RORTY PERSEVERANCE

Frank Tltzpatrick's Brownies took
one Of the slowest games of the sea-
son from Humphreys Whalers yester-
day afternoon at the Prairie by the
score of 6 to 2, A pretty double play,
Hayward to Sherwood to Bunyan, and
Connelrs three Dagger were the only
features which enlivened the contest
Rorty showed his official authority by
fning Rufrange IS for swearing. Red
also got in the way Of a couple of low
throws and afforded considerable
amusement to his small audience by
hopping about in a ridiculous manner.
He recovered after a brief period Of
exercise in the art of kicking, and al
lowed the game to continue, again as
Stunning his naughty poise. Umpire
Rorty showed his pity for the New
London players by not f1ning O'Rourke
for his back talk, but instead just tell
ing him to stay away from the coach
ing line during the game.
Nolte twirled in splendid form until
the eighth, not a man reaching third.
In the eighth ORourke's timely two
Dagger did the damages and scored
two runs.
New Haven punched their hits off
Ward and took the game without a
struggle. Sherwood and Wade got two
baggers, while Connell took the honors
with pretty and timely three sacker.
The absence of Clam" from the
game was seriously felt. but the APP
pearance in the bleachers Of the entire
Grove" rooters eliminated the sorrow
to some extent. This bunch, each one
bearing q Japanese parasol marched
onto the field and into the bleachers
on the first base side, and spent their
cheers on Sam Kennedy and their jeers
on Jerry Council. Through Umpire
Rorty they presented Kennedy with a
handsome gold watch and chain and
presented Jerry Council, or at least
tried to, with little lemon Their
meaning in the latter case was prob
ably all right, but IT was a sad Joke.

and Barbour died, Hayward to Bunyan.

In the third, Ward singled Water

BILE of Kennedy's easy grounder Or
this play Murray grabbed for the ball
rolled over couple of times, gave the
ball kick and then sat up and looked
about in astonishment because Kenne-
dy was safe. West, who ran for Ken
lnedy, was caught off first on Sher.
