YESTERDAYS DOUBLE HEADER

When Hartford can take but one game from the tailenders of this league, that pennant pole had better not be ordered just at present. When an old time pitcher like Me Partlin can find the alley of the would-be champions, then the pen nant flag might also be stopped fin the making. The Dowd outfit had it all arranged, as they supposed to their utmost satisfaction. IL would be easy to take two games and would thus regain the lead they lost to Springtields. Old Mac was forgotten in the arrangements. He had done the trick to Hartford the last time he faced them and the foxy head proved 1t had not lost any of its cunning yesterday. Not man crossed the plate for Hartford until the seventh inning and then the daddy of the pitching stan eased up a bit and al- lowed a few hits, which netted two runs. But that was all. not another man came within earshot of the home plate. And We were doing things ourselves in the meantime. In the third after we had filled the bases with base runners Eddie Svan- der met one of Pete Wilson's De. curves and it sailed to the deep cen ter. Over the plate came three run ners. and Swander followed them. for an error gave him a good chancs to get after his comrades. We scored one more In the sixth and then we were content and SO the score of the first game rested 5 to 2.
 In the second game Bronkie had one of his of spells in the first three innings and he got waIloped good and plenty. So good and so plentiful were the hits that four runs were secured in those first three sessions and one more came later in the game. Swanson for the visitors on the other hand had the high water sign on our batters and they went down before him like so many tenpins before a good bowler. Hits were few and far between and ve were helpless before the curves of the Hartford slsbman. The foIIOving are the scores of the two games.
 First game:
 Waterbury.

SPRINGFIELD LOST A CHANGE.

Springfield, Aug 1S.-Manager Dan O'Neil was back upon the bench yesterday but his presence wasn't of much advantage to his team for New Britain put up a superior game. The Ponies couldn't do anything with Brown until the ninth while enough hits were punched on Luby in the fifth to get a lead. The hit- ting of Almeida was the feature, he making two triples to left center. Maggert. the player that Springfield obtained from Harry Durant. made half of his teams hits. Two fast double plays by New Britain caught the crowd. Almeida also featured in the errot making. as he nearly had monopoly of the bungles. The score: R.HE.

RRIDGEPORT DID IT.

New Haven. Aug 19.-It is bad enough for a team like the locals. having many stars, to drop a game. But to lose contest to the Park City delegation with neither Jim o'Rourke. Jr, nor Red Waller play ing for them, is almost incredible to believe Jim. Sr's squad put it all over the locals from the start to the finish at the prairie yesterday and really deserved the contest The Orators put up a better game and played better baseball than the To- calls, although the contest itself was altogether uninteresfing. the locals llstless playing making it more so.

cAsEY,s GREAT SHOOTING.
Delaware Riheman Breaks All Rec ords in Leech and Wimbledon.

Camp Perry, Ohio, Aug. 19,-No such long range craftsmanship has probably ever been seen at the Ma a tional Rife .association's tourna- ment as the work yesterday of Cap tain K. K.ssy. Casey of Delaware. who broke all records in the Leech cup and the Wimbledon cup match es. winning the latter By p97lout of ! 100 and the former by the score of 104 out of l05. "lS'@ @.6 4 Casey, who was for several years on the New York state team, has been on the Palma team twice, and this year was on the Olympic team. He first attracted national attention at Sea Girt in 1902, when he won the Wimbledon. He took the match last year at SS. 4e Second honors in, the Leech match were captured by Private H. Miner yini of the Fourth New Jersey, who scored 9S. Captain S.Ws Wise of Massachusetts, whose 100 had been the. Leech record for two years. was third, at 9S, and Sergeant Clark of the U. s. Marine corp. fourth, at sgS. The match was shot under nearly ideal conditions.
 To make up the half day lost Monday the Leech anu Wimbledon matches were combined. the first seven of the 1000 yard scores counting as the. Leech record. This z method of expediting the tournament did not give universal satisfaction. Major Robbins, captain of the Dis trict teamy withdrew his entire team from the Leech match on the ground that he was not getting the practice he had paid entry fees for. The 12 a Leech contestants who landed in the money scored as follows, Casey mak- 1. ing his only four on his first shot;

THE EEL BREAKS RECORD.
Faces in 2:O21s at, Opening of Grand
 Circuit in Poughkeepsie.


 Poughkeepsie, Aug 19.-The weather was fine for the opening of the Grand Circuit races here yester- day and the attendance was good. The track at the Hudson River Drit ing park was very fast.
 The Eel lowered his own record and established new track record and new record for the fastest mile in a race in , the Grand Circuit by taking the. first heat of the 2:16 pacing event in 2:02h. He was challenged in this mile all the way around by George Gano. There was pretty contest from wire to wire, in which the quarters were reeled of with speed and evenness. the time, 0:2s r 0:59h. 1:31 h, 2:02h, of- fering a. welcome and .exhilarating surprise as the race progressed The Eel and George Gano were on even terms until well down on tha last stretch, when the terrific pace set by The Eel caused Gano, to tire. The Eel drew away and slowed up perceptibly as he passed under the wire winner by three lengths. Nc Ewen and the handsome gray over which he held the reins were both cheered to, the echo. ,, Each appear ance of The Eel was thereafter the signal for more cheers.
 Geers started in three races yester- day. but won only one. He took the 2:16 trot with Loyal Jack Leyburn clearly showed his superiority in the 2:09s trot. He was unlucky in the first heat on account of going to q break on the first turn. Locust Jack and Margaret o. both beat him |, the wire this time, but Leyburn won the second and third heats in hard < drives down the last stretch. What ever chances Sterling Mckinney had in this race he lost by breaking at critical times The summaries:

GRATTAN GRANGE.

Grattan Grange met in regular
session Thursday evening, May rs,
with about seventy-fve in attend
ance. An interesting business session
was enjoyed and after short recess
the Worthy Lecturer conducted the
following program: The choir sang
Memorial soug after which Dot
jerks gave a recitation, this being
well rendered and very appropriate,
Mr.. Slayton, the only soldier who is
now a member of the Grange, gave
us the story of his first battle, all
listened attentively to this interest
ing sketch of actual service. Mrs,
Godfrey sang very pretty solo and
Alice Slayton responded to recita-
ton, "Cover Them Over" both of
these numbers received appreciative
applause. The Rev. A. N. Sturgis
gave a fine address and the many
good ideas he mentioned can not
help but make patriotism swell in the
hearts of each and all A rising vote
of thanks was rendered him for his
able address. Mrs. o. l. Watkins
gave the Grange Memorial, in part;
she said: "The object of this Memo
rial service this evening is to pay a
loving tribute to the memory of dear
friends who have passed to the other
shore, Grattan Grange now has only
ten charter members living, out of
the thirty when our Grange was
organized thirty-fve years ago, this
to me brings much sadness of heart,
only a few more years, and our last
charter member will-be gone from US
forever, but we pray you, be true to
the principles af our fraternal order,
forsake not the old land marks of the
forefathers of the Grange and all
will be well. AS we have said before
we feel sad to have to part with our
friends and loved ones for many. and
many have been the times the Reaper
of Death has invaded our fraternal
circle and removed our esteemed
brother or sister of our order. How
many we cannot say, but we knew
them all and loved them well. The
three last called to the beautiful
Grange above, were Sister Margaret
Bookey; Brother and Sister Harry
and Gertrude Matice. We cherish In
our hearts a fond memory of our de-
ceased sisters and brothers of the
Grange. Farewell" The choir clos
ed the program by singing; "Sleep
on and Rest"
After the services closed all retired
to the banquet hall where refresh
ments we're served. Several members
from Belding and other guests we're
in attendance.
At our next meeting the Sisters
will take the chairs and give the
entire entertainment for the whole
evening. All come and enjoy this
change of program and assist in
preparing for the Floral Meeting in
four weeks.
