"Picnic Suppers."

Picnic suppers" were described In
1902 as new fashionable craze in
England. A list was compiled of the
various dishes, each with a number
against it, Then lots were drawn
by the party, and each person had to
provide the dish marked with the
number he drew. Such suppers were

Waterbury Carried Home New Ha-
 ven's Eoalps Yesterday.

Bill Peet of New Haven tells about
 our police champions in that game of
 yesterday as follows:
 He's q ringer! That son of a
 gun is ringer! We won't stand for
 him!" shouted several members of
 the New Haven police force at Savin
 Rock yesterday afternoon during the
 game with nine representing the
 Waterbury police department. The ringer referred to was none other than Wallace, the former Wa terbury state league club pitcher and 1t was due to the fine twirling |of Wallace that the visitors were en-
 abled to walk off with the big end of an 8 to 6 score.
 New Haven cops sent up the flag of distress in the first inning when Captain Carey was forced to leave the game on account of being over come by sudden dizzy spell. Even
 with this handicap, the New Haven
 bluecoats put up plucky fight and
 at one time led the race by the small margin of two runs.
 It would be hard to find two ball |clubs wearing sadder assortment |of odds and ends of base ball rai- ment. There was Catcher Tracy
 wearing pair of dazzling red stock ings and a dirty brown uniform.
 Pitcher Sullivan wore sparkling electric blue shirt and blue and white striped stockings Phil Laut- tenbach capered around third in a sailor hat and yellow undershirt. Billy Doherty played short with a |catcher's init as big as a feather bed. Conner Eagan in right wore a green belt and a smile.
 So much for the equipment. T he
 game was we'll worth the price and abounded in sensational features. Four double plays were pulled of in regular major league style. Phil
 Lauttenbach slid home in the last half of the ninth while the crowd yelled like Indians. Phil is not built exactly on delicate lines and when 1t was evident that he in tended to slide home the crowd stood on tip toe and held it's breath while the muffied sound of ripping cloth came from the vicinity of the home plate. Waterbury hung up a couple of
 runs in the first inning. Horan's |single, a batter hit and two infield
 chances, with an error by Cassidy made this possible. The locals first run came home in the fifth. Kerri- gan reached first on Cuttings error and was forced across the plate on three successive free passes. In the first of the sixth Waterbury added another chalk mark, but this score was more than evened up by New Haven in the second half of the inning. Two rank Waterbury er-
 TOTS and three hits brought home four runs.
 The sorrowful seventh took all the heart out of the local coppers. for in
 this inning the visitors spread them selves in the art of hitting which, coupled with wild heave to first by
 Phil Lauttenbach, netted just five
 runs and put the game on ice. The score:

The game was fast and exciting until the last man was out in the ninth. In the latter half of the first with three men on bases for the Hayseeds a fast drive was made to Moran at second. who threw to Conrad at first who quickly returned it to second. catching both of base. So quickly and neatly was the triple play executed that the spectators when they realized what had happened with one accord arose and cheered the clerks to the echo. This seemed to take the starch out of the Hayseeds @ for tBrother1 Bill Thompson. the crack batter of the City Amateur league. was on first, and George Gaffney. first base man for the Pastimes. had made the drive to Moran which led to the triple. The game throughout contin- ued fast and exciting until in the fifth inning. through clean hitting. the clerks scored five runs. In their half of the sixth after getting three men on bases with Thompson at bat he knocked an easy grounder to one of the infieIders who threw wild to home.

After the game all the clerks sat down to a fine shore dinner at Nor ris Park hotel. After dinner the hours passed pleasantly in the parlors with dancing and songs.
