 of Naugatuck.

Torrington, July 30.-What prom ised to be one of the most interesting and closely contested baseball games of the season was ended abruptly on League park diamond Saturday af- ternoon after five innings had been played. The battle was between the Independents of Waterbury and the Coe Brass club and the home aggre- gation were winners by the score of 3 to 2. When Coe Brass took its turn at bat in the third inning the rain came down heavily. but Umpire Mo- ble refused to call the game until the termination of the fifth inning. The grounds were then in such condition that further play was out of the question. Hickey, who did the twirl- ing for Coe Brass. was in fine fettle. allowing but one hit. triple by Bill Thompson in the fourth inning. which sent in Mulligan, who had been hit by a pitched ball, with the first tally. Thompson scored a mo- ment later on wide throw to the plate by Homer. Considering the un- favorable conditions. both sides play ed good ball. It is understood that a series of games will be arranged for a side bet of s100 and that the first of these exhibitions will be decided here on Saturday, August IS. The score: RH.E.

CITY LEAGUE,
TWO GOOD GAMES
 ONE BAD ONE
Small Attendance at the League Contests Yesterday Alter
 noon.

There was but meager attendance at the ball game given by the City Amateur league yesterday afternoon, caused in all probability by reason of the threatening weather. The last game, the tabulated score of which is given below was decidedly the worst contest of the day and was stopped by Umpire Mcdonald because of the farcical condition into which the game had drifted. The contest ants were the Pastimes, the leaders in the league and the St Josephs. The latter team put up a miserable exhibition of baseball and the Pas times had cinch in winning out in the final stages of the game. The game was called when the Pastimes had scored so many runs in the ninth inning that it seemed impossible for the Tabs to- have overtaken them. A protest may be entered at the league meeting tonight against the calling of the game, as it prevented the St Josephs from having their turn at the bat. The score: E

CITY LEAGUE NOTES.

The first game was the best of the day.
 The attendance was small again yesterday because of the weather.
 That last game developed into the worst farce seen at the grounds this year.
 Umpire Denny Leahy held the in- dicator in the first game and umpired very satisfactorily.
 The St Joseph's team and the Mer- rimaes have gone to the bad. It is rumored that Slavin may catch for the Hills next Sunday
 That ninth inning of the Pastimes- St Joseph game was something aw- ful. If it had not been called the Pastimes would still De slamming them out
 Before the last game one of the players took a little sand and threw 1t around the home plate which was rather muddy. Suddenly voice from the grand stand presumably Dannie Connor's yelled. If vou don't leave that dirt down you will  have to leave the field. do you hear thatT The crowd gave him three big groans.
 In the last inning the Hills had three men on bases with only one out but Kelley put on steam. All that -RHr- Thompson could do was to knock a grOun.ier fO -Jerry- shugTue who retired the runner at the plate. and Wallace ended the game by striking out. It was an awful dose fer the Hills tc swallow. as t looked as though they wouh win the game.

BROOKLYNs WIN OUT.

The Brooklyns and the Washing ton Hills were the first two teams to meet and they put up a contest worthy of those two rivals. At the end of the seventh inning the score stood to in favor of the Brook lyns. Umpire Lahey decided that there was still time for another in- ming and this inning almost gave the Hills chance to win out. Bill Thompson hammered out a ball which drove in one run and then with two men on bases and two out Wallace had the chance of his life to win his own game but he struck out, ending very exciting battle. The batteries were Kelly and La chance for Brooklyn and Wallace and McMahon for the Hills.

New Haven, July 30.-Redeeming themselves after the stinging defeat of Friday. New Haven took the dou- ble header from Hartford at the Prairie Saturday afternoon in two exciting and interesting games, end ing { to 3 and S to 2. Several features added to the excitement of some star playing. In the second game a dis puted decision at first took the um- pire's attention. but he failed to call time. Fitzpatrick knocked the ball from the hand of 0'Leary and Jope started home. O'Leary grappled with him and both rolled to the ground. They were separated and Jope touch ed the home plate. During the mixup the more excited of the fans rushed on the field. but no serious disturb ance occurred. as the police drove them back The scores:

 Rockville fans were happy Satur- day night. for they had broken tho hoodoo and defeated the Manchesters in Rockville. The locals also had the satisfaction of knocking Buckley, Manchester's star twirler, out of the box. In as pretty batting rally as was ever seen on the grounds. the Rockvilles drove out safe hits 90 fast that Buckley became bewildered. It was in the fifth inning and after two men were out that Rockville started the ball rolling and after the nine had batted around, the score showed five hits for the inning and six runs. Manchester stock went down to zero after this. for 1t clinched the game for Rockville. The final score waD Rockville g, Manchester 5.
 The All-Bristol baseball club m. der the management of Patrick No Cue played the All-Manchester club in Bristol Saturday. The game start ed on in good shape and the batting of Richtmeyer and Risley were feat ures of the game. In the first inning Bristol piled up three runs. but after this the Manchesters settled down. Bristol secured another run in tho third after Manchester made one in the second. When the sixth fnning opened Manchester piled up throo more runs, which made the Brfntol boys look tired, but hard thunder storm arrived and the game was called on account of wet grounds. Under the rules the score reverted back to the previous inning. which made it to 1 In Bristol's favor.
