Waterbury Democrat., 1901-08-24


 Meriden here tomorrow.
 It was pretty tough to lose yester- day.
 Murphy has a knack of making one bad error in about every game.
 Waller had just one bad inning, but that was disastrous to Waterbury's chances.
 Weisbecker hit the ball some yester- day, and if the others had done as well the victory would have come over the hills to Waterbury.
 Monday we are at Bristol and Tues day we are at New Haven, and the other four days We are at home with New London, Meriden, New Haven and Derby. Five of those games should be ours.
 Eight of the Bristol players will have to break leg each now for them to lose the pennant. Poor Norwich, if that rule had not been made about National leaguers she might be now closer on Bristols heels.
 E. NJ. Allender of the New Haven Journal and Courier has sent a chal- lenge to the Waterbury newspaper men to play game of ball at the Sayin Rock grounds for the champion ship of the state. In all probability the Waterbury pen-pushers will accept the challenge at an. early date.
 As Hastings is now on deck and | Gardner will be able to pitch Monday, Moriarty will probably be sent back | to New London to finish the season. The Whalers want him and since he won his Eastern league game he will be a big drawing card in the State league.-Hartford Courant
 It is expected that the Brooklyns will play an exhibition game in Hart | ford as soon as the two clubs have an open date this season. The Brook | lyn management is willing and the HartfOrds are anxious to make up for their defeat of last year. This game will draw crowds from all parts of the | state.
 Umpire Hunt was fined S10O by President Powers for not umpiring in | the game in Hartford Wednesday,. It is understood that the fine will be re- mitted when the president understands the facts in the case Hunt was in bad shape yesterday and unable to do duty. His face is swollen and he suf- fers good deal of pain.
 We will have Sunday league game tomorrow between Waterbury and Meriden. It will take place at the Driving park in the afternoon, and be sides that game there may be a game between the Broooilvn Athletic club and St Joseph's. The latter two have a scheduled game for tomorrow. and if it can be arranged both will be played at the park. The first game will start at 2 o'clock and the league game right after.
 | If ever a man deserves to win this pennant 1t is Frank Reisling. for he has been the most tireless worker of any man In the league. He never shirked duty and when a player was l injured, no matter in what position Captain Reisling was always on hand to fill it. He has worked hard for the pennant and the Bristol fans should give him and his men the biggest send off that any team ever received when the end of the season comes.
