The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-09-04
EVEN BREAK
 FOR TAIL BINDERS
Orators Should Have Taken Two Games From the
 Ponies
Gibbs and Kane Were Etfec- tive But Former Did Not Get Support He Merited Timely Swatting.

Bridgeport should have taken both
 contests from Springfield yesterday at
 Newfeld, but the first was given away
 through the misplays of the Orators,
 two errors being recorded in the sixth
 session, which allowed two runs,
 enough to win the game. The finish
 was at 2-1. The second was much bet
 ter and was won by the Orators on
 clean timely hitting 3-2.
 Murray Parker twirled both contests
 for his club and twirled well, holding
 the Orators to four hits in the first
 game, but weakened in the second,
 enough for the Subway artists to get
 m a few safe clouts when they were
 needed. Gibbs with any kind of de-
 cent support would have pulled out a.
 victory in the first but the fruits were
 denied him. Candy" Kane after that
 slaughter on Wednesday by Waterbury
 returned to form and did finely in the
 second game. He had the Ponies
 breaking their backs trying to con- meet.

 The start of the second game was somewhat different from the first. as the Orators exhibited something. like ginger. Steinhauser led off with a hit Bannoa sacrificed him to second. A passed ball put Steinhauser on third Parker did not wish to take any chances with Hit, and passed h.m. Kid Ladd picked out an out curve to saw was that Waite and Connor were hoofing it to the bull in center field.
