THE DIAMOND
LOSE ONCE MORE
 BY ONE RUN
Lucky Hit Turns the Table on the Locals in New Haven- Other
 Results.

The New Haven Journal-Courier's account of the game yesterday IS as follows:
 "One of the most interesting games of the season was played yes- terday afternoon at the Savin Rock grounds when the locals defeated Harry Durant's aggregation by q score of 4 to 3. It was the kind of baseball that all true fans rave about-the uncertainty as to the ultimate winner-causing 800 base ball lovers to bite their lips till the blood came and then at last to break out in a mighty roar as Ed die Pleiss sprinted over towards the left field foul line and captured Shincels fly with George Lachanca on third and ending the exciting ex- hibition. Waterbury came here de- termined to go home with the game and with this in mind Heine Bronkie was elected to occupy the slab. Du- rant evidently believed that because his prize twirler had beaten Bones men up in Rockville a week or two ago, he could repeat the trick down here. Clyde Waters, remem- bering that this chap Bronkie was a fiend with a curved ball simply lay back and got up against one of these benders in the seventh with disas- trous results to the Waterbury con- tingent. His hit, which was home run drive within the grounds, re- minded one of Simmons clout off young Parker in the game with Springfield early this week. Be- fore the sphere could be relayed In to Shincel Waters had crossed the rubber and sent Sherwood home ahead of himself, This settled the game, though at all stages the wis. itors were dangerous, which very fact kept the crowd on edge.
 New Haven almost tallied in the second when Simmons got the first of his three hits, He promptly stole second and went to third when Bronkie made a mess of Zacher's bounder. On Herbst's out Zacher reached second. Here the squeeze play was attempted, but Sherwood who was at bat, failed to meet the ball and Simmons was put out half way home. after which Sherwood went out Toner to Lachance.
 Elmer Duggan has been in poor health of late and big Andy Herbst started the game on the initial bag After an inning he gave way to Cornell and each of these men were charged with exeusable errors made because of their unfamiliarity with this position. In the third Bastian singled and Shincel beat out a bunt Bronkie's out advanced both men a base. Cocoran famed Fitzpatrick and the crowd felt easier. Nichols the old St Louis backstop, however was the man to score both men with a pretty bingo and continued to third as the ball all but got lost on the throw home to catch Shincel Swander sent out a fly to Blondy Zacher, retiring the side.
 The locals evenef up things in quick time in their half. Waters singled and went to second on Cor coran's sacrifice. Councils neat in. field hit scored him. Cornell stole second and went to third on Pleiss's out Fitzpatrick to La chance. Havel scored him with a stinging single. Havel went out en. deavoring to purloin second. Tn the following inning the visitors forged ahead again. Mullaney reached first when Connell fell as he was about to receive Sherwood's peg. La. chance sacrificed him to second and Bastian brought him the rest of the way on his safe drive to left. Toner was easily disposed of, after which Shincel singled, Bronkie famed, ending the session.
 Tn the seventh the locals won the game. After Herbst had flied out to Swander, Sherwood walked and came in on Waters drive for four bases Into center field. In the final Inning, Waterbury looked danger ous, but Corcoran was too strong for them to tie the score.
 "Lachanee walked. was advanced on Toners sacrifice and reached third on Bastian's out. Shincel ended the game by flying to Pleiss. The score: ~F
