THE DIAM OND EVEN STEPHEN
 ONCE AGAIN The Prodigals Take the First Game From Hartford and Lose the
 Second.

Waterbury and Hartford met in double header on Saturday afternoon before the largest crowd of fans that has attended a ball game in this city. Waterbury won the first game through the clever work of Eddie Farley, who Insists that he is still able to do work in the box, and who proved his right to that insistance when he let the Hartfords down with seven hits. and these well scattered. Opposed to Farley was our Jonah all season, Billy Luyster, and for the first time we scored victory against this doughty little boxman. Billy himself says that the umpire helped Waterbury to beat him, but the great majority of the fans dispute that claim. One unpleasant thing hap pened in the sixth inning when Nichols drove the ball out into Fal- Ions territory in left field. Fallon ran in for the ball and captured 1t low to the ground. Whether he scooped it up or caught 1t free from the ground was mystery, but Um- pire Curley called the batter safe. At once Fallon came dashing in from the field and went after the umpire like wild animal. He pulled him around and wound up by calling him something worse than lobster. He was fined ten spot and put out of the game. Before he went he hurled his glove at the umpire and caught him nicely on the jaw. At once there was confusion for several hundred fans rushed on to the field to take a hand in the expected rumpus. The police drove them back and Fallon was escorted from the grounds. This decision killed all chances Hartford might have had of winning, for after that Farley had the hoodoo sign on them. The score:

CITY LEAGUE NOTES.

Pastimes look dangerous.
 Brooklyns are beginning to get anxious.
 Bob Moran Is certainly star box man, or rather boxboy, for he Is but a youngster.
 Thackara and Treat of tLe Water bury team umpired the game and did their work we'll and there was no kicking.
 Mike Madden would have given the Hills anything they asked for if they had beaten the Pastimes yester- day. When the Pastimes and the Brooklyns clash there will be some- thing doing.
 It looks now as though the Hills are out of the running for the cup this year, although they may make things interesting for the two lead CTS before the season is over. They never give up.
 Jimmy Kilmartin is like a boy that Is wearing his first pants. He had a dread of meeting the Hills yester day because couple of his men were to be away and the victory Is all the more pleasing.
 George Gaffney Is the new man. ager of the Independent baseball team, succeeding Eddie CWley who has resigned. George Mulligan is the captain. taking the place of Tom mic Lawlor who is playing regularly with Danbury.

DAN DWELL DID IT.

New Haven, Aug 20.-Three thou sand five hundred people witnessed the two games here Saturday, but there was little cheering, as they were mostly home rooters and the tenn gave them no chance to support them. There were two balloon as- tensions. one at the White City and one at the prairie. It was party of nine that went up at the later point. Kid Sherwood did the best hitting of the afternoon for the locals.
 In the first game, score to 0, New Haven did not get clean hit until Bunyan touched the sphere in the fifth. No man wearing the local col ors made he third bag. and while Corcoran pitched steady ball and Jopc caught with the old time regularity the fielding was ragged and the nec- essary hits never came. Springfield earned both runs and blanketed the Blue.
 In the second game, score 5 to O.. Tuckey went in for the locals and al- lowed Springfield thirteen hits while Luby, who replaced Hess, gave New Haven but four. The score:

s.cdnd Game Was Exciting.

Ths Pastimes, the leaders In the league. and the Washington Hills. inc champions of last year. were at each other in the second game. Tnis proyed to be a brilliant game up to inc last inning. Young Bob Morai was in his element and he held the hard hitting Hills down to three hits. Resides in this he hammered the ball hard himself and started his team to victory in the ninth Inning by driving in two runs. He struck out some of the best batsmen on the Hill team and proved a veritable stum- hing block at every point for the champions of last year. Snyder alss a,d good work for the losers and was found for only a few hits. With the score tied In the ninth inning when the Pastimes vent to bat the west enders went after the ball hard and succeeded in piling up five runs while tbeIr adherents cheered- The Hills were not to be whipped even at that. for they went out themselves to get a few runs and they managed to get tuo over the plate before their rally vas stopped The score;

 Lots of trouble Saturday.
 Did Failon catch that ball or did he not?
 New Haven has serious handicap in the race for the pennant just now in the absence of Captain Hayward from the game.
 The Harrisburg team of the Tri- State league is accused of deliberate ly losing games and the fans are sore over the matter.
 President Ban Johnson of the American league says that Detroit will remain in the league as long as he is president thereof.
 Jim Ennis is now with the Haver- hill team. His release was bought from Lawrence before the game Sat urday, and he was the fielding star of the game for Haverhill.
 rift, the star Brown pitcher. lost his second game of the season in the Northern league Friday. He took his defeat with very poor grace. and indulged in considerable kicking.
 Umpire Curley certainly had a strenuous time ducking the compli- ments that were handed his way and forgetting to duck when other things were handed to him.
 Report has 1t that Captain Harry O'Hagan is to be manager of the Wa terbury team next season, succeeding Harry Durant. who has made the team such a success this season.
 The Ponies have tough week ahead of them with four double-head- CTS scheduled. but Dan o'Neil has his team in better shape to play ten games than any other in the league. He has five pitchers. two catchers and an extra infielder.
 Waterbury threw the second game away Saturday when she had 1t won. McEnroe was responsible for the be- ginning of the trouble and Bill Rog- CTS followed him in his flight. It was a sad ending to an otherwise fast exhibition.
 Though neither Chicago team has won the pennant. yet arguments ds tO NltNntT lHt W 1ltt COA UT Nut Cubs Is the better team are In vogue Both look intentionally fast from New York viewpoint.
 The Boston Americans made nine runs in one inning against the New Yorks early this season and then dropped twenty straight. Recalling this fact the White Sox will be sorry they made those nine runs in one inning last Saturday.
 Baseball interest in Lynn is at few CT heat On a recent Saturday 5.2Oc people attended a single game there. while the Boston Nationals with double-header drew 4.ls5. The small CT city ,s only dozen miles from the Hub with a 10-cent fare prevailing between the two places.
 New Haven comes here tomorrow and as we are only one point ahead of the Danaherites, that will be a battle royal If Waterbury cannot vfn the pennant 1t expects to come In second or third and New Haven feels the same way. That will be a game vcrth going to see.

Trounced in the Second.

Lefty Rogers was on the firing line for the second game, and Bronkie, the ex-Waterburian, did the work for Hartford. This, too, was battle of the pitchers with the odds in favor of I,ogers up to the eighth inning. Bronkie had been doing great work. however. and during the whole game he struck out nine of the locals. With the score 2 to in our favor, the unlucky eighth began. Moffett started on with a hit in this inning and Bronkie sacrificed him to sec ond. McEnroe could have prevented him from getting home. but he fum- bled just long enough to allow Moi felt to get home with the tying run. Again he had a chance to retire a runner at second and he dropped the ball and as the result showed another run came in and Hartford had the lead. Tn the next inning we went to pieces entirely. A triple by Luyster was followed by single by 0'Leary. and then came errors by Rice and Rogers and three runs resulted which gave the visitors the game. The score:

struck Burke of Lynn on the head. causing his death. The court has not rendered any decision on the matter, hence the order keeping Yea ger out of the game.
 When Willie Keeler struck out Saturday the fans began to figure out when he had done so before and de- cided that 1t was his second whiff this season. The ball at which Kee- Ter struck was a sharp bender that broke in, but began to break when 1t was half day down. giving Keeler plenty of time to gauge 1t.
 Wade is the latest acquisition to the pitching staff of the Prodigals He Is now twirling for Danbury with good success. Wade had indifferent success in the State league, having been connected with Holyoke and Hartford. Just now he is in good form and ought to help out the rest of the staff.
 The following players of the Amer ican league are hitting for, .30v or better: Stone, St Louis, .362; Chase, New York, .357; Clarke, Cleveland, BAT; Elberfeld, New York, .346; La- joie, Cleveland, .335; Seymour, Phil adelphia, BPS; Mcclure, New York, .32O; Cobb.

 Three Fingered Brown has stacked up against the New Yorks five times this season and pitched a winning game for the Spuds in four of the five games. He won both of the l games in which he was pitted against Mathewson. He also saved a game for the Chicagos against the cham, l pions when he relieved the ascend | ing Reulbach in the ninth inning The slickest move the Chicago clut has made was when it got this fin ished moundman from St Louis.
 Altoona of the Tri-State league had a dollar day Saturday, but less than 300 fans attended the games, a double-header. too Doc Reisling | pitched the first game for Lancaster and won. In the second inning Man. ager Crolius was put out of the game for kicking at decision. He object ed to going and two policemen es. corted him of the field. Crolius filed a complaint against Umpire Latham with President Carpenter, who was in the owners box, but before the second game he concluded to pay his $5 and resumed play.

Wallace was pitching good ball for the Waterbury Independents on Sat urday against the Coe Brass team and but three hits had been made on him up to the fourth inning. Then his arm went back on him and he asked Captain Mulligan to relieve him. He could scarcely control the ball and Bill Thompson was sent in to do the work in his place. Bill proved he is twirler as we'll as fielder, for the Coe Brass boys could get but two hits of him and no scoring was done. The score.
