| In the Bridgeport-NeW Haven game
| at the Rock yesterday afternoon with
the score a tie in the eighth inning
| Manager "Jim" ORourke saw his in
field go to pieces and two winning runs
cross the plate for his opponents. 1t
was certainly hard lines for Jim" to
see a possible victory snatched so
rudely from his grasp, but he took his
defeat philosophically, doubtless finding
consolation in the fact that the final
score was only 10 to s.
The visitors made a poor beginning
or else the tale might have been diff
ferent one, Garoni pitched for the first
three innings, after which he was re-
placed by Doherty. During the brief
period he was in evidence he was
touched up for nine safe hits, of which
two were three-baggers and one two
Dagger. He also managed to give two
bases on balls. Doherty, who replaced
him, was not very steady but he man
aged to hold his opponents down to
three safe hits, giving but one base
on balls
For New Haven Mcdonald pitched the
game. He was a trifle unsteady at
times, which accounted for Bridgeport's
total of twelve safe hits.
The makeup of the home team was
poor, Parent playing second, Glenn
shortstop and Bagley third, but aside
from two bad errors by Wiley the field
ing was well up to the standard.
Bridgeport's first baseman also had an
off day and made three errors.
Bridgeport scored two OF her runs in
the first inning. 'O'Rourke's ree-bag-
ger bringing home Day. who got his
base on balls. and he himself scoring
on an outfield fly. They did not score
again until the fifth inning when Do
herty's tWo-bagger was responsible for
two more. One run in the seventh in
ming made the score five with New Ha-
VEINS score eight. In the next inning
Kennedy made a three Dagger with two
men on bases and got home himself on
Wiley's poor throw This tied the score
and interest in the game increased con-
sideraby. The rooters suddenly began
to get in their work, and from COM
monplace exhibition the contest grew
quite exciting. The visitors were I'M
able to score another run though and
@.
Bagley led at the bat for New Haven
and fyed out to Ivers Derwin next up
knocked a little bounding grounder
down the field to Yale at first base, who
let it go through his legs, while the
crowd yelled. Mcdonald stood up to
sacrifice and was hit in the back with
the ball. Freddy Parent then stepped
to the bat and filled the bases with
nice single. The rooters yelled louder,
and standing up in their seats waved
their arms and prayed for one single. |
Lawlor stepped 20 the plate. Two
strikes were called upon him, when he |
met the ball squarely. Down the field it |
flew to Yale at first base while the
crowd gave groan. Striking his glove
1t rebounded 20 the middle of the dia-
mond, While Derwin crossed the plate
for another run and Lawlor was safe
on first
Yale, in rage, picked UP the ball
and threw it fieroely down again, but
not so recklessly but what Doherty
picked it up in time to see that no more
runs were scored. Luchia next went to
the bat and knocked hot grounder to
Doherty. into his hands it bounded and
out again, and amid the yells of the ex-
llting ''rooters" Mcdonald made the
asst run.
In the last inning O'Rourke was the
only man who got hit. Yale struck
out and Rogers and Kenendy went out
IN flies. The score:
New Haven
