in the. Connecticut League race, held
at the Savin Rock grounds yesterday
afternoon, exhibited to the few hun
dred supporters of. the local club base
ball in it's final stage. The tailenders
worked Brown for three runs in the
first three innings aud virtually Won
the game in this one-third Of the con-
test. The Brownies had a total of
three more hits than the Whalers, but
several of them were of the scratch
variety,
Billie Hayward worked In three pref
ty hits, one Of them homer over the
left field fence, scoring New Haven's
first run. Danaher's new find, Betcher,
located on the second base performed
splendidly, He was there with the
wallop, hammering out two hits, and
he also fielded his position to perfec-
ton. Ham" Wade as usual covered
the whole field behind second base, but
he failed to connect with Treats bend
ers. "Huckleberry" Cornell, who has
been chosen to lead the New Haven.
team, was still out of the game owing
to the five days suspension. Har-
ry Jope otherwise known as the 'Old
Dog" or the Mute" was acting cap
tain. He took excellent care of his
men, taking precaution not to allow
them to indulge too freely in the game.
That he would not have any hard feel
ing among the players was especially
shown when he whispered to Phil Cor
coran at the end of the third inning to
take Browns position on the slab. but
not to allow Brown to know who told
him to do 1t.
The excellent team work Of the tail
enders was exhibited In the third in
ming, when Jope poked out fly be-
tween Waterman and Rankin. Both
players started after the ball and af-
ter dizzily watching it gently descend
from the high position it had gained,
they stepped aside and allowed the
spheroid to seek the ground, gener-
ously allowing Harry hit, This play
was only one of the many exhibited
in this slow contest.
Phil Coreoran, who relieved Brown in
the fourth inning, pitched good ball and
IL he had not been handicapped by his
predecessors bad start, he would have
come out with a victory. Brown was
wild and was also hit whenever hits
were needed. Phil had the honor of
getting a bingle off Treat, but Treat
had the exclusive honor of hammering
a Dagger off Corcoran. Bunyan smash
ed the ball out to within ten feet of
the intersector of the left field fence
and the center field partition of Dana
hers play grounds in the sixth. Jack
was unable to get further than second
on this long drive
New London took advantage Of
Browns wildness and laid away three
runs on cold storage, for safe keep
ing during his three inning stay in the
box In the initial inning, Waterman
fouled to the Kid Rankin bingled,
Finn slid a blistering eraser to Betch-
er, which this player flelded cleanly and
threw promptly to second, but Rankin
was there Just In time to be called safe.
McCabe caused the first damage of the
game, hammerlng one Of Coreoran's
teasors out over second for a pretty
bingle, Rankin crossing the life line.
Jope threw to second to head off Nc
Cabe on his steal, but Keenan, inter-
cepted the throw and returned it to
Jope, catching Finn at the plate by
nearly foot. Hayes walked and Muir

Rankin bingled again, Waterman trav

again put the game on ice with a
singing hit over second, Waterman
and Rankin scoring. Hayes and Muir
ray ballooned the ball to Wade. d.
Phifs appearance in the box at least
in the fourth inning proved of no conse-
quence in abating the Whalers' runs.
