THE DIAMOND
HARTFORD GOES
 DOWN AT LAST
Farley Pitched Masterly Ball and Struck Out Eleven of the
 Visitors.

 defeat to the, Hartford team in a close and not altogether a feature less game. Our premier twirler, Ed die Farley, was on the firing line and it was but very seldom one of his shots failed to find target. Three hits, one of them Texas Leaguer," which did no damage, were all the Hartfords managed to pull out of the woods. Two of the three came in the eighth inning and with the aid of one misplay, allowed the visitors to score their only run of the game. Eddie Farley was in rare form and the heavy hitters of the Hartford team fell before him like so many wooden soldiers before the sweep of baby's hand. Thirty times did the batters face him and eleven of those times they hammered holes in the air or made dents in the atmosphere. Not man reached frst until the fifth inning and second was as far as he travelled before the side was retired. Five strikeouts were credited to him at the close of this inning, but this did not seem to sat isfy him, for in the sixth he retired every man that stepped to the plate. In the seventh just three more men faced him, but none of them reached second. In the eighth was where the visitors managed to break the ice. Two men were out when Kritchel hammered out safe one and Eddie Swander proceeded to play marbles with it out in left field. Brogan, Hartford's new second baseman, had struck out twice before this inning and nothing was expected of him, when, To. and behold! he hammered one down the first base line, that went clear to the fence, and before it was returned Kritchel was home and Brogan was on third. He died there, however, for Charley Clancy struck out.
 We didn't do a whole lot ourselves until the fourth inning. The baseball ghosts of Roger Connor and George Harrington arose before the fans yesterday when they saw the chap who stepped into the box for Hart ford. Charley Clancy. willing, hard working, honest Charley Clancy, who never shirked and was always ready to jump into the breach to help out in the old days when Waterbury was a member of the league before. There were but few of the old fans present who recognized Charley and those believed that Waterbury would have a cinch for 1t was reported that Clancy was all in. His work demon strated one certain thing, that he is not by any means all in, and he has a whole lot of pitchers in this league beaten mile. Six hits were all the Prodigals could get off Charley's curves and four of these came in one inning. This happened in the fourth when after one man was out. Swan der, Nichols, 0'Hagan and Thackara smashed out clean singles and brought in two runs before Charley pulled himself together. We got an other hit in the fifth which did nc damage and another in the seventh which gave us our other run. So il would seem that Clancy did not dc so bad after all, especially when the team behind him could do no hitting
 One of the disagreeable features of the game was the absence of any official umpire and Bronkie for Wa. terbury and Wolfe for Hartford had to act. There were also some strange features in connection with the game. Harry O'Hagan had but four putouts on first base, while Thack- ara behind the bat had thirteen Swander in left had four and Nichols in right had three. On the Hartford side, too. Conroy, the first baseman had but eight putouts. while Fallon in left field had seven and Kritchel in right had four. It was a pitchers battle in which Eddie Farley carried on the honors. while Clancy had nc cause to feel ashamed. The score:
