 Hoiyoke, sTune51 Hartfordsd downed the PaperC City nine ab Ho1yoke yester- day. It has long been the ambition of the Hartfords .beat'the Holyoke nine and they went at it yesterday as if they meant business. They rubbed 1t In hard. too. No one man can be said 70 have won the game fol" Hartford, al- though Luby pitched great ball, or to have lost 1t for the Paper City. It was a hard fight from the beginning to the nnd. The visiting twirler worked hard and did good work in the box, and the Holyoke boys were unable to con nect with his twists but twice. Ross man slashed out 8 single and the old Amherst captain hit safe on one occa- sion, and that was the extent of the home teams work with the willow. The fielders gave Luby good support, and when the ball was hit it was only to rise and fall in the hands of one of the visitors, or to complete the course to first before the runner. O'Brien at short played a creditable game for Hartford, and made some pretty pick ups and neat throws to first, and Stal- hngs was always there to meet them. ' Walsh, the strong left fielder, did the ' heavy batting for the boys in blue, and on one occasion when Clancy was kind enough to put one in reach of his bat, he sent the ball into far left, just be- yond the reach of the fielders. Though the home team was /walloped, it was not due so much to the inferior playing as to the excellence of the other club. SfcAndrews, to be sure, made couple of errors of the worst kind, and even Mccormack tried his hand at tho trick. They are capable of better things. But in spite of these bad ones, both of these men made some rattling good grand stands" Clancy was by no means at his best 1t must have been an. off day with him yesterday, for he couldn't get them over the plate and the called strikes from his delivery were few and far between. Kellogg, the new one from the campus. was in the fray and showed up we'll. Mama ger Connor didn't want him because he was no batter, but yesterday he made one of the teams two hits, and out in the garden his game was all to the good.
 Holyoke scored its only run in the third inning. The slugger from York state was the first man up, and a slow ono to Luby was the end of him. Schin- eel walked to first and got to second bag by a clever steal. Clancy struck out and an error by O'Brien let Batch to first. Batch tried to appropriate second and McCarthy threw down to that bag, but Daly, who was covering the base, let the ball go through him, and SchinceI took that opportunity to slip over the plate. Batch, too, might have scored, but Fitzpatrick landed an l. easy one to Morrison and Nthe side was retired. There were no more runs for Holyoke for the rest of the game.
 The Hartford boys began in the sec ond inning and brought two men across the plate in that spasm. McAndrews's error let Mccarthy get to first and four of Clancy's wild ones gave Stall lings his base. Luby was an easy mark, and Stallings was retired at the plate on O'Brien's hit. O'Brien slid to second and came in when Battam pounded out a pretty single. Sullivan
 
 ming. The other run was scored in the eighth. Morrison was called out be- cause he swung three times in vain and Mccarthy, as if to be revenged, earned the initial bag by hard single About this time, Clancy who had been throwing wild on the outside of the rubber, changed his aim and let drive at the other side of the plate, and hit the batter full in the back. Stallings howled, but was glad enough to take bis base without the assistance of the willow. This moved McCarthy down to second, and the pitcher came to the bat. Luby wasn't good for much but the felders chose to play on Mccarthy who was making for home about this time, and Mccormack caught him on third in .a way that made the ''fans' wild with delight. An error by this same Mac" let O'Brien to first and < Luby walked across the plate.
 The ground was heavy and in no con- dition for good exhibition of base ball and the weather was cold and raw, except for few moments that the sun peeped through the clouds. At the end of the seventh inning the host of kids that swarm around the fence were let in and the noise they made would have made the home team win if it had been possible thing, for the yell ing was certainly terrific and even the awful voice of Umpire Merriek could could not be heard above the din. Landy, Vickers, Morgan and Weeden were not in the game, but made themselves numerous along the side lines and proved a valuable help to the ! gallant mascot who was considerably fin evidence yesterday. Before many more games there will probably be some changes in the makeup of the Holyoke team, but just what it will be is not known at present. Landy, who has refused to play with Springfield,
