New Britain, July 22.-The league
 leaders were safely beaten by New
 Britain until the last of the ninth in
 ming when Waterbury made four runs
 and won the game. The New Britain
 team, despite the fact that two local
 players had to be pressed into service
 put up clever article of ball. They did not get many hits off Manley but the team played in excellent luck as Waterburys errors were opportune. Denny Houle was umpire and he had a hard time of it in the last inning. Roger Connor made a hit which brought in two runs, tying the score; instead of running to second base he made it a sort of relay race and ran from first and New Britain put up a strong argu-
 ment to have Roger Connor declared out Houle compromised, however, by sending Joe Connor back to first. The score:
 New Britain 0 8 0 2 0 0-6 Eits-New Britain, 5; Waterbury, 13. Errors-New Britain, 4; Waterbury, 6. Batteries, Walsh and Somers; Manley and J. Connor.
