 Other Results.

The Springfield Republican hand ed out the following goods this morning about that game yesterday:
 It took but few brief moments to get Waterbury properly placed at the Hampden park shirt waist party yesterday afternoon. Then it was simply case of roasting the down. trodden on the burning sands, show ing 'em up and making them hustle for things they didn't get. We had the blacklegs fricasseed in one in- ming. Our valiant stickers got in their vigorous work with two down in the opener, and what they did here took the gimp out of Water- bury, and also out of the game. With that inning over there was no more of a contest, the visitors playing very bashful second fiddle. One of their number, and only one, got as far as second base, and through the slow fielding of Brother Rising man. aged to get In on hit without pro- test. Subsequent events show this run was a gift. Springfield did not hit up a lively jig after the breezy breakaway, but if it had there might have been heat prostratlons in run ming the bases, and also in chasing the smitten ball. , It was our game on the jump, to l..
 One of the ruling powers of the day was Mclean, our well built pitching addition. The blacklegs got but two hits off him, both coming in l the third, but in the other innings he had them gasping. In only three | innings could the visitors get more l than a delegation of three to the bat, so elusive was MT Mclean and so snappy was his support. Two double plays helped, and of course there was negative aid in the fight 1 less article put up by the invaders. The latter were in no shape to cause any crowding, and could not steam up enough to cause our anxious ones | to let out their flashiest. The result was monotonous programme, never any doubt except as to the time. Boomboomerinas by the two Will Hams, Yale and Luby, and the slash ing hitting of P. Rising put some life in the programme. Yale lambasted for double and a triple, and the more bulky William for a rip-roaring ,three-bagger. Rising's contribution was a pair of brisk singles, one the l real old timely kind.
 I McAndrews had flied out and Con- nor had been picked off the line try ing to swipe second after getting a pass, when the formal start came. Yale slugged himself to second and Standard was passed. Rising, one of the timeliest of smackers, drove to left field. Yale scoring and Stankard taking third. Pop" stole second Then our champion heavy weight hitter and sprinter banged terrifically for three bases, clearing all before him. Waite flied out, but the three runs took the Sind out of the opposition There was nothing doing from the other side until BronlSie stole second and romped home on Fitzpatrick's hit to left center. Burns scooped liner neat. ly and communicated with first base for another out.
 After this Mclean was never troubled with men on bases, and in the last six innings but three balls all easy flies, were rapped to the out field. Burns made corking stoT of Nichols's liner in the ninth, the hardest Diff Waterbury got. Spring field did very little work for its fourth run, scored in the third. Yale was hit with one out. Then he stole Standard was passed and the double steal was worked. The throw tC Fitzpatrick was low, but he used III 60 much time in getting after the ball that Yale stallied. Rising grounded out. Standard taking third Luby was passed Bill" shifted of first, but Standard was slow in nov ing. The ball was relayed along |, the first and third base lines, Mur phy finally dropping it, allowing Standard to regain third and Lubl to reach second. But after all thu commotion. Waite struck out. Thre, times later Springfield had thirt base. but could get no more. Yal' tripled in the fourth with one out but was left. A catch of foul fl! McAndrews up against the bleacher, fence was a feature.
