 Haven came up here Saturday after noon with a strong nine and Dunleavy, the left handed pitcher from Bridge port, determined to recover the laurels lost on previoue visit, but it was not on the programme that they should win. and the return trip to New Ha- ven was made with another defeat to its list. The team made a much bet ter showing than on the previous visit, and owing to some damaging errors made by the home team the visitors scored more runs than they ought to have done. One of the features of the game was the batting of Ted Gardner, who secured three safe hits much to the surprise of his many friends on the grounds. The visitors were the first to score, when In the third inning, owing to a couple of hits and some damag ing errors, two runs were scored In the Wallingfords' half of the same in- ming, after two men were out, the local batters got onto Dunleavy's swift curves, and put in several safe hits just when they were needed, and when the third man was put one seven runs had been counted on the score book. The New Haven boys got in three in the seventh, and two more in the ninth on errors, and the Wallingfords scored one in the fourth, but were shut out the last four innings. Dunleavy pitch ed a good game, but was not support ed as he should have been. The um- piring of Frank J. Taylor was all right and there was no kicking done on either side. The score by innings was as fol- loWs
