SENATOR'S EVEN BREAl
lnr Alhert [. Donnelly.l

(By Albert L. Donnelly,) Eddie Nolte pitched splendid ball yes- terday, allowing but three hits and passing but one man to first, The Brownies connected with Halligans benders in the fourth and two two- baggers coupled with errors by Cote, Perkins and Hallgan forced four men across the platter. The Rosebuds were unable to get man past third during the entire game and had to be content with six thick coats of whltewash.
 Jerry Cornell made good as captain of the Inflated New Haven team, field ing his position perfectly and landing on couple of Halligan's teasers-once for a double and again for a single. Jerry also proved an ideal coaching captain, his work on the first base and third base lines being of an unusual or der for New Haven player
 Both hines worked in a pretty dou- ble play. Nolte, Keenan and Kennedy being the performers on one side and Golden, Soffel and Accorsini on the oth- CT.
 Kid Sherwood tried hard to put the ball over the fence for a home run, but his efforts were in vain. In the fourth inning he hit the ball over the left field fence and away up into the woods, but 1t was foul. He then ballooned the spheroid out apparently over Cote's head, but Emil just managed ito get his hands on it, and then allowed it to lleak through his hands. In the sixth inning he put the ball over the fence twice before he went out on blister- ing grounder to Soffel
 "Mugsy'' Keenan and our new recruit Betcher stained the error column by al- lowing easy grassers to escape them. Eddie Nolte for a change, fielded his position in grand style, stopping every thing that came his way, and then tossing them over to Kennedy a couple | of yards ahead of the runner. | Pastor hit Eddie Nolte for two of Norwich's three hits. At short he cov- cred his position, and several yards on ! every side besides, almost perfectly, his many spectacular catches being the on- ly plays which caused the mute crowd to awake to understanding that they were witnessing a ball game. The crowd of 600, about three times as large as 1t ought to be, were so dumbfound- ed that New Haven was ahead and were going to win a game by five points l that they considered that they must be in the land of dreams. At the end of the game they were only aware of it's finish by the disappearance of the players from the field.
 | In the fourth inning Jerry Cornell started the ball a-rolling by poking a two- -bagger out along the first base line ana to the right field fence Keenan worked in bunt, sacrificing Connell to third. Hayward rolled bad bounder into Perkins hands but Si threw low to first and Billie was safe, Jerry cross- ing the rubber.
 Sam Kennedy took advantage of Hal ligan's weakening and placed another | two-bagger out in the same spot where Jerry had put his. Duffy started after the spheroid but slipped and slid about ten feet! He recovered himself and the ball however before Jerry could make his way to the third bag. When 1t came to pass that Kid Sherwood, after send ing two fouls far over the left field fence, generously allowing two urchdns to act as spectators in this glorious contest, tripped a liner out apparently | over Cotes head Cote was after 1t and got his hands on it. but then allow ed it to totter through his fingers. ! the platter, Ham" Wade then tried the squeeze play, bunting to Halligan. l The latter fielded the ball cleanly, but threw it about seven or eight feet from Bridges who was anxiously awaiting his return to the plate. Sherwood SCOT ed, Betcher bit at the first one deliver- ed by Halligan, and popped a thirty foot fly to Bridges. Jope closed the in- ming, by rolling an easy grasser to Hal ligan.
 Halligan's wild throw to second in the fifth caused another addition to the Brownies total of tallies. Nolte start ed off by bridging a grounder to soffel, land going out to Accorsini. "Huckle- berry Connell banged out his second hit. "Mugsy" Keenan carelessly allow ed the ball to hit him and Jerry troted to the third station, Our valient little shortstop then stole second, Halligan tried to cut him off but throwing to Soffel, the throw went wild and Jerry ripped across the rubber. Hayward l flied to Doe" Cote and soffel made easy work of Kennedy's awkward smash.
 Norwich couldn't find Eddie at any period of the contest and offered no resistance to the Brownies.
 The score:
 New Haven.
