THE DIAMOND
BUT TWO GAMES
 WERE IN SIGHT
New Britain Defeated By New Haven aud HoIyoke Downed
 By Meridsn.

New Britain May 9.-Three home runs was the feature of the ball game at Elec) Tie field yesterday af- ternoon betW en New Haven and New Britain. The visitors knocked out two of tH m and won the game. But while the local team was behind in numbers, it made the prettiest or the circle runs. Zacher had made the two for New Haven when Finn stepped up to the plate in the fourth. Teddy never whacked the railroads with half the force that the stout center fielder touched up the leath- CT. It sailed beautifully up in the air and when it finally took the down. ward plunge 1t landed over the cen ter field fence. It was the spectacu- lar play of the game and entitled the batter to one of Besse-Lelands' best hats, standing offer for the fellow who could do the trick.
 Tha weather was not very pro pitious for the game and the crowd was in consequence small. The town is fast getting the base ball fever and it is expected that game will be played Sunday. If the field was in the city limits the prosecuting at torney, who shut up the Sunday evening moving picture shows last winter, wouldn't allow it, but the field is in the town of Plainville.
 The visitors opened the game at the bat and were retired without scoring. Waterman headed the bat ting list for the locals, as usual. He was put out at first. Connaughton made hit and McCabe got first on error of Pleiss. Marsans was good for hit and .Connaughton scored when McCabe was forced. Burns went out on a fly to second baseman.
 The Elm Trees then had chance and swung their branches to such good effect that they scored twice. Simmons went out on fly, but Zacher came next and made the first of his home runs. Kane was thrown out at first, Sherwood made hit and was advanced to second by error of Marsans. Waters made a hit and scored Sherwood. Corcoran hit, but Cornell went out on fly to McCabe.
 The Hardware Boys proved easy marks to New Haven curves and went out in quick order. In the third the visitors again got the bead on the pitcher. Pliess went out on fly to McCabe, but Havel hit and was advanced by hit of Simmons. Simmons stole second and then Zacher came up again and made a home run. It was a great inning for the visitors. . .--. -
 New Britain again failed to score and New Haven followed suit In the fourth the home players recoy- cred their nerve and came out with two to the good. Marsans got first on an error. Then Finn knocked his home run and won his hat. Burns hit to center field. Bunyan knocked to short and Burns was put out at second and Bunyan at first, double to the credit of the visitors, Page went out.
 In the fifth Simmons made a hit and gained second on a poor throw by Marsans. Zacher went out on fly to Marsans. Simmons got third on throw of Marsans and Kane saeri- feed to Burns and Simmons scored. The score:

COLLEGE SCORES.
Results of the Games Played By the
 Various Teams.

Worcester, May 9.-The Carlisle Indians met Holy Cross in athletics for the first time yesterday after noon and the noble red men suf- fered the palefaces to take their scalp in a 6 to 0 game on a wet field. Coach Carney sent Foley on the slab and the youngster certainly made good. He showed fine as- sortment of curves, and his dropball easily fooled the Redskins. But three hits were made of his deliv- cry, one of these a scratch, and he famed eight men. However, he showed traces of wildness, passing four men and hitting two. but Lar kin kept him steady in pinches, and the gifts counted for nothing. Gar lon, the Indian twirler, also pitched fine ball. considering his support. which was very ragged at times, due perhaps to the slippery ball. Holy Gross secured five clean drives and two scatches of his delivery. but nearly all these came in the first and seventh innings, and. coupled with the Indians misplays. drove in the six tallies. The score: R.H.E. Holy Cross .30OO00 '-6 : O Carlisle ..OOOO0000 % 3 6
