Waterbury, Conn, Aug. Perform
ing the courteous act, the New Haven
nine today dropped a game to the tall
enders after four consecutive Victories
over them In one-sided affair, to the
tune Of TO 2, The locals started In
quick style to hoard up TALES, smash
ing into Larry Hannifan's shoots for
three In the first Larry started out
well. tanning DOC" Cote. and 1t looked
like a gala day for the Elm City con-
tingent. 1t only looked so, for the Wa
terbury lumber wielders, Immediately
fathoming Larry, started to cook his
goose In this manner: First two glori-
GUS singles, then a two Dagger and
then another more glorious single.
That was enough. for by the time the
pill massacre had subsidized, the locals
had tailed three times.
AS soon as the New Haven players
evacuated the diamond and migrated
to the bench. Bone asked Herbst II he
was in condition TO pitch and on re-
ceiving an Affirmative answer. told the

for the Brass City. George Bone said
that he asked his twirlers II any OF
them had sore pitching arm and as
they all said they were in the pink of
condition, he decided TO take Hannifan
and Herbst along. As Hannifan could
not withstand the initial onslaught OF
the local batsmen, the only course for
him ~ 20
though Andy confessed that his arm
was a little lame, after he had arrived
in Waterbury. Big Andy. however, an
swered to the call and warmed up and
entered the box.
It was little wonder that the locals
landed on him for nine well-timed hits
and received Ave passes. This with that
of the first inning gave Durants men
a lead which the visitors were unable
to get within hailing distance of. Not
visiting man crossed the plate until
the ninth session
During the contest the visitors were
playing with an unusual lineup, many
changes being made. Simmons. presi
dent of the bag trust, presided at first
base, Manager George Bone, vice pres
ident, at second. and O'Rourke, secre-
tary stalked about the dizzy corner IN
place Of kid" Sherwood, who Is laid
up with the Charley horse" or In 9TH
er words an injured pedal The re-
naming part Of the nine held their old
positions, content with membership
This new organization proved unsuc-
cessful with the innocent looking will
low, getting only four scattered bin
goes before the final inning off Bron-
kie's delivery.
History repeats itself but not yester-
day for the New Haven Waterbury
game at New Haven did not result as
the New Haven Waterbury game at
Readvlle. Lucky for the locals 1t did
not for at New Haven the vieitors Sc
cured seven runs in the ninth inning.
During this final period Havel, after
one man had persisted, hit by third
sack and snatched first base. Following
him zacher famed, Simmons then got
his only safe swat of the game advance
/ ing Havel to third base. With two men
on bases George Bone advanced to the
plate. The fans when Bone first batted,
! thought that polo was enough for
George and were expecting him to fan.
Not so however for the playing mana
ger of the visitors connected, although,
he was put out. At that the fans
were somewhat hushed and when he
approached to bat for the last time
they again vented their opinions and
hoped for Bones strike out. That must
have aggravated Bone for when the
sphere came over he walloped 1t, pierre
ing the atmosphere about the center
garden. When the ball was recovered
George was on second base and two
men had scored, thereby saving the
visitors from a. shut out and demon
strating that there was still enough
baseball left in him.
Throughout the melee the locals
were continually getting men on bags
and proved exceedingly dangerous,
while the visitors pushed few men
across second. With the local players
on first base and on second base
Eddie Havel made a dandy catch
of what seemed sure bngo. While
running back and just meeting
the ball Havel saved another tall
ley from being scored by Durant's
performers. Another hard catch was
made by Swander, the left fielder of
the Authors In the fourth session.
After hard run good ways out
side the foul line Swander just caught
the ball within foot Of the ground
Captain O'Hagan showed up great
with the stick getting four hits includ-
ing a double, out of four times at bat
knocking in two runs
The authors got three runs in the
opening inning, when Fitzpatrick
singled to left field, getting second on
a passed ball and scored on Nichols
bingo to left garden. Nichols helped
the scoring by crossing the plate on
o Hagan's double, while O'Hagan
scored on LADDERS swat past third
