Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-07-02
BASE BALL TID-BITs.

|
 Something wrong somewhere.
 Plenty of home games this week.
 What was the trouble Saturday boys?
 Bill Peet was with the Blues yes- terday.
 The Waterbury infield with O'Ha- gan out of the game hardly says a word.
 It is not at all likely that the game of yesterday will count in the standing.
 Thackara had three hits and re- ceived a base on balls out of four times at the bat.
 l It certainly was a joke watching Jerry Cornell behind the, bat. epdeavr bring to catch Sherwood $ shoots 'H ] Mike McAndrews certainly played hoodoo baseball both in the field and at the bat. Again we ask what was the difficulty?
 George Waite was not so bad yes- terday, although to listen to some VI hhoot Who lucy huOW lut game he was away of. 1 If Cooney Rice had received a base on balls or made hit the last time at the bat he would have had a bat ting average of 1000.
 Even Eddie Farley was not in the game at all times. There seemed to be an air of dissension lowering over the Prodigals, an air which should be dis pelled.
 Brother Bill" Thompson and Tommie Lawlor with the Hens play a fair game. Bill made one hit and was robbed of another by a fine catch by McCabe.
 Such exhibitions as that of yester- day will never take on Sunday. The amateur game was much more inter- esting as the players took some inter- est in the contest.
 Waterbury will play ten games this week including the one of yesterday. This will keep the Prodigals, hustling some and will give the twirlers all they want for Fourth of July week.
 In the ninth inning of yesterdays game Bunyan tried to get out at first 30 as to shorten the game. that's one reason why these Sunday games should count in the standing, other wise they will be farces. as the play CTS do not care whether they win or lose.
 Jim O'Rourke will not soon forget that reception he received in this city and he deserved it foo. Fans are worthy of some consideration ever from the secretary of the league and when two games are advertised they should he played or some good excuse given.
 The fans want to remember that in the official averages of the local players and in the official tabulated standing the game of yesterday is not included. Manager Durant informed the official scorer this morning that the game must count and It will be included in the averages or next week.
 People who sit in the grand stand and leave the game before the finish should have some consideration for the other fans. After the sixth or sev- enth inning many start to file out and they spoil the last few innings for the remainder of the crowd. ff you Intend 10 leave before the game 1 Is over sit where you can easily get nut.
 Manager Dursnt intends to make l Jim ORourke play two ganses in this I city just the same and to that end be i telegrarhed Manager O-Rourke that i he is schesiuled for a double header in this city on Thursday. Thst Is giving Ieeuns the four days notice and Man ager Dursnt says he doesn't care if there are only ten people on the zrvunds those tvo esnes will be played
