New Britain, CONN.,, June lU'-IHe
tailenders with their star twirler on
the slab snatched game away from
New Haven at Electric field this af-
ternoon by the score Of 9-5, Both teams
played poorly and save for Simmons
brilliant stick work the game was un-
interesting from start to finish Ed
Nolte, who pitched for the visitors, did
we'll enough save In the third when the
locals found him for single two dou-
bles and a three-bagger with a total
OF four runs Had his support been
good New Haven might have won out,
for after this period he was a mystery
to the New Britain batters. Padron
was In good form and in the last in
ming famed the three men who faced
him. McEnroe played his last game for
the locals and performed well. He will
be released and Almelda, who arrived
today from Cuba, will hold down the
dizzy corner. McEnroe's arm is in poor
shape and his wild pegs to first have
been responsible for good many OF
the locals defeats, but the fans tonight
are all asking that he be kept here.
Today's scoring was accomplished in
the following way; AT the getaway
Connel walked and stole second. Pless
and Havel were retired, but George
Simmons cracked out n three-bagger
against the left field fence. Kelly made
q plucky attempt to make a wonderful
catch and because the sphere touched
his finger tips the local scribes chalked
up an error for the local guardian of
left field and refused to credit Simmons
with hit 0 Mores, o Temporal Zach
er went out, Waterman to Bunyan The
locals went one better In their half
Waterman flied to Pleiss. McCabe
walked and Kelly popped to Sherwood.
With two down Finn drove the ball
over the left field fence for homer,
sending McCabe In ahead of him
Burns singled, but Bunyan ended the
inning by going out to Nolte.
In the third McCabe got a two-bag-
ger and went to third on Kellys sac
rifice Finn flied to Zacher, McCabe
scoring ahead of the throw to get him
at the plate. Burns got another single
and scored on John Bunyan's two-b bag
ger. McEnroe banged the ball to the
left field fence for three bases. Bunyan
tallying. Rufange hit TO Havel, who
booted It, McEnroe crossing the rub
Der. Padron ended the session by fly
Ing out to Zacher
In the following inning Simmons got
his customary bang for two bases,
stole third and came home on Sher-
woods timely bingo.
The visitors added another run In the
sixth. After Havel famed, Simmons
drew a pass, reached second on Water
mans error and came romping home
when the local shortstop again booted
the sphere on Sherwood's bounder.
The following inning after two men
were out, McCloud lost his eyesight
and allowed Finn to trot to first after
..Nolte had fairly struck him out. Burns
single placed him at Sherwood's sta
ton from where he scored on Bunyan's
hit. At the opening of the eighth Ha-
vel hit eafely and scored when big
George Simmons got his second drive
for three bases against the boards In
kellys garden. He came home on Pa
dron's wild pitch moment later;
Zacher walked and It looked as though
the visitors would make matters inter-
esting. Duggan filed to Waterman but
Sherwood beat out an inf1ed hit. Wa
tiers famed and Rufange doubled
zacher In his attempt to steal third
ending the rally.
The locals put the game in their wa
ter pail in their half Of this inning.
Rufange reached second on Havels
overthrow to Duggan. Padron hit
safely scoring Rufange and stole sec
ond, Waterman went out Sherwood tc
Duggan, McCabe singled and Padror
trotted In with the last run scored. A
neat double play by Havel, Slmmont
and Duggan retired the locals. In New
Ravens half of the final inning Herbst
went to bat and was called out on ar
absurd third strike. The next two bat
ters were retired In a like manner anc
the handful Of people present filed out
of the grounds and hustled for theii
evening meal. Simmons batting was
easily the feature Of poor exhibition
