THE DIAMOND
WE WON AND BY GOOD LUCK
New Britain Defeated in a Close Battle Results of all Other
 Contests.

New Britain outbatted and out fielded us yesterday, but we pulled out victory just the same, because the few hits we did make counted in the running. We were aided too by the decisions. or one of them. at least, of Umpire Sternberg who favored us so well in one inning that two runs were tagged up on our portion of the score board. Eastman twirled his first game for the locals and had ex- cellent luck with the exception of two innings. There were several fielding features, Spud Murphy and Bronkie of the local team being two of the. participants and Waterman for the visitors. One of the smallest, If not the smallest crowd of the sea son was present at the game, which was really good one in many re- spects. Perhaps the crowds were waiting for the double header with New Britain tomorrow. The score: Wot

BASE BALL NOTES.

New Britain here for a double header tomorrow.
 Jimmy Sebring. who has been on the outlaw list, and has been playing with Harrisburg, will join the Brook lyn National league team on Monday.
 George Bone is strengthening up his team for the final dash in the pen naut direction and perhaps the New Havens won't have something to say to Hartford and Springfield before this season IS over.
 New Britain will be here to-mor- row with all sails set, to administer a double whipping to Waterbury for that defeat of yesterday. It would be a good joke on Billy if the double lsmbssting came in the other direc- tion.
 Manager Billy Hanna claims that forfeited game in New Britain and now the Hartford management is shouting that Hanna agreed to play the game over. It doesn't make any difference whether he did or not, il the forfeit stands.

 Last month a number of Ameri- can athletes came here to partlci- pate in games governed by the ath- Iefic association's rules.

They also cabled President Conway of the Irish-Amer- ican Athletic club. who advised his athletes not 70 compete. A number of the Americans. however. refused to accept the situation as Mr Conway saw it and took part in the games. sheridan was one of the men who did not participate.

THEY HAD EVEN BREAK.

New Haven, Conn, Aug 15.- Springfield and New Haven broke even in double header at the Savin Rock ball grounds yesterday after noon, the visitors winning the first game, to 1, the locals getting of with the second, ? to 0. Both ex- hibitions were slow. the most notice able thing being the poor work of Umpire Lawton.
 Maggert of Springfield was robbed of several hits during the double header because of star work by Cornell and Zacher. of New Haven. One of his drives was picked of the right field fence by Jerry Con- nell. So hard was 1t hit, and so fast was the runner, ;hat he was on sec ond base before being declared out. It was one of the longest drives into right field ever made on the local grounds. The score:

HoLYoKE PLAYED RECKLEssLY,

Holyoke, Aug 15.-Just as the Papermakers were within striking distance of the first division, the Orators, headed by Uncle Jeems O'Rourke, delayed their entrance in select circles by negotiating a to 1 win here yesterday afternoon. If the Papermakers expect to finish the season out of the second division, there Is not much hope that their ambitions will be realized if such ball as that of yesterday is played much longer. Fielding errors and punched bingles were responsible for three of Bridgeport's tallies. The concluding tally of the quartet was the result of good baseball and the ability to hit Jimmy Lavender.

 The attendance was small, the lack of interest in the days card evidently resulting from the fact that no pools were sold. on the races.
 The feature was the Dominion Of Canada stake, s5,000, for 2:11 pae- CTS. Seven horses forced the starter, the circuit followers favoring the Ca- nadian horse, The Eel, who won in straight heats. The Canadian horse had to be hustled trif1e in the first heat to stall of Jerry B.
