COULD NOT HIT MILLER.
LACK OF RAFTING COSTS BLUES
 GAME.

Springfield Landed on Tuekey in the
 Third for Five Safe Ones-New Ha- ven's Only Tally Forced in by Base
 on BaIIs-Thiesen Has Eighteen of
 New Haven's Put Outs and FItz-
 maurice Five.
 Miller had New Haven completely at his mercy throughout yesterdays game at Savin Rock. and the inability of the local men to hit him at all resulted in the adding of one more victory to the pienteous string of the Springfield leaders. New Haven played a very lifeless game at the bat, with the re- suit that they lost an excellent chance to tie or win the game in the third inn ing.
 Outside the third inning the history of the game can be told entirely in ciphers. Except for this inning the game was practically without feature. But the third was mildly exciting. Seven of the Ponies yielded their mighty willows, five of whom rang up safe hits on their registers. McKeon opened with a single which Jope failed to reach. He was forced out, however, by Miller. The pitcher went to third on Tansey's two-bagger, and both Mill Ter and Tansey scored on Tuckey's wild pitch. Dillon, Altizer and Flanagan singled, Dillon tallying. Crook hit to Fitzmaurice, who doubled Altizer at second in the only double play of the game.
 New Haven had a splendid opportu- nifty to even matters in its half. Tuck el got to first safely on Altizer's error, Nagle contributed another error in the shape of bad throw to second, which left Tuckey and Cornell safe. Hay ward sacrificed his teammates along a base. Miller filled the bags by giving lTheisen a base on balls. It looked as if Springfield was due for bad case of irattles. Hickey's best was a hit to Nagle, forcing Tuckey at the plate. New Haven seemed unable to grasp its Opportunity when Miller proceeded to help them out by another gift to Col den, forcing in Connell with the Blues only run of the game. Miller retrieved himself by striking Fitzmaurice out, IenQlnS the eNenLLul lulllIlS' NEW I1d- ven did not make a hit during the inn ling.
 Only two hits came to the local boys in the game. Connel opened with a fine two-sacker," but was left on second. Connolly got hit to short center in the seventh. Miller retired six men on strikes. Not one stolen base was gain led during the game. Theisen had eighteen put-outs at first. Cooley um- pired an excellent game.

In the eleventh, with two out, Ladd hit to the right field fence for two bases, the only extra base hit in the game, and came home on Beaumont's single to right with the only run. Both pitchers put up an ele- gant game of ball and the fielding of both teams was snappy. The work of Lenox and O'Rourke at third and Mo- Cabe and Ladd at center was sensa- tional.
