GAMES TO-DAY. New Haven at Waterbury. Holyoke at Hartford, New Britain at Bridgeport. Merlden at Springfield,

Glplluy AaCner anu prdCllchlly LII the New Haven ball team know what trey are about for they surely did some awful clouting yesterday after noon at the savin Rock grounds, Up to the eighth inning 1t had been nothing but the local club with some interest," ing comedy furnished by Umpire Will kinson and the proverblal Clans" Tn this inning the comedy changed to pathos as the Ponies began to land on Mccabe and aided by an error by Hav- el piled in 5 runs. Cold chills, nervous twitching, and acute palpltation of the heart were symptoms of the effect this rally had upon the 500 fans present. Mc- Cabe was an enigma until this round and pitched almost faultless ball being pleasingly strong when danger threat ened. Waters worked splendidly be- hind the breeze path and but one Springfield tosser attempted to purloin second while seven men stole on Catch- CT Connor.
 Billie Lush was In the game for the first time this year and played heady game, his pretty bingo in the fourth scoring two men, He famed three times but this was due to the fact that his eyes still trouble him Later when the new first baseman ar rives he will jolly out into the garden nnd show New Haveners how he used 10 pick plums off the fence in his big league days
 Walsh. the new man O'Neil presented did not pitch poorly, but he allowed a punching of hits in two innings. which proved disastrous His support was by no means up to the standard set by the local felders and several bad slip ups did a whole lot of damage. While New Haven did hit the sphere pretty hard seven errors charged agalnet the Ponies partially tells the story.
 As has been said outside of the eighth there really wasn't much use of aSy- body hanging around for the result looked towards the locals games won. column almost from the start.
 McCabe. the br,ilser from the land of the unpopular mosquito. was slated to discourage any ambitions the Spring field contingent might entertain look ing towards the accumulation of hits. He must have been considerably vexed In the first inning when they got to him for three hits which aided by a free pass netted them two runs.
 It was with this appreciable handi- cap that the locals stepped up to the plate and faced the confident Mir Walsh, late of wilkesbarre. When this Il, ,.t.. Ia. their half without run you couldn't separate the smiles on the face of the pitcher from the golden sunshine. They made a simultaneous and entirely har. monious appearance and the only clouds that remained were in the grandstand and out In back of first base where Clans. we'll supplied witt nose paint, was handing out the onl, proper line of talk for a well-advieet baseball fan. Mir Walsh was wha the Scotch call fey" He was tot happy to last. Things were headed tC happen to him and they did. In thu second Lush touched him up for base Sherwood touched him up for a base Clyde Waters with the royal purple O Williams written all over his make e-ul reached first on a flelder's' choice, Cap tain McAndrews of the Ponies forcint Billie Lush out of the base line iron where he was obliged to walk to thu bench despite his argument to Umpir Wilkinson that he had not gone thre feet out. When Catcher Como dropped his pitchers beautiful drol tn,. fully to the initial sack It was very good point of baseball etiquette for a visiting gentleman always shout do this especially when 1t fills up tn bases with only one down. Mr. Wals Is some worried and for a moment h forgot the location of the plate. Wit three and one on Hayward this Is tn situation.
 McCabe Is on first.
 Waters is on second.
 Sherwood is on third.
 This is to be thought of as the psy chological moment.
 MT Walsh is distrait. Mir. Pleiss at the bat Almost before one know what has happened the ball has bee
 hit and is reelng out Into the sand { lot We'll to make 1t short we pile
 fin runs. Again in the fourth we di
 business. Hayward beat out a bun Pleiss got a free ticket. Havel sacrI feed advancing both runners simmon reached first when MAcndrews thre' low to the plate to catch Hayward Lush scored Plelss and Simmons on pretty hit and three more run wer scored up against OTNeil's colts Score, New Haven 2, Springfield 9. Tn the fifth again New Haven got more on Hayward's hit, an error b Murphy followed by line smash ove the left field fence by Simmons. was just like getting money from hon for the second-sacker and all the gir said 1t was the most stylish swat the matinee.
 ! In the eighth with the score ii against them, Rising the first Pony Il walked and Luby singled Waite fle out to Zacher and Murphy was retire on a nice catch by Pleiss Then McCat gave Fltzhenry a free ticket and Ha, 'el made a bad error after which fl, runs came in on some heavy hitting | the Springfield men. Yale finally ende the inning by going out, Simmons Lush. Score New Haven Il, sprint field [.
 In their half of the eighth after Lus 7 had famed Sherwood and Waters h
 safely. McCabe flied out to Waite bl
 Hayward wac passed. Mir. Walsh aga
 got excited and hit Pleiss forcing MI Kid Sherwood. Nothing happened a
