 Hartford, June 5,--And 1t came to pass that four pilgrims in tho City of Elms were speeding in from the famous Savin Rock bound for the Union station when of sudden an ex- ceeding fair young swain spying a horse shoe lying on the hard stony ground cried out in accents loud Genial conductor stop the car, for zee upon yon cobble stones an emblem of great value to nine knights of the diamond. I prithee tell your husky motorman to save his speed and great shall be his reward" According to the legend as told tonight In this town the spokesman was none other than George Simmons, who is admit tedly the handsomest ball player in the state circuit It appears that he club were bound for the 1 o'clock express for this city and chanoing to see a horseshoe directly opposite a load of hay had the car stopped and placed the good luck sign in their bat bag Be this a yarn or no the fact remains that the New Haven club. with the invincible Corcoran on the slab again, applied a coat of white wash on the locals in another great overtime game. This time they scored twice and their premier twirler was hit safely but five times in the twelve Innings of play. Corcoran this after noon broke all previous pitching rec this session he had pitched four con Becutive games without a run being scored against him. In fact the worlds record for this Is held by Faulkner, who three years ago in Will mington pitched fifty-four innings be- fore score was made. Whether Corcoran breaks the worlds record is not the main point. Let 1t be said right here that he deserves all the good things which come to a star ball player. He came here determined to do his best and returned to New Ha ven at night well satisfied with his days work A man who has worked lOI Witliout t uii h'ibb registered by the opposing teams certainly deserves an increase in sal ary, and there Is little doubt but that the visiting management will get busy. Another noteworthy fact is that the local club has not tailed once when he has been in the box. On May In New Haven he relieved Long in the fifth and for the rest of the game held the locals without run. Thus he has offlciated in his capacity thirty one innings against the present league leaders and blanked them in brilliant form. But there were other stars in the days game.
