THE DIAMOND
CANDY KID
 REAL THING
Walked Away With the LaureIs Yesterday in Our Ten Inning
 Victory.

With smash of the ball like unto
 the snap of a whip, big Georga
 Candy" Lachance sent Josey
 ORourke over the plate in the tenth
 inning yesterday with the winning
 run that placed Waterbury firmly in
 third place and sent the Norwich
 contingent home to wonder how it all!
 happened. With that same whip-like
 crack, which sent the ball skimmine
 down the left field line, the few knock
 CTS, who have been taking great de-
 light in hammering our big first base
 man because he cannot make home
 run every time he comes to the bat,
 took to the tall grass and lost them
 selves, but not forever, for they will
 return, for the good book says you
 will always find chaff among the
 wheat, no matter how strenuousiy
 you try to remove it. And this was
 not the only stunt that the Candy
 one did. For it was that same mighty
 stick that started our run getting
 when he drove two men over the plate
 in the sixth inning and raced home
 later himself with the run that gave
 use the lead. Aside from this he had
 another two sacker, which amount
 ed to nothing, however, as his com
 rades could not help him along with
 their swat sticks. It was "Candy's"
 day, and Eddie Farley should never forget him, for he saved him a defeat just as surely as his name is what 1t is.
 . What a revison of form there is in the Farley that twirled against Bridge port last Friday and the Farley that ofticiated yesterday. It was an off day for our premier staff arrrst and yet, if you will glance closely at the score, you will see that in some re- markedly tight places he was there with the goods, and delivered them. And he had bunch of team mates be- hind him that did the meanest kind of things to Gus Soffel and his crew. Take the second inning for starter, and here we find that Perkins, the first man up, drove out clean two sacker and the Norwich players be- gan to smile, for they had already | made one run in the first inning on a | base on balls to Golden and triple | by SOffel. Those smiles quickly fad | ed, however. Perkins was advanced !, 10 third on. sacrifice or Cote. Me | Carthy then walked and the local fans l oreathed hard. for there were two on | bases and only one out. Mccarthy | started to steal second on the first | ball pitched. Schincel sent the bah | town to stop him and Perkins raced Or the home station. Quick as a lash came the return from ORourke md Perkins was nailed at the plate by everal feet. Farley then struck out Tom Tuckey. retiring the side.
 The fifth inning furnished some nore surprises. Cote hammered out
 safe drive for the first man up. Me- yarthy tried to sacrifice him but the all dropped into Farley's hands and vas sent like a shot to Lachance. a double play. Then came ome fireworks. Bastian. alias Ward, umbled Tuckey's drive, and Tom was afe at first. Pastor banged out a afe swat and Duffy followed with mother to left garden. Tuckey was
 fl like the whirlwind from the sec- nd station and was on his way . ome when Swander made as pretty
 pickup as any fan could desire, nd shot 1t like an arrow to SchinceI. uckey was checked at the plate with lany feet to spare and the fans were lid with excitement over the fast i laying of the locals. The second run the visitors was made indirectly by
 gift of Umpire Rorty. The latter, ke Farley. had an of day yesterday, 1d he was something fearful on i ills and strikes. Farley getting the . orst of It every time. It happened in le sixth inning. One man had been . tired when Soffel drove out his sec- Id three bagger of the day. The .xt man flew out to Sehlncel. Far y had two strikes on Perkins and mt one over the plate for the next ! le that was without a curve and I 1t the center of the plate as clean '
 as If carried over. "FialI' yelled Q umpire. and ''robber" and other De, 2 les yelled the fans. while Farley oked disgusted. just disgusted. srkins then smashed the next one 2 r a safe drive. and Soffel came home ! ith the gift of Rorty. while the fans lt like making an onslaught on the v ficator man. In the seventh fhe ., st two men up hit safely and were V crificed on another base. The nax, r m flew out. but Farley filed the 2 ses by walking the next. It look 2
 bad. for Gus Soffel was m ana V ,se previous three sackers sent cold 2 Ills down the backs of the fans. Not '
 Farley. He lef ont a few more Y Ks and sent three mighty out ~ pots across the plate. which Sorei n rommodatingiy hit at. and the sifa !. IS retired with three men on baSes ol
