Ladies Were Out in Force for the
 Games Played Last Saturday

All the ladies in the employ of the Oakville Co were at the Driving park on Saturday to witness the game be- tween the Oakville Co and the Buckle Co and they certainly helped their team on to victory. The game ended with a defeat for the Buckle Co by score of 14 to 6. This makes five straight for the Oakville Co and gives them lead of two games over all other teams in the league. The feat ure of the game Saturday was the home run made by Bob Moran. Mo- ran certainly is find and is doing fine work with the stick as we'll as in the box. At Corcoran's lot the Wa terbury Brass Goods Corp won from the American Ring Co by a score of 6 to 3. This ties the Brass Goods Co with the Novelty Go for second place. On the Athletic field the Novelty Co defeated the Waterbury Button Co by a score of II to z. The Berbecker & Rowland Co failed to show up for its game with the New England Watch Co and the game was award GU to the Watch Co. The standing is as follows:

There is but very little change in

Thacka-a came up rapidly last geek. and he, Farley and McCabe are Hose together. Rogers, Treat and Voorhees, also batted better last week md approached near the 200 mark. Rice made an extra big jump and an ,ther week like that of last and he rill be talking to some of the lead ITS. Hughes. the new man. stands yell in the few games and ranks up with, the leaders.
 In fielding Thackara has taken the ead away from Harry O'Hagan, get hng within nine points of a clean core. Captain O'Hagan dropped nst one point from his record of last reek. so that he was doing pretty rood work. Hughes, the new man, eally leads the fielding with clean core. but as he has played in only a lew games, the credit will hold him tood until he has greater number If plays to record. The other play ITS are holding their own. none of hem having done any remarkable ,oor playing. even McAndrews hay ng fallen back only nine points.
 In the pitching department Par ter Treat has taken the lead. al- hough having pitched but one game Hst week.

How the Teams fin the League Have
 Won and Lost to Each Other.

The Prodigals are at the head this week with Norwich still pressing them closely and with every other team in the league fighting like mad for that top position. It is a great race, perhaps the best that has ever taken place in the Connecticut league. There are but two teams in the league which have won but one game from each of their rivals. Nor wich has won but one game from Waterbury. and New Haven has won but one from New London. Norwich still holds the lead for having won the most games from any one team, having nine victories from the Springfield team. New London has two eight victories, one from New Haven and one from Hartford. while several of the teams have seven vic tories from each other. Two hum dred and forty-eight games have been played so far by the league. The following is the standing:

 IN HARTFORD
Rogers Won the First Game and Voorhees, Lost the Second
 Other Results.

Hartford and Waterbury broke even in Hartford Saturday afternoon and the double-header attracted a good-sized crowd. Rogers and Wilson were pitted against each other in the opening contest and it was an even thing until the ninth when Pete be- came tired and Waterbury was able to land on him. Rogers was in fine form and Hartford didn't have chance. Two new men were tried out by Hartford. Moffett, second base- man. and Wall, right fielder. Both played well. In the second game they did some effective stick work. The score:

 St Joseph finally got rid of the Tn- dian sign and put the lemons to the Hills yesterday.
 Bob Moran is certainly a nice twirler and al present Is as good as the next in this league.

In the presence of 200 or more
 people. Sunday morning at Corcor- ans lots. the strong Pioneer base ball team of the Brooklyn district and the Slashers of Exchange place met. The game was short and stubborn, each team scoring in the early part of the game. The Slashers were very confident of winning, couldn't see any possible chance of losing. With two out, score 2 to 2 end of the last of the eighth inning. with a man on second base. Dunphy, right fielder for the Pioneers, sent a terrible drive between left and right field, scoring the winning run. Score 3 to 2 in favor of the Pioneers. The fea- lures of the game were the wonder ful one-hand catch by Jerome on short, a three bagger by Kopp, and the excellent work of Stigberg and Brickel for the Pioneers. The Pion- eers will cross bats with the Quakers next Sunday for s25 side. The Pioneers would also like to see the of the Stanley Parks at this office at S:30 Wednesday evening to make arrangements for a game.

WON THEIR FIRST.

The St Joseph players threw a sur prise into the camp of the Washing ton Hills, last years champions, by defeating them in the second game of the day. The Tabs had been strengthened by several good play CTS and Tom Burns pitched fast and speedy base ball, holding the Hills in check throughout. The team be- hind him played gilt edge ball and it reminded the spectators of the old game the Tabs used to put up when they asked no odds of any of the teams. Old Bill Keavney. he of the Company C and state league experi- ence, was like rock on first base for the Tabs, and his work aided in the victory. The Hills were handi- capped, to be sure, by the absence of several of their players, but they would have found 1t difficult to beat out the St Josephs yesterday. In the very first inning the Tabs batted in six runs. which practically won the game for them. The score:

 The Merrimacs with Sal Savin playing in place of Camp started of like winners in the game with the Brooklyns and in the first and second innings secured three runs while the boys from over the bridge were given goose eggs. It was the last scoring for the Merrimacs however for the Brooklyn pitcher settled down to business and he was given the best kind of support. In the fifth inning came the Waterloo of the Merrimacs, for the Brooklyns ham mered Cassidy hard and aided by a l close decision of Umpire Waite l scored five runs before the side was retired. This clinched the game for | he Brooklyns and no more scoring vas done by either side. The score:

PAsTRIEs TOOK FIRST.

At 12:30 the Pastimes and the North Ends faced each other for the first game of the day. At the last moment Manager Sullivan of the North Ends found himself without a pitcher as Dick Phelan who has been doing the twirling had left in the morning for Mantle, being one of the advance guard of soldiers to pave the way for the coming of the rest of the militia. A twirler by the name of Bassert was found and his work was very good up to the seventh in- ming. It was nip and tuck fight up to that time when with the score 3 to ? in favor of the Pastimes the latter players lit on Bassert and hammered in two runs. Again in the eight they pounded in three more giving them the victory by a good margin. Bob Moran did good twirl- ing for the Pastimes and held the North Enders well in hand. The score:
