THE DIAMOND
MOORE DESERVES
 MUCH CREDIT
Hi. Trusty Bat Tied the Score and Won the Game Yesterday
 Other Results.

lege this fall,- he can relate again and again, and tell the story with pride too, of the grand work his mighty bat performed out at Reid vile on August 27, 1907, when he batted his team to tie in the ninth inning and smashed in the victory in the eleventh, and sent Springfield back to Massachusetts disappointed in her hopes of securing second posi- tion in the Connecticut league race. It was great days work for Moore and right well does he deserve all the praise that was heaped upon him.. It looked like defeat for us too in the early stages of the game and Eddie Farley came very near having to walk the plank once more. Springfield be- gan a bombardment of his curves in the very first inning, and yet but one safe swat was made in that begin ming, but bad nisplays, of the balls that were hit to the infield, helped along the routs Rising had the safe bingo and Fitzpatrick bungled twice and Lachance once and this sent Joe Connor and Pop Rising over the plate with two runs. In the third there was more of 1t and Farley contrib uted the. most of 1t. Yale had struck out when Connor got four bad ones. O'Rourke fumbled Rising's drive and Standard walked free, filling the bases. Bannon then drove out two- sacker to the fence and Connor and Rising dashed over the plate. Stan kard tried to do the same thing, but Swander relayed the ball to McAn- drews and the latter sent 1t to Schin- eel and Stankard was retired. Ban. non went to third on the play to catch Standard. O'Connor drove out another two-bagger and Bannon came home with the third run. But that ended Springfield's run getting. for while two more hits were made of his delivery in the fourth and one in the fifth, Farley did not give them the semblance of safe one in the next live innings. In the eleventh he was found for three scratches, af- ter one was out, but none of them caused any damage, the last one forcing Waite between the third sta- tion and home and retiring him, while the next and last man was an easy out to first,
 We began scoring also in the first
 Bastian beat out a bunt, stole second, went to third on Fitzpatrick's out \ from short to first and came home on "a passed ball. Another came our way in the third on Bastian's single, an- other short one which he beat out, taking second on McAndrew's get ting a free pass, after Fitzpatrick flew out to center, and coming home on Swander's single to right. Our third came in the seventh after one was out. McAndrews drew another free pass, went to third on Swander's drive; to right and came. home on o'Rourke's out from shortl to first. During all those other innings, we had plenty of chances to score, but somehow or other Mclaughlin held. us safe. when hit would have done whole lot of damage. Then came the ninth, with Springfield leading us by two runs. McAndrews began the action by hitting safely. Swander drove little pop fly. back of second base and Burns, Stankard and Ban non ran for it. All came togethe
 and Ramon dropped the ball. and we had two on bases. o'Rourke sacri- feed them on another base. Me- Laughlin. acting under orders walk ed Lachance and the bases were filled. Shincel flew out to third and our last chance came with Moore up. He was the man of the hour, for he drove one out into Rising's territory, which Rising could not get under and over the plate came McAndrews and Swander, while Lachance was dig ging for third. He was nailed there on the throw by Rising, but we had tied the score and were satisfied for the time being. In the tenth there was nothing doing but the eleventh saw the spectacular finish and Wa terbury's victory. Swander, the first man up drove out a two-sacker to center. He was sacrificed to third by o'Rourke. Then came some more orders from Dan o'Neil and Lachance and Shincel were deliberately passe, filling the bases. It was the undo'ps of Mclaughlin. for next facing him was the man, who had made three safe swats already la the game, the man who had driven in the tying runs and who was fated to win the game. Moore stepped to the plate. He waited for the best one In Me- Laughlin's pack and then hit it a mighty crack. It sailed out over the second baseman's head into safe ter- ritory and McAndrews dashed home with the winning run, while the crowd cheered themselves hoarse over a victory that at one time was far. far AWAY .Tha ecnra.
