 l If there is anybody in New Haven who can explain why it is that New Ha- | ven can't play ball against Derby in | the way the game should be played he would be conferring a great favor on thousands of wondering fans if he would publish this unchronicled cause. Yesterday afternoon the two teams met at Savin Rock in game which was played before 4,000 people, and it was the same article of bali the Blues put up against Denny's men as they have in nearly every game with that team this season. They lost the after , noon game by the score of 12 to 4, and it was not in any way due to good playing that New Haven got man | across the plate. Pitcher Latimer, the Massachusetts school teacher gave an exhibition of wildness in the last two innings of the game that has never been equalled in this city. and but for this uncalled-for generosity New Ha- ven would have gone down before the
 great home crowd by the score of F to 0. The pedagogue sent eight men to first in these two innings, and, With a
 hit thrown in, they were only able to
 score two runs in each,
 The way the New Haven cranks
 turned out was most pleasing, espe-
 cially to Manager Canavan, and by 3
 o'clock forty-fve minutes before the
 game began, both bleachers were pack
 ed and the grand-stand was also well
 filled. The crowd poured in the two
 gates, and after every seat and inch of
 standing room were occupied the spec
 tators began taking to the fence. The
 game began with line of men on the
 left-field fence that resembed row of
 crows The rope extending down to the
 New Haven dressing room from the
 end of the right field bleachers was
 lined six or seven deep. In front Of the
 club house and under the trees in right
 field were seated fully two thousand
 people, and standing up along the foul
 line in left field were three or four hum
 dred more. Away down In deep lett
 field, against the fence, was another DE
 bunch and there were clusters of cele-
 orators lined at different intervals
 against the center field fence. With
 the great crowd to cheer the team on,
 it was a pity that they couldn't have
 got together and wiped the field with
 the Derbyites but instead they let the
 visitors walk all over them. Ramon
 twlrled for New Haven and was touch- ed up for thirteen hits, with total or twenty. This number might have been reduced with good fielding, but on three occasions the ball dropped safe back of the base lines with three or four men running after 1t and wondering who would take it. Fitzmaurlce let a fly get away from him in the fifth that would have retired the side, and after the huff three runs were scored. Kuhn fumbed couple of grounders that were costly and Hafford didn't play his usual game at third. The whole team was under the influence of the unknown hoodoo. and the inevitable was the re- suit
 On the other hand, the Derby team played with the same dash and skill that have marked the games with New Haven this year, and not misplay of any kind marred their work. They made fine assists, caught long and line flies and were everywhere to meet the ball. Bill Bannon a brother of George Bannon, of the local team, made cou- pie of grand stand plays in left held after he misjudged fly balls. In the fourth inning Fitzmaurice sent long f1v in his direction and Bannon ran in on it. He saw that it was going far rI hp c1< <yNqr6d for about twenty feet and as the ball came to earth he put up his gloved hand and if bounded out. Ramon made another lunge at the ball and managed to bat 1t up in the air again It looked sale this time surely, but the big fielder made dive for the sphere and caught it cou- ple of feet from the ground amid the | cheers of the crowd. Again in the | eighth he turned a back somersault in | catching Canavan's long hit, Lawler | ate up three difficult raps and O'Brien | and Moran fielded their positions in | clean shape Hi Ladd banged the ball | for four safe ones out of five times at | bat and Denny made three hits out of | four times at bat.
 The game started well for Derby. Bannon gave Lawler a base on balls, and Bill Bannon flied out to Fitzmaur- ce Denny drew a base on balls and both were advanced on Lucha's passed oall. Luchia picked up the ball and | -hrew wide to third and Lawler scored 1 md Denny reached third Ladd sent m easy one to Bernard, who threw Denny out at the plate, and OBrien walked He was thrown out Kuhn to Bernard. on ScannelPs grounder For New Haven. after Bone and Hafford vent out on easy ones, Canavan walk d and Ramon made a hit, sending to third. Ramon stole or ather walked to, second and both were eft. as Fitzmaurice went out easily, Moran to Drew.
 Both were blanked in the second, but n the next inning four big tallies were oiled up by the visitors. Bapnon and .add singled and O'Brien sent the ball O the fence for two bases. This hit vas followed by a three-bagger by ,cannell, and in the merry go round,
 elped along by wild pitch by Ban Ion, four Derbyites trotted home An ther disastrous inning for New Ha-
 en was the fifth, in which Fitzmaur- ,e dropped the ball, as aforesaid In his inning the team got throwing round the diamond in an attempt to all one of the many runners and when he ball got tu IIafford he threw low to ,ernard and the last of the three runs cored. I
