Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-23
THE DIAMOND
WIPED BY
 THE DANAHERS
Waterbury Stopped By the New Havens and Eddie Nolte-
 Other Games.

The sporting writer of the New Ha- ven Journal and Courier speaks in part of that game yesterday as fol- lows:
 Eddie Nolte was in pink of condi- tion in the battle with Durant's as- pirants for the pennant, and allowed this team to whom all have paid hon. age and obeissance for weeks, but two stingy singles. One of these gifts came in the fifth and the other in the ninth inning Eddie famed seven Wa terbury batters and allowed but two bases on balls. His opponent on the slab, another Eddie, with the name of Hogarty attached worked hard and allowed but six scattered hits, three singles and a couple of passes gave New Haven her only two runs of the game. while an error by Fletcher and Nolte, wild pitch and Il single by Ward gave Waterbury her lonely tally.
 This victory by New Haven, after losing eight straight, over Durant's naughty second steppers besides being a surprise to the entire sporting world, gives to the gentle fan the impression that the Brownies may be real after all. They have fought all kinds of sham battles and have been thrown and scattered in the dust. They have faced the big ones and the little ones and have received the same treatment from each one, but when they step up against the Waterburys, who have been holding trumps for weeks and make them plead pitifully for look in, base ball must be at it's worst. New Haven was unable to play without it's usual marring of the error column and the footing up of yesterdays record shows five black marks.
 "A play by sam" Kennedy al- though 1t did not work in the sixth inning of the struggle added one staiI, to the clean playing which up to this time had been characteristic of Dan aher's men.
 ''0ne would have no scruples against calling Kennedy's act a muckerish one. When he had reached first base in this inning on a clean single the ball was thrown to Lachance, who held out his hands and threw it out into right field, both he and Hayward who was also on base scoring. Umpire Me- Cloud did not see the play but he did see the ball rolling out into right field O'Rourke and Lachance explained the circumstances to the 'ump'' and Me Cloud righteously told Haywood and Kennedy to go back to the bases. If McCloud had fined Kennedy So and put him out of the game, be would have been acting the part of an "ump," but as It was, his calling the men back to the bases, although not seeing the play, was sufficient. The entire crowd of fans in the grand stands and the bleachers cheered Me Cloud on his decision.
 Hayward held the batting honors, being the only player on either nine who got more than one hit McAn- drews held the fielding honors, fielding his position cleanly, getting seven as sists without an error, all of his chances being difficult ones.
 "0ne double play served as the lone feature outside of McAndrew's field ing This play was performed by Wa terbury In the sixth, shutting out a runner at the plate and heading off another runner on his way to the ln- itlal section.
 Ham Wade, who will Monday depart for New York to join Me Graw's Giants. played a pretty field ing game as usual, getting four hard chances and making good in each case" The score:
