line baseball game between the Bay
views OF New Haven and the Walling-
lords ON the Colony street grounds
saturday afternoon was one of the most
peculiar contests ever witnessed in this
town, as the pitchers Of both teams
seemed to be unable to get into good
gear and control the delivery of the
ball. The game started off auspiciously
Tor the local team, who scored two runs
IN the first and the same in the second
inning, when the visitors went in to bat
in the second inning. Welch, Walling
lords pitcher, seemed to lose all con-
troll Of the ball and was unable to get
ball over the home plate and in con-
sequence the bases We're soon filled and
three more sent home without a ball
being batted. AT this stage of the
game De Mills went into the box and
the first man up went to his base on
balls and another run was scored. At
ter one more run was scored the side
was finally put out In the third in
ming Downey went in to pitch, but he
also was wild and more runs were
scored. Welch went in the box in the
fifth inning and though wild at times
kept the visitors from scoring and only
two safe hits We're made in the last
five innings. The New Haven pitcher
was also uncertain in his delivery and
gave several men their bases on balls.
The home team did some fine batting in
the fifth and sixth innings and tied the
score 10 to 10. In the eighth they
scored five runs by good batting and
the visitors got two. The game ended
with a victory for Wallingford by a
scoreof Is to -.
