in the eighth inning of yesterdays bat
tie with the leaders on the Prairie, was
the cause of New Haven's defeat by
tho score Of 4 to 8. "Phillup" Corcoran
had one bad inning, this the sixth,
when two two-baggers and a couple of
singles were pounded off his delivery,
three Of Dowd's Paperweights trotting
across the plate.
On the other hand stackpole al
though wild on various occasions, had
Danaher's Brownies under his control
throughout the entire game 1t is true
that he was rash enough to hit New
Hayen's captain and that he also tried
to knock down our twirler, Corcoran,
but he treated the rest Of the team with
an unusual kindness He was liberal
enough to allow every player a hit be-
sides Kennedy and Wade, but was
rather strict when an ambitious
Brownie sought to make a hit, which
would carry him further than first
base.
Mike Lucia appeared with mask,
protector and catcher's NIT for New
Haven, and was of considerable assist
ance in both coaching the nine and
holding down the position of backstop,
which has not been covered well since
Jope was injured.
Jack Bunyan, as usual, covered first
bag in fine style, in fact he covered it a
little too much, as was apparent in the
seventh inning. Hoffman popped fly
in Bunyan's direction and that player
started after it, He did not heed the
advice Of his coachers from the field,
bleachers and press box: Look out for
the bag" but instead tripped over IL
and covered it completely. 1t is use
less to say that the fly escaped him,
and Hoffman was obliged to pick up his
bat which he had tossed aside with a
little cussing, and try again.
'Clams" appeared in all his glory,
roaming up and down the aisle between
the first base, bleachers and the fence.
His voice did not show any signs Of
lack of practice, as might have been
expected owing to his absence Of one
day, but had instead delightful ring
and was very impressive. Holyol1e was
always his bet and he stuck by her
+, through thick and thin yesterday. He
also had the honor of getting couple
of put outs, catching two high fouls.
Rorty was king again and outside
of couple of off-color decisions, he
u1npired a good game. Ham Wade
was treated rather roughly by the Off
cial, but he just took his medicine
without a grumble.
Holyoke started in to win the game
In the first inning. Hoffman rolled an
easy grounder to Bunyan. Bannor
drove a pretty single over second, was
advanced to second on Lepines out,
Fitzpatrick to Bunyan, and scored on
Massey's line drive over third. Grub
toppled one of Corcoran's tempting ones
into Wade's hands
Corcorans timely single in the fourth
tied the score. Sam Kennedy was safe
on Bakers tumble of a singing bound
er and went to third on Boucher's wild
throw of Sherwood's liner. Wade pop
ped an easy one to Boucher. Bunyar
hit a grasser to Grub, who returned
thu ball 10 Thackera, catching Kenne-
dy at the plate, Jack being safe on the
fielder's choice. Bunyan stole second
and Lucia was given a life. Corcoran''
timely drive over short scored Sher-
wood, Bunyan travelling to third and
then foolishly trying to beat it in on
Bannins throw in which was almost
straight for the plate.
