Waterbury, July 26-The first of the
series of games between the New Ha-
ven police and their foe, the Waterbury
police, ended in a victory for the Brass
City nine this afternoon at the Reid
vile grounds, Waterbury. A hard COM
bination to beat met the New Haven
ers, but they put all their ener-
gy into the contest and showed at
least spirited fight The most OPP
pressive opposition our finest received
was in Umpire Cooney Rice, who was
an official in the state league for a
short time and who also joined the
ranks of the Waterbury State league
team for a while. The unprecedented
opinion Of the people who attended the
game was that Cooney literally gave
| the game to the Waterbury team. The
ball had to cut the plate and also reach
certain elevation, the medium Of the
distance between the knees and the
shoulders, or he would call 1t ball..
This rule only varied when wallace,
the Brass City twirler was in the box.
Or bases, the New Haven infield had
to tag the runner at least Ave feet from
the base or the runner would be call
ed safe. The other force which was
contributed to have the Elm City men
meet defeat was Wallace, the Water
bury police twirler. He is an old state
Lacquer, and certainly handed over the
| goods to-day He had total Of eleven
strike outs to his credit and did not
pass a man to the initial bag.
The Elm City guardians outbatted
the Brass City aggregation; also out
fielded them, and on bases played all
around them. Dermoty occupied the
slab for New Haven and pitched good
ball. His wlldness whenin bad holes
caused the majority of the Waterbury
runs Doherty and Connolly held the
batting honors for the New Haven nine
both getting two hits. Dermoty and
DOherty were the only men who sue
ceeded in getting hit larger than a
single.
The most sensational feature of this
nine inning battle was a one-hand
catch by Madden in the ninth cutting
off New Haven's chance Of scoring in
this last inning.
In the first inning each team scored
one run. For Waterbury Dodds walked
but went out at second, ELIAS to Doher-
