BRIDGEPORTS
 PLAYED WELL
But not We'll Enough to Win-Trying
 Out the Pitchers.

Bridgeport played in surprisingly good form yesterday afternoon at New field park. holding the Montreal East ern Leaguers to the score of 3-2. At that Bridgeport had a good chance to win but fell down. Manager O'Rourke used three pitchers and the same num- Der of catchers. Poland. the first man to ofhciate. was touched up for eight hits in three innings during which time the visitors corralled all their runs. Gibbs relieved him, pitching for four innings. His style in the box showed that he had the material to make up a good box artist. He had the Canucks breaking their backs to connect with his benders of which he had many styles. He allowed one hit. that a scratch by Joyce over third base. He used his head in the seventh, passing Joyce after that player had connected with the sphere for three safeties. two of them good for extra sacks. Roemer relieved Gibbs at the beginning of the without a hit. The Orators were not very prominent with the stick Doyle who pitched the first five innings let them down with one hit. while Adams, lowing three singles. Of the new men. besides Gibbs in the box. Bourquin showed up to advantage. accepting his two chances in neat style and cracking out a beauty single into right garden. He plays the mid field as if he was ac- customed to it.. while at bat he in spires confidence in the hearts of the fans. Teehan. though he must be gfv- en credit for. his fifteen put-outs- at first without an error, was harmless at the bat. Brooks in left field and McKenna in right need a few more years in semi-professional ball before they break into the ranks of the pros. Doucette the .460 batter from the Green Mountain State has not shown any of that swatting ability as yet. He is not as snappy on the second corner as Bourquin.
 Montreal started the scoring by tall lying one in .he opener. Joyce. the first man up. slammed the sphere be- tween right and center for two bags. He was held on second while Yeager went out from pitcher to first. O'Neill's made the station by good running. The Canadians scored duo in the third. Joyce up first again, found Pol lard for another two sacker and came home on Yeager's lift to left field. on which throw in that player advanced to the second bag. O'NeilPs two bag ger between left and center scored Yeager. Jones struck out. but Cockill O'Neill attempted to score. but was nipped at the plate by a pretty throw by Hi Ladd. Montreal was not dan gerous after this inning due to the that succeeded Pollard. The locals first hit came in the fourth when Ladd found Doyle for beauty to center. Miller was on first at the time of the hit on which he advanced to third Ladd going to the mid station on the throw to catch "Cy." Doucette had a chance here to make himself solid. but sent an easy one bounding to Doyle, who threw to first. Hilt. the first up in the sixth sent a screecher to center but the men following him could not come to his rescue. Roemer opened the eighth with a pass to first. was ad- vanced to second on Hilt's hit to Cor coran which was too hot for that play CT to handle. Brooks sacrifice ad- vanced both runners a base. Yeager's error of Mi1ler'S grounder sent Roemer across the rubber with the first tally for the locals. Still two on with only one down and Ladd up. Hi sent a slow bounder to Corcoran on which Hilt scored. Bourquin struck out ending the inning. The locals had one on in the ninth but could not do any thing. The score:
