BROWNIES CAPTURE CAME FROM ORATORS IN TENTH Bridgeport's Costly Errors Hand a Slow Contest to
 New Haven. LEADERS WIN AND LOSE Mattern @ Puzzle for Ponies- Authors Defeat the
 Senators.
LEADERS WIN AND LOSE
(By Albert Donnelly.)

Danahers Brownies established an undisputable record by defeating Bridgeport yesterday, in ten inning game, marked by loose fielding by the score of to 5; that of having won three straight games. The game at the prairie yesterday was played on an in- field covered in mud and on an outfield in which the players had to swim after the ball whenever the spheroid came iii their direction. Errors by the Orators, with Inglaas, the chief offender was the main cause of New Haven's vic- tory. The Brownies were however, not free from costly errors as total of four clung to the record of the infieIder, Kid Sherwood's misp1ays proving the most disastrous.
 At the opening of the eighth inning the visitors had a good lead but they generously allowed the ball to leak through their hands when New Haven desired a run. In the eighth New Ha> ven pulled down Bridgeport's lead by one point and in the ninth they brought two men across the plate, tieing the score, The locals showed that never lose spirit which they have exhibited during the past few days and managed to perch a man on first, who on Ing laas' tumble when two were down walked gleefully across the plate with the winning run.
 Fletcher was given a chance to re, deem his past weeks of cratic playing, by operating in the vicinity of the sec ond bag. He had but one chance and he scooped this up cleanly and tossed it to first without a misplay. Fletcher also batted 1000. Besides a sacrifice hit and a couple of passes to the initial bag, he had one chance to swat the ball. On this glorious occasion, he drove out a clean single, making his reappearance on the field a successful one. Eddie Nolte, Lawlor, Kennedy and Corcoran made the long hits for Danaher's tribe, each one getting q two-bagger Kennedy, Hayward and Jope were the only players to lift out more than one hit for New Haven.
 A one-handed catch by Jimmy o. Rourke, jr., and the heavy hitting of Hi Ladd, who cracked out four blister ing safe drivers out of five times at the bat, were the features of the game. A fast double play by Sherwood and Bunyon was a very pretty play
 New Haven had 1t on the Orators in base running. Lawlor, Jope, Corcoran and Nolte each beating 1t to second be- fore Beaumont's throw could overtake them.

LADY G0DlvA'S RIDE
REPRODUCED IN COVENTRY

Coventry Eng, Aug, Mounted on
n white palfrey and dccorously clothed
In masses OF hair pink fieshings and
clouds of gauze, a modern Lady Godiva
today gave a representation of the his
toric ride through the city's streets.
Coventry has seen Lady Godiva home
for many months. When q revival of
the procession last witnessed In 1887.
was first noted. there were many who
desired n strict adherence to tradi-
ton, even to the nudity of Lady Co
diva, but the anti-nudists effected
compromise and n vaudeville actress
whose specially Is TO display herself
In groups OF living statuary, was en-
gagged to represent the historic bene-
factress of Coventry. The actress,
who is said to have complained that
she could make a half dozen summer
frocks out OF the gauze she was COM
PEELED to wear took an hour and half
TO arrange her trailing hair and long
draperies, and then special committee
had to approve of her costume before
Lady Godiva was permitted to take
her place In the pageant. Many of the
local clergy who had been preaching
against the fleshings as being sug-
gestive OF nudity. left the citv temper
arily but most of the people of the
country and from $4,000 to 100000 from
the outside witnessed Lady Godiva as
she trayersed the six miles.
Lady Godiva, who fiourished about
the middle of the eleventh century. was
the wife of Leofrio. Earl of Chester.
She was woman of great beauty and
piety and the benefactress of many
churches and monasteries. According
to the legand, Lady Godiva begged her
husband TO relieve Coventry of bur-
densome tax and he consented to do
SO upon the condition that she should
ride naked through the market place.
This she did covered only by her long
hair, and thus won relief for the peo-
pie. According to some versions of
the story, the people were commanded
to keep within their houses while Lady
Godiva passed and only one man,
"Peeping Tom" disobeyed, and he was
stricken blind.
