Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-06-30
THE DIAMOND
WE HIT BUT
 COULD NOT RUN
Bronkie Batted Out of the Box By the Prodigals All Other
 Games.

1 The Hartford Courant tells of that
 game of yesterday as follows:
 The joke was certainly on MT
 Bronkie. After the game in Water
 bury Thursday, when Oliver w.
 Badgley was given some rude treat
 ment by the Waterbury batsmen, Bronkie expressed desire to be sent
 in against his old team mates, as he
 claimed that he had studied the
 weakness of each batter and he
 would surely know how to fool them
 Bronkie had evidently forgotten that the Waterbury men had been study
 ing him bit, for in five innings yes
 terday he was swatted for ten hits,
 including triple and two doubles.
 One of the hits was a present from
 Murphy, and Crook was responsible
 for another, although they could not
 be credited with errors.
 When Harry O'Hagan had opened
 the sixth with triple to the fence
 there was change in the makeup of the team and better results were
 obtained thereafter. Luyster was
 called in from right and put in, the box, Bronkie went out to right, and lO'Leary was placed in center, Mur- | phy being removed from the game. Luyster was in good form and Wa
 terbury only made three hits of his
 delivery. Kretchel was easily the
 star of the game. He drove in two of the runs, including the winning
 tally, making three hits out of three
 times at bat, and his throwing arm
 was deadly. He practically saved the
 game in the ninth for he Jagged Mo Andrews, who was bent on hypothe- eating second. With McCabe up and
 Swander on deck there was likely to
 be trouble.
 There was no recurrence of the Edisgraceful fighting that character ized the previous visit of the Water
 bury team. Policeman Hurley and several cops in plain clothes inter-
 mingled with the fans and were pre- pared to squelch any outbreak or un- gentlemanly language. O'Hagan, who looks young enough to be HI
 Ladd's son with his mustache shorn, tried to stir up muss with Dan Shannon few times, but Daniel
 waved him away with lofty wave of his arm and refused to listen to the tantalizer. There was an incl dent in the fourth round that is worthy of base ball note.. Tom Crook helped circulate the air. with three wide swings of his massive stick and Moves lifted a dewdrop to Voorhees,. Cy elected to take the ball himself. although experienced pitchers allow the infielders to look after the high ones. Cy squeezed the ball and then played the bones with his knees to show that he was scared. Kretchel then hit ball that Cy stopped and the big pitcher was feeling so good over his catch that he tried to beat Kretch out to the bag. The catcher got to the bag first and OHagan said few things to Voor- hees for trying to be funny. Kretchel got hit as result.
 Crook had a bad error in the third and he went after ball in the same inning that belonged to Gastmeyer, but his misplay was. not costly be- cause of the fast work of Bronkie. McCabe tried to sacrifice, but Bronx got the man at second. It was for tunate that he did, for hit followed. Bronkie would have retired the side in the fifth but for the poor work of Murphy. McCabe doubled after two were gone and then Swander sent fly to short center. Murphy ran in to catch it, but stopped and the ball fell safe. McCabe scored. Nichols followed with safe one and another run came in.
 A double by Nichols and singles by O'Hagan and Rice gave Waterbury two runs in the second. Luyster went in after O'Hagan tripled in the sixth. O'Hagan was caught at the plate and no run was made. After two were out in the eighth Thackara hit for two bases and scored when | Walsh made hit to right and Bronkie let the ball get by him.
 Gastmeyer hit the first ball pitched in the first for three bags and scored | on Luyster's out at first. In the | third. Gastmeyer singled and stole | and came in on Luyster's hit. Bronkie | singled in the fifth and Justice sac rificed. As third was uncovered. the | baseman playing in to get Justices bunt, Bronkie took advantage of it ard got to third. O'Hagan made a bad throw to third and Brunkie scored. In the sixth. Crook got first on an error by McAndrevs. went down on a wild pitch. and scored on a hit by Kretchel. In the seventh. | hit safely. got around to third on a high throw by Thackara | and scored on Fallon's fly to left. Hartford won out In the eighth. Moves walked after two were out. stole second and scored on Kretchers third hit.
