THE DIAMOND
TRIMMED BY
 NEW HAVEN
The Eighth Inning Proved Our Un- doing Results of All Games
 in Every League.

Robinson of the New Haven Palla. dium tells the story of yesterdays game as follows:
 New Haven came out of the hos pital yesterday and trimmed Water bury to 2. That baseball is more or less lottery was never better ex- |emplified. Both teams played well in the early stages of the game and up to the eighth inning, when the score stood 2 to in favor of the visitors, there was much interest and every thing was running along like an old fashioned kitchen clock. But in the eighth. every card in the deck went against Waterbury. They could not hit them right. They could not field them right. They were wall eyed. spindle shanked failures. Their pitcher was outpitched and their bat ters were outbatted. They could neither fish, cut bait nor row the boat They stood like nine baseball warts on the emerald face of nature But when we were ready to throw up the sponge and various other things we struck the level trail and won out handily. We felt as fine as Maude with her gum in on the molar and her marcel wave in tune. There fore, if there is anything rarer than a day ip June, 1t was the 31st of July. We redeemed ourselves yesterday Brown pitched a grand game of ball. He had them picking daisies where daisies never grew. Even the giant mind of Harry Durant grew weary of the task and his intellectual balcony stood out over the bridge of his nose in a manner painful to see. In fact all of the Waterbury players made clerical errors which were costly to their side. We fielded snappy at times, but in the ninth inning when Moore knocked pop fly to the infield in front of Captain Fitzpatrick, there was direct error of judgment com mitted by our worthy leader. The fly was an easy one. He took too long in having his human mind teie- graph to his legs and hands to do their duty. The ball fell in front oi him as innocently as does an apple fall from tree. Once previous Fitzy tripped up on stingy little infield fly and fumbled all over himself until the runner reached first But they tell us these little hits are harder for good player to field than a hard hit ball. And as Fitz is not an old offender we will suspend sentence in this case.
 The eigth inning was amusing. Poor Rogers was all in and if the pitching factory had been padlocked we would have knocked him out just the same. His curves were not in working order. He could not respond to the signal from Shincel. If Wat erbury had put some one else In the pillory in that inning, but what's the use of post mortems.
 The fielders were as bad and worse than Rogers. They chased the ball but had butter on their fingers. They could not throw to bases. They were suddenly afflicted with inflamatory rheumatism. They couldn't hit and when they did get a chance they ex- ceeded the speed limit running to first. They ran like Jersey COW coming home at milk time But all this took place in that one inning and aside from that little catastrophe the game was clean playing"
 The score:

QUAKERs ARE WINNERS.
They Windup With Victory Over in
 England.

Dulwich, Eng. Aug LA bril- liant victory against Dulwich college brought to satisfactory finish the tour of the University of Pennsyl- vanla's cricket team through England and Ireland. Having a distinct ad- vantage over night the Quakers played splendid game in the field yesterday and disposed of the local collegians twice for combined total less than that made by the Americans in their first innings. The margin of victory was an innings and Is runs. and to the good bowling done by H. V. Hor- dern and A. N. GoodfeIlow q large measure of the success may be as- cribed. Hordern in the first inning captured five wickets for 4s runs. and in the second secured two for 3G. while GoodfelIow took four for A in the first inning and followed this up by taking four for 45 in the second.
 The Englishmen added only 2e runs 10 the over night score and were con- pelIed to follow on The totals were 247 in one inning for Pennsylvania and 20 for two innings by Dulwich.

HOT HEADED TOM.
Former Waterbury Boy Back in Good
 Graces of Fans.

The Elmira Gazette has the follow-I ing story about Tom McNelllis of this city relative to his recent assault on the umpire while playing with the Corning team:
 "The fans are glad that Tommy, McNellis is out of the trouble caused by his hot-headedness of July 4. Els mira fans are good fellows, liberal, thoughtful of another's welfare and are ever cognizant of the fact that all men are human.
 There is no place in the world where human nature displays itself in greater diversity of fans than at ball game
 Men of the silk stocking strata will slap dirty-necked numbskull on the back and shout into his ears That's bird old boy'--at a ball game.
 "A fellow will sit upon the bleacherS and pass his last cigarette over to q drunken sot who is not polite enough to be grateful-at a ball game.
 "A fellow will shout at the top of his lungs The blankety, blank, blank, blankety blank idiot and turn around to dDDlOSiLC tO ulo NAAC ahA HUI WA full of guests-at ball game.
 "A man will so far lose his measley little bit of natural intellect that he will go down in his jeans and hook out tenner to call the bluff of the next man who thinks the sun will set before 1t comes up again--at ball game.
 He will roast the umpire and gnash his teeth at the culprit of power. He will vow be would like to help string the umpire up by the neck and tine would tool but let anybody lay hanG on that self-same ump for the self same reason and Mir Goodplayer. who was so vicious a moment ago will iln- mediately transform into seething rage of what he calls righteous In- dignation but what always looks to the other fellow like beastly show of brute temper. ysI
 "He will condemn the assailaut to dungeon where water may drip upon his aching head until it washes away his reason or he may want the 'culprIt' strung up to the nearest cherry tree. At any rate Mir Good player at once throws out his chest and poses as the law abiding, peace loving citizen who strenuously cou- demns dominoes as vulgar and dangerous sport.
 "Do we make ourself clear7 Is Me- Nellis more than human He IS . good lad and Elmira base ball lovers are glad his troubles are over. If he has any more may they all be "A pounders."

Atlanta Ga, Dec. 29.-With the ad-
vent of the new year the law prevent
ing the manufacture and sale of intoX-
icating liquors passed by the last ses-
sion of the legislature becomes ef-
fective making Georgia the first of
the southern states to be placed in
the prohibition column. The law is
very drastic in its prohibition and pre-
vents the keeping or giving away of
liquors in public places and imposes
a tax of $500 on clubs whose mem-
bers are allowed to keep drinks of an
intoxicating nature in their individual
lockers.
Notwithstanding the passage of this
law, there is some agitation to have Il
declared unconstitutional This action
may be brought in the United States
courts in the course of the month.
1t was claimed that Atlanta would
lose In license taxes $135.652 and that
the property value of saloons and
breweries here, which win go out OF
business on January /, is from $1,000
900 to $1,50O,000. For the rest
of the state, the property values in
Volved are about S5,000,OO0. 1t is es-.
timated that TO- 900 persons will lose
their employment when January |
rings its bell on the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors.
That the prohibition law will be en-
forced there is no question Governor
Smith and the city court officials have
been frank in their statements that
they intend to enforce the law.
Many of the more prominent clubs
have declared that they viii go one
better than the law and prohibit the
keeping of liquors within their doors.
The constitution of Georgia in its
provision for school maintainence is
very specific, according to one Atlanta
lawyer. The question which now arises
is where the funds for the maintcn-
lnce Of the public schools will come
from. and il Is said that considcra-
ole Increase i'm he tax rate may re-
suit.
Governor Hoke Smith made this
statement TO the Associated Press to-
night:
There is nothing in the effort TO
stack the prohibition law on account
IF the provision of the constitution |
special liquor taxes to |
school purposes. The constitution au-
horizes. but does not require, a spe- |
,ial liquor tax.
THE concerns which quit the |
,reWeries are prepared to manufac-
ure ice and soft drinks with which |
hey can pay fair profit on their in
'estments
There is plenty of work in Georgia 4
or those who go out of the liquor
business and plenty of work for all or
he time Of those who have wasted
heir time through the use of liquor"
