The first home game Of the season
opened at the Savin Rock grounds yes
terday afternoon. The day was a poor
one, but despite this fact, between 300
and 400 of the cranks assembled to see
the start off. The exhibition OF the
home team was rather poor on the
whole. and they were defeated with
comparative ease, Waterbury repeating
its victory Of the day before. Connor' S
men showed themselves to be good
class of bali players and despite the
comments of the crowd played good
clean game.
AS usual the pitchers came in for the
most criticism. Reilly in the box for
New Haven pitched an erartic game.
His work was direct contrast to Man
ley, the Waterbury pitcher. Although
he struck eleven men out, he allowed
sixteen men their bases giving twelve
their bases on balls and hitting four.
His chief fault seemed to be lack of
control and it would not be at all sur
prising. Judging from yesterdays game,
if he remedied this in a short time.
Manley's record was three strike outs
and one base on balls.
The game opened with Waterbury
at the bat. She retired without scoring.
Parent, first up for New Haven, was
put out on first. Duffy, the next bat
ter, found his base on balls With Ashe
the next man up, at the bat, Duffy
made pretty steal and got second
Ashe was retired on fly but Duffy
made third. Two men We're now out
but Derwin made pretty single and
Duffy brought in the first run for New
Haven. Hayes was at the bat, but
pretty throw by Corcoran nailed Der
win on his run to second, and made
the third man out.
Reilly struck two men out in the next
inning and also put the third man out
by catching little pop fly. In the
next inning, the second and last run
for New Haven, was made by Hayes,
who found his base on balls.

Conner, after getting his base on balls,
succeeded in bringing in the first run
for the visitors. In the next inning
Waterbury secured her lead over the
home team and from that on seemed
to have it all her own way In this
inning, with three men on bases, a
clean hit just over the head of Ashe on
first base brought two of them home.
The sixth and seventh innings, how
ever, witnessed some clean playing on
both Sides and Waterbury did not score
again until the eighth. This inning
seemed fraught with disaster to the
home team. Prentice started off for
Waterbury with two-base hit, maxi
ing home soon after on a clearly placed
hit by Hanscomb Beneditti, next up
struck out, and following him Fitzpat-
rick was put out on a clearly caught fly
by Derwin In center field.
1t was here, with two men out that
Reilly pitched his poorest, and Conner
and Corcoran, next up, got their bases
on being hit by the ball. Three men
were now on bases and Herman, step
ping to the bat, brought them all home
by making one of the prettiest hits of
the game. Manley. the next batter,
struck out and the inning closed with
four, more runs to the credit of the Wis
itors. Neither side scored in the last
inning and the game closed with the
score: Waterbury T. New Haven 2. The
score:
