THE DIAMOND

 CAME TOO FAST
New Haven Landed on Rogers in Timely Sections Al Other
 Results.

The following account of the game in New Haven yesterday was written by H. M. Robinson of the New Haven Palladium:
 In the fourth inning, in one of the best played games seen at Savin Rock this season, Daly's boys Tapped their White Wings" and flew away with the game. Score. T to 3. And Waterbury was the losing aggrega- tion There was nothing to mar the beauty of the contest save Clans, y who hooted and yelled in front of the right field bleachers. Now that man "Clams' has become nuis- ance. He is not witty, neither does he add any interest to the game. The management of the team would con- fer a favor on many patrons of the game if he would just take Clans out into the lot somewhere and bury him for the remainder of the base ball season. -
 Will somebody please hand Philip Corcoran a gold headed cane? Yesterday afternoon with the flush of more or less. lusty manhood on his brow, he handed it right up to the league leaders and the visitors fell dead before his mighty attempts. Phil had the curves of the chorus lady and although eight hits were registered they were so scattered that the volcanic force of them was lost. It's mighty hard to keep some of Dalys new men off the ball. In truth, they slammed it hard and of ten in spite of Rogers attempt to keep them away.
 There was clear sailing for both crews until the fourth inning when the White Wings bounced on their prey and by, terrible heavy hitting three runners crossed the plate. From then on We added few more scores just to put the game on ice: And there were features to the game. In the fourth, big Mir Simmons laced the ball over the left field fence with Havel on base. Swander, Wa terburys shining light in the out field, caught a fly and assisted in q double play which called for ap- plause. Jerry Cornell, the popular all around player, was nailed in the back of the head with the ball at second base. Jerry dropped dead to the world. The old bucket was brought into play and soon Jerry smiled. All was well. The rooters rooted and the bleachers howled and waxed exceeding glad.
 .The Waterbury boys, who were yesterday hanging to the top round by the eye lashes, played good ball. They got their three runs in the sixth inning. Jerry Councils wild throw in that inning was responsi- ble for letting in two of the runs.
 Double plays were nothing yes terday afternoon. They came easy. Why in the very first round of the contest both Waterbury and New Haven ripped off double plays like rolling of a log. Then our visitors tore off a couple more before the curtain went down. But the main feature of the afternoons pro- gramme was not billed. No one knew beforehand that Phil Corcoran had planned to make three scorch- ing hits. Phil never told a soul and even Manager Lush denied having known anything about what Phil in- tended to do. But Phil was there with the wagon tongue and at four times up tore of three pretty singles and scored two runs. Talk about two baggers, why four of our boys had a finger in the pie and the dou- ble sackers added to the attractive ness of the game. Candy Lachance. the ex-National leaguer, was about the softest thing Corcoran ran up against. Candy famed three times and hit weak liner to Phil the oth- CT time up. Following is the score:
