 Bridgeport. Aug. 23.-Many have heard of the proverbial Casey who struck out with the bases choked and many have heard of the notorious Swat Mulllgan, who instead of flaming when the bases were full, clouted the hall into deep center, where 1t landed into the fast speeding automobile, thereby allowing Mulligan's swat to clear the bags. The New Haven nine has many, yea, very many, in Gov. Casey's class. but they also boast of having representative In Swattie Mulligans class. The individual who has taken out membership for Swat's association has been a cruel master. The pill has suffered much at his hands. the stick also-both be- ing unmercifully banged throughout the season. George W. Simmons, for merly second then third, yesterday first sacker and soon Giant, is this new addition to the s. M. association.
 To-day at Steeplechase park (near here Simmons hat once left him) Eimmie smudged before the contest that the only way to win out was to get bingo right away. For Red if a bingo could not be secured off him in the early sessions, 1t would never be secured, no matter if one went begging for it. Whereupon the 300 striker came up to bat In the first inning with Andy Herbst, the visiting member of right garden on second and started to make good his prophe- cy. He just let his trusty stick col- lide with the horsehide toward left field and contentedly settled on second sinr Andy's former abode. Again Sim mons went hot foot after Waller, this time creating havoc In the fourth ses- sion with Captain Zacher at second He being one of Mulligan's followers. he endeavored to follow in the foot steps of his leader This time he smi iashed the sphere hard, sending 1t to an auto in center field Ills aim was too strong. and the occupants deodged the pill, which sailed grace f. ully over the fence after a beautiful lbound. As Simmons waltzed the bags, the usual orchestra of applause fol- flowed him.
 Another individual who made a strong bid for the s. M. association was Big Andy Herbst. Twice Andy coaxed and induced the pill to wander far, with the result that he purlolned two bases each trip.
 Everything looked rosy and cheer ful for New Haven as far as the sixth inning and no further. Up to this time. the contest belonged to the visit ors, and the locals did not have a gay in It.. With the score to 2 favoring them in the sixth they became a little too over confident and lost the contest They began to navigate In the aerial regions with great ardor and large part of the visitors went way up, put ting Wright's and zeppelins attempts to shame. While they were perform ing these exhibitions the locals woke up and not only tied the score but put themselves in the lead. What assisted them greatly was the contln- ual boots of the visitors. Quite a few took chances at kicking the ball, and even after they did make hard stops they would spoil the play by making wild heaves. s
 Murry, the new backstop, figured prominently in these flights He jug gled the third strike long enough to let man get first and his wild heave to third to get this same man was so much out of the way that the man easily scored. George Bone, whc played second, also booted, but as George does not profess to be a star on account of his weak throwing arm and just went dn to fill in the nine, his wild heave was excusable, considerine that the man failed to score. Besides this Bone's playing with the visitors now and then has helped the nine along for he Is a good sticker, al. though he failed to connect safely yesterday, and generally fields In good style. Forgue also booted, making a poor throw tt first and letting one get by him. The locals followed up the scoring by get. ting another tally In the seventh in. ming, safely slowing away the contest The visitors, on the other hand, were helpless, Red Waller settling down Although Red Waller had ten strike outs charged to his credit, he wa. touched up quite freely In the open Ing part of the game and was also saved from a defeat by the visitors errors connected with the locals abil ity to bang Carrick's delivery in 2 batch m the sixth. The sscore.
