THE DIAMOND
A HARD GAME FOR US TO LOSE
Hartford Repeats the Dose of the Day Before and Farley Loses
 His First Game.

 line in the last inning, the few hun dred fans, present at the Hartford and Waterbury game yesterday, urged them on to take fall out of Nick Cunningham and bring in at least the tying run, but the hit that they longed for never came. Cum ningham was there with bells hang ing all over him and he jingled them merrily as he made Swander, Nichols and Schincel bow down before him in one, two, three order. The best Swander could do was to roll one to Nick himself, Nichols popped one up to the shortstop and the wrathy local captain retired to the bench disgusted with the inevitable out come, and Schincel rolled one to third and was nailed at the first station, while the fans left the field humiliated at the two successive de- feats by the Hartford players.
 It was one of the best pitchers battles that has been seen on the local diamond this season with first Eddie Farley having shade the best of it and then Nick Cunningham taking the honors. Both were in fine form and Farley had just two bad sessions, while the Hartford twirler had but one. The game promised to be brilliant one right from the very start, for in the first inning Justice slammed one to deep field that looked good for three bases at least. Eddie Swander was after 1t in his old time form and pulled it down just when 1t looked like ready money for Justice. So 1t was all through the game, for when the twirlers were not finding the holes in the bats of the hitters, the teams behind them were fielding with almost faultless shakpness. Far ley took the honors in strike outs, having nine to his credit. while Cum ningham was just behind him with eight.
 "Shamokin" Kelly had his hands full trying to keep the unruly Hart lords within bounds. They certain ly performed more cut-ups than any team that has sat on the local bench. They wouldn't remain quiet a second and persisted in criticising the um- pire's decisions. Finally Leliyeit, who was the worst offender, was given a s5 a fine for disputing strike, and, to get square, threw stone at Kelly, when he was not booking, that struck him In the back. or came the umpire's mask as quick as a flash and, turning toward the Hartford bench, he remarked that if he knew who threw the stone he would bet one cold samoleon he would never throw another. A little bit of peace then lowered over the visitors quarters, but they broke loose again in the ninth when they were about to score the winning run.
 Hartford scored first in the third on three singles by Justice, Moves and Nehring, which sent Justice over the plate. We set the fans up on the pedestal of hope in the sixth when McAndrews drove out safe one, stole second, went to third on La. chances out to first and came home on Eddie Swander's good drive to center. Then there was battle royal which ended all too unexpect. edly. In the ninth with one out, Fall lon came to the bat. He had struck out three times before that and he had two strikes on him again. when his bat. just brushed the Rext ball and it rolled about ten feet along the third base line. Before any one could get it Fallon was on first Rothfuss was the next man up and almost the first ball pitched he got against 1t hard. Before 1t stopped hurtling through the air it bounded against the left field fence and Fall lon was over the plate with the run that won the game. Rothfuss took third. but the next two men were easy outs and then came our chance in the ninth which was told of above The cQ0ra.
