Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-06
THE DIAMOND WINNERS AND
 THEN LOSERS Waterbury Got the First Game on a Forfeit and Lost the Second
 Other Games.

The Hartford Courant speaks in part of that game yesterday as fol- lows
 ''The contest yesterday resolved itself into a pitching duel between Herman Bronkie, the Pride of Man chester,' and Pete Wilson, the Star of the East" Pete played hockey on Saturday and pitched for Bristol, which is against the rules as posted in the clubhouse. Pete was anxious to have a perfect report for the month for good behaviour and he gained it by winning the game yes- terday. Manager Clarkin was dis posed to slap on a fine on the pitching wonder of the league but Ae said that Pete had performed so credit ably against the swelled heads of Waterbury that he had decided not to levy the fine. Pete was certainly all to the pazaza yesterday and he had 1t on Herman forty ways. Only three hits were made off the hero of the silver hat. Candy Lachance made a good smash in the second, Heinle Shincel poked out safe one in the eighth and in the ninth, when hope had practically been given up by the Waterbury men, Mike McAndrews drove out a single.
 "Bronkie also pitched a good game but a wicked throw that he made ill the third was largely responsible for his defeat. The work of the shortstops showed up with great brilliancy. ORourke had some very hard chances and he cut down several drives that loked like sure hits. His throwing was not on par with that of Eddie Justice and Lachance saved him a number of errors by taking the ball on the bound. Lachance put up nice game at first but in this line of work he did not seem to be superior to Charlie Ross. who played the bag as If 1t was an everyday affair with him. Ross has made valuable man for the team and acts like ball player every minute. The entire infield worked like a clock and double play that Justice. Gastmeyer and Ross fixed up in the enghth saved whole lot of trouble.
 1.-The real hit of the afternoon was made by Lucia, the dumpy little back stop of Waterbury, who strode past the stand in n Fluffy Ruffies coat of white. As walking fashion plate, Lucia comes nearer Broadway Alex Smith than anything seen here in ten years.
 Each side went out in order in the first round. Lachance made hit in the second and Shincel walked but Ryan hit to Justice, who got Shln- eel at second. Fallon led off for Hartford with a hit, Ross sacrificed, Lelivelt flew out and Luyster was pinked in the short ribs. O'Leary sent up weak infield fly. The game was won in the third. Wilson went out at first Gastmeyer barely beat out a hit and when Bronkie threw over Lachance's head, Gastmeyer got to second, Justice was thrown out by McAndrews. Captain Harry walked. Fallon hit to left, Gastmeyer scoring. The ball got away from Swander and Moves scored. Ross walked but Le- livent went out to Lachance.
 'There was nothing more doing un- til the eighth, when Gastmeyer sin gled and went down on a sacrifice by Justice. Heinie tried to steal third but was thrown out and he went head over heels. Moves followed with a hit and Fallon kept up the good work by pounding out his third hit of the aft ernoon. Ross ended the inning by flaming. Waterbury lost d good chance to score by foolish play by McAndrews in the fourth. He started the inning by walking to first, Swand- ed attempted to sacrifice and Wilson made the play at second base. Both men were safe. Then 0'Rourke ad- vanced both by sacrifice. Lachance flew out to aFllon. Before the ball was caught. McAndrews made dig for the plate and Kelly very properly called him out. The runner made such a quick start that there was no chance to question the decision, although a flew out to Fallon. Before the ball tempt at a bluff kick. The work of the umpire was excellent throughout. Occasionally an umpire makes a mls- take but base ball player who is apt to make forty mistakes in game makes horrible cry if an ump is Of in a decision" The score:
