YESTERDAYS BALL GAMES


New London Beaten In the Second
Game After Eleven innings of Good
Piaying-Noryieh and Bridgeport
Won Their tanmcs- Other Games.
New Haven won double header from
New London yesterday afternoon at the
Savin Rock grounds, the first game
coming easily by the score of to 8
and the second game coming hard by
K the score of 4 to after eleven innings
Of good playing by both teams. Game
number one looked as thoughgit would
be farce at the outset. Morton,
fielder, started in to pitch and he gave
Battam, Caravan, Cuslck and trell
bases on balls. At this juncture Nam
ager Hernon substituted young Ernie"
Wade of this city Gallagher, who
started In right field, was taken out,
Hernon taking his place. Morton went
to center field and the game started
again.
Wade was given the glad hand as he
entered the box and his pitching was
very creditable. He was hit freely In
the third and fourth innings when three
runs We're scored on six hits including
a three Dagger by Freil. After the
fourth inning not a hit was made off
the youngster, which would be fine
showing for any pitcher. He kept the
New Haven batters popping UP flies
and knocking easy grounders to the In
field and he was frequently applauded
during the game. Battam was mark
for little Wade and three out OF the four
times he faced him he was struck out.
Battam got as mad asa we hen the
Battam got as mad as wet hen the
hts bat down in disgust, greatly to the
amusement of the spectators.
Vollendorf established a fine record
yesterday as he pitched and won both
games He finished stronger than he
began and the last four innings of the
second game he had the Whalers COM
pletely at his mercy. They went over
the plate like creased lightning and
were untouchable. His record is a
State league one and will probab bly, hold
for the season.
Another feature of the game, and one
that was pleasing sight to the eye
was the all around playing of Morton
fielding, batting, base running and
throwing formed a combination that
has been seldom equalled at the Savin
Rock grounds. He hunted beautifully
and some of his catches in the field
were hair raisers. Cusick planted one
out in left center in the eleventh in
ming that had three bases written all
over it, but it was nipped by Morton
after magnificent run. Norris also
played a good game for his team.
New Haven couldn't get a man
around in the second game until the
seventh inning, when Freil scored on
base on balls and two hits. The score
then stood to | in favor of New Lon
don and when New Haven took their
bats In the ninth 1t looked rather dark
for a victory F'itzmaurice singled.
stole second, went to third on Freil's
short hit and both scored on Morton's
throw to third base after catching
Duffs long fly. Nobody was near the
bag and the ball went into the bleach
ers. Vollendorf closed the inning on a
short infield hit to Delaney. Neither
teams scored in the tenth, but in the
eleventh after New London went out
in one, two, three order, the Blues got
at it again. Fitzmaurice went to first
on Nyce's error and Immediately stole
second. Freil then polxed a short one
to Humphrey, who would have put the
batter out had Nyce had the ball Nyce
got mad at his rank error and while he
was saying things, Fitzmaurice scooted
home with the winning run. Harry
