Waterbury Democrat., 1901-07-02

Meriden here Thursday morning.
 We are in Derby to-day, and Man ager Connor expects to take in as much as 30 cents.
 BristoPs only error yesterday was made by ConnOrs on a hard hit ball, which he fumbled. All the others were well taken care of and the infield was well nigh impregnable.
 Our two errors were made in the outfield, where hits were fumbled so that the base runner was either per mitted to advance another base or the man on the base scored.
 Those were two bad innings for Wal Ter, but his work during the rest of the game was gilt edged At that, had he q team behind him that could hit he would have pulled the game out of the fire.
 About the best twirler in the East ern league is klobedanz of the Wor- cester club. He Is pitching splendid ball and would be tower of strength to an American league club that has weak pitching staff.-Detroit Free Press.
 Bill Clements should feel proud of the last two games he has pitched against Waterbury. One week ago last Friday he allowed us just two hits and yesterday he gave us four. Perhaps if we keep improving by the end of the season we may get ten. On the dead level, boys, isn't that pretty rough?
 Fourteen of our batters were put out by the outfielders of the Bristol team yesterday, which showed how we were hitting the ball. Eddy out in right field had seven, Reisling in left had three and Kennedy i'll center had four. Trying to kill the ball drove them into the air and the fielders did the rest.
 A man named Mckee umpired the game here yesterday, and his work is so much of an improvement on the other ufnpires who have been here that we hasten toirecord that fact We hope and trust that he will continue 10 umpire as impartially in all his games as he did yesterday and he will make friends all around the circuit
 ID the account of the game in last evenings Democrat between the Brooklyn Athletic club and the Oak yilles it was stated that Burgess's play ing was a feature of the game. This was a mistake. It should have been written that Burgess's playing was a feature of the game between the lief fersons and Washington Hill A. c.
 We are getting real tired of telling the same story over and over again, 'we could have won the game if we could hit.' Let us have a change, if we have to get a whole new team. Manager5 Conuor said after the game that he would do something that would surprise some of the players unless there is q change for the better within the next few days.
 The game here on Thursday morn ing will be a corker and no mistake. Waller will be in the box again for the home team and if he pitches as good as he did yesterday after the first two innings he ought to beat Mer- iden dead easy. The game will start at 10:30 and a big crowd should get down to the grounds to see the fun. Waller Is one of the best pitchers ill this league and only the hardest kind of luck has prevented him from win ming all his games.
 I want to say a word for Mickey Delaney. During the past three weeks he has played star ball. The figures tell the story, tooS and in presenting these figures 1t must Joe remembered that half the games were played out of the city. Mickey has batted safely in every one of the last eighteen games. In that time he made twenty five hits in sixty five times at the bat. That gives him an average of 1885 in those games. which is as good as any man in the league has been doing i'll the same time. And Mickey's fielding is not behind the batting. In the last twenty games he fielded perfectly in seventeen of them, and is charged at present with but four misplays. De laney never played better game than at present and every fan in the city hopes he will keep in up to the end Bridgeport Post.
