 The Brook Street base ball team, Charles Bergin manager, won two sig nal victories the past few days. and as result the boys are now resting on their laurels and will not bother their heads about further challenges until Roger Connor or some of the other na- bobs of the game decide to challenge them to combat. Saturday they played with the Brooklyns. and while the nine from the west bank of the mighty Naugatuck lost, still 1t cannot be said that they suffered an inglorious defeat, for it took thirteen innings to decide the battle, and then the Brook Streets came, in ahead by just one run more than their opponents, the score stand ing 21 to 2 in favor of the Brook Streets. There was row about some fellow who played with the Brooklyns. the other fellows claiming that he was a ringer He is described as "a great big fellow with long pants." The Brook Streets wanted to rule him out of the game, but the Brooklyns stood by their man and finally the matter was settled by allowing the fellow with the long pants to play. The next battle in which the Brook Streets fig. ured took place yesterday afternoon. when they met the eTribunes of Baldwin street and walloped them to the tune of 16 to 1. The Tribunes played good ball, but they were not in it with the Brook Street team. Of course this is the victors' side of the story, and if there should be anything wrong about 1t the aggrieved will have to look to the source of the information rather than to the reporter that picked it up.
