KNIVES AND STONES.
Freely Used at Long Hi.i Baseball
 Diamond Saturday.

base ball game between rival teams from the butfing and butt de- partments of the Scovill Manufactur- ing Co in the Long Hfil diamond on Saturday ended in a bloody and dis graceful free for all fight. in which stilettos were used. base ball bats were thrown cobbles were hurled. beer bottles were whirled and dozen or more persons were badly cut or bat tered. The ball diamond was trans ferred temporarily into a slaughter house and half dozen Italians were apparently the subjects for the slaugh- ter. But they were rather stubborn md put up q good fight in the face of overwhelming numbers.
 As result Of the brawl Carmine Paglini lies at the Waterbury hospital his head, face and body battered all most beyond recognition. He is also minus nearly all of his teeth. He is resting comfortably today. William Lane of Dublin street has very sore neck. the result of being slashed with stiletto, and Arthur Agnew of Or ange street is nursing his thigh, which was ripped open about half q foot, also with a stiletto. Many others are suf- fering more or less from minor in- juries, slight reminders of the glorious battle that was.
 Saturday afternoon the base ball hines from the butting and butt ue- pertinent and some friends journeyed to Long hill diamond early. The after noon was spent in playing ball and in paftaking of the contents of several kegs of beer, which were side issue. But as time passed by and beer flowed more freely, some of the men began to feel rather happy and wanted to fight. and soon they got all they wanted. It iss not exactly known how 1t started, but In a few moments q fierce riot was i'll full sway and any number of men were fighting madly, An Italian was smashed in the face and he whipped out stiletto and stuck 1t in somebody. Terrible was the beating which he and his fellow Italians. four in num- Der, who went to his aid, received, Somebody struck him back of the ear q foot was pushed into his mouth and his teeth showed out of position; cobbIa bounded off his head, and q base ball bat was almost cracked across his back. His companions fared likewise. but they got in some heavy blows themselves. When the battle ended Carmine Paglini laid in hes9 on the grass. He was dead to the world. He was carried in q beer wagon to McLinden's drug store, where his wounds were temporarily dressed by Dr McLinden. Lunny's ambulance was summoned and he was removed to the hospital. It would Ds impossible to describe his injuries for there are SO many of them. His body is covered with marks and bruises and cuts. Lane. who was stabbed, also went to McLinden's pharmacy, as did Agnew, and had their injuries dressed. Others limped home or were carried home by their friends 1t is said that nearly everyone at the game carried away some souvenir Of the terrible brawl.
 The police were notified of the fight and they arrested Nicolo Graffone. William C. Twitty, John Quinn, James Lackey, Frank Degrezia and Rocco Graffone. The two Graffones, Twitty and Degrezia were released. Quinn and Lackey were held on the charge of breach of the peace. In tue city court this morning their cases were continued until Thursday morning, as the prosecutor was not prepared to tly them
