MAKE SCORE II TO S

New Haven can breathe freely az
last, because the strong armed guards
ians of the city's peace completely
vanquished the outlaws at WATERSHEDS
Park yesterday afternoon. The OUT
laws have been very persistent in get~
ting in the way of the Bluecoats. air
though they have been defeated ana
driven back every time.
Still they renewed the attack ana
gaining courage by reason Of tiS.
game played last week. they dared
make charge on our finest againsyeH+
terday. a
The police have tried to deal kindly
with them so far as was consistent
with demanding due respect to tha
formers dignity and baseball abllikysj
but the pertinacity of the Outlaws sos
aroused the bluecoats yesterday that
they not only made SO fierce an as-e
sault as to drive them back but van
pushed them so compieteiWs th9k they
will no longer figure in amateur base-s
ball circles again. The score was Ia
to in favor of the policemen.
The police had the game In change
from the moment the umpire saids
rush, making two talIies in the first
inning. The police were stronger at
the bat This the Outlaws conceded
before the game began, bat the form
shown in both irlfield and outtield sur
prised the policemen themselves. They
played like clockwork. Special mem
ton should be made Of the fielding Of
Eergt. Connolly and Patrolnan Roach.
The few hits that the Outlaws got
were turned to little or no account be-
cause of the excellent fielding. The
work Of Tracy and Sullivan, the police
battery, was splendid
The Outlaws were also good at field
ing. AT one stage of the game. Capt
Lautenback lined out terrific fly into
left field 1t SCARED far beyond the
fielder, but Mulligan ran back and
made beautiful catch, putting out TIKI
runner. But the Outlaws were week
at the bat. Somehow they failed to
connect with Sullivan's benders and
they totaled only six hits during the
nine innings, to twelve for the police
men.
The best batting for the hluecoats
was done by Capt Lautenback. In
Ave times at bat, he made four hitss
two being double baggers and two
singles. Tracy also starred Tor the po-
lice. When he stepped so strongly up
to the bat in the seventh everybody
saw that something was about to hap-a
pen. The anticipation was justified for
he scored the only home run Of the
game
Frank Stanley, who went in first I'd
pitch for the Outlaws, seemed to be
suffering temporarily from a weak
arm. He has acquitted himself finely
in former games. but the bluecoats had
him at their mercy yesterday. Bob
Willis was put in at the end Of the
fourth and he held the policemen down
for two innings. He weakened In the
seventh and eighth, but showed UP
good again in the ninth.
The outlaws attribute their defeat
to the poor condition Of their pitcher.
They are strong set Of fellows, but
this admission makes the policernen'S
victory appear in stronger light The
blueeoat team is getting stronger ev-
cry day and is rapidly rounding into
shape for the championship games
with the Meriden, Waterbury and
Bridgeport bluecoats. With the ex-
ception of one game with waterbury.
week after next, the Championship
games will not be played until next
month
This week, Thursday, the policemen
will play the Westyille clerks on the
Westville grounds, and on the tWen-
tieth they have a game scheduled with
the All Winchesters
