sponsible for the following account of the game yesterday:
 Bridgeport won from Waterbury, yesterday afternoon, s to 1, by heavy batting aided by the splendid work of Waller in the box, In the second inning they. landed on Car mody, an amateur that Manager Du- rant was giving try-out in the box, for double and two singles which were made to yield three runs. In the next inning they touched up Nc Partlin, who succeeded him, for a total of four hits, two triples, a double and a single, which with a costly error on the part of Lauder were made to yield four more runs
 Waller while not seemingly ex- erting himself pitched fine ball and held Waterbury to four scattered hits and had it not been for wild throw by Hit in the eighth inning Waterbury would have been shut out. This great lead made the game dull and uninteresting although at times the playing was snappy. Contrary ato general expectation Captain Harry O'Hagans of !, Water bury played with the team. Buc his behavior was very mild and lamb-like. Umpire Rorty, by his decisions on balls and strikes, fur nished the comedy feature of the game although his work in this line made the fans grate their teeth.
 . ''In the ninth inning Uncle Jeenls" O'Rourke went in behind the bat, relieving Kennedy and thus making his. 36th consecutive season that he has played professional ball. He had only one chance, throw to second to catch Bronkie attempt ing to steal that bag after being passed. The throw was as accurate as any he ever made and the run ner was caught out by Hit long be- fore he reached the bag, thus end ing the game,
 "Carmody started to pitch for Waterbury. He is an amateur, who according to his own story had it on all the league pitchers. He of- fered the batters a wide curve so slow that the ball looked like ball. loon as it crossed the plate. He went all right the first inning and struck out Hit, but in the second the Orators had him sized up all right. e .a." -"
 "Phalen, the first batter up, tore off a nice double and Miller fol- lowed with an attempted sacrifice which Carmody in his inexperience threw to third to, try and catch Miller who had arrived there well ahead of the ball. Then Terry Rogers singled and Miller trotted across the plate with the first run of game, Kennedy with his single sending in Miller, while Rogers with that agility for which he is noted was seen roasting on third when the ball had been fielded in. Jimmy" 0'Rourke drove a long fly out to Bronkie and Rogers trottel home on the out, scoring the third run.
 'McPartlin was called out of his dreams as he sat warming the bench and put in to pitch in the third inning. There is where Man ager Durant made a fatal mistake since he did not give the veteran a chance to warm up bit.
 'As result he. was easy for the Orators. Ladd forgot his usual caution and slammed at the first ball pitched to him and sent it sailing out into left center for a double. Hit followed with a single, scoring Ladd. Phelan tore of a triple and Miller followed suit, the ball go- ing under a carriage in left center and allowing sPhalen and Hilt to score. Kennedy drove a warm one at Lauder but the throw was so poor that Miller scored and Ken nedy went to second. This ended the scoring for time.
 Tn the fifth Bridgeport made three hits in succession, but Miller allowed himself to be fooled by a short throw to Fitzpatrick as if to catch Terry Rogers stealing from first, with the result that Fitzpat- rick hurled the ball to Shincel in time to catch the runner before he could reach home. Kennedy sim gled- but allowed MePartlin to catch him sleeping at first.
 'Ladd made Bridgeport's last run m AAE NAbhAhs AAt EAhElNAa was sttN- rificed to second by Hit and scored on Phalen's hard drive to Bronkie. Miller also singled in this inning but allowed himself to get caught at home just as he had done pre- viously.
 Meanwhile Waterbury was hay ing hard work to score due to the pitching of Waller. Although he issued passes freely and al least twice had the bases full still Waller prevented the lone hit that would allow them to score But theif time finally arrived in the eighth inning. 0'Hagan was at the bat ana drove a warm one at Hit. The ball was stopped. but HfIt with plenty of time to field threw wild to Phe- Ian. letting the runner reach first in safety. Hits by Shincel and Mur- phy scored him. The score:
 Bridgeport.
