Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-05-03
THE DIAMOND.
NORWICH WAS SECOND VICTIM
 OF PR0DIGALS.
Rain Prevented a Full Game. But Allowed Waterbury Chance
 to Win.

Norwich was outplayed by Water bury at the ball field yesterday af.er- noon and if the game had not been called during the sixth inning because of rain the score would have been much larger than to 2. Norwich put Up very poor exhibition and the game was as one sided as the score indicates.
 Don" Mckay was on the slab for Waterbury and the Yale boy pitched nice game allowing only three hits. He gave three free passes and also clipped man but only one of them resulted in a run.
 Ira Plank. who was i'll the points for the visitors did some very poor twirling. but also received some wretched support. his teammates hav- ing four errors in six innings. He was as wild as hawk, passing six men. and hitting another. besides be- ing touched up for six hits including two two baggers. O'Hagan and Wagner the new men were seen by the local fans for the first time. The latter got away with nice bagger.
 No regular umpire was on hand at starting time so Cy Voorhees, and Sullivan of Norwich did the umpire act. They did well at that.
 Norwich got started in the second inning getting a brace of runs. Me- Kay put one into Perkins ribs and the latter went to second on passed ball. Mckay then put a nice one up to Accorsni and the latter lifted it over the centerfeld fence. That was all the scoring done by Norwich as in the next few innings it did not get a loolSin.
 Waterbury went to the front in the second and it was all velvet for the Prodigals for the remainder of the game. After Rogers had died Thack- era sent one to the fence in left field. Cote could not find the ball and sev- eral of the Norwich players went out to aid but "PerIy" had completed the circuit before the lost one was dis covered Mckay went out from sec ond to first. but McAndrews walked for the second time. He went to second on passed ball and went to third on Accorsini's error of Nc Adbt tloubtitts F'Ndufi't 'htht tp time with a neat two bagger and two runs crossed the plate. Waterbury had q picnic in the third and if the rain were not falling fast the players might have been batting yet. O'Hagan was up first and walked. He died trying to steal. Wagner poked out a two bagger and Plank almost put the ball through Terry Rogers back. Thackera also bummed his way down as Plank was as wild as hawk. Mckay helped things along with. a single and two runs came oin.ar,Me- Andrews followed with nice hit. McCabe hit one 10 Soffel which was too buggy for him to handle and Nc. Kay and McAnilfevs scampered home. Plank handed out his fourth free pass. Swander walking to first hut Nichols filed to Accorsini and O'Hagan, who was mp for the second time, filed out to Ball. Waterbury was a little suspicious that Norwich was playing for time and thereafter did not try to increase It's score. Af- ter Norwich had gone out in order in her half of the sixth it was decided to call hte game as the weather was getting wet so Cy Voorhees, wko was yelled in his inimitable manner: "Game called on account of rain"
 The features of the game was the fielding of Cote and the all round play of McAndrews who accepted five diff. ficult chances and out of four times at hat received two bases on balls and had two hits. The score
