THE SPRINCFIELDS
 WERE CORRALLED
Waterbury Rode All Around and Over Them Results of All
 the Other Contests.

The Springfield Unions account of the game yesterday is as follows:
 !" Twas a mighty good thing for all concerned that it didn't happen on q fine day and before big crowd. For the Ponies didn't shape up as mud horses. And 1t couldn't be laid to the weather or the moisture either. Wu. terbury had just as much of both to contend with as did Springfield, but never Jagged, while the Ponies were giving about the most uncouth exhibi- tion of the year. Grotesque maneuvers' on the part of the heard were power ful ingredients In tue 13 runs that went to the visitors while the Ponies were getting 6.
 From Springfield standpoint re- deeming features were few and far between. In fact, the one big redeenl- ing feature has not to do with the game at all, but lies in the fact that such things don't happen often. Yes terday there was enough of the weird to last for the rest of the season. To. ward the finish the gibes and jeers were somewhat halted when Stankard, Burns and Yale turned in picture plays.
 Jack Hess worried through four in- nings an then Cy Miller. took Iii, the fiinging. Hess was hammered harder than happens to him more than cou- pie of times In a season. But even at that he might have pulled through only for the breaks in the ranks be- hind. Miller was banged a bit, too, but 1t was with him to the front that the Ponies began showing some of their real defence tactics.
 "Bastian opened on Hess for triple our to right center and after Fitz. patrick had been downed on strikes, came in when McAndrews hit a grounder that Burns fumbied. Jimmie recovered in time to get his man at first. Swander turned a good honess single into right and the ball turned the unusual trick of bounding over the low fence and hiding In the grasa at the corner of the carriage enclos- ure. Before Waite could locate the sphere. Swander had made the cir. cult.
 Big Candy Lachance, who had off, fred S10 for the privilege of taking a punch at tormentlng rooter. began Waterbury's second session with C three-base pelt and he counted when Shincel sent a rapld-6re grounder at Burns, who was playing in close. In the third. Fitzpatrick reached second on a wild heave by Burns, but was caught at third when he tried to work a double steal with Swander, who had passed. Swander came in from sec ond on O'Rourke's hit to center.
 Five runs were piled on in the fourth. Herman Shincel started with a two base rap to right and when Moore sacrificed, Hess threw to Cur, tiss in an attempt to cut off Shincel. The throw was high and Curtiss drop ped 1t, letting Shlncel get to the plate Moore continued to second on the mis. play. Bronkie bunted along the third base line and Curtlss threw wildly letting Bronkle get to second, while Moore came in. Bronkie mad hls bunt beaten when the throw was made. Bastian was passed and Fitzpatrick sacrificed, sending him to second and Bronkie to third. McAndrews hit to stankard, who fell as he tried to field the ball and then clipped in one of the contagious wide throws. BotL Bronkie and Bastian counted and Me- Andrews went to second, scoring on Swander's drive to right.
 Three passes by Miller in the fiftL and a slash past third base by McAn. drews built up two more runs and an- other pair came in in the sixth Oh Swander's single. O'Rourke's triple Standards wide throw. In this in- ming stankard did a dandy job in his rush play on grounder from La. chanc and both Burns and Yale pull ed on brilliant plays on Swander aud 0'Rourke respectively. Three singles ln succession were made by Water bury in the ninth, but no runs were scored, the hits coming after one was out and the succeeding batsmeu lift ing lnfield flies.
 ''0n the Springfield side Yale opened the first inning with a single but was caught at third in attempting to make that bag on Connor's sacrifice Run chances were wasted in the second when Bannon clung to first while Ris- ing was stealing third. Pop had hiS and Bannon had been passed. Rising made third and though the play was sent there. Bannon never made move. Springfield tallied four timeS In the fourth on pas, to Connor, hit. q nelder's choice on Rising. o'Rourke's error off Bannon. | bit by Burns. another ny Waite and Bronkie's wild pitch.
