THE DIAMOND
BEATEN IN ONE INNING
New Haven Caught the Prodigals Mapping - Norwich Went . Down With Us.

Scared out of years growth were Captain Hayward, Frank Fitzpatrick ct al yesterday afternoon out on State league park when the Prodigais al- most plucked the game out of the fire by smashing rally in the eighth inning. Mad as hornet was Twirler Wade when he was relegated to the seat of rest, after double and a triple were made of his twisters. Crazy as tribe of wild Indians were the majority of the fans as they be- lieved they were about to see rout mesmerized into victory Yet out cf it all Phil Corcoran brought every body down to terra firma and earned for his team from New Haven tho victory that was deserved and by right was theirs. The game was not very interesting one aside from that eighth inning, for the visitors had begun to win it too early in the bat tie. Eddie Curley oficiated as a reg ular umpire for the first time and some of the fans did not like Eddie little bit. He should not have been assigned for his first job right in his own, bailliwick. It is hard enough to please the fans away from your own township, but when you attempt to please them right where you were raised, then your troubles begin. Ed die was no worse than many others who have been here and much better than a whole bunch of them. Little things that would have passed with stranger were magnified in his case and the consequences were his posi- tion yesterday was not an enviable one.
 New Haven went after that victory right from the call of time. Jerry Cornell, he of the aggravating dis position but the mighty batter, ham, mered one to center garden and was resting nicely on second when the ball got back to it's belongings. -Fitsy sacrificed him to third and then Jack Hannifin drove out safe one and Cornell was over the plate with the first run of the game. In the third was where the rout came. Wade, the first man up, killed one of Rogers curves and stopped on first. Cornell attempted to sacrifice him by drop ping the ball in front of the plate, and Thackara threw the ball a mile wide and Cornell was on first with Wade on second. Fitzpatrick was mean enough to hammer out a safe one and the bases were filled. Han nifin hit to short and while Wade was racing home, Fitzpatrick was be- ing put out at second. Rogers took a little flight about this time and pitched wild one and Cornell flew home. Burke then drove a safe one, good for two, to right garden and Hannifin came home. but there the agony stopped, for Hayward struck out and Bunyan flew out to right. That was all the scoring that was done by New Haven and not another hit in the next six innings did they get of of Rogers. " &.7
 The Prodigals' first run came in the fifth when after one was out Cooney Rice drew base on balls, went all the way around to third on single and came home on a hit toward first base. The rally in the eighth proved Wade's undoing. Mc- Cabe, the first man up. smashed out a two-sacker to center and the fans began to awaken. Eddie Swander hammered one to the center field fence and rested on the third corner and here Wade was banished and Phil Corcoran without any practice jumped into the breach. He gave the first man that faced him a free pass and with wild pitch sent in Swan- der. and we were within one of the goal Here Phil pulled himself to- gether and the next three men were easy outs. We could do nothing with him in the ninth and the game was lost. The score:
