Strong Danbury Team Went Down
 Before the Local Independents.
 The Independents went over to Danbury on Saturday and before a crowd of 5000 people gave that ag- gregation good licking. The Dan bury management shad secured a New York pitcher by the name of Chalmes to do the twirling, but the Independents took kindly to his de- livery and slammed his curves all over the lot. A dispute in the sixth inning almost ended the game when Lawlor was called out bye Umpire Hunt for some reason that he in vented himself. Dews was caught between bases in that inning and while he was lodging back and forth Delaney and Lawlor scored. Lawlor was called out for passing Dews be- fore he was tagged and this retired the side. The ruling was accepted. however, and the game went on. The Independents slammed the ball hard, Shambo getting four, Mulligan and Gilmartin three each and Dews and Slavin two each. The lineup and score:
 Lawlor, If; Delaney, 2b; Gilmar- tin, 3b; Mulligan, 1b: Dews, of; Ed. monds, ss; Shambo, If; Slavin, c; Morgan, p.

 The large crowd at League park. Torrington, Saturday afternoon, was disappointed by the action of the Bristol players in forfeiting the game to the Coe Brass because of an alter cation in the fifth inning. Up to this point the game had been of the fast est kind and no one had been al- lowed to score. Baldwin of the Coe Brass, in running from second to third base. ran into Bristol's short stop, who was directly on the base line, attempting to secure a grounder to short. Bristol's claim that Bald win should be declared out at first was disallowed by Umpire Simmons of Winsted and the Bristol manager withdrew his men from the field.
 The Southington team added an- other victory to its list Saturday by defeating the Newfield team of the Bridgeport City league at Southing- ton, 2 to 1. The game was interest ing and despite the coldness all stayed until the finish. Bresnahan of Bristol twirled for the locals in the absence of Matty Walsh. who is laid up with sore side. Moran, the visitors pitcher, was in fine form and only allowed one hit after the first inning, when two were made. He put up fine fielding game. Walsh. in center field, made a sen- sational catch. Mccarthy, stu- dent at Yale, played at second and will continue in t hat position throughout the season.
