BLUECOATS WIN AGAIN.
Police Team Captures Second Game
 With Scrlbes in Easy Manner.

Yesterday afternoon at Yale field the bluecoats again showed the scrbes how 10 play baseball and ad- mnistered rather a humiiatIng de- feat. The official scorer had his troubles to keep track of the hits and errors and before the lucky seventh had come around he was among the missing Rumor had 1t that the score was 22 to G. and If this is not correct 1t is safe to assert that lt was something like 1t. Without question the feature of the game was the brill liant all round work of Officer Riley, Entering the contest in the sixth he was tower of strength in the mid dle garden, and after banging out q stinging single to left he made the most daring steal of the day to sec- ond base. Not content with this he tempted the scrbes' pitcher again and In a mad endeavor to catch him nap ping the spectators were brought to their feet by his second successful steal for a base. Had he fully recov- cred his breath it's q good bet he would have stolen home but the fates gummed the game Seriously speak ing, however. the police department has got first rate ball club, and New Haveners can look forward to their bringing home the championship The schedule of games with the police of other cities In the state will be an nounced in the near future and some good baseball Is in store for the city officials

For five rounds at the Navarro A. c. last night Tommy. Murphy chased Jack Goodman all around the ring, and try as he would he could not force the las ter to a mixup that would last more than two punches. It was not until the sixth round that Goodman finally decided to put up some sembance of a fight and then the only thing that probably saved him from a knockout was the bell He was holding on when the gong sounded. Throughout the first quntet of sessions, Goodman used the same style. He would try to send over either right or left from long range and then take up the training or cross country running again. with Murphy trying his best 10 land a punch on the sprint.
 On more than one occasion Tommy did land, too. and then Goodman moved faster than ever. The bout was dis appointment, for in only one round was there any real fighting. That was in the sixth. Then when Goodman did es- say 10 stand still and exchange blow for blow with Murphy, Tommy hit him al- most at will. He landed on the body and then on the head. The expresso on Goodman's'face showed that he was

 sons Tomorrow Afternoon.

The first amateur dry goods baseball game of the season will be played to- morrow afternoon on the Westville park grounds, Westville, between the Maley and Howe & Stetson hines, and as both sides are reported to have strong hines 1t should be a most inter esting match. The Malley nine won a very closely contested game on the Fourth of July with the strong Brown- Thomson team at Hartford, and the Howe & Stetson boys have not only been practicing very diligently, but have won a couple of games recently with a strons local team. tAs these are the only two houses at present repre- senting local dry goods baseball, the game will certainly be one for blood. The Westville park grounds, which have been granted to the Edward Nal lev Co., Baseball association for all Friday afternoons in July and August with the exception of July 24th, are very easy to get at very well kept and are situated in charming surroundings just at the foot of West Rock, They can be reached by Westville car in IS minutes from Church and Chapel streets The lineup for the Howe X Stetson nine: Finn, catcher; Fuller, pitcher SeeeN, first base; Boucher, shortstop; Sullivan, second base; Red mond, third base; Lynch, left field, FL fer, center field Hayes, right field.
