired the side by striking out.
 Bridgeport came to the bat with de- termination. Burns took up the bat with good intentions, but hit to St. Clair, who caght him at first. Will Hams, however, followed up with a two-bagger and was brought over the home marble by another two-bagger by Golden. Good hits then followed fast. Larkins got a safe hit, as did also Sanger, and Golden scored while St. Clair was trying to find the ball. l Hackett struck out but Sergeant Red gate hit out two-bagger, which ena- bled Blansfeld to get run, with San ger following close behind for another 1 Redgate was finally forced off third by Burns hit and was put out by Lauten- bach.
 Only Connolly scored in the eighth for i New Haven. At the end of the first | half of this inning the score stood 10 to | in favor of Bridgeport, but as in the first game of the series New Haven won by 12 to the visitors desired to | at least get an equal score in their fa- vor, so as the game at Bridgeport was q six-inning one they went to the bat for their half of the sixth, which it was would be the last inning. They succeeded In not only making the score the same as that by which they were defeated in the first game, but went five better and when the game closed, before the sixth inning had end- ed, the score was II to in their favor.
 The features of the game from New Haven standpoint were St. Clair's and Lautenbach's great work on third and also his base run ming. Doughan pitched for New Ha- ven with very good success until the sixth inning, when his place was taken by Lautenbach, who in turn retired from the box in favor of St, Clair.
