 The final appearance for the season of the Bridgeport Orators at the Savin Rock grounds afforded an Xciting seance for about 900 spectators, who were not to be kept away by the un- propitious weather. In spite of the wet condition of the field, which deadened the ball considerably at times, the game was a pretty one and well played, and included several pretty pieces of playing.
 It was during New Havens half of the eighth that the excitement rose to its highest pitch, when about half an hour of playing time was consumed in a heated argument over the counting of two runs for New Haven which re- suited from Odell's throw over Yale's head. Bunyan had drawn pass, with one out, and stole second. Sanfranan- dre hit to Odell, who threw wild over | Yale's head, both runners crossing the plate. Then there was an objection from O'Rourke, jr., who called Hor- nung's attention to ground rule which he claimed did not permit a | player to take but two bases on the play. Captain Hayward was called into the conference, with the result that no agreement was reached. Final l ly about half the players on the field joined the discussion. Hornung acted irresolute, pulled out his watch, put it away again and allowed the debate to go on. The spectators began to grow tired and called for play. The bleach critics stood up and crowded towards the fences, so that it seemed as if a riot would result if the umpire decided against New Haven. Hornung ordered | New Haven to play according to the Bridgeport contention, but, the locals refused and he did not call the game. The matter was finally settled by counting Bunya1rs run and sending tt Sanfranandre back to second. This
 was the deciding run of the game.
 O'Rourke, jr., opened for the Orators with a single but was nabbed at sec 4 ond on Yales force-out. Yale tried, to steal second and was caught. Foster walked; Ladd singled; Beaumont hit l to Lenox, who threw wide to Bunyan, ethe ball going to the bleacher fence, Foster scoring odell drew a pass, but
 was forced at second by O'Rourke, ST. l New Haven was one, two, three on hits to Foster, O'Rourke, jr, and Cor: Ten. s-. *s@.
 Each side sent four men up in the second, O'Rourke getting safe hit for T Bridgeport and Sherwood his first two i bagger for the locals. Sherwood retir- ed the Bridgeport team in this inning 4 by beautiful catch near the right field fence. s-....... I Foster walked in the third, but two
 strike-outs and a fly to Burke left him \ on first. New Haven took the lead in
 this inning. Lawlor went to first or four balls, Tuckey sacrificed him to second prettily, and Jerry Connell SCOT z ed him with a pretty two-base hit.
 Jope was out, Cornen to Yale, but
 Burke brought ConneI over with an
 other tWo-bagger. He was left on I4enox's out to O'Rourke, ST., who made
 a beautiful running catch of a good try
 for hit.
 There was no more scoring until the sixth, although Sherwood got in a sec.
 ond two-base hit. Tn the sixth LenoS
 walked, Sherwood ditto, Bunyan lit tc
 Cornen, who threw too late to catch Lenox at third, and all were safe. Witf none down it looked like a feast, but
 the Blues had all they could do to score one. Lenox came in on sanfranandre's :, fly to Ladd.
 Bridgeport tied in the next inning :, Ladd beat out a hit to second. Beau
 mont forced him at second. Odel made the second out on fly to Con nell. With two strikes on him O'Rourke ST., dropped a beautiful fly safe ovel left field fence for home run, scoring Beaumont.
