 AT THE GAME

 the Best.

1htCicoliu6 DdoC Ddll OuI III ueluNlllc yesterday afternoon, when Waterbury defeated Hartford, to satisfy the most ardent fan. Two pitchers were sent to the woods, one because he was
 being welted to all parts of the lot and the other because of his inability to find the home station with the ball. Badgely was the first unfortunate and the locals drove him to the tall tim- bes in the second Inning, while our own Lefty" Bill Rogers had to obey the command of his manager in the seventh after he had passed two men free and had given the third one three
 bad ones. It was slam bang affair in just one inning for each team and when the hearts of the local fans were sent into the darkness of despair in the fifth. they emerged into the light ness of delight in the sixth when the locals pounded the leather with all the vim that was in them.
 Waterbury began hostilities in the very first inning after Ward had been given a free ticket to the first sta ton. McAndrews sacrificed him to second and he took third when Roth- fuss juggled the hit of Swander. Schincel then drove Ward home with a safe drive to the outer garden. In the second we scooped in one more, when, with two men out, Rogers was safe on a fielder's choice. Ward then smashed one to deep left center for three bases and Rogers came home. Badgley then filled the bases by giv- ing two free passes, and he was beckoned to the bench, O'Connor talk ing up the job.
 The score remained at ? to 0 in our favor until the fatal fifth. Le- livelt had been thrown out from Schincel to Lachance. when Ward fumbled Karch's drive. O'Connor filed out to left and the fans breathed easier. With two out Gastmeyer hit, one to McAndrews and 1t bounded out of Macs glove and two men were on bases. Justice drove safe one out to center and Nichols let 1t go through him, and. before it was re- covered, one man was in and two still on bases. Moves than hammered out another safe bingo and two of the visitors raced over the last station. Rothfuss kept up the good work by banging out two-sacker and another man had tallied. Fallon followed with another pretty safety and Roth fuss was in with the fifth run. o'Leary kept up the good work of his com panions by driving out another beauty and Fallon took third. Fallon was then caught between bases and was tagged out at home. To make matters worse, Hartford scored again in the first half of the sixth. Leliyelt started off with safe ait and took second on the next out to first. He was sent over the plate on O'Connor's pretty two bagger. Their last run came in the eighth after Justice had made a three-base hit The next ball pitched passed Schincel and hit the umpire and Justice walked tn.
 Our turn came in the laft half of the sixth. Lachance got free pass and went around to third on Ryan's nice one to right. Mcdonald struck put, but Bill Rogers saved the day by out corking two-sacker to right and two runs came m. war1 | dropped a little punk hit that served he purpose.
