 Benched in the Big Leagues,
 Holyoke, July 2S.-Ihere was no fight at all yesterday when the champions beat the Holyokes on their own grounds. The New Havens took things into their own hands from the very first and swatted the ball right and left until they got tired of the fun, and when they quit the slaughter the score stood 3 to 2 in favor of the visitors. They had no trouble in finding Clancy, who did the twirling for the Holyokes, and had no mercy on him whatever. Clancy was terribly wild, too, and his liberality in the distribution of bases on balls put.dve of the New Havens Oh first. He didn't seem to have any con- trol whatever, and when he did get the ball within reasonable distance of the plate it immediately bounded, from the stick of the batter. who appropriated one base or two. But Clancy wasn't the only one of the Paper city aggrega- tion that played poor ball. 1t was an all4round of day for Holyeke, and not one of the players put the usual ginger into the game. Batch, Mccormick, Rossman and Clancy made errors of the yellowest type.- and everybody seemed to play in half-hearted way TJ1I ais ho hof nobody could hit the ball effectively except Kid Mccormick and Landy. The former managed to get in a couple of good cracks at the sphere, but those who followed him didn't push him around and there were none before him for him to help around. Landy, how ever, made a good two-bagger and scored.
 The. pitching of Hanifan was, in large measure, the cause of Holyoke's not tallying oftener. He certainly pitched good ball The Paper Citys couldn't connect at all with his bends and the speed the boy had was terrific. Even Mccormick couldn't swing his stick quickly enough for them. and Batch and Rossnaan, both famous for excellent batting. pushed the wind twice. The heavy hitters did not like it. Hanifan only laughed--cruel that he was-and waited fol, his next vic tim Jimmy Canavan was greatly in evidence yesterday. He seemed to be on hand to do the right thing at the right moment. and he himself made four of the winning runs His two hits were we'll placed and the way he managed to walk around the bases tickled even the Holyoke fans. He stole three bases during the game. and two of them were in rapid succession In the first inning. when he appropri- ated second only long enough to wait for chance to steal third. Ruhe vickers was on hand yesterday. but al- though he attempted little coaching from the first base line his words were not Sheard by the crowd and he didn't seem the same old Rube. It looked once as though hA would be given chance jn the box but Clancy remained on the slab till it was all over,
 Batch and Landy each brought in one run for Holyoke in the eighth and ninth. respectively. Batch. disgusted with himself for flaming twice, batted over second base and stole second. Me Corinick hit just along first base line and Bath tallied. Landy began the ninth with hit that was good for two bases and Canavan's error on first when Hayward threw to retire Clancy at that bag gave Landy time to cross the rubber The double play by Nc Andrews, Slater and Mccormick in the seventh was pretty exhibition of base ball .Tope had been hit and had been granted first base on that account. Hahnifan hit to McAndrews and Jepe was hast second on his way to third Mae hurled the ball to Slater and Han. nifan was retired on the initial bag. "Ed" was all awake and got it over to Mccormick in time to put out Jope, who was nearly at third base. This was about the only brilliant play of the entire game, which was full of dope" Hannifan played the star game for the visitors and received good support in the field. hence the victory. Che score:
