Hartford, June 30.--Every baseball
enthusiast in the country has heard
OF the proverbial Casey who. when he
had chance to win for the mythical
Midwife nine. made n dismal failure
OF 1t by striking out. Probably there
are millions of fans within the length
and breadth of the land who have
never heard about Hartford's Casey,
but in this city tonight they are all
talking about him for IL was his drive
for three bases, at the end of the
ninth that sent New Haven down to
defeat by the score OF 40. Up to
this time the two teams had been
fighting II out with the score tied at
three all. Hogan Yancey opened the
inning by flying out. but Justice
cracked out a safe one. With the
local back stop at the plate Phil Cor
coran sent up beautiful curved ball
which broke squarely over the rubber
and Casey met 1t squarely, sending
the sphere far out past Zacher In
right center and the game was over
as Justice easily tailed
1t was a remarkably close and in
teresting game and despite the fact
that the locals got ten safe swats off
Corcoran save In two innings could
they bunch them and the veteran twir-
Ter got out Of some bad holes by his
clever pitching ability. His support
was for the most part of gilt order

costly.
Schuman. who worked for the To-
calls, was at his best and to him must
be given the greatest credit for to-
days victory. New Haven got but
four scattered hits and after the
fourth Ginning was over never had a
chance so puzzling was his delivery.
He famed no less than eleven New
Haven men. At the bat, however, he
was Joke and famed every time up
when any sort OF hit would have re-
suited In run. Sherwood and La
chance were the visitors stars IN the
helawhile Westerberg atoned for his
Dne' misplay by robbing O'Leary of a
single in the fifth with a runner on
third.

struck Lachance In the wrist. Zacher
lined the ball to Yancey who made
difficult catch. Sherwood walked
and both runners were advanced a
base by Schumans wild pitch. Clyde
