THE DIAMOND
BATTLE OF THE TwIRLERs IN
 HARTFORD.
One Lone Run Won the Game From
 This City-Other Games.


 the hero of many baseball battle in
 Meriden, made his first appearance
 here as an umpire and he carried out
 the chiefs instructions to the letter. In the fifth inning Farley, the Wa
 terbury pitcher, was displeased be- cause a ball he pitched was called a ball and to show his displeasure he
 threw his cap in the dust Uncle Joe
 was after him at once and gave, him
 such dressing down, coupled with a
 warning, that Farley was as meek as
 lamb thereafter.
 The same batteries that were in
 the game yesterday worked in the
 contest in Waterbury. Over there,
 Luyster beat Farley out, to 4 The
 ex-Mcntreal pitcher was very anxious
 to win the game yesterday and re- venge himself upon the Hartford fielder-pitcher. But the old hoodoo
 was still working and Hartford won it's fourth game of the season from the Durant crew. Waterbury Is in all the dope books as one of the bes: teams in the league, but the team has yet to win from Hartford. Daly's men won three games here and one in Waterbury.
 Farley was at his best during the early stages of the game while Luys- ter improved as the game progressed. Luyster's pitching was the best seen here this season. Nichols secured the
 only hit of him and that came in the fourth after one was out In the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds Waterbury did not get man to first. The nearest the team came to SCOT ing was in-the second. After Nichols had struck out, Baker reached first on tumble by Daily. He stole second and got to third on O'Hagan's out.
 Wagner, a heavy hitter, was up, but the best he could do was to drive one to Moves, who shot the ball over to Conroy.
 Parry Thackara also had a chance to score In the third. He walked, went down on Farley's sacrifice, stole third when McAndrews struck out
 but was left as McCabe flew out to right. Thackara got his base again | in the fifth, as he claimed he was hit on the head when the ball struck his bat. If the ball had hit him where he said it did he would be out of the game for the rest of the season. The next change that Waterbury had was after two were gone in the ninth.
 Justice fumbled grounder of Mich ols. The latter tried to steal but | Kretchel's aim was true and Nichols was nailed at the bag, winding | up the game.
 Hartford did not get man to first
 until the fifth, when Murphy drew l four wide ones and stole second when
 Moves struck out. Conroy's out sent ffm f6i third but Kretchsl couldn't t
 get him home. The only run of the
 game was made in the sixth. Daily | few out to right. Justice worked Far | lev for a base. Gastmeyer went out to O'Hagan. Fallon hit to Wagner, | who made a costly tumble and the
 runner was safe. Wagner could have
 retired the side.
 With two out and men on first and
 second Luyster hit the first ball | pitched and it sizzled along the ground out to centerfield. Justice | legged it home and had plenty of time as McCabe didn't make try for the ! plate. Instead. he threw to third and caught Fallon, who tried for the bag
 as he supposed the ball would be re- turned in an attempt to head Jus tice of. Some of the Waterbury play
 CTS tried to make out that Fallon was put out before Justice crossed the pan but he was beyond the plate and tying his shoes when Fallon got stabbed. The score:
