THE DIAMOND
LOST A GAME
 THAT WAS WON
Threw Victory Away to New Britain in the Ninth Inuing
 Other Results.

l When Spud Murphy was chased
 by the Roaring One" in the eighth
 inning at Rockville yesterday, New
 Britain was practically given the
 game, score 10 to '. Because oi
 Murphy's exit the Waterbury team
 was changed so 1t was. hardly recog.
 nizable, and in the ninth inning the
 all nation brigade made four runs
 which were four more than the home team had at the time. The score
 was 6 up in the last of the eighth
 with Murphy up, when the. incident
 which caused Rorty to receive the
 roasting which had been in store for
 him by precedent. not that his um-
 piring was bad, but the crowd at Reidville always thinks that Red is giving the home team the leavings Well, Spud became a trifie fussed over a strike that his umps" called and protested in such manner that
 Red said S5. Pedro Padron, who
 was serving them up, tried to sneak one over and Murphy just had time
 to make another foul which, which
 meant another strike and another
 bingo at Red. Murphy evidently
 must have been nasty, for Rorty i'm mediately stopped the game to give Spud a chance to get off early to go to the dressing room.
 Hatpin Harry protested, saying that he had no other man to put in, but Red said: That makes no diff ference; you'll have to get some one."
 There was form out near third base and 1t was requested to come into bat. No, he was not sleeping but he was so interested in the dongs that he did not hear the shouts from the bench to step to the plate. At last McPartlins was called from his dream and wabbled in from third. He hit to short and might have beat it out if he had winged it to the fence. He and Mullaney would make a good sprinting match
 It was a sorry looking make up in the ninth and the fans saw that an other game which had been virtual ly won was going into the profit and loss column. Nichols had to cover third, Cote went to center and Eddie Carmody of the Washington Hills, who had been on the bench, went to right field. Almeida. that rapid baseman of the visitors, was up in the ninth and he drew a pass. By the way, this man, who is reputed to be worth $200,000, yes. playing base ball for pastime. had two singles, a double, a sacrifice hit and a base in balls out of five times up yesterday. Waterman sacrificed, that Is he tried to, but Sillery handled it like a hot egg and Waterman was not only safe but the Cuban went from first to third on the play. Almeida tailed a moment later when McCabe sent a fly to Nichols. Burns drew another pass from Sillery, who was getting himself into a beautiful hole. and Cabrera cleaned the sacks with a three bagger to right. The ball would have been caught if a regular fielder had been there and as it was Carmody almost got under it. Ruf- ange scorched the grass in center field for a wallop that sent "Cabo" across the plate, and the score was now 10 to 6.
 Padron tried his best to give the game to Waterbury in the ninth and might have succeeded in doing so had not Shincel fallen into bed at first base after drawing a pass. Even at that the Cuban forced in a run and there were three men still on base when 0'Hagan flew out to Rufiange | for the third out. Padron was just giving a gesticulating speciality which | alone was worth the price of admis- sion.
 Farley was on the firing line for the first seven innings and New Brit lin found him easy, getting eleven hits. But Sillery was no better. Per laps a trife worse Somebody said t was a shame for the Kid.
 Waterbury did very little batting 0 speak of. The score:
