Holyoke, Mass. Ju, 1.-The locals
Won today's game ron New Haven
by some hard and tir,ely "s ting the
final score being S-4. G. y. pc Bone pre-
scented Stoup in the box D. 4 when 1t is
realized that the tall twi-l~- had not
pitched for five weeks prior to the
game II must be allowed that he did
unusually we'll After the contest he
was pretty well used up and In fact
twlrled for fully four innings simply on
his nerve Once he rounds into shape
those who are In O position to know
say that he will have few superiors
in the circuit. Fielding honors today
were shared by Dolan and George La
chance while the former with Boucher
led In the batting end. The visitors
failed In almost every instance to hit
when blngo was most needed, that is
with men on bases and this had much
tn do with the final result New Haven

passed. took second on a sacrifice by
Eddie Pleiss and continued to the hot
corner on Havel's out With three balls
and two strikes on George Simmons
Westerberg started for the plate the
moment Carson Hodge began his swing
and by neat slide stole home as Sim
mons received pass. II was heady
play run off by Manager Bone and in
n great many games would be the big
feature. The locals evened up in their
half on two errors by Westerherg. Do
Ian singled and Boucher hunted to
Sherwood who threw perfectly TO Wes-
terberg to force Dolan at second by
the visiting short stop dropped the
heave and all hands were safe. On
Hambacher's out Sherwood to La
chance. Dolan went to third and scored
when Westerberg threw poorly to
catch him after neatly picking up
Massey's bounder, In attempting to
steal second Massey was out and by n
quick return to Waters Westerberg got
Boucher at the plate completing a
!. pretty double play. In the third pc
Rod after Stoup went out westerberg
hit safely, Pleiss walked and George
Simmons got a timely drive scoring
Westerberg but there was nothing
more doing as Hodge was too much of
puzzle. With two men out Of the
!. way Dolan singled In the locals half
and by fast sprnting scored on Bouch-
.er's two base hit on the hit and run
play. Hembacher flied out to Sim
mons. Holyoie broke up the game in
the fifth banging the sphere In fierce
style. Baker walked and was advanc-
ed to third on two neat sacrifices by
Ahearn and Hodge. With two men
down Dolan got his second clean swat
over second scoring Baker. Boucher
hit safely for two sacks and Ham
bacher banged out three Dagger
against the left field fence scoring both
runners. Massey scored Hambacher on
his safe one but was forced at second
on Perkins tap to Weeterberg. The

Tighe's men after Hodge had been re-
tired. Dolan sneaked In his fourth
clean hit which was followed on the
hit and run play by Boucher's two

layed steal reached second and Perkins
got hit on which Boucher tailed.
Perkins in attempting the delayed
steal was an easy out, stoup to Sim
mons. In the following session the vis-
itors ran two runs across. Lachance
got an infield hit and Zacher was
struck In the back Sherwood got a
timely blngo and Lachance by fast
work scored. On Waters out Zacher
came in but stoup famed ending the
period. New Haven failed to hit as
well as the local sharps predicted they
would and there must be an improve
ment II the club hopes to be q epnnant
winner. After the game Manager
Bone said that the batting order
would DO changed In the near future
which may help matters to a consider
able degree.
