WALLACE GOT
 HIS YESTERDAY
Local Boy Not Strong Enough For Connecticut League Results
 of All Games.

..The worm turned yesterday and Springfield broke it's string of defeats by wallopihg Waterbury. And as is usually tfie case when the Brass City gang comes to Hampden park. the de feat was decisive after the debut had been dubious. The league leaders fol lowed their custom by pillng up q seemingly winning lead, only to see it dwindle before terrific onslaught on the ball by the Pony hitters. Banging the ball for 70 hits. with a total of p bases, the home team went to 15 to [ win.
 When 1t comes right down to cases, Bill Yale and his big stick made the combination that inflicted the torture on the visiting host. With the bases full in the fourth inning and the Ponies two runs to the bad. Yale's bat sent on the park in many day. Bill caught the leather plumb in the nose. or where its nose ought to be, and sent 1t tearing through the air far out to left. center. with Hughes and McCabe of Waterbury in hot pursuit. Yale was snorting on third base when the ball was returned, and he. too, scored on Flanagan's out at first.
 After that there was nothing to it. nothing at all but the question of how many hits Springfield was to get. Not a man on the home team missed the opportunity to land a safety except Flanagan. The Steamer couldn't make safe connection with the ball. but he showed he was in the game by dar- ing attempt to steal home. The feat was close to a success. zoo. and the fact that the ball ticked Drakes bat was the only thing that prevented a triple larceny. Three men were OH the bases and when Flanagan moved Luby and Hammond chased along. As Drake at the bat tried to get out of Flanagan's way, the ball struck his stick.
 Though Yale was not the only man on the Springfield team to hit. his vicious clouting was the big feature of the bee. In five times at bat, Bill got that same number of hits. And every one of them had the real ring to it. Walsh and McAndrews of the visiting bunch would readily vouch for the truth of that assertion in the case of two of the hits. for these fielders tried to stop them. The others were of the type mat didn't need any vouchers. On Yale's other ap- pearance at bat, he was hit by pitch ed ball.
 Ed McLane. under the handicap of not having pitched since Wednesday of last week. went in against Water bury and had to retire fin the third Inning ns he couldn't locate the plate Jack Hess was put in then and pitch cd one of his best games. An error by Hammond in the ninth paved the way for two Waterbury runs with two out. Harry O'Hagan came to time with a twU-bagger to center field fence. after giving one of the most exhibitions of natiness that the patrons of the game have seen in this city.
 Incidentally the crowd was set to wondering whether Manager Harold R. Durant of the Waterbury team has such thing as backbone in his make up. Hammond's error in the ninth was q poor throw that went into the crowd behind first base. Clarence Quinn. the old Norwich pitcher, was umpiring and he propertly refused to allow the run ners to advance more than a base each. O'Hagan was at the bat. and kept up his custom of mouthy base hall. Finally Manager Durant ordered Nichols to go back to second base and the player parked out a refusal In tones % loud as to he audible all over the stands. 4 runner was put in for Nichols and play was resumed.
 Waterbury started scoring in the first inning. McAndrews was passed and forced by McCabe. Hughes hit to right and stole second. A hit to left field by Nichols scored two runs and sr error by Drake let Nichols in. The Ponies scored two in the same inning. ransey reached first on Wallace's er- ror and went to second on o'Connors ,ut at first. Yale sent out his first hit md stole second. On Thackara's poor throw he went to third and counted while Flanagan was being retired at first.
 MeTane had given two passes in the
 
 D'Hagan was then safe on an attempt. 'd sacrifice. Thackara singled to cen er for two runs. In the same inning Springfield sent a man around. With he bases full. Luhy hit to the pitcher Ind O'Connor was easily out at the ,late. Then Walsh made a poor throw ,n Hammond's swine to third. and Tale came in. The home hIfters were 'elpless in this inning. when chances 'ffered to take q lead.
