Cyrus Voorhees, Was More Than Generous to New London
 All Other Results.

ss IL was nOt SllVef pldLter on WQlcn Cyrus Voorhees,, esq, handed up the game yesterday to our friends from New London, but golden one, on which was placed ball of silvery whiteness. It was such an offering that Sam Kennedy and his war horses from the whaling village simply fell over one another to seize. It was a gift so unexpected that fiendish smile of delight is still, no doubt, Illuminating the countenance of the much disliked manager of the New Londons. After having the game won, yes and helping to win it, by driving in two runs, by hit that made even VOorhees pinch himself to see if he were living, big Cyrus went heaven ward, until the many balls driven to all parts of the field, punctured his balloon and he came down with a dull thud and the game was lost. And Cy was not the only guilty one in this rout, for Baker, McAndrews and Thackara were carried aloft hanging to the ropes of Cy's airship and they were deposited with the rest of the wreckage when Sam Kennedy !. It was rout as inexcusable as it was humiliating and some of the players deserve to be laid across mothers knee and get shingled.
 The thoughts of that shutout the other day, when Voorhees, let the New Londons down without hit or a run, were ranking in the breasts of the Kennedyites when they stepped up to face Cy yesterday. Smash went the first ball pitched as Curtiss lam med 1t out to deep center. McCabe was under it, however, but not so the next two. Smash again went the bat against the ball as Keane sent it to the fence for two bases. Again came that crack as Finn drove another ill the same place, and Keane came home. Bang went the ball again, but once more was McCabe under it. The next man, O'Rourke, went out from third to first and the fans breathed easier as but one run had been scored
 The Prodigals were not to be de- nied their little diversion, how ever. for McAndrews got four bad ones, McCabe hit single one. Swan der went out to center and Mean drews came home. Nichols landed safely on first and McCabe on third because the umpire said he was safe. O'liagan slammed one to center and in trying to make 1t two was a dead one at second, but McCabe came home with our second run. The ,neKteman, billiard, died from second to first. New London tied the score in the third on single by Curtiss, a sacri- flee and long fly to left.
 Tn. the fourth we went racing to the front. After Captain O'Hagan had flied out to right, Pat billiard hit a safe one to right, Thackara was hit by the ball, but was forced out at second by Baker. Voorhees, surprised the fans by slamming one into right field and sent two runs home. Me- Andrews and McCabe followed with safe L:ngoes and Voorhees, came all the way around. McCabe then led oft first and was caught between bases and kept lodging until McAndrews had crossed the plate with the fourth run, when he decided to get out.
 There the score remained until tue sixth. the awful sixth. when the pres entation by Cyrus took place. keane had made hit and Finn and Rising had been retired from second to first. O'Rourke and Rankin followed with safeties and Kennedy drove both home with screaming two bagger and then the fans sat up. Kite and followed with sure hits and Thackara, Baker and McAndrews put the dressing on the cake with bum misplays. Finn on his second tirne up struck out and when ahe scorers counted up they found that New London had made just six with a total of seven hits and six runs. The whalers made one more in the eighth. We had a chance to do some- thing in the eighth ourselves. but a pretty double play nipped us and alI we could scrape up was one lone tally and there we stopped as did New London as well. The score:
