THE DIAM OND
WE LOSE AND
 THEN WE WIN
Battles of Pitchers in First and New London Triumphs Only
 One Twirler in Second.

The two games played with New London yesterday were not without their features, although both were slow and at times dull and unexcit- ing. In the first place Warren Me- Laughlin was twirling his last game for the Whalers for he has been sold to Springfield along with Curtiss the third baseman. The left-hander new CT pitched better baseball and he held the Prodigals at his mercy all through that first contest. It was a fitting ending to his career as Whaler. Then Mike Hickey, the umpire was sick before he began his work and when Harry O'Hagan objected to some decisions Mike went off like a toy balloon and the Prodigals' captain was put out of the game. So quickly was this done that the spectators did not realize for moment what was happening. Mike and Captain O'Hagan never did get on well to- gether and for once the spectators sided with Captain O'Hagan as they believed the umpire was little too nasty. The cause of it all was this. III thC tuiu lllliuS oi tuc ulot game with two out we got three men on bases and it was O'Hagan's turn at bat The umpire called strike on O'Hagan and look of scorn pass ed between the two. A bad ball was then put over the plate and OHagan called out to the umpire. ''why didn't you call that striker Get out of the game. you ain't the whole league O'Hagan" called out the umpire. Then Captain Harry with bat in hand talked and gestlculated and umpire Mike talked too and swung his mask but the result was that O'Hagan took his place on the bench. It .lost-us a | fair chance to win the game for Jack Walsh, who took O'Hagan's place struck out, leaving the three men on bases. It was the only one good chance we had to get run across the plate.
 Parker Treat had been doing good work himself in the box and the Whalers scored only in two innings One run came in the fourth on singles by Rising and O'Rourke and because Eddie Swander booted one of the hits | Another came in the ninth on d0u ble by O'Rourke and single by Ken nedy. Eddie Farley batted for Jack Walsh in the ninth in an effort tc change the luck but Mclaughlin was not to be found. The score:

HURST MAY REFEREE.

Goldneld, Nev, Aug 1S.-Eyery- thing is in readiness for the train ing of Battling Nelson and Joe Cans. George Gardner and Jack Clinord will be with Nelson at once. Later on additional training partners will join the camp, and Friday will see the Battler housed in comfortable train ing quarters. The first week will consist of slow work, just enough to acclimate him. Joe Cans, whose wife is here with him, started light work yesterday at Columbia, where he will make his headquarters. He pur- chased a three-bit Chinese basket hat and a pair of khaki trousers yester- day for work on the road, remarking that he would look like proper rube. The selection of the referee IS left to the club. In view of Cans statement that two of those mention ed were too old to referee a finish fight. 1t is probable the referee will he either Jack Welsh, Jack McGui- gan or Tim Hurst. Graney Is out Of the question.

NO EARNED RUNS.
Waterbury. August IS. 1906.

Waterbury, August IS, 1906. Mir Sporting Editor.
 Please inform me what an earned run is? If man got his base on balls and the next man up knocked out a three-base hit and drove him home, would that be an earned run? If a man was hit with a pitched ball and went to first and the next man up drove him home, would that be an earned run7 Is it the official scorer who Is to decide when an earned run is made? A FAN.
 In the first place. earned runs are not counted any more in the sum- mary. When it Is done occasionally in some of the scores. 1t is simply through choice of the scorer. Ne!th- CT one of the above situations re- ferred to would be constituted as an earned run. A batter must hit safe ly and be driven home by clean hit ting. or he must steal his way home without errors of any kind.

The Second Game.

The one predominant features of the second game was the pitching of Eddie Hogarty. He had the Whalers doing blenders and twisters trying to find his curves and but three hits were made off his delivery and those three in the same number of innings
 Aside from this he struck ont eight of the heavy New London hitters. The run scored against him was caused by errors of McEnroe and O'Hagan and two sacker by Long. Back of him the team played gilt edge ball with the exception of those two mis- plays and how they did hit the ball. Ward will not soon forget how they hammered his curves all over the lot. Every man on the team got a hot and Cooney Rice and Eddie Swander lei with three each. It was a great swat ting fest and some of the boys' aver ages will benefit thereby. The score:

WATERBURY AFTER MERIDEN
Silver City Cops Want to Trim New
 Haven Before Making Promises.

Patrolman Walsh of the Water bury police force. and a member of the police base ball team of that city. was In town yesterday afternoon. says the Meriden Journal. trying to ar- range a game, or series of games. with Captain Doran of the Meriden team.
 Captain Doran did not definitely decide to play the Brass city coppers. but gave MT Walsh to understand that if Meriden were successful in the games next week with New Ha- ven there would probably be a game played against Waterbury. Tie Wa terbury team has defeated New Ha- ven twice this season. and a game would undoubtedly prove interesting. If Meriden does not defeat the New Haven team. the base ball season for the local cops vili probably be ended.

COURT PHELAN's CHALLENGE.

Court Phelan's baseball team ap- pears to be very anxious to get a game with their brethern in Water town. hut they claim that although Manager McGowan of that place had a great deal to say some time ago ago what his team could do, nobody can get a word out of him since Cour; Phelan's challenge. Capt Preston said today that he would like to see Mir McGowan come out like man and admit that his team is no match for the Waterbury players or take up the challenge and then let the question be decided on the diamond. ''f think" remarked Mir Preston somewhat boastfully. that we have the best baseball team connected with any court of Foresters in the state and no doubt the watertown people know that and have made mp their minds to have nothing to do with us"

going home somewhat demoralized.
Eyes, sirs," said the lawmaker, Il am
demoralized, and this reminds me of
story picked up from Brother Swan
son, who has been having tough cam
paign in Virginia for governor. Swan
son says that at the battle of Malvern
Hill Gen. Lee met loose-jointed, an
gular soldier-one of those fellows who
looked like his limbs were made of
long saplings. with an extra supply
of knee and hip joints, like the fifth
wheel of an artillery wagon in case OF
accident.
"'Where are you going, STRIP asked
the general.
"1'm gwine back to the wagons, gen.

mander.
