THE AVERAGES
ONE IN THE
 THREE HUNDRED
Bronkie is the Lucky One With the Stick This Week We Are
 Not Doing Badly.

Without including yesterdays game in the averages, Waterbury has one man batting in the columns with tie medals attached. This one Is the all around, smashing good ball player, Bronkie, who goes one over the 300 mark. The excellences of this young player ought to make some of the others extend themselves during the coming week and let the fans see that they do not deserve all the un- kind things which have been said about them in the past week or so. Next to Bronkie comes Ward, who although dropping two points from last week, still holds very consist ent record. McEnroe is next, having played i'll no games and holding the same percentage as last week. Nichols improved his standing of last week just a little, and so did Lachance, with all the hard knocks that have been given him. If that big fellow would only ignore the comments that are hurled at him and go after the ball instead of looking for the man who insults him, he will find that he will have majority of the fans with him who still believe he is the best first base man in this league Swander is the surprise party this week. and there must be something radically wrong when this once grea. batter keeps dropping as he is doing. The following are the batting averages.

THE DIAMOND
WON OUT IN
 TENTH INNING
George Lachance Gets Back Into the Good Graces of the Fans
 Other Results.

The 1000 fans out at Rockville yesterday were given the surprise of their lives, and once more the old feeling of confidence has returned, for the locals turned the trick on ,Holyoke. even If it did take ten in nings, or part of ten, in which to do it. It was not an errorless gamc by any means, for both sides were in the clouds, Holyoke doing bigger stunts with the airship than we did. The fans were thrown into their old state of hammer throwing in the very first inning, when with three men or bases George Lachance struck out. retiring the side. George was to come back at the knockers before that game was over, as you will see later. We began the SCOT ing in the third when, with the bases filled again, Lachance ham, mered hot one to Grubb at third which was too warm for comfort, and McAndrews and Nichols, who had singled in safety, came over the plate. Holyoke tied us in the fourth on double by Ramon and triple by Grubb. We went to the front again in our half of this inning on the worst kind of throwing by tho visitors. Two were out when Me- Enroe led too far off first and when the ball was thrown to catch him he dashed for second. Ramon threw the ball badly to second and McEn- roe, after sliding over second, picked himself up and dashed for third
 Hoffman threw at third, but it went into the bleachers aIfd McEnroe went over the plate! Holyoke sent cold chills down our backs in the next inning, when she scored three runs on two singles by Mattern and Dowd and bad errors by McAndrews and Mcdonald and a passed third strike by Schincel. We tied the score in the seventh on hits by McAndrews and two of the bummest kind of er- TOTS by Thackara, who took Farrell's place in the fifth. There the score remained until the tenth, when Schincel. the first man up for oar side, smashed out a long fly to Tom Dowd in left field, which Dowd dropped, Schincel taking second Lachance was mp next and his good friends were praying that he might do something. He was told to sacri flee and made two unsuccessful at

TABULATED STANDING.
Waterbury is Now Tied for Third
 Place in the Race.

The game of yesterday is used in the standing to-day as is the game played yesterday down in Bridgeport. The win of yesterday threw us into a tie with Norwich for third position. but both of those teams are lower in the percentage column than last week. Waterbury winning but three of seven games while Norwich broke even. Holyoke is the one good thing in the league going higher in the percentage column, winning five out of her six contests but dropped away down from her standing of last week but still retains her second position. Hartford was also bad loser last week, even with the incentive of S100 which the team failed to land. Bridgeport again came up the line winning six out of eight games play ed, while New Haven took three out of seven and the Whalers landed but two out of eight games. The follow ing is the tabulated standing up to and including yesterdays games:

As regards our pitchers we are of the opinion that we are fixed just as well as any team in the league at the present time.

Farley still heads the twirlers. and Bronkie. the most willing worker of all the players in the league. stands second. Yerkes. who was released. and Rogers follow in the order named.
