Ofher Games,

Up to the ninth ninth of yesterdays baseball game at Savin Rock between the New Haven and Derby teams not a man of the visitors got as far as second base. Two were on the fair road to the bag but were cut off each time by neat double plays on the part of the New Haven infeld. The game was won by New Haven by the score of 4 to 1 and every man of the Blues played good ball. Steve Ashe pitched great game, holding the hard Derby hitters down to five singles. These were very much scattered and except in the last inning amounted to nothing. Steve let the men from out of town hit the ball, but they couldn't hit it safe or they couldn't hit it for any distance. He only struck out one man, but strike outs were not necessary Denny's men were utterly unable to do anything with the slow ones that Ashe served up. In the first inning Bannon, a brother of Ban- non of the local team, led off with a single to left field. Lawler sent a fly to Bone and the latter by a very quick throw caught Bannon off first before he could get back.
 In the third inning Scannell singled and the next batter, Sprague sent a ball to Kuhn. He shot the ball to Ber- nard at second and the latter completed another pretty double play Tn the eighth inning Drew made hit after two were out, but he died there as Scan- nell struck out. The ninth inning start ed off like the rest for the Derby team. Sprague flied out to Fizmaurice. Here Tucry cracked out nice single over Kuhn's head Bannon sent hot one to Ashe, who fumbled it but recov- cred it ill plenty of time to put out the runner. His throw was wild however, and the ball went past Canavan Tucry scoring in the meantime. Lawler was then asked to poke out safe one by the few Derby followers there, but he sent one down to Kuhn Kuhn played for a double and caught Ramon, but the speedy Jack reached first before the ball and a double play was spoiled. "Hi" Ladd, the old reliable, came to the rescue and sent a single between second and short and Lawler sprinted to third. l ucIS w as d lIldll Oll III ol dIlu lLllu dllu two out and a good chance to make a couple of runs, but the next batter sent long fly to Fitzmaurice and the game was over.
