OATH OF
OFFICE

count, May Personally
Garry Contest Up.

Alderman Joseph A. Wright. of the
First Ward, who won out for reelection
on the recount from William u. Mas
ker, today took the oath of office,

face of the returns he was said to
have been elected, The chief Justices
order declared that the Democrat was
chosen.
Mr.. Masker today declared that he
would not abide by the result OF the
recount, and would take the matter
further. He stated that Judge Thomas
L. Raymond, his personal counsel, and
William Pennington, special counsel
appointed by the Republican County
Committee. would ask that the ballots
not referred to the court be counted.
This would mean an appeal to the Cir
cult Court and would cost the con-
testant several thousand dollars.
Alfred N Dalrymple. chairman Of the
sounty committee, stated today that
he thought the Republican organiza-
lion that he would be satisfied to abide
shief Justice, but that he had not con-
ferred with Mr.. Masker and did not
know whether he would personally go
further into the matter or not.
Other men prominent on the county
committee expressed the opinion that so
ar as the party organization was con-
.erned, the matter was Mt an end,
william Pennington, who appeared
Tor Masker from the county commit
lee. some time ago made the deelara-
,ton that he would be sacriced to abide
oy the decision of the court, and 1t
was with this understanding that the
Republican organization backed Masker
In his battle.
There will be a conference OF Mr..
Masker and his friends today, but 1t
IS understood that the counsel for the
county committee will rot attend
AT Judge Raymond's office 1t was
said that he was in New York.
Mr.. Wright received the congratula- |
tons of his friends in the City Hail
today and said that he did not rear
any move on the part of his opponent.
''TIe is beaten, and that is all there
d to It." declared Mr.. Wright.
Mr. Maslter was the Republican nom !
nee for member of the Common Coun-
I'll last year to fill vacancy, and was
declared elected. On a recount, large
number of ballots were found on which
pasters with an error In his name had |
5een used. and Joseph A. Wright, DEM
scrat, WIS given the Office by order OF

HIS DEATH WAS SUDDEN

Arrangements will be made as soon
as possible for the funeral of Assem-
blyman Daniel ]. Brady, of Bloomfield,
who died suddenly of what Is thought
to have been heart disease at Barber
ton, near Akron, O., last night. Off
cial word of his death was sent to the
home of Mayor William p. Sutphen, Of
Bloomfield, by Dr. H. S. Davidson,
coroner at Barberton, today, and Mrs.
Brady and her six children were in
turn Informed. They had waited anx-
iously for the news after seeing the
press dispatches this morning. Ar
rangements to have the body shipped
East win be made and 1t Is probable
that some relative of the family will
go to Ohio at once.
Mrs. Brady and her children
had been in a measure prepared
for the blow, for Mr. Brady had long
been apprehensive Of a sudden death,
although he courageously continued his
political and business duties.
The body is now at Weigand' g
morgue, Barberton. The coroner will
hold an investigation as formality.
Assemblyman Brady was in the Mid
die West organizing new hatters' locals,
and putting new life into old ones as an
official of the United Hatters of North
America when death came. He had
been there a few months, laboring hard,
and expected to continue that work for
two years.
He had gone out to Bar

land Garment Workers Union, who

then the case will be given to the jury.
The defense laid special stress upon,
the evidence regarding insanity, and
contended that 1t was former Senator
Brown, and not Mrs. Bradley, who inn
portuned for the Illicit relations; that
it was not a case of breaking Up a

THE DIAMOND
WE FELL AND
 THEN WE AROSE.
Norwich Trimmed Us the First Game and We Took Second
 -Other Games.

The fifteen hundred or more fans that journeyed out to Reidville yes- terday afternoon witnessed two base ball contests that will not be repeat ed for brilliancy in the pitchers box this season. Eddie Farley was in the points for the locals in the first game and he was opposed by Tommy Tuck ey, the former Naugatuck boy. Far ley was in rare good form and held the Norwich batters down to three hits, one of them being really an at- tempted put out. Of Tuckey we took eight but they were so well scattered that try as we could we could not bring the runners oyer the home station. We are sorry to say it, but our twirler with all his good work, was responsible in measure for our defeat, for his two free pass es in the sixth inning, after Tuckey had made two sacker were more than costly. Red Rorty helped along the victory for the visitors too for he called balls on Eddie Farley that were good strikes and he called a man safe at the second station when he was out without any doubt and this decision came in the fatal sixth inning too. Norwich scored in the fourth inning on double by Pastor, a single by Cote, or rather bingo, for an attempt was made to catch Pastor which failed and then Golden hammered one to Farley, which re- bounded from his glove and when Piel had fielded it Pastor was over the plate. Two came in the sixth to Norwich on Tuckey's double, free passes to Pastor and Cote, a f1elder's choice and long fly out to the left field. We scored just once in the sixth inning on single by McAn- drews, who stole second and double by Lachance. Tuckey held us in check after that. We played an er- rorless game and should have won with any luck at all and fair um- pire. The score:

PITCHERS RECORDS.
As Sent Out by the State Official
 Scorer are Incorrect.


 We are sorry to differ with MT Challenger, state official scorer, but in his pitchers records up to and in cluding Saturdays games he has not given the Waterbury twirlers the right t>averages |. He has not given the correct number of games won and he has left out one of our pitchers en- tirely. Raub won 3 and lost game while in our ranks and is not credited with doing anything. Farley's record is correct as given. Bronkie has been given 6 wins and misses while the local official scorer has given him 2 wins and misses. Yerkes has been given victories and 4 defeats, while he should have but victories and 1 defeats. Rogers is credited with ? victories and 8 defeats which should be victory and defeats. Ad- ing up the total number of victories credited to us by the state official scorer we would have but 21 games won, while the correct standing on Saturday night was 2 won. We are also credited with only 9 defeats when we should have Il. We have had occasion to differ with MT Challenger on the standing of our Datters and fielders too, and we believe rule should be adopted by the league that the state official scorer be given sal- ary and let him devote his time en- tirely to the state averages. This is not intended for knock either for we know the state official scorer and be- lieve he has done his work conscien- tiously but he cannot be expected to attend to his regular duties and do the work of the league and do both cor rectly. The following are the records s.trn,, a,,% h,v Mr.

 COME EITHER WAY.

You might just as we'll try to butt . hole through stone wall as to try and convince Red Rorty that he is wrong, and you know what the re- suit has been.
 Red Rorty was wrong in two de- cisions yesterday that had bearing or the result of the game. The first one was handed out to our side and the second one to Norwich. Both were very bad.
 Some of our players walk up to the bat as if they were going to a slaughter. All that old vim seems to have left them and the sneers and rebukes of some of the fans have put them in the dumps. Brace up and forget 1t.
 Hartford is now with us fighting for the third position. Just look at the race in this league; ;--any one of six teams is liable to jump into tha lead in few days.

Second Game.

The second game showed the fans another pitchers duel in which
 Bronkie was pitted against the .beefy Plank. The local boy had the Indian sign on the Norwich batters, how ever, and allowed them but two hits. The strange part of those hits, how ever, is that both of them were two baggers and both were made by Sof- fel. All the other members of the Norwich bunch were helpless before the speed and curves of the local boy. Plank was not pitching bad ball eith- CT and he gave us just four hits, two of which came in the only inning in which we scored. That was the sec- ond session of the game and Plank had a little balloon ascension of his own and when 1t was over we had scored the runs that claimed the vic tory for we were never passed. Tn that second inning Swander got a belt in the ribs from one of Plank's swift ones that made him feel like shooting the big Norwich twirler. He was sacrificed to second and Schineel made matters worse by hammering out a single. Plank then threw the ball past his catcher and Swander came home and Cooney Rice bounded one over the third baseman's head and Schincel came home. There we stopped. Norwich scored In the fifth on a double by Soffel and an error of Wards at short. Norwich was robbed of what would have been a two base hit in the seventh when Rorty called a fair ball foul. It struck at least one foot inside the right field line and while Norwich kicked long and strenuousiy, there was nothing doing. It might have changed the aspect of things too. for Golden, who had accomplish ed 1t. was followed by Soffel with an- other two bagger and this would surely have tied the score. Rorty had been having his troubles all through both of the games and the fans were roasting him unmercifully. Some of the roasting was unjust. however, and very disgusting to many of the spectators Nichols was sore over that first game and In the last inning he had an argument at the plate with Rorty over his interpretation of the rules The usual result came when Nichols was fined t5. A sub serfption vas at once taken up and the fine paid by the fans immediate ly. Bronkis held the visitors we'll ia
