Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-05-18
BASEBALL NOTES.


 Who'll ever forget it? Tri-State tactics those. That was simply punk" Even Dr Hayes was sad at heart.
 That game made everyone feel tired.
 Let's hope it will never happen again.
 Manager Tom Fleming should be disciplined.
 Nineteen runs in six innings. What a swatfest!
 ,r-Ws, are sorry to say 1t but Jack Bagley was about as bad as the rest. We will forgive Joe Theisen for all he ever did to us, until the next time. The exhibition between the scribes and the city officials cannot be much worse than yesterdays contest.
 It must have reminded Joe Thei- sen of the days when he was one of the worst kickers in the league.
 Fortunate for Waterbury that Supervisor Kennedy was present and saw the antics of Fleming and his tribe. A protest might have availed something.
 If the boys didn't do much batting they held down their times at bat by the many free passes to first. Such a bunch of dead head tickets were nev- CT issued in one game in life time.
 The Prodigals did some of the worst hitting that they have ever at tempted on the local grounds. Only Wagner could Ind Voltz, but those nine bases on balls were welcome gifts.
 While the outfield is in bad shape. yet the fielders should be instructed to lie down on the ball if they cannot get it any other way. Too many runs are being made by letting a single hit get by the outflelders.
 The Aaron Burr Conspiracy.
 What did Lawrence say to the um- pire? Only the umpire and Law renee know. And what did Tom Fleming say to Lawrence? Only Tom and Lawrence know. They must have been sweet words.
 Lefty Rogers will have to keep up that practice if he wants to locate the plate. He got them over many times. but they were all sky scrapers. The rest has done his arm good, but prae- tice is what he wants now.
 Great excitement at the ball grounds this afternoon. Denny Lahey's base ball team. minus their former leader, Harold Archibald Gross, had 1t out with the city ofi- cials. See score in tomorrow nights issue
 They are beginning to shout about the lack of attendance down in Bridgeport. Can 1t be the old fans are going to desert Father Jeems this seasonl He does not deserve 1t, for his team is to-day playing brilliant baseball.
 Waterbury is certainly turning them out to the games. Two middle of the week games and each with Saturday attendance. Did ve get that game here with New London to-mor- row ve would turn them away from the gates.
 Tied for third place with Bridge port. If we could only manage to take the game to-day and the one to- morrow we could speak to Miss Nor vich and Miss Hartford very closely. The stars seem to have turned our way once more and perhaps. well let us hope.
 Cy voorhees vas out tossing a fev yesterday The T1umps doesn't seem to have given him the bumps very badly and this warm weather ought to work magic in that long arm of his. Let us hope his next one will be a victory and the hootoo will have vanished.
 Terry Roxsrs fs another player vho is beginning to vin the eorf- dence of the fans. He has not made an error or ntzplay since he has soire1 the Orators. and he Is holding hIs ovh fn the batting squad Phosnix anf Eoeers have certainly injected eoEe ginGer into the Orators- DrttseDoFt Te1egrsn-
