TWICE BEATEN
 BY HARTFORDS

Hartford, after having been drubbed for the past two days, took revenge on Manager Jim's Orators yesterday in Hartford, taking two games by large scores. They were not satisfied with rubbing it in hard in the first en- counter, but turned about in the sec ond doing even better for themselves. Neither of the conests could go down for ball games, but they are figured up that way just the same Chickadee Evans gave the lowly Orators four hits and one run in the opener, while Freddie Gibbs gave the Senators twelve hits for the same number of runs. In the second game Mccarthy, the pitcher obtained from the Boston Nationals was as effective as Evans allowing the local lads the same number of hits. Heinie Hennig started this game for the Orators but lasted only l and 2-3 innings, six hits being made off him in that time. Pollard was rushed in to fill the gap. In the sixth, seven hits allowed eight runs. The scores:
 (First Game.) R. H. D. Hartford ....... .s1o2o6O Oos-12-1A2 Bridgeport ...... O10000 000O- l. A

Especial from United PresS.)
 New York, July 21.-Baseball fans who have been wildly enthusiastic about their team of late, believing that the Giants had an excellent chance of winning the National League pennant or at least running Pfttsburg and Chi cago to a close finish, are disconSolate today over the report that Christie Mathewson's hand is so badly injured he will be out of the game for a long while. MathewSon tried to stop a hot liner from Delehantes bat in the sev- enth inning of yesterdays game with St. Louis.
 The ball was a Sizzler and though it struck Mathewson'S gloved hand, it broke his finger. An X-ray examina- ton will be made today but Mathew sons physicians declare it will be some time before he is able to return to the game. Mathewson cannot possibly pitch in less than two or three weeks, during which time the Giants must play Chicago here and the Pirates in PittSburg.

 But the wonder to me has always been that so many college men stand athletics at all as they run them now adays, not that some of them go to pieces.
 "You say this Yale investigation men were overcome beeanse of the strain on their hearts in two boat ra- ces with Harvard.
