New Britain, Aug 25-New Britain
1t appears Is an unknown and forgot
ten spot in the Connecticut state league
at least to the umpires. They don't care
probably to present their physlogno-
mics in that town on account of fire.
quent uprIslngs among the multitude
attending the games or the fault Of
their non-appearance may be traced to
the supervisor OF umpires, whose duty
1t Is to assign the umpires to the va
rious towns. Surely sending two um-
pires to Hartford and none to New
Britain is certainly putting a damper
on the sport at that small enthusiastic
town. Tyler. an old gentleman, who in
his younger days had been an imp. in
the state league, has volunteered to
officiate and has been holding the indi-
Gator In the absence of the regular
jumps. Tyler has been progressing fine
ly but Is unable to give the same thor
ough satisfaction that younger and
more lively official would give, He is
unable to run about and follow up
plays on account of his advanced age,
and remains behind the pitcher
throughout the game This led to a
decision against the locals today when
the ball was batted fair over first bag,
and his position did not give him a fair
view of II.
In the first inning when the visitors
were beginning the contest with ven
geance by walloping the pill all over
the lot, and when Jerry Council was
basking in the sun on third sack, where
he had arrived after safe swat and
Big Andy Herbst's two-b Dagger, Tyler
handed a raw deal TO George Bones
men. "Huck" Connell was laid up on
third with injuries sustained by his ap-
.parel. He shouted for time and when
, he received It from the Jump. he with
the help OF few Of Hanna's n1instrels
began TO arrange his toilette. After he
finished the ump shouted play. when
to his surprise as well as the fans, he
was tagged off the base by the third
saclser, Waterman. who had hidden the
ball in his glove throughout the rer-
,formance. In vain did the visitors pro-
test against this act. claiming that the
pitcher did not enter the box, nor hold
THE ball after play was called.
In the, ninth. inning, when Andy
.'Herbst fouled the third strike. Tyler
leaid he did not hearit and almost an
other OF the Ne- Britain riots ensued.
Capt. zacher protested and when he
spoke to the umpire, that individual
tripped and dropped In his tracks. Ell
mer Immediately attempted to assist
him to his feet, when the fans swarm
ed out upon the diamond The quick
work of the local players, easily turned
this crowd away and the game contin-
ued the locals winning over the Elm
City contingent by the score Of to 2.
The New Haveners were completely
outclassed In their playing by the To-
calls, who played errorless ball Al
though Bones men made brilliant
start with the willow getting four hits
In the first session and Herbst scor-
Ing on Reischman's single, still they
were let behind at the finish Murray
considerably helped the locals In his
endeavcr. to establish passed ball
record, when he let two more slide past
him, which let in tally for Hanna's
Cubans.
Cabrera was the hero Of the day for
the Minstrels. Cabbage's home run in
the fourth session with a man on Sec
ond put his team mates on the big end
to which they hung throughout the
contest. End man Cabbage is still
playing a remarkable game at short,
figuring double play and accepting all
kinds Of swats without slip Water
man, who Is recovering from a spiked
foot played the dizzy corner and play
ed It we'll McCabe who returned to
the game today after being suspended,
received we'll deserved applause and
kept up his previous good record with
the stick by lining out two bingoes
Capt. Zacher OF the visitors as usual
made "a pretty running catch in the
first session when he temporarily saw
ed the locals from getting the lead by
pulling down swat Just behind sec.
: 'ond base with local player lowering
about second He scored the second
and last run for the visitors In the sew
enth after getting one, his two singles.
Blondy took second on Reischman's
out and scored on Havel's neat swat to
left field .
Paige lost his third successive game
since his arrival and allowed six well
punched hits which coupled to his four
walking tickets, figured greatly In the
visitors defeat. The score:
