THE DIAMOND.
A FINISH
 PHENOMENAL
Springfield Scored Eleven t Runs i'm the Eighth Inning
 and Won Out Results of
 Other Games.

Springfield, Aug 19.-With the score 10 to against them in the second game the Ponies in the eighth landed on Curley Locks Foxen for eight hits, three of them doubles, and eleven run. ners crossed the rubber, making the score 12 to 10 in favor of Springfield. Thus 1t was that the Ponies won the most remarkable game from a finish ing standpoint in the history Of base ball in this city, says the Springfield Union
 Previous to this the Ponies had walked off with the first game of the. double header to 2, but all hopes of winning the second game had been abandoned Every inning after the fifth had marked the departure of sev, eral hundred of the patrons and they All went away with the conviction that the Ponies had been outclassed and badly beaten in the second game.
 Even now the fans in Worcester tell of the finish Toronto made back Ill '99, scoring thirteen runs Ill the ninth inning and beating Worcester by one run. But Worcester was on the small end of that score and Bill Lampe, who met defeat, never quite recovered from the shock given him.
 And so it will be with Bill Foxen. His curly locks will turn white before he is allowed to forget the awful pounding given him by the Ponies in that wonderful eighth. It is said that Bills bump of conceit has been grow ing of late and that he has almost made himself believe that tue Hart ford team was composed only of Southpaw Foxen. If such is the case and of course we wouldn't say that it is. yesterdays pumping may do Bill some good and lie can go back to his old size in headgear.
 Eight hits and three errors figured in the eighth and the fans simply went crazy with delight. When the batting bee first started the fans re- marked, Well, we will make the score look a little more respectable at least" Then the hitting continued and when with three men on bases Pat O'Connor pounded out double, sending all three home, the question was s'How many do we need to tieY
 With the tied score came the appeal for at least one more run and when two men finally crossed the rubber the scene was simply beyond description. Hats were thrown in the air, Yeas" were heard on every side and the cheering was deafening. The scores: Springfield A O11 1 o 2 o a-9 13 3 Hartford Il o % 1 0 0 0 0-2 II
