 Rockville, May 31.-The Rockvllles played two games yesterday with the Waterbury Consolidated nine.

The Rockvilles had Al uhonse Thomas, formerly of the Hart z ford team, in the box, and he was hit so hard i'll the third inning that he was taken out of the box and Moriarty fin ished the game, which from that out was one of the sharpest contests ever Witne ssed on the Union street grounds and became prolonged to u ten-inning match before the winning run was scored by the Rockvilles. The Water burys got their only runs ill the third Einning when they knocked Alphonse but of the box and tallied four times. ,ThetRockvilles made one run ill the IVecond, one in the third, and tied the Score by making two in the sixth. tNrom that on to the tenth neither side Scored. In the tenth Stafford made the winning run after two men were but and it looked as if the game would have to go another inning. The visitors owed their defeat to their in ability to hit Moriarity, who had great control of the ball.
 The Waterbury's showed themselves the heaviest hitting aggregation to visit this city in a long time They had the pick of the best men available, having Georgetown man, who has d record for hitting considerable better than 300 It was great feat to be able to hold them down and they were Il surprised lot when Moriarty fooled them, as they swung the hickory into the air.
