BROWNIES WHITEWASH
 O'ROURKE'S ORATORS Corcoran Keeps Hits Scat tered While New Haven
 Hammers Langton. SHFRWOOD's HOME RUN Three Leaders, the Paper weights, Authors and
 Senators Lose.

The Brownies return home seems to have inspired them with genuine base ball ability. They took 8 tumble out Fot the Waterbury aggregation We'd nesday and worked the trick again against the Orators yesterday. Mir acles are said to happen once or twice in a life time, but when they happen twice in two days it Is time for an explanation That the Orators, who are playing real baseball, compared to the recent work of Danaher's New Haven Iites, should be whitewashed by the local bunch by the score of z to 0 seems almost improbable.
 Kid Sherwood was the hero of the day and secured through wallops url- premeditated, three hits, one of which flew over the left field fence of Dana hers back yard, for a home run, push ing Hayward and Bunyan over the platter, making a total of three runs. The Kids single in the fifth caused more tears to trickle down the pallid cheeks of Father O'Rourke, who. not participating in the contest, quietly sat in the open bleachers at the first base
 Two fast double plays constructed by the New Haven fast infielders served as features in a general way in this fast battle between the fast falling locals and the fighting, but weak ora tors. Bunyan, who was used in yes terday's contest to give him a little practice, participated in both of these plays. Jack will now continue to hold down the initial bag as the lnfeld will be somewhat shaken up owing to Fitz- patrlck's departure to Waterbury.

Haywards drive which started the en- suing round of trouble, was beyond the reach of his far-stretched glove. Bun Ivan drove lucky one just out of reach of Sebastian and Billie picked his way to the three-quarters mark. Sherwood was due at the bat and in him lay our regrets or joy, The Kid stepped away from two wide ones but gently met the third and sent it over thA left field fence. The Kid did not show a spark of pity for the hard working Langton in this terrible drive, but just wanted to clear the bases and ! give him another start. He wobbled around the bases and touched his hat to the enthusiastic 4OO Ham" Wade drove the first ball pitched out to within two inches and a half of the top of the left field fence, but 1t was foul. His aspirations were dampen- ed when he slammed the next ball pitched into O'Rourke's glove and made it three out.
 The Kids wallop in the fifth caused two more tallies, Connell developed another hit as a starter for this sec ond round of happiness. Fitzpatrick rolled one to Langton, who tossed the spheroid in the approximate direction of second base, desiring to head off ConneH The ball went wild by three feet and rolled out into right field, but Jerry wisely remained glued to the middle ordinate.
