THE DIAMOND PEBBLE WINS
 FOR SPRINGFIELD
With Waterbury in Lead, Tide i Turned By the Vagaries of
 Base Ball.

It was shame to steal that vic- tory away from Waterbury yesterday, but Jimmy Burns did not think so nor did the stone outsin left field which gave Jimmy credit for a tfgee base hit, and sent two Springfield runners across the home station with the win ming runs. It had been an exciting game up to that fatal eight inning, with Waterbury leading ill the third, Springfield forging to the front in the fourth, and Waterbury again taking the first rank in the seventh. Every ] thing looked bright for us in the eight too, for the first two men were retir- ed easily. Then came Tom Stankard with his mighty bat, making his third l hit of the game. Pop Rising was up next and Pop has always been dangerous man in a pinch and accord | ingly Lefty" Rogers got his order to walk him, which he did. It vas our one fatal mistake. Jimmy Burns had done nothing with Rogers up to that 1 inning, and the fans were about to l shout for a victory, when suddenly Jimmy banged one of Rogers slants 1 and the ball sailed on a line to the left garden. Swander was waiting l for it and then came the blow which poured the coldest kind of ice water on the hopes of the rooters. The ball | struck the earth directly in front of ! Swander, connected with pebble, bounded high into the air and passed many feet over the head of Swander.
 Around the bases flew Standard and Rising and following them closely was little Jimmy Burns, the hero of the day. Over the plate went the first two and when the ball was recovered
 Burns stood gleefully on the third corner and the game had been woll for Springfield. We had one opportunity to score in the ninth if we could have connected safely with the curves Of
 Hess, butt after Rogers had made a hit and McAndrews had got his base on being hit by the twirler, Ward sent one into the mitt of the right fielder and big George Lachance popped an easy one to short and the game was
 over.
 Waterbury began the scoring in the third, when. with one out, Rogers hammered one along the third base
 line for two base and Mike McAn-
 drews drcve him home with a drive
 to the left garden. Springfield threw
 the first bomb in the fourth. Stankard
 and Rising the first two men up drove
 out two doubles both ;n the same ter
 ritory, to left field. Then sacrifice

 Ward and McAndrews gave Spring

 in the sixth on a base on balls to
 Ward, smashing hit to center by La.
 chance and an out to the outfield or which Ward scored. We gave tue fans their moneys worth in the seventh when, after McEnroe and McNellis had struck out, Rogers followed witl hit. McAndrews banged one to cen ter and Standard booted it all over ths field, then little Ward sent home tn, leading run with mighty wallop After that came the blasted hopes oi the rooters in that. unfortunate eigh inning. The score:

If big George had only landed on one of those balls in that last inning for a safe one he could nave had all the candy the fans could purchase. Hess was ready however and had the big chaps alley.
 There is great interest centered in that last game tomorrow between the Brooklyns and the Washington Hills. These two old rivals will do battle for Ill that is in them to win out. One of the biggest crowds of the season should be on hand to see the contest.
 Lefty Bill Rogers was in the game in every department He made two of the four runs. had a double and two singles in four times at bat and accepted his only three chances cIeanly. That Is good enough for one day

 Pop Rising has missed getting al least one safe hi; in but three games out of the twenty-three played this season. The New London papers said Springfield would soon learn some of Rising's eccentricities and il certainly likes those Pop has shown thus far.

Just to kid the o Rourke clan along, Holyoke handed out a half dozen runs in the first third of the game and then unkindly went in and accumulated the same number and one more before the curtain was rung down upon the nine-act farce. It really looked at the outset that as though in pity Holyoke would in sist upon the Oratorical Blunders lugging back the game to Bridge port with them, but it was needed to put the team back in first place.
