of that double header yesterday as
 follows: ....
 Manager Clarkin made little mis.
 calculation in his reckoning about
 yesterdays baseball games here. He
 figured on winning two but he los'
 that number, showing that the na'
 tional game cannot be counted among
 the exact sciences. The first game
 which was called at 2:3O o'clock, was
 sort of scream, with Honest John
 O'Leary furnishing most of the comedy features. The premiers were
 Pete Wilson and Billy Rogers
 The Hartford manager sent out
 Pete's understudy, Jake Volz, ir
 the seventh, and Hurry Up pitched the last two innings. By agreement of the. captains and with the unani. nous consent of the crowd the game ended after each side had their raps in the eighth. The score was then If to 2 in favor of Waterbury and there was small likelihood of the home pets making dozen runs in the ninth.
 ''The game was so dreary that the cop who chases the kids from in front of the free bleachers took q long nap in the fifth inning. The management forgot to send down a cot bed and he found a soft corner where the fences join at the left field foul flag. With his helmet pulled down to shade the sun from his eyes he was off into dreamland in no time. The fans on the bleachers got wise very quickly and they shouted to Policeman riley to waken his broth- CT officer or Peter Pan might carry him off. riley walked the entire length of the field and was obliged to awaken the cop by degrees for fear that he might fall off the fence. Of course cop would not have dozed off like that if the teams had been playing for a place, but as it siss the flag end of the season and there was but little interest in the game most of the fans rather envied the officer, who was able to get some rest.
 Jack Rothfuss fell asleep in the first inning but he kept on running and cleared the bases after he had been called out. He was on second when Moves sent a smash out to right that looked good for three. Jack tore around the bags and crossed the plate under full head of steam only to be given the laugh. Ward caught the ball and returned 1t to second base with time to spare for a &Atble play. Ryan, the Waterbury center fielder came in for the biggest hand of the afternoon. Some of his catches were of the marvellous order and the fans were not niggardly with ap- plause. It was a source of great satisfaction to Manager Durant that the Hartford fans should be so quick to recognize the talent in the outfield.
 Pete Wilson, the peerless, didn't have much, and he received good pounding. On the ride up town one of Pete's friends tried to console him by saying that most of the runs. were made on errors, but Pete admitted that it was not his good day. O'I.eary and Justice were oft in their work too. O'Leary couldn't seem to get down to the bounders and Justice fought the ball. An error by la chance, followed by a bit by Ro- barge and an error by Shincel gave Hartford a run in the second inning and another was made in the eighth on an error by O'Rourke. a single by O'Leary and an out at first. That was all that Hartford did in the scoring line.
 Waterbury had a harvest of six in the third, getting four hits, two bases on balls and profiting by a bad error, by O'Leary. A base on balls, two hits and two errors gave them four more in the sixth. Volz was trotted out in the seventh, when two hits, a stolen base and an error by Justice produced two runs. The last two were made in the eighth on three singles. Kennedy finely.
 After a slight intermissIon, the second game was started, with Meui- Ter and Bronkie on the firing liue. Both pitched well. Hartford had sev- eral chances to score in the early in- nings but the right kind of q hit was not forthcoming. With, the bases full and one out in the second, Rothfuss rolled an easy one to the pitcher. who returned the ball to the plate and 1t was sent over to first for a double play.
 "Waterbury's first run was made on l base on balls, sacrifice and hit. The winning tally came in the seventh, when Swander singled, moved around when O'Leary couldn't gather fin ORourke's drive and scored on a hit by Lachance. Waterbury's first base man was a regular Hi Ladd with the stick yesterday. making four hits in he first game and three in the second. His fine hitting encouraged him to steal base but the elderly player was a Title out of his element when le took liberties with casey's whip" The score:
