THE DIAMOND
THE PONIES
 WERE EASY
Eddie Hogarty Held Them Down We'll - Two Springfield
 Players Fined.

Last Thursday, when Springfield played in this city and Red Rorty threw it into Waterbury so hard that he had to be escorted from the grounds by the police, Dan O'Neil and his Springfield players said that Rorty was the best ever and covered his auburn head with laurels. Yes terday things were somewhat re- versed and that auburn head was wished many times beneath the earth that they might jump on it. While Rorty was not quite as bad yesterday as he was on Thursday, yet he had some of the same symptoms. Bill Luby was wild as March hare and, coupled with Rorty's unkindness to him, it resulted disastrously to the Springfield team, in the first and third innings especially. when the game was, won. Bill finally objected so strenuously to the cold deal he was getting that MT Ump stopped the game long enough to say that he would fine the next player that dis puted one of his decisions on balls and strikes. Then he proceeded to start Luby's bad temper again until the clash came in the eighth inning. Eddie Swander was given a horse shoe by Rorty on the last ball pitched to him, for it was clearly strike, as were one or two others. Luby made his most vigorous objection at this time and up went Rorty's four fin- nI tnd inc ot Big Bill would be short five spot on next pay day. Then Luby un- loosened a few verbal phrases that only the ump heard, but they were sufficient to send Bill to the bench to talk, it over with Dan O'Neil. Sev- eral of the other Springfield players butted into the fracas and Curtiss was singled out as the most obstrep- erous. The "black hand" went up again, for Curtiss this time, and an- other five spotter will be missing from Pony envelope. Curtiss, too, needed rest. for his flow of lan- guage after the fine was so fluent and continuous that he was sent over to tell it to Bill Luby and their friend Dan. As Springfield did not have any more reserve players than was necessary, Dan called halt himself, and the game proceeded with Paddy O'Connor taking Joe Connor's place behind the bat and Joe going to third in place of Cur tiss. But we had the game won at that time so 1t made no difference.
 The first inning was the undoing of Luby. He walked Ward and Bar rett beat out a scratch hit. which Joe Connor and Bill Luby played the Alphonse and Gaston trick on, Mc- Andrews hit one to Luby and that chap threw it into the bleachers to try and catch Ward racing for third. Swander walked free, but died on second on O'Rourke's hit to short; Lachance hammered out a long fly to Rising which was cared for and Shincel flew out to right. Result. three runs. In the third Barrett got rap in the middle of the back from one of Luby's slants, he stole second, McAndrews and Swander followed with singles, 0'Rourke flew out to center, Lachance popped one up to Tom Standard and Swander was forced at second on Shincers hit to Jimmy Burns. Result, two runs, and there we stopped. Eddie Ho- garty was twirling for the home team, and his work was all wool and yard wide. Springfield scored just once. in the seventh inning, when Burns got free pass, went around to third on Waite's hit and came home on Tansy's fly out to right gar den. There were several other times that the visitors had chance to score if they could have landed on one of Eddie's curves, but he was the man with the arm, and down they went before him like Russians before the Japs. The score:
