THE DIAMOND
ON IN
 WATER IS FINE Waterbury Dropped Two Games at Hartford All the Other Results.

Hartford, Sept 11.-Before ne left for his home on Wednesday evening, Manager Hanna predicted that Me Partlin would take game from Hartford yesterday. The prediction may have been father to wish for when man says he thinks team is going to beat Hartford he usually wants them beaten. It was known that Manager Harold R. Durant would do everything in his power to defeat the Hartfords but he did not have muchs of chance with the ag- gregation that was brought here yes terday. -s -se-.r
 Waterbury had a pitcher on third base a pitcher in center field and an outfielder behind the bat. AS Me-. Partlin had won all of his games against Hartford this season, he was used in the first game and was oppos- ed to Hack Schuman, who appeared in a new role. that of heavy hitter. Heretofore, Schuman raised laugh whenever he went to bat Yesterday he not only outpitched McPartlin but
 practically won the game by a ter rife smash that netted him three bases and drove in two runs. He singled the next time up and he had the best batting average of the game. If Hack can keep this thing up, they will be keeping him on the bench in reserve for pinch hitter in the ninth.
 When Hogan Yancey slid to third
 base just before he scored the run that made the tie in the Bridgeport game he bruised his hand and it was so swollen yesterday that he left the first game after the fourth inning, O'Leary joking his place. The catcher made three good catches in center in the second game. In the first game yesterday Hartford took the lead in the fourth inning. Fallon was given his base, he went down on Gardner's sacrifice and after Connery had pop ped up an infield fly Moves sent out a hard one that scored Fallon. Water
 bury tied the score in the first half of the fifth. Bronkie reached first on
 an error by Gardner, took second on
 Eastman's sacrifice and scored on a hit by Campion. That was Water
 bury's only run+in the two games. Hartford ran away with the game in it's half of the fifth. O'Leary struck out, Justice walked, Casey sim gled and both came in on drive to right field by Schuman for three
 bases Cobb was given his base and | single by Fallon scored Schuman.
 The big pitcher was given a hand
 when he crossed the plate and the novelty was greatly appreciated by the fans. Hartford added one to it's score in the eighth. Errors by Cam pion and Swander and a hit by Jus tice sent O'Leary around the bases. Pete Wilson had some trouble in joining the elbows of a stovepipe in the morning and all model husband
 men know just how exasperating this work isr Just when Pete thought. one elbow would fit into another and | he put dent in with a hammer to lmake sure, trouble would crop out in another place. Pete has got every
 thing all to rights in his new house
 except the stovepipe and as this put him up in the air, so to speak, he de- cided to take 1t out ion Waterbury
 The visiting players were at loss to
 know what possessed Pete when they
 saw him striking out the batsmen and | fooling them on his famous drop that breaks so quick that often the umpire
 Is fooled. When the story went around | that Pete wanted his revenge from Waterbury because of the stovepipe
 the Waterbury men knew that they | did not have a chance to win. Pete pitched such grand ball that Manager | Dowd said he hoped that Pete would try to put up pipe every day that | he pitched
 Three little hits were all that Wa terbury could muster from the south paw wonder Hartford scored two
 runs, getting one run at the gateway. Cobb was the main squeeze with the | bat in this game as he connected for
 single and two doubles. He started the game with single, went to sec
 ond son Fallon's sacrifice, took third
 on 'Gardner's hit and scored when Connery was thrown out at first.
 Cobb started the third with a double, went to third on Fallons sacrifice
 but was nipped at the plate when he ! tried to score on Gardner's fly to left. The last run came in the fifth. Casey singled, stole second, went to third on | Wilson's sacrifice and scored on a
 two-bagger by Cobb.
 After Waterbury has its raps in the eighth, Umpire Sternberg called the
 game on account of darkness. While
 Waterbury was at bat Yancey held
 a lighted match aloft as hint to the
 umpire that it was dangerous for the
 men to play in such poor light. Stern
 berg did good work in both games and
 1t is unfortunate that he was not se-
 cured at the beginning of the season.
 There was quite distinguished gath
 ering of republicans at the game, in-
 cluding Lieutenant Governor Lake.
