and the Game Other Games.
One of the most remarkable games Of
ball played at Savin Rock this year
was that yesterday when Norwich de-
feated the New Havens by the score of
to 8. For eight innings Steve Ashe
did not allow the sluggers from up the
state one single and it looked as if his
record would equal that of Mathewson,
when he shut out st. Louis without run
or hit for nine innings a week or so
ago. Steve's limit was reached, how
ever, when the eighth inning closed, for
they landed on him for five hits in the
ninth and with foolish play on the
part of Ashe himself the visitors
scored enough to win the game. New
Haven had made three runs on three
baggers by Bannon and Bone and the
lead looked too big for the Champs to
even think of overtaking. In the first
inning after Caravan and Conner sin
gled Bannon drove both in with a
three sacker to left but died on the
third corner as Fitzmaurice ended the
Inning by an easy out. Ashe lined out
a safe one in the fourth and was
brought home on Bones three Dagger,
this one also going to left field, almost
to the fence. There was no scoring
from that inning until the ninth, which
began something like this: Ward, the
first man up, sent a hot one to Half
ford, which took bad bound and went
between his legs, the third baseman not
touching it at ALL 1t was strictly
speaking, a hit. Dan Murphy, who can
be counted on for making trouble when
it is necessary made the first clean hit
of the afternoon for Thighe's men and
Piggy Ward landed on second. Thighe
got an eye or two on the ball and sent
another single to the outfield, filling the
corners. This was enough to make any
pitcher a trif1e unsteady and certainly
it did Ashe. Sullivan made the hearts
of the cranks tumble when he laced out
q safe hit scoring Ward and Murphy.
Harrington tried to lose the ball but
instead went out Ashe to Conner and
the local enthusiasts breathed little
easier. Doherty hit to Roger Conner,
who sailed the ball to Hafford in an
attempt to put out Thighe. The Nor
witch captain ran over third and was
caught between the bases by Hafford
and Luchia, Hafford making the put
out
That made two out with Sullivan on
third and Doherty on second. Thomp- |
son cracked out another safe one and |
Sullivan scored, Doherty resting on |
third. Here is where the play that lost |
the game was made. Before Ashe |
started to deliver the ball Thompson
kited for second and when Ashe woke
up he tossed the ball to Caravan and
the throw was high at that. The ball |
ought to have gone to Kuhn for several
reasons, but Kuhn didn't move from
his tracks.
Doherty of course made dive for the
plate and just beat out the throw by
Caravan to Luchia. The play was a
close one and Umpire Wheelock called
the runner safe, making the score four
to three. Curran ended the inning
with fly to Fitzmaurice.
New Haven started well in their half
Of the ninth. Ashe led off with single
20 left and was advanced to second on
Bones sacrifice. Hafford poked an
easy fly to Dorcey, but Ashe couldn't
advance. Caravan drew base on
balls and everybody looked for Roger
Connor to line 1t out, but he had bad
uck After he had two strikes and
as many balls he sent up a high foul
7y to Thompson and the game was all
,ff.
1t was hard game to lose but the
Blues died gamely. This afternoon the
ocals play in Meriden and tomorrow
