Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-09-08

Tom Kenny kept 1t up by pushing out another pretty hit and Reid, who fol lowed, landed another safe one right back of third. John Hayes cleared the bases with another two-bagger and scored shortly after by drawing a wild throw to third. McNellis, Tom Byrnes and Ed Hayes were the next three bat ters, but failed to score. When all was over and the third man had been put out the Merrimacs had seven more tai lies to their score. which made it Il to 6 in their favor. This bombarding had been done in the last of. the hfth. After this inning Moran settled down and the Merrimacs failed to score any more runs. The T. A. B:'s scored one run after that and stopped right there, leaving the score Il to in favor or the East End team The game cont1n- ued until 4 o'clock, when the argument arose. Only eight innings had been played and the Merrimacs didn't ob- ject, but the Brooklyns and Washing ton Hills wanted to start their game and insisted on taking the field at o'clock. After little talk they agreed to let the game go on and Umpire Fox shouted "Play ball' Then the Saints refused to bat. The umpire ordered the Merirmacs to take their positions, which they did, and called upon the Saints to put up their batter. This the Saints refused to do, and after Tom Byrnes had pitched two or three balls, called the game and declared the Mer rimacs the winners by the score Of II to '. Only one more inning was to be played. but Manager Leydon refused to go on with the game. He said he had his reasons for not continuing ana said he'd protest the game because the Merrimacs weren't on the grounds at o'clock The next meeting of the board of managers will be held at the St Josephs' room on East Main street. then the matter will be finally decided s'Den'' Fox umpired the game and gave satisfaction.
 The second game was between the Washington Hills and Brooklyns. The Brooklyns were out for the game and started right off in the first inning to win. They made six runs in their first try at the bat and kept it up till Captain Mulligan substituted Red Barker of Waterville in the box. "Red" pitched good ball for the Hills and kept the Brooklyns down to few runs. But the damage had already been done and try as hard as they could the Hills couldn't come even within hailing distance of the Brook lyns. Pratt started in to pitch for the Hills He used to be able to pitch pretty good game. but he can't be de- pended upon. Barker Is good man and with the assistance of McGinnts ought to be able. with good support, to win their games. John Kelly. twirled for the Brooklyns and had excellent control. He had speed to burn and all kinds of twisters last Sunday. Kelly is coming back into his old form once more and with the team that's behind him now will make a good bid for the pennant. He was almost perfectly supported-quite different with the Washington Hill pitcher The infeld of the Hills put up miserable game and made quite number of errors and wild throws. something new for this team to do, but the best of them have off days sometimes and the Hills proved no exception Sunday. "Dicky" Sheehan was particularly off Sunday and put up his worst game of the sea- son. Mulligan had a few errors also. as did Jack Scully and Bergin: In fact, it was a bad day for the Hills and a corking good one for the Brooklyns. The Brooklyns by their victory Sunday come we'll up to the front and the fin ish promises to be-well. anything but cold one The final score between the Washington Hills aud Brook1yns ! was 15 to 3 in favor of the Br0oklyns.
