the side lines. Here entered the protest.
 The game itself dragged along wearily until Louis Lepine drove in the winning run in the last inning. Bridgeport tried three pitchers, the last one of the trio. being our old friend Waller. Brown lasted less than four innings and Jerry Nops, who followed was batted to the woods in less than two. Waller did good work up to the last inning, where he was found for enough to lose the game. Rorty as the butt of all kinds of ridicule and abuse again at this game and one of his decisions, where he called Fitzpat- rick out at the home plate was so glaringly bad, that the fans could not restrain saying some unkind things. Campbell distinguished himself in two ways, by batting the ball over the fence for a clean home run and by making five of the bum nest misplays ever seen on the field. Campbell has gone to his home in New York state, because of sisters illness and may never return. The score:

 AT LAST SOILED
The Hills Get Their First Beating In the City League-All
 Other Games.

At last the ice has been broken and the Hills given dip, where SO often they have ducked their op- ponents. The St Josephs were the lads who tipped off in advance that they were going to break that win ming streak of the Washington Hills in the City League race and they did 1t nicely. It was all caused through the great twirling of young Finn. In the first inning he had not the con trol of the ball that would win vic- tories and the Hills took a big lead. After that first session, however, he settled down and there was nothing to it but the temperance boys. The latter had their batting eyes with them, they had brought them down from Torrington at the big field day on Saturday and they went after Eddie Carmody in grand style and hammered out the victory that they had predicted. The fielding of Cos tello of the St Josephs out in cen ter garden was one of the great fea- lures of the game, aside from the twirling of Finn. The lineup and score:
