In game featured by the hitting | of Peiss and Corcoran yesterday after noon the locals beat out Jim oRourkes men by the score S-6. It was a contest made exciting by lot of hitting, the honors being even, all of which goes to prove that New Ha- ven got to komer when hits were needed and this coupled with few costly mlsplays settled the argument. The new infeld played with more pep per than has been seen at the Prairie In moons. Sherwood Knocked down two hits and assisted in a snappy double play on one of them; Wester- berg was all over the short field and gobbled up a nice Texas leaguer ln' short left field by the foul line: Eddie Havel ran over In back of first, block cd a hard bounder and recovered the ball in time to throw his man out at first and George Simmons, but what's the use of telling anything about him, every one in the city knows about 1t and 1t is sufficient to say that he field ed his position like Fred Penney and others of his class. Strange to relate the big fellow didn't get In safe one aud this was undoubtedly the big sen sation of the afternoon. McKean, the new catcher from the New York Giants supported Corcoran and his work was admirable. He made a beautiful catch of foul fly after some fast sprint ing close to ihe third base fence and from that time on was strong with the fans, and also the critics All in all he looked the candy and 1t is grati- flying to know that he Is to be with us. Reliable old Harry Jope left his business in the grove to help out Man ager Bone but at the last moment Me Kean appeared and saved Harry the work lAll of this shows that the feel ing on the club points towards but one thing, the pcnnant and our hats are off fo every man connected with it!
