waterbury, May 2b.--GeofBe Bones
first day on the New Haven baseball
clubs bench certainly had an auspic-
aous beginning here to-day when his
ball tossers forced tho locals 20 bite
the dust of the Reidville diamond 10
the grimy tuno Of q shut out Tho
score was seven runs to goose egg
and all of the visiting troupe got
slice of the praise though the names
of Phil. Corcoran, Simmons and Pleiss
deserve to stand at the top of the list.
The smiling twirler was In august
form and at no stage OF The game
could the locals solve his delivery.
Occasionally some of Harry Durants
men would stab up against his fast
ones only to have Simmons, tho visit
ing second baseman, dig them ZIP in
brilliant form.
In the third with two down and
O'Drain and Fitzpatrick on third and
second respectively, Simmons made
one OF the prettiest stops ever seen
on this diamond off Swander's sling
ing bounder close to first and retired
the side. The play deserved all the
applause 1t received. Pleiss so: three
timely singles and won the admiration
of all the local fans for these clean
bingles while Havel accepted eight
chances without a slip up. In fact
the visitors man for man played PEN
snant-winning baseball and will keep
the other leading clubs in the circuit
worried for the rest OF the summer.
George Bone evidently Instructed
his colts to take every chance on the
bases and at the getaway they piled
in four tallies. Cornell was the first
man to face oDrain, the locals star
spit-ball artist. The second ball
pitched caught him in the side and he
frotted to first. Pleiss went the limit
on the bunting game and went out
on the third strike bunting rule.
Havel sacrificed neatly and Simmons
reached first on Slngleton's error of
his grounder "Blondy" Zacher
caught one on the nose and as Swan
der let the ball get through him Zach
err went all the way round, sending
Connell and Simmons in ahead of
him. Duggan hit splitter back at
ODrain which the lanky twirler
booted. Duggan Immediately stole
second and continued to third on
Lucias wild heave to Fitzpatrick.
Hayward was the candy man with a
pretty drive to center, scoring Dug
gan. Sherwood fouled out 20 Lucia,
ending the inning
Again the second New Haven
scored. Corcoran singled and when
Fitzpatrick overthrow to first IN q
foolish attempt to get him he con-
tinued to second. Jerry Cornell made
pretty sacrifice, placing Corcoran
on the dizzy corner from where Pleiss
scored him by timely single. Sim
mons flied out to Bronkie and 2acher
went out Singleton to Lachance. In
the ninth the visitors scored their
last run. Sherwood got O free pass,
and was advanced to second on Cor
coran's sacrifice. Cornell popped one
TO Bastian. Pleiss stepped to the
rubber and just to show his mean dis
position up to o'Drain deliberately
and most unkindly raped out his
thinrd bingo, Sherwood tallying.
Havel went out Bastian to Shincel,
who had taken Lachance's place on
the initial sack. George, in the eighth,
was sent to the bench by Rorty for
objecting to q third strike called on
him. He had two and two on him
and was looking for a fast one. In
stead Corcoran sent up pretty bend
er which broke over the plate In a
manner totally unexpected. Result
three strikes and howl after which
q few threats and seat on the roost
Manager Bone stated after the game
that he was going to Hartford to-
morrow to give the capital city aggre-
cation a beating. Herbst, he stated,
would be on the slab for New Ha-
ven.
