Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-04-27
THE DIAM OND WASN'T HARTFORD
 RATHER LUCKY!
With Game Tied at the End of the Ninth the Clouds Opened Up
 Other Games.

The 700 fans who journeyed to Reidville yesterday would have seen an extra inning game between Hart ford and Waterbury had not the weather man interfered and stopped the contest at the end of the ninth inning, when the score was a tie, } to 3. Still the rooters were satisfied, for it looked during the early part of the contest as though the visitors would win, the two runs which they tallied in the first being seemingly very large to Waterbury, who, failed to send man across the plate until the sixth. We went to the front in the eighth and the Optimists were sure that our run to the good would suffice, but Hartford went after Far ley with vengeance in the ninth and sent a man across the plate to tie the score. The home team was fortunate that only one was chalked up as four safe swats had been made off Farley in this inning. Water- bury had just finished their half of the ninth when Umpire Mackey, after a short delay, called the game because of the rain and darkness.
 } Though not hit was made in their half of the first, Hartford scored twice. Heinie Gastmeyer, first up, sent a grounder to McAn- drews and Mac, duplicating his stunt of the opening game, fumbled, and then threw the ball about five feet over Lachance's head, Heinie going to second. He went to third on the sacrifice of Justice. Lelivelt walked and stole second. Fallon also walked and with the bases full Farley made a wild pitch, the runners advancing a base. Lelivelt also scored when Nehring grounded to Lachance. Hartford did nothing more until the ninth, and for that matter, did not make a hit until the eighth. In this round they drew blood, but it was a very scratchy bingle and either Ward or Nichols should have captured the ball. which was credited as a hit. Delgram hit Texas leaguer over shortstop, Nichols and Ward going after it. They were afraid of collid- ing and as result the ball dropped safely and the chances of Farley pitching a no hit game were lost.
 Waterbury could only find Newick, an old Dartmouth pitcher, for one hit until the sixth, when two safe ones netted one run. McAndrews, who led off with single, went to second on McEnroe's sacrifice. La chance drew base on balls, but died at second when Nichols hit a ground CT to Gastmeyer. McAndrews. who had taken third on the play, ambled home when McNellis hit peachy single to left. Ward ended the in- ming, flying out to Justice.
 In the eighth Hartford had an at- tack of erroritis, which aided by hit, gave us two runs and placed us in the lead. McEnroe was safe on an error by Captain Moves. Lachance laid one low for a bunt. but Nehring picked it up and hurled it poorly to second. Nichols continued the bunt- ing and Gastmeyer, who covered first. squarely muffed Newick's throw and McAndrews scored. McNellis advanced the runners with a sacri- flee. but Lachance died at home on Wards tap in front of the home plate. But Herman Bronkie was equal to the occasion and sent his team in the lead by scoring Nichols with a single. Schincel left Ward and Bronkie. as he flew out to Jus tice.
 Hartford got busy right away in the ninth and their few rooters in the grand stand made as much noise as a regiment when the visitors swatted Farley. Lelivelt opened the hit-fest by sending bingle to cen ter. and Fallon followed 1t up with a safe one to right. Bronkie was again on to his job and by good tnrow nailed Lelivelt at third. Fallon taking second on throw in and SCOT ing when Nehring cracked safe one to center. Moves flew out to McNel- lis. but O'Leary set the fans shiver- ing when he connected safely. Del gran ended the agony by going out. McNellis to Lachance.
 Farley caused a shout to go up fin the ninth when he widowed for two bases and there were visions of a run. McAndrews sacrificed. but Eddie perished as McEnroe went out, Moves to Nehring. and Lachance flew out to center field. The score:
