WE SCORED AND
 THEY SCORED TOO
One Ippipg Did the Trick for Both
 Waterbury and Bridgeport Other Results.

Bridgeport. Aug 14.-Bridgeport won from Waterbury at Newfield park yesterday afternoon, 5 to 4, be- cause they were able to bunch four hits in the fifth inning at the same time Farley went lame and passed one batter beside hitting another. Romer's pitching was what really wonsthe game for Bridgeport as dur ing the five and two-third innings that he was in the box he retired Waterbury without hit. The most peculiar thing about the entire game was the fact that all of the runs scored by each side were made in one inning, the fifth for Bridgeport and the fourth for Waterbury. =--
 The game was a we'll played one as rule and was anybody's contest until the last man was out in the first half of the ninth inning.
 Brown started to pitch for Bridge port, and did all right for three in nings, allowing but two scattered hits. It was in the fourth that Wa terbury found him for four hits and then he was replaced by Romer, the side-wheeler. The first thing that Romer did was to catch Farley, the last man getting a safe hit off Brown, mapping at first base. Wa terbury was unable to touch him, only three players reaching first, and those through errors of O'Rourke and Hit, but splendid throw to the home plate by Phalen cut off Nichols who otherwise would have scored the tying run.
 The first three innings were fruit less of runs for either side, Bridge port going out in order, while Wa terbury made two scattered hits and had one batter passed.
 Waterbury meant business when the fourth inning was reached just as If victory was coming to them. O'Rourke and Bronkie singled, an error by Jimmy O'Rourke allowing O'Rourke to reach third, while an error by Beaumont, poor throw to catch Bronkie at second, allowed O'Rourke to score the first run. Shincel was passed and Murphy's sac rifice scored Bronkie and advanced Shincel, while hits by Eastman and Farley scored Shincel and Eastman, making four runs for Waterbury.
 At this Manager O'Rourke called Brown out, sending in Romer, and thereupon the tide of battle turned the other way as Romer caught Far ley mapping of first and Fitzpatrick went out on a high fly to Miller.
 Bridgeport opened up the fifth in. ming by Hit sending a fly into Swander's hands so that the batter was out. 'Phalen tore of a single and Farley struck Miller with a pitched ball and passed Cassidy, fill. ing the bases. Hits by Rome: O'Rourke and Beaumont followed, scoring five runs.
 During the next two innings Bridgeport went out in order, while in the eighth Ladd was passed and Hit reached first through a poor throw by Farley, but neither scored.
 In the fifth Waterbury nearly scored. An error by Jimmy O. Rourke allowed Nichols to reach first, Romer advancing him by a balk, but when he tried to score from second on Hilt's poor throw to Pha- len, a quick throw by Phalen cut him of at home. In the ninth an error by Jimmy o'Rourke allowed Shincel to reach first, he being sac rificed to second by Murphy. but he remained there as Romer struck out Eastman and Farley went out on an easy ground hit to Jimmy o'Rourke.
