THE DIAMOND
BATTING RALLY BRINGS VICTORY
New Haven Took the Lead in the Beginning But We Beat Them
 to the Wire.

was demonstrated very clearly yester- day, when in the very tirsl nnlng or the game with New Haven, roolers who had almost stood on their heads on other occasions in ecstasies of de- light over the good playing of the lo- calls. called them all klnds of names from Holsters to lemons, and in less than half an hour later those same rooters were lauding the players to the skies and heralding them as the only real base bail fruit on the pennant tree. It was yellow inning that first one and would make tue most en- thusiasuc fan bowling knocker. It gave New Haven such lead that even the most conndent never be- lieved tue locals would pull the game out of the ire. It all happened this way:
 Jerry Connell, the first man up in the initial inning, knocked fly out to Ed die Swanaer and 10 and behold, that usually sure fielder dropped it. kee- nan sacrificed him to second and Jerry stole third. Shincel tried to catch him, but his throw was wild and Council scored. Hayward then walked tree and stole second. Slap per Sam Kennedy drove him home with double. Sherwood was alloyed the first station on four bad ones and Wade drove out triple to the fence which scored Kennedy and Sherwood. O'Rourke got the ball on tue throw iu and tried to. catch Kennedy at third but he threw over McAndrew's head and Kennedy scored. Here the team woke up. after five runs, three errors, two hits and two bases on balls had been counted. Moore came in on the dead run for Betcher's hit ind took t for great catch and Jopc flew out to Fitzpatrick. Two two base hits and the three base hit credited in this inning might have been taken had they not been misjudged.
 The score remained at that figure, until the fourth, when we scored our first one. Fitzpatrick got his base. because Sam Kennedy dropped the ball. He was out at second, however. on the try for steal. McAndrews smashed out two sacker, took third on Swander's out from short to first, and came home when Keenan fumbled O'Rourke's drive. That was all the scoring at that time. Another came our way the next inning. Shincel got his base on balls, but was forced at second by Moore. Hogarty drove n two bagger along the third base Hue and Moore went to third and on Bas- tian's fly out to left, Moore crossed the plate. There was nothing more doing for us until the seventh, when q cyclone struck the New Haven twirler and Dan Danaher Is still shedding tears. Lachance had gone out. from second to first, when Suincel rapped out bingo. Moore followed with another and Hogarty walked free, bll- ing the bases. Bastian dropped a pretty one out on the left foul line ana over the plate caIpe Shincel and Moore. Fitzpatrick then hammered one at Keenan and the second base was touched, retiring Bastian. ;he ball was quickly sent to Kennedy end .Fitzpatrick was waved to the bench for the double play. but here umpire Eddie curley changed his decision. calling Fitzpatrick safe. as he claimed Sam Kennedy dropped the ball, which be probably did. McAndrews then banged out two bagger and Hogarty and Fitzpatrick crossed the plate and we were one to the good. We did not stop even there, for Swander drove out another safe one and McAndrews calne over the home station. That was the end, however, for o'Rourke flew out to Jope.
 New Haven made a great stab to get back that lost lead in the ninth inning. Nolte had gone out from second to first when Jerry Cornell drove one to the fence for two Da5es. He took third when Moore threw badly to the second station and came home when Hogarty fumbled Moore's throw-in after catching a fly from the bat of Keenan. Hayward hammered liner at Hogarty for the last man up and it stuck in Eddie's glove and tue
