THE DIAMOND
TOUGH TO LOSE
 SUCH A GAME
Fourteen Innings and Then Came the BuDgle Another Manager
 Forfeiis.

If that game of yesterday had ended in a victory for Bridgeport, without the aid of a couple of mis-
 plays by one of the local players,
 the spectators would not have felt
 half so badly over the defeat. But to have the game tied up in the
 ninth and won in the fourteenth by the errors of "Spud" Murphy, made the dose bitter one to swallow.
 And yet opuddy' was just as anx- ious to win that battle as was any
 other player on the field, but 1t
 just fell to his lot to be in at the killing and be the main squeeze in the death himself. The game was we'll contested one, with Farley and Brown both pitching good ball and getting out of pad holes. Not man had crossed the plate up to the eighth inning, when Frank Fitze patrick thought it was about time something was doing. One man was out and Fitzy had taken second. Nick was at the bat and as the pitcher started to unwind, Fitzy started for third. Nick smashed the ball to Miller at third, who hurled over to Phelan at first. Fitz never stopped running, however, and he was nearing the plate when Phelan sent 1t flying back to Kennedy. It was too late as Fitzy flew on over the plate with the first run of the game. Great base running and the fans applauded accordingly.
 That looked good to us, that one big one but in the ninth ''Spuddy" did his little act. Phelan ham, mered one up in the air, which Mur- phy should have taken, but he did n't. Miller next up struck out, but old Terry Rogers, rejuvenated Ter ", who has been dropped and re- engaged by Bridgeport more times than he is years old. Terry just laid against one of Farley's choicest ones and two sacker resulted and Plc- Ian came over with the tying run. Splendid work by Cassidy and Swan der, the two left fielders, in the next two innings held both sides runless. Tn the fourteenth came the visitors chance and they took it. Miller died at third trying to squeeze three-bagger out of a two- sacker. Terry Rogers hammered a grounder at Murphy and that wor~ thy let it get away from him. Ter ry took second on the next play and came all the way home with what proved to be the winning run, on Browns safe drive to the outfield. We made stab for it in our half but fell down. The score:

. UMPIRE MAY RESIGN.
Charlie Kennedy Tired of Being
 Target for Abuse.

Springfield, July 29.-It was re- ported last night that Umpire
 Charles Kennedy of this city in- tended to hand in his resignation to Supervisor of Empires John E. Ken nedy of Bristol, Conn, this morn- ing, as result of the trouble on the Hartford grounds yesterday af- ternoon, when he forfeited the sec ond game of a double header with New Haven to the home team. It is understood that Kennedy is thor. oHghly disgusted with the treatment that has been accorded him by cer- tain managers in the circuis and vodld rather quqit the job at once than stand for further abuse. It Is claimed that Manager George Pone of New Haven kicked on a de- cision in the eighth inning tt Hartford yesterday when the play was not even close. Kennedy lined him $5 and then, after returning 10 the bench, Bone is alleged to have gone back on the field, heapins abuse upon the umpire, and when he refused to leave the lots, Ken nedy pulled out his watch and de- clared the game forfeited.
 Supervisor of Empires Kennedy said last night that he had hear1 that Umpire Kennedy had stated that he would resign, put expected to talk with him over the telephone this morning and endeayor to have him change his mind, as he realizes that he is a valuable man and the league could i'll afford to lose his services. Through a frien1, Umpil Kennedy sent the supervisor word last night to send someone else to in this city this afternoon because of adverse comments upon hiE work here.
