PONIES WEIRD PLAYING
roNNrcUrc1IT LEAGUE STANDING.
(By Albert L. Donnelly.)

Several ludicrous misplays by the #,Brownies and three singles and #,double off Phil Corcoran in the first
 Shining of yesterdays conflict between &+he seventh and eighth steppers in the
 BConnecticut league race gave New
 zLondon, the temporary tailenders, 9 Head of five runs, which at first it
 geemed i'm possible for New Haven to Spvercome. Our rocky twirler then set # #4led down and allowed the Whalers # but two hits during the remainder of # the sluggish contest. New Haven on < the other hand managed to creep up S on their opponents one step at time, ! and through a nightly clash in the
 seventh and eighth innings scored four #runs, overlapping New Londons score HIby two big tallies, the score being Hlto 6, which needless to say remained Sjduring the rest of the game
 New Haven attempted to repeat It's #Derfornance of Wednesday, but bitter Bicomplaints from the bleachers set Rthem in a different mood and they re- E SIturned to their usual condition. If z1hey were attempting to make them Sselves appear funny there was no need of putting on, for by acting natural 8they are genuine comedians.
 I After the second inning an unusual zthing for the prairie happened Clans, Has director, led on the masses (about 200 in round numbers) to let them Mselves out and give continual robust Rcheers. The fans for some reason ap- &preciated one or two good plays by * the locals and the shouts sounded re- narkably like ton of coal going Hdown cellar. People strolling peaceful S Iv down the narrow lanes just sur zrounding Danaher's garden were as- founded by the cries, cheers and yells from within the wooden partitions and E they deemed that New Haven must be putting up a battle of their lives. To
 sthe scorer and to the fans who know * the New Haven team on the inside, < nothing unusual was happening, but J Captain Connell and his merry school Stboys were just having little fun at Athe expense of New London.
 Treat, who occupied the slab for the H visitors, had nothing but speed and a Hprayer, and when the New Haven A players stepped into the ball a single or a double was the outcome. Corcor- Ian settled down as the game pro- ,gressed, but Treat was hit harder in each inning than in the proceeding
 one
 Ty 41. < 6,e+ y,o11ud fny Navr ,np1on I Waterman singled and Rankin did the
 same. McCabe strung a bounded to Bunyan, which Jack shot without z looking in the direction of second base. The ball hit Rankin and went bounding off into center field, Water ,man scoring. Mickey Finn sacrificed Rankin to third and McCabe to sec ! ond. Barbour laced double out be- # tween Kennedy and Nolte, while Ran \ kin and McCabe strelled leisurely acrss the rubber. Hayes continued and completed the onslaught in Corcorans I direction by sizzling a safe one along the third base line. Doran rolled a A grasser to Betcher, which our second T baseman allowed to leak through his I legs. Doran tried to steal second but
 was caught, Jope to Betcher, Betcher played marbles with Rufrange's l grounder just long enough for the lat a ter to eros the initial bag. Treat flied ] to Jope. Five runs.
 I For New Haven in the first Cornell \ flied to McCabe. Sherwood singled and went to third on Hayward's stinging I grasser, which Barbour juggled too ,. long. Kennedy was given a life and 4 Sherwood scored on Bunyans out, Barbour to Doran. Betcher walked and Jope flied to Doran. One run. #l New London finished scoring in the second. Waterman was passed to first, went to third on Betchers third error and scored on McCabe's long fly to Kennedy Hayward made easy work of Finn's blistering grounder, and shot l the ball to Bunyan, retiring the side.
 New Haven scored one run in the third, another in the fourth, continued ! with a third in the fifth, broke off for a rest in the sixth, but pushed a tally zs across the platter in the seventh. An error by Finn in the third gave Hay ward a safety, Sam Kennedy follow ed with a double, scoring Bill. Bunyan flied to Waterman. Betcher was safe on Doran's tumble, but was caught trying to steal second Rufrange to p Hayes. Corcoran smashed a two-bag- I ger out to deep center in the fourth went to third on Treats tumble of Rufrange's return and completed the circuit on No1te's long drive to the left field fence, which Finn captured
 after a long run. A f1elder's choice and Barbour's tumble of Bunyan's l slow teaser scored Hayward in the fifth. Hayward's double and Kenne- Bday's timely single pulled New Haven I within one point of New London in the seventh.
 In the eighth the Brownies scored 1 thrice, putting the game safely away. Fletcher singled and went to second on I Jope's safe bunt Concoran sacrificed 4
