Providence, R. l., March 24.-In g
 fierce battle for last place in the Ma
 tional league, Providence fell before
 Waterbury last night in a game in which the Grays were outlucked a mile, the score standing 6 to 2, al- though the home team gave Cusick a third more stops than the Rough Riders sent up to Mallory. The visitors had the good fortune to get a start of three goals in the first period and from that time were never headed, although the Grays came within one of tying the score in the second period. Three times Provi- dence caged the ball and each time 1t bounded out and was sent flying into the netting behind Mallory
 Cusick and Mallory had a field day, the former making a lot of hair- raising stops and the latter was fast CT than lightning. The lineup and

ROUGH HOUSE AT BRIDGEPORT.

Bridgeport, March 24.-There was i excitement to burn at the local rink
 last night when the New Britain
 brigands put the Teddys away by the
 score of 4 to 2. The Bank Wreckers
 were feeling peevish and they got in bad with the crowd by roughing it with the Bridgeport players. The result was that Referee Mike Doher- ty called three fouls on Fred Jean and then put him out of the game in the third period. The big French man was banished after he lost his head and kicked the ball viciously because the referee pinned foul on him.
 Then, to add to the excitement, Bill Bannon and Cunningham came to blows, and Bill followed Cunny to the side of the rink, where they clinched. The rooters threatened to swarm on the floor and mix in, but the players and the referee sep arated the pugilists. No blood was spilled.
 In actual polo playing the Bank Wreckers had it on the locals. They passed all around the Teddys and also had it on them in driving. If it hadn't been for Candy Harper's fine exhibition in the goal circle the visitors would have been scoring yet. Candy made 41 stops and every one was a peach. The lineup and sum- mary:

The Standing.

The final week of the series oi games in which William Hoppe and George Sutton are playing prior tc their championship match at 1S.2 balk line next Friday night began last night. At Gruhn's academy
 New York Hoppe again stacked up against Jake Schaefer and he left the Wizard far behind. The score was 400 to 92. Hopes stroke was work very smoothly, and to all appearances all sorts of billiards were made with equal ease. His execution on open table shots while making his run of III was noticeably accurate. He fell one inning short of averaging 50.

HARTFORD WAS EASY.

Hartford, March 24.-The way in
 which the Hartford poloists bom-
 barded the Pawtucket cage and the
 manner in which Pence met the at-
 tack were the main features of the
 exhibition last night. Pence does
 not saw his stick through the air
 with the thrust and parry move
 ments of Mir Sutherland, but he
 raises his shoulders and swings luis legs out, like jumping jack that is manipulated by a string. The Hart ford team put up very poor exhlki- tion of the national indoor game and the Tigers made them look like , cents worth of crab meat fin a paper bag. Captain Hart and Miller were as slow as molasses running in the frigid zone, and Duggan. the tobasco kid, darted in and out between them. taking the ball whenever he pleased. The driving of the Hartfords was as true as a rail fence looks to a Jersey farmer who has been celebrating on applejack. A good many of their shots missed fire altogether and they drove as if the agates in their head were glazed and their vision was ob- scured. The lineup and summary:

Firmin Cassignol defeated George Slosson yesterday afternoon at Slos- sons academy in the 1872 balk line series. Consecutive runs of 55 and 79 helped the Frenchman reach the tape first by the score of 300 to 225.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-03-24

At Blossoms academy last night Sutton had Cassignol for an opponent and good game was the result. It was nip and tuck up into the third string, and then Sutton drew away from the Frenchman with three double figure runs, the last of which yielded 92 points. Sutton was speedy for the last half of the game. Cas- signol made things interesting with a run of 145, in which he played fine billiards, but outside of that he was not as consistent as the champion. The final score was Sutton 500, Cas- signol 405.

THE DIAMOND
DEAL ON FOR
 NEW BALL FIELD
City League Managers May Secure a Home of Their 0wn-More
 Diamond Dust.

The managers of the City Amateur league held a meeting last night
 and listened to reports from the var
 lous subcommittee on grounds and other matters pertaining to the suc-
 cess of the league. One of the sites
 Tn view for a new ball field, received
 the closest attention. It is situated
 in the eastern part of the city and
 quite distance this side of the
 Rockville grounds. There is just one obstacle to be overcome and if this can be removed then the league will nave a home where they can well come all their friends and we'll wish CTS and where the sporting public will be assured of splendid games. If this site cannot be secured the Driv- ing park will be last resort. In case the league decides to play on the later field, the ground will be graded and bleechers erected, with canvas covered top. Managers Ghent and Guilfoile were appoiEted a committee to draw up a schedule and there will be several changes in the rules, particularly as regards players, when the names are handed In by each manager. There is plenty or baseball talent scattered about the city for the coming season and all the teams will be proportioned, when the season opens.

All the local players who are in
 the city, are rounding into form rap Idly. George Lachance, who may or
 may not be in the lineup is doing stunts up around his WaterviIle mansion and already has his farm in good shape for the planting. George smiles serenely, when he hears the reports that he may be supplanted by one of the long list of colts on Manager Durant's catalogue. Sev- eral of the other state league mana gers are watching to see just what the outcome will be in the Lachance case and are ready to jump for him If they get half a chance.
 Eddie Farley is another doubtful one and like Lachance he is not wor- rying a bit as his record last year has made him a magnet toward which managers in other leagues are being drawn. Captain Fitzpatrick, Bastian and Schincel are down to the weight limit and ready for the fray. Joe Connor. who will do most of the backstop work for Dan O'Neil again this year. has quit his position in the factory and already has done his spring planting in his vegetable gar den on East Farm street. AiI are anxious and eager for the season to begin.

1T you were passing Abbott avenue
 last night and heard a mixture of German and English war whooDs, coming from the bowling and bill lard parlors located there and were surprised at these same war whoops you can rest easy to-day, when you are informed that they emanated rom Herman Schincel, the popular catcher of the Waterbury baseball team. Herman had been drafted by the Oakland team of California, but the happy son of the fatherland, re- fused to take the long trail and ar engagements have been under way for many weeks to secure his release. Word came last night that the deal could be completed and it was no wonder that Herman let himself loose with his shouts of joy. It will please the fans as we'll too for Schin- eel could scarcely be replaced as a back stop.
