Hartford, Aug 4.-There was a big
improvement in the playing of the
IHartfords yesterday and it was appre~
iciated by the faithful who We're down
lin goodly numbers, considering the po-
sition occupied by the team in the race,
and on blue Monday, too. The i'm
provement is not apparent from look
at the score, which certainly looks bad.
While Holyoke clearly outplayed Hart
ford in the field and at bat, the win
ming team had all the luck. Clancy
was wild. but he kept the hits scat
tered so that they We're not productive
of runs. A good many Of the Holyoke
swats were long hits. Rossman led
with the willow, making single, two
doubles and triple. To vary the
monotony he struck out once. That
young man is worth $1,000 of any man
ayers money and he will probably be
put up at auction at the close of the
season.
Manager Reilly had better team in
the field yesterday than he has had out
for few weeks. Buck Morrison was
allowed to play and Bourden has fully
recovered from his "indisposition.
Ahearn put up nice game at first.
Mccarthy was tried at short and he
seemed to have hard work to pick
ball up. The team looked so good
when it started out that Captain
Thomas made the prediction that 1t
would win. The men got bad start
by Simon's work and they never recov-
cred the ground lost then. He gave
the first man up his base. Fitzpatrick
then hunted and Simon had time to get
the man at second. But ne threw high
and swift and Mccarthy could not get
the ball. McAndrews made third on
the play. Fitz stole second. Batch
was struck out, but Slater singled and
both men scored Durnbaugh sent a
ny to Morrison and Rossman hit for
three bases, scoring Slater. Ross
scored on Landy's single. Schincel
ended the inning By sending fly to
Sullivan. Four runs were made and
this put the game on the bum at once.
Hartford had two on the bases in the
Arst and second innings but could not
score. After one was gone in the third
Sullivan hit for three bases and scored
on an infeld fly. Two more men
reached bases after two were out but
they could not get in. Hartford made
a little rally in the ninth, but it was
short lived. Mccarthy opened the in
ming with double and Simon singled.
Bourden was given his base, filing the
bags Sullivan struck out. Thomas
walked and one run was forced in.
Smith singled and another run scored
Morrison hit to short and double play
retired the side and ended the game.
Holyoke banged the ball hard in all
the innings when scores were made.
Simon struck out nine men and was hit
safely thirteen times. which is q very
peculiar record. The premier pitchers
of the teams saw the game from the
grand stand. RUDE Vickers and RUDE
Luby were in the front row, accom-
panied by young ladies, Manager Reil-
ly received an application yesterday
from a player who just received his
discharge from the United States gov
ernment He was with the army in
the Philippines. He said his last game
was played in Manila two months ago,
and the Hartford manager did not
think he would do. Manager Reilly is
negotiating with some strong players
and expects to land them this week.
About 900 were down yesterday. The
manager of the Holyoke team in COM
menting on the attendance said there
was not another city in the league that
would turn out as well as Hartford I'M
der the conditions prevailing. The
score:
Hartford
