Springfield Shut Out With One Run Only Scored Umpire Makes Trouble For New Haven.

Springfield, June 8.--In the last ap- pearance of Mclaughlin as pitcher for New London in this city there were points about the procedure which didn't hit Mir McL as the most cheering kind of news, c. Bowler holding the Whal- CTS to two tiny hits and the Ponies gaining shutout victory over the New Londoners. Yesterday Mclaughlin had whole lot of spite laid up against Springfield and he came forth in Indian fashion with an extra carload. In seven innings only 21 batsmen faced Mclaughlin. He gave one base on balls. but the man benefited by that left-handed slipup was immediately headed off in try for second. The score:

cided that the weather was too tenn pestuous for further playing, and de- murred on the ground that the rain was falling too heavily to warrant 2 continuance of the contest. On which point, opinion was divided, Hickey having the support of his fellow play CTS, and the umpire being backed by the half hundred enthusiasts who had gathered to SC what fun would be fur. nished. With two visitors out and three on bases. after having made two runs in the inning, Cooley called the game temporarily on account of rsin, a wait of nearly 20 minutes ensuing. As soon as the storm slackened, how ever, Cooley called upon the players to resume their performance. where upon Hickey refused to allow his men to leave the seats in the grandstand. which they had pre-empted on the ces- sation of hostilities. The fans could see no reason for the refusal, and said SO in no uncertain language. Following an argument between Hickey and the umpire, the former was again ordered to assemble !.s cohorts, and upon his again refusing. Cooley gave the game to the visitors. Then there was a hoxl,. not from the fans. for they felt sure of their rain checks for another game. bit from tfe New Haven play CTS md Nanager Dananer. The latter quoted rules to the official. and main- tained that 1t was raining heavily. and that Cooley had no right to call the game He also declared that the game would be protested. and. if it is in his power, he says he will do things to Mir Cooley. concerning his further appear ance as an umpire in this league.

A HOOTERS NOTES.

 ito lose.
 Hickey pitched grandly and deserv- cd to win.
 Bob Short was there with his three safe plunks.
 The largest crowd of the season witnessed the struggle.
 If the Saints don't look out the Merrimacs will pass them.
 The North Ends and Merimacs played a nice clean game.
 Jerry Shugrue's errors on first were costly especially in that. last inning.
 It was hard game to umpire and Klobedanz did well in giving such good satisfaction.
 The Brooklyns were just getting on to Wallace nicely when he was reie- gated to the bench.
 Smith threw Lynch out at hrst from right field on what ordihafiiy would be Il safe swat. Carmody. who relieved WaAMce,' pitched superbly the remaining nm ings and got good support.
 Well. it looks as if the cup will go to the Hill this Season. Manager Kelly has a good team and deserves It.
 Cunningham started to coach in the last inning but the din was so terrifc be could not make himself heard.
 The Infield of the Hills had eight errors charged against them and the Brooklyn's infield the same number.
 Lynch. the Brooklyn's shortstop, played a nice game, accepting all his chances and cracking out three hits.
 Camp is easily the peer of them all for good reliable fielding. and in bat ting he's generally there with the goods.
 McNelIis had an of day at short for the Hills as three rank errors were charged against him. besides several errors of judgment.
 If was not the same little Jimmy Commerford who faced the Hills. Just shows the result of being out of tlle game for time. F,Msts' Joe Begley attoned for some bad fumbling in the field by making one of the grandest catches seen on the grounds in a long time.
 Hickey is easily the best pitcher in the league and with little luck Min have them all beat a mile. He Iyould have won his game Sunday /bad he got proper support \ It was an awful handicap for any pitcher to take. as the game seemed lost beyond hope. but Hickey showed fbe stun that's in him and was liber- ally applauded for his good work ahugrue wanted to take Commer- soryi out before the inning was finish ed but was overruled. and right there the game was lost. If he had had his way things might have been different. Bfu Dwyer didn't like the idea of letting Hickey steal second and tired hard to get him. hut when he stole th,rd that was the limit. By the way RiiI didn't get a man stealing sun day.
 . Tho roofers on both sides were out sr force and made themselves heard. hut they should cut out some person Slsics Wallace. in particular. was the target for some uncalled for re | marks

PITCHER BURKE RELEASED.

Manager O'Rourke has conditionally released Pitcher Burke, who has gone back to his home in Brooklyn. It ap- pears that Burke is the eldest of four children, and he is the main support of his widowed mother and the fam fly. The Rev Father Quirk, of that city, has interested himself hl the fam fly. and recently secured position in business house for Burke, provided he could be released. Under the cir cumstances Manager O'ROurke gave him his release. it being optional with the pitcher. Should he accept the posi- ton in Brooklyn. well and good. and if he wants to, come back to Bridgeport. the position is open to him. Burke leaves a good impression behind him. He won his one game for the Orators. not because he was better pitcher than Wade, who opposed him. but be- cause he has a baseball head. and was very opportune with the bat
