New Haven lost an interesting game at the Rock yesterday afternoon to Springfield by the score of 4-3 His tory repeated itself again for on five separate occasions the locals could have scored a run had the men been able to send out a timely bingo. In the first, second, fifth. sixth and seventh innings men were left on second or third when a single would have settled the result The locals however played together well and there was not the glaring de- fects in team play which have been noticed in the past. Lefty Wilhelm was wild and not as effective as he generally has proved to be against ONeil's men. Powell too was unsteady but as a rule served up puzzling ball that Bones troupe had difficulty in landing safely. Charlie Kennedy had trouble throughout the contest and in the eighth apparently made a bad blunder in calling Zacher out at first. His decisions on balls and strikes were continually disputed and all in all he had troubles known only to an umpire, The Ponies scored twice fin the fourth although the looked dangerous in ev- cry inning up to this period being retir- ed on couple of fast double plays and some fast fielding stunts by tho men in back of Wilhelm, In the fourth Connor and Standard hit safely and were advanced on a wild heave by Wilhelm to Lachance. Luby walked and Waite scored two men by Q timely swat. Yale advanced Luby and Waite by his sacrifice. McAndrews was hit but Burns and Powell were easy outs. In the sixth after two men were down, Burns was passed and Powell singled to right. Connel allowed the sphere to get past him and Burns easily tailed The locals had a great chapce to score in their half of this inning after Con- nell had flied out to Luby. Pleiss got q free ticket and Zacher hit fly in back of first that Standard booted. sher- wood and Havel could not do anything and the session ended without run. Clyde Waters was the whole show In the seventh which Connor opened with a two-base hit Standard flied to Zach- CT. On waters low throw to catch Connor off second the runner reached third. Luby was hit and reached sec ond as on a quick return of Waters peg Simmons got Connor at the plate. Waite walked but was thrown out at- tempting to steal second by Waters. In New Haven's half Simmons singled and reached second on Luby's error of hie hit. Lachance and Waters were dis posed of but Wilhelm got drive tc center which Waite misjudged and halted at third. Had he not been held there by Bill Carrick 1t is probable that he could have easily come home Connell walked and stole second but Pleiss famed and chance to tie the score had gone.
 Tn the eighth with two down Have was passed and scored on a drive for three bases by Simmons. McAndrews held Simmons at third by Umpire Ken. nedy refusing to give him an extra base. Lachance tied the score by C timely hit Waters popped to Connor The visitors won the game In the nlntf when Pitcher Powell was sent to first on four bad ones. Rising flied to VII. helm, Connor reached first on Sher' woods error and both were advanced on Wilhelm's wild pitch. Carrick was lere substituted in the box stankart hit to Simmons who threw a trine low to the plate and Powell was safe. Luby end Waite were easy outs and tht game was thus won as Herbst wht batted for Carrick, Connell and Plels' were unable to get as far as the inltia sack In the local last half The sum mary.
