THE DIAM OND
CRUSHING OF
 THE PRODIGALS
Sam Kennedy and His Cohorts Do Things to Waterbury - All
 Other Results.

The New London Telegraph speaks in part of yesterdays games as fol- lows:
 Sam Kennedy's men hung the skid doc sign on Harry O'Hagan's boys at Cannonball park yesterday afternoon, taking both games of double head CT. The first game came home with the score to and was very .le- cent sort of a game, with Harry Long offering the slants against Billy Reg CTS of the left wing. But it was the second game that was the real hair raiser. the unadulterated essence of excitement. The Whalers won out 1 to 0 and the run that decided the team to stop playing was not knocked in until two men had been retired in the ninth and Parker Treat had two strikes on Charley Page, New London's husky recruit to the catching staff. Then Parker lobbed one over as big as a balloon and.
 To make matters worse after win ming the first game and getting q look at the sort of team O'Hagan has been masquerading on top of the heap, Kennedy drafted Percy Sum- ner Rising to save his pitchers and put the outfielder in the box. Percy had all the slants on the calendar and some that have not been tabu- lated. There's no fuss and feathers about his delivery, no windup and no preliminary motions. He simply stands facing the batter with the bali in his hands, grabs the pellet hard, winks one eye and lets her go. His new simplified delivery worked like charm. Seven of the Brassmakers thought so when he famed them out.
 Altogether it was great day for New London. In the two games Wa terbury made four hits, and one run. Two hits were made of each pitcher. New London made twelve hits in the two games, just enough to win. Both teams played speedy ball. although Waterbury piled up errors fast in the first. In the second game Rising had great support. The infielders and outfielders worked all the harder be- cause they felt that the team was handicapped and Rising set the ex- ample with some great fielding stunts. Page caught both games and did well. His throwing to bases was not quite so spectacular as on Thurs day and one base was stolen on him in each game. The O'Hagans had evidently heard of his prowess. for few of them attempted to steal. One of his throws caught runner at least two yards off the base. Keane's fielding in the first was a treat. Ken nedy leaped into the air and nailed high throw by Curtiss in way to warm the cookies of every fans heart. In the second game Rising monopolized the lions shares of the fielding stunts, but several other play. CTS took hand. Rankin raced over toward center and grabbed a liner in one hand which probably helped the Whalers out of bad hole.

HOW FLORA TEMPLE WON.
Death of James w. Hoyt, Trainer of
 Highland Maid.

James W. Hoyt died at his home in Chester. \. Y,. Saturday. aged 01 years. With the exception of Guy Miller an John Michen of Goshen he was the last survivor of the pioneer trotting> horse breeders and trainers. It was he who bred the great old time mare Highland Maid, the trotter that just beat ont the famous Flora Temple single heat and forced her In the next heat to her at that day record lime of 2;2I. This was in the famous race on the old Union Cours , in July. 1854. and it is now of positive knowledge in trotting chronicles that the heretofore unbeaten Flora Tenn pie would have been no match for Highland Maid. that .histenie. F racs having been thrown to the former by the driver of the Maid In the decisive heat. when the odds had changed from largely in favor of Flora Temple to 10 to in favor of Highland Maid. The driver of the Maid. who was likewise her owner. he having bought her of Hoyt. 1t was openly charged made Sl00.0O0 by driving his own horse to lose.
 How that great race was lost to Highland Maid was a reminiscenee of the veteran horseman Hoyt that always brought tears to his eyes. He had raised the mare. had tried her out and knew what she could do and had discovered one peculiarity about her. She would positively break her gait or slow mp if her hea was not well held m ny check rein. When Hoyt took her to Long Island at pri- vate trial. the mare the watch being held bv Hiram Woodruff. the great trotting authority of that day. show ed the amazing speed of 2:14. Af. fer much persuasion Hoyt sold her to Jacl. Nodine for Si.000. When she was matched to trot with Flora Temple. then tho greatest trotter in tho world. Hoyt explained to Nodine her peculiarity of refusing 10 trot without t tight check. Hoyt was eager to drive the marc himself. and he always declared that if he had been permitted to do so the whole subsequent history of trotting would have been changed.
 But Nodine chose to drive the marc himself. Flora Temple. owing to her previous performance. was inc favor ite as big odds at the opening of tho race. She won tho first heat only af- ter a desperate struggle This open ed the eyes of tho sporting people present as to the possibilities of Highland Maid. this new conner on the track. and when in the second heat tho Maid not only forced Flora Temple to go a mile three seconds faster than she had ever trotted be- fore and won the heat with evident case tho crowd Tn front went wild. and inc odds changed to iO ta in favor of the Maid. The largest amount of money that had ever been nut up on an event at the Union Course was ventured on Highland Maid that day.
 Tn the third and decisive heat to the dismay of the hackers of High land Maid and almOs. to the heart break of Jim Hoyt. Flora Temple came in m easy winner. the Mail having to all appearance given up the race. but when she came along under the wire and Hoyt saw her check rein banging loose all was plain 10 him. Moline. when Hoyt took him to task for this. declared inst the rein had come loose by accident.

HANDCUFFED WERE THEY. Waterbury Policemen Were Unkind
 to New Haven Brethren.

The Waterbury policemen demon- strated more clearly than ever yes- terday that they are not only the best policemen in the state of Con- necticut when 1t comes to protecting the city's interests, but they are also the best baseball team that repre- sents police force in the state. They met the New Haven guardians of the peace on the local baseball field yes- terday and while the thunder crashed and the clouds darkened the field they played rings around their op- ponents. Sullivan, who was hailed as ringer by the localmen, when they met in New Haven. was agin on the slab for New Haven yesterday. The local billy carriers hammered his slants all over the lot and when in the fourth inning Carey, which name by the way may be assumed, was sent in to take his place, the locals objected. as they were not playing against professionals.
 Wallace did the twirling for the Waterbury brass buttons and he had a whole barrel of sport with the New Hayenites. who almost broke their spines trying to hit him. Wa terbury made five runs in the first two things which completely demor- alized the visitors. When the eighth inning arrived the rain began to fall and New Haven by that time had managed to get three men over the plate. mostly through errors. Wa terbury fin the meantime had made two more runs and as the rain be- gan to come down in shower baths. Umpire Eddie Farley called the con test of and the New Havens left the grounds satisfied that Waterbury eoppers were all to the good. The score:
