 Ha.liGGH. H@'a4t t.,n ,he silver Chy, possessct 1adl!'es which should have woG fcs Iifs tke game, On paper 1t would Hct seem possible for New Haven. nsviag made three errors to ;heir opponents none and being out h. ;p 1. 10 win the game, but an in spect!on of the New Haven hits and wheu t3cy we're made will show the wLy ard the wherefore. Three of the four hits were two-plggers and the other was a home run. one of Sher- woods errors was an error of judgment and caused little trouble, The Kid, thinking there was a man on first in the seventh threw Halligan's grounder to second, allowing the pitcher to get to base free of charge
 Meriden laid off half of her burden in the first inning. Soffel smote the ball on the forehead and sent it aai
 ing off into deep left field. He r6ead around to third safely, tearing off tho distance in 10 seconds fiat. It was a marvellous feat and this nladdenns sprint set nerves astray and caused fearful excitement in the bleaehers One man fainted and had to have a bucketful of wet water dashed in his face to resuscitate him. Then Brennan did the next best and ballooned the bal out to zacher, giving soffel twenty minutes to reach home.
 There was nothing doing until the sixth when Sherwood, accepting pass from Halllgan, glided to third on Hay els sacrifice and speeded home or Hayward's double to left. In the sey- enth 1t came to pass that Merider swerved into the lead and looked like sure victor, but Haywards unexpect. ed leap for life saved the day, as he had tied the score in the sixth.
 In the sixth Pastor, the first man ur to bat, drove the ball directly at Long and before the latter had time to pre- pare for the missile it toppled him. Hc threw wild to first and then immediate ly swooned. He revived about ten min utes later and continued the game.
 The score.
