Merldcn Has No Trouble With Hart- ford--Massachusetts Clubs
 Win Out
CONNECTICUT LEAGUE STANDING.
GAMES TO-DAY. New Haven at Springfield. Waterbury at Hartford. Merlden at New Britain. Holyoke at Bridgeport.

It may be an interesting fact for the baseball fans to know that Phil. Corcoran yesterday pitched hls third shut-out game for New Haven, blank ing the ball tossers from New Britntn by a score of three to little round 0. He began this brilliant record on May 26 in Waterbury, shutting cut Du. ants pets 70, followed 1t up here on the 29th. in the memorable four teen-inning contest against the league leaders applying coat of whitewash and allowing them but five scattered hits--one of which was of very doubt full character-and yesterday retired the bank wreckers" in 1, 2, order in nearly every inning. They obtain ed but three safe hits and left tho field fully realizing that Mir. Corcocan was their stumbling block. Thus the genial twirler has worked for thirty two innings, allowing but fourteen Elts and keeping the opposing nine from registering a single tally, His work was responsible for New Britain's downfall yesterday. As an example of his effectiveness-in the eighth after Bunyan had flied out McEnroe got safe swat close to the third base line and reached second by some of his characteristic sprlnting, O'Meara followed with a single to center field but Zacher held McEnroe on the dizzy corner Corcoran then frightened up and Treat went out, Havel to DugSan while Waterman could do not better than pop weakly to Havel. It showed that the local twlrler is at his best with men on bases an asset of im- mense value to any pitcher.
 Kennedy was again in charge of the game and his work was in marked contrast to that of Monday. Yester- day he didn't slip up once and the game went along without a hitch. al- though 1t took some time for him, prior to the getaway to announce the batteries. New Haven scored in the second after Simmons had been retir- ed. Zacher got free pass and stole second. Duggan sent a long fly out to McCabe in right field. Za,her been caught and scored when OMeara pasted the ball over McEnroe's head. Waters went out Waterman to Bun van, ending the inning.
 Again in the sixth the locals tallied. Hayward started things by banging out a pretty bingo. Pleiss sacrin ,ed and Hayward vas all but put out cn Bunyan's throw to Waterman. On Havel's out Hayward reached third and scored on Simmons hard bang for base O'Meara threw Simmons out at second moment later, retir- ing the side.
 In. the seventh the locals put the game on ice. Zacher led off with a two bagger. Duggan sacrificed him to third from where he scored on Sher- woods out. Waters flied out to Mar sons, ending the inning.
 In but two innings-the third and eighth---did New Britain get men on bases and in both instances their at- tempts to score were futile owing to Corcorans cunning. It was grea, day for him and if he keeps such work up there will be nothing to jt. Paddy" O'Meara caught his second game for the visitors and save for his one wild heave performed creditably Two years ago when he was catching for Plainville. Pete Wilson wanted to land him with Hartford. but for come reason unknown tho capital city man. agement couldn't see him. Charlie McEproe of this city put up clever game at third and received hearty hand when he stepped to the plc.e in the third inning, Sherwood and Havel accepted some difficult chance! without misplay and the former knocked down at least one hit. The summary:
