Honors were about even between
Meriden and New Haven yesterday as
result of the double-header. New
Haven played at Meriden in the morn
ing and was defeated by the score OF
1878 Meriden played here in the after
noon and was defeated by the score OF
6-3 Both games were attended by rep
reeentative Labor day gatherings; and
at the game here over 1000 people wit
messed the contest.
AT both games tombstone umpired
and succeeded in giving universal dis
satisfaction. In the afternoon game he
persisted In calling for new balls every
time the one in play went over the
fence, to the great annoyance of the
home management and in spite of the
fact that they are only called upon to
furnish two new balls in each contest,
unless the ball in play is rendered unfit
for use. His decisions on balls and
strikes We're those of an amateur, but
because Theisen, Meriden's first base
man, questioned one instance he fined
him S.

this fact it is doubtful if they would
have won the game, as the last six
innings were Clearly f1elded and snappily
played by Meriden. New Haven went
into the game with determination,
though, and held it throughout the
nine innings. The .inf1eld seemed full of
ginger and played with much spirit,
Parent and Glenn especially making
number of difficult assists. The former
accepted eight and the latter seven
chances without an error Davis made
two of New Ravens errors, but both
We're excusable, one being made on
Luchia's careless throw to second after
the man on first had been forced off
by the batter getting his base on balls.
The pitchers, Macdonald and Magee.
We're both in fine shape and well match
ed. Eight hits were made off the latter
and seven off the former. Mcdonald
gave four bases on balls and Magee
three, while each struck out one. The
home team punched it's hits more than
the visitors and kept the fielders bu-
siet.
Wiley was the first to score for New
Haven. Getting his base on a single, he
made his third on a wild throw by Deal
Parent was hit by a pitched ball and
stole second. Davis brought the for
mer home by pretty single, and Glenn
scored both Parent and Davis by a
three-bagger. In the second inning Luz
CHA made first on Cusick's error and
second on McDonald's sacrifice, which
was made cafe on second error by
Cusick. These errors We're the only
ones made by Meriden during the game
Dorsey scored both with a two Dagger
and made home himself later on Wiley's
single.
Meriden scored her first two runs in
the second inning. Theisen singled and
made second on Dorsey's error Buck

knocked a grounder to Wiley and was
put out at first. but in the meantime
