 bury pulled out but once the long est straw in its bundle of chances with New Britain yesterday after noon, while the home team took two at clip in each of three innings. Waterbury also drew pocket full of pop corn, when ball pitched by Bronkie landed in the basket of one of the boy vendors and knocked out two bundles, but the lad put them back in the basket and sold them.
 But if the visitors hadn't had pop corn for breakfast and dinner, too, it is safe guessing that they had something soft.

 New Britain played a good field ing game. Waterman had an error or two, but made some clever plays which counterbalanced them. Brown pitched good ball and the brass bats did not get him nervous.

Burns paid no further attention to him, but quickly threw the ball to Bunyan. It got there ahead of the batter. Mullaney didn't like 1t a little bit when the ump ordered him of the field. He claimed he wasn't out, but he soon subsided and re- tired. The ump wasn't going to have the players running all over the lot getting from one base to the other. just as If they were playing hide and seek.
