Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-05-30
BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Joseph Smith was one of the aides in the parade to-day and looked
 rather "natty" on the charger.
 Miss Louise Wheeler of Hart ford was the guest of friends in
 Brooklyn to-day.
 Superintendent Kennedy of the
 water department who resides on
 North Leonard street was right at home yesterday at the branch and
 the manner in which he explained ey-
 erything to the officials showed that
 he has the water question down to a fine point.
 Two teams composed of letter carriers had it out on the west end lots yesterday and the regular team won by the score of to 4. Several of last years "star" men were un- conditionally released by the mana ger and feeling trifle ruff1ed they organized another team. James Kelly is manager of the second team while Carrier Kiersted is captain. They had it on the regulars until the last inning when Larry Fox and his followers came in and knocked out four runs.
 Mary Brunaitis, aged z, who lives in the block at the corner of Bank and Porter streets, was knocked down by horse yesterday on Bank street, and although the wheels of the carriage seemed to pass over the child's body she was not seriously hurt. The child was playing in the street during the noon hour when the carriage came along. The little girl ran almost directly into the horse and before the driver could pull out the child was knocked down. How she escaped serious injuries is mystery. The number of children playing around the corner of Bank and Por- ter streets of late has been unusually large and some narrow escapes have taken place there.
 -Lashed to the mast and strug- gling for life savers the policemen g baseball team barely escaped Il bath in the kalsomine tub yesterday after noon when they played their first game of the season against that speedy aggregation known as the Brooklyn Business men. Not until the eighth inning were the coppers able to send a man around the cir cult and the run was more gift than anything else. But what were the sluggers from across the bridge doing while the bluecoats were amassing the goose eggs? They lambasted that old horsehide for more than a dozen fine bingles and before they had finished they had eight big runs to their credit. Why, after the first in- ming there was such odds on the Brooklynites that to win a can of salmon you would have to bet bar rel of flour. The game was not near ly as exciting as that of year ago, for yesterday Sam Walsh, manager of the patrolmen, stayed on the ground nearly all the time and did not grab the balloon when 1t went up. The game was so one-sided there was no need of abusing the umpire, conse- Quently Jamie" Madden and "Honk" Horan held their tempers and did not trouble the man with the indicator. Reece started in to pitch for the finest but lasted only few innings was the eagle eye batsmen from the banks of the Naugatuck swatted the 7all to their hearts content. After Reece had been canned, one by the name of Hayes was pressed into service. He might also have been chased to tin- land only the Brooklynites were a trifie merciful. Tobin who was on the mound for Smiths nine, had a varied assortment and 1t was niS Ity amusing to watch the policemen .ry- ing to connect. During the latter part of the game they saemed to be pleased when they made even a foul. The policemen's team is going like a three-legged horse just at present and many were surprised that Manager Smith agreed to give them another game. But he has. It will be played next week-the only question is how large will the score be.
