Bridgeport here tomorrow.
 That was a we'll earned victory.
 Stanley Yerkes had all the goods with him and did his work well. His eight assists showed how the long fellow was fielding his posi- tion.
 Charley Kennedy held the indica- tor yesterday and some of the fans tried to get back at him for one game last season when he did not quite suit them. His work yester- day was all wool and yard wide.
 When it came time to call the sec ond game the field was a scene of mud and Umpire Kennedy called it of. The rain which had held off until almost the close of the first contest came down in heavy showers during the rest of the day and put the playing surface on the down and out list.
 Yerkes struck out three men yes terday and the funny thing about it was that he dropped them all in one inning. He had the Hartford batsmen tied to a tree all through the game and the hits that were made were we'll scattered.
 Bridgeport and the O'Rourkes will be here tomorrow and perhaps Red John Waller may be sent in against our team of winners. If he is We will just about trim him to a nicety.
 Treat lost his first game for New London yesterday when the New Ha- vens found him for a few hits.
 Karch. who is doing the back-stop work for Hartford while O'Leary is on the sick list. is only a young fel- low. but he certainly discharged his duties right up to the handle yester- day.
 Just look at the receipts that were lost up in Springfield yesterday be- cause of the rain. Holyoke was to have played there and both teams being a tie, there certainly would have been an outpouring of the fans,

THE DIAMOND
I'VE EARNED | THE VICTORY
Locals Defeated Hartford in a Good Ninth Inning Finish -
 New Haven Won.

There were some wild hurrahs and general rejoicing out on the Reidville reservation yesterday afternoon just as the last inning of the first game scheduled was about to come to an end, when Wee Willie Ward smashed one of Wizard Cunningham's bend CTS in the eye, and dropped the ball out in left field, while long legged Yerkes skinned. around from second base and crossed the home station with the run that won the battle. It had been an exciting contest up to that time, for both pitchers, Yerkes and Cunningham, were un- winding curves that had the batters doing twisters to get at. The score was a tie, 2 and 9, when we went to bat for the last time. Bronkie had died from third to first and Yerkes, the next man up, waited for four bad ones, which were given him. He went down to second when McAn- drews drove grounder to Nehring at the first station, retiring Mack. Then Ward came to the toll station. Cunningham worked every conceiva- ble kind of a curve, but Ward was on to them all. Four times did he brush the stitches of the leather and four times did the ball sail into foul territory. The next one came sail ing over the plate straight as an ar row. Ward met 1t squarely and out into left center it sailed, while Yerkes raced for home. The ball was sent like a shot from the left garden by Fallon. It struck the soft earth in front of the plate and swerved away from Karch, who was waiting for it, while Yerkes planted his foot on the winning slab and the game was over.
 Wards there was one or two other features of note. In the third inning Ward threw the ball wide to La chance and the big fellow had to use the limit of that long reach for which he is noted while one toe rested on the bag. He brought the ball down with one hand, while even the Hart ford players applauded the catch. Yerkes gave no bases on balls, while Cunningham presented Waterbury with five. Three of those free passes gave us an opening for the three runs credited to our side.
 Hartford scored her first run in the second when Fallon drove one out to left garden. It was good for one base, but owing to the condition of the field Eddie Swander let 1t go by him and Fallon took second. From there he went to third on an out from pitcher to first and came home on Noyes's long fly out to right garden. The next one came in the fourth on single by Justice, a sacri- flee and a single by Nehring, scoring Justice.
 Waterbury began her score In the first inning. McAndrews had gone out from third to first, when Ward drew four bad ones. Lachance ad- vanced him on his out from short to first and Ward came home on Swan- der's safe smash to left. The next one came in the third, when McAn- drews drew a free pass, stole second and came home on Lachance's drive for a safe base. Our last one was made in the last inning, as told above. The score:

PLAYERS BEING RELEASED.
Two of the Locals Were Turned
 Loose Last Night.

Manager Durant has begun the spring wedding out process and at least two of the Waterbury players were sent looking for other positions. The two released are McEnroe and Curtiss. Both have worked hard to make the team, but they have been supplanted by faster players. There is no doubt but that each of them will land on some other team, for they are better than a whole lot of players in this league. One of the pitching staff is slated for release, too, but which one Manager Durant would not say to-day.

THE PUGILIST MATCH IS
 POSTPONED
Burns and Squires Will Meet ol July Fourth Rouse O'Brien
 Won Last Night.

San Francisco, May 17.---James Coffroth, manager of tue Colma A. C., has decided that the Squires and Burns fight was set for a poor date when May 30 was chosen, and has postponed the international heavy weight bout until July 4.
 Ill changing the date it is expected the crowd will almost double in size, as Frisco has always made the Fourth the day for holding the great lights.
 Squires made a statement at the time of the match, saying he had found the climate of California much like that of Australia and wouldn't have to lay around for couple Of months in order to become acclimated. He went into hard training and is now in fine shape.
 Tommy Burns will arrive here in q day or so and start light training. He will then post a forfeit of S5,0O0, and if the conditions of the fight are car ried out this forfeit will go as a side bet.
 In case Squires beats Burns he may become worlds champion without ever meeting Jim Jeffries. Jeff has recently stated that if Sanires wins from Burns he will fight Squires, pro- viding he can get in shape.
 i've been out of the ring for q long time," said Jeff, and I'm sure it would take me a few months to get in shape now"
 Jeffries will work harder than he ever did in his life to get into proper fighting shape if Squires wins from Burns on the Fourth. But should Burns win the championship he will let Tommy wear the honors.
 Still Jeff will be on guard and prob ably in near enough condition to lick any foreigner who may butt in.
