The local ball team again went down before the league leaders from Hart ford yesterday afternoon at the Savin Rock grounds In game full of good, bad and indifferent playing, The final score was 6-2, and had Lefty Wilhelm been supported In anywhere near de- cent fashion there might have been a different story to tell. In the first place George Simmons and Clyde Waters were both unfit to enter the game, the former having a badly injured thumb on his throwing hand, while the local catcher suffered severely from stomach trouble. Waters after catching couple of innings was forced to give 1t up and Cornell and he changed positions Neither of these men are guardians of the Initial sack and don't claim to be and right here tho game was lost There were other more serious trou- bles noticed yesterday on the bench and If things go on as they have been the bubble will break. Above all things there must be harmony among ball players--in fact 1t Is one of the great est assets any club can have. A word to the wise Is sufficient. Yesterday tho men seemed without heart and It Is to be hoped that the sky will clear at once The runs were obtained in the following manner: After Lefty Wilhelm had famed Wallace he hit Fallon in the side. Gardner punched the ozone. but Connery singled advancing Fall lon to Sherwoods retreat On Waters throw to Simmons to catch Connery stealing second, Fallon slid under Wa ters at the plate and was called safe. Noyes was hit. but Yancey was retired by the Casey route.
 Tn the next session Justice reached first on Councils error, went another base on O'Leary's sacrifice. stole third though he was clearly thrown out by the local catcher, and came home on passed ball. Wallace lined out to Eavel Waters was apparently dizzy and at the opening of the third went to first, Jerry Cornell going behind the timber
 Wilhelm pitched magnificent ball In the fourth and blanked Dowd's troupe. In the locals half great double play from Fallon to Justice shattered New Haven's chances for scoring. The sixth opened favorably for us as Harry Moves was quickly disposed of. Havel pulled Waters off first on his peg of Yancey's bounder. Justice was hit and both runners advanced on Connelps passed ball. OLearys single scored them. Wilson walked and Pulsifer, the Bates college baseball coach, who took Walaces place, hit to Waters, who threw low to the plate to get O'Leary and the visiting backstop scored The next two batters hit Up easy flies and the comedy ended.
 New Haven scored twice In the fol- lowing period. Herbst got an infleld hi and Sherwood walked. Waters was or deck with timely bingo and Herbs tailed Wilhelm hit to Wilson, who go Sherwood at the dizzy corner Connel popped to Moves, but Pleiss stung ou a two-b -bagger, scoring Waters Have ended 1t all by going out Moves to Con nery.
 In Hartford's half of the final session Gardner opened with two-base hit went to third on Connery's sacrifc, and got home when Moves hit lonf fly out to Pleiss Yancey was easil. retired. The locals didn't get a. look-il in their last crack at Wilson and tn game was over.
 Better days are coming and tha right soon, so keep the hammers in tn cellar.
