 Senators and Orators will mix it up at Newfield this afternoon.
 Pass Riley Kelley the sweet corn. Luck was with him again. He vas saved from a black ball.
 Poor Joe Connor, His dream last evening must have been of agony. Good night Joe.
 Who said the Orators could not wal Top the globule. The fans never spent such a hilarious afternoon and let it be added, evening.
 Don't make any arrangements for Sunday. Aug. 22 just week from this coming Sabbath. It's Downey day. Thomas Downey, the pride of the East Side, and the idol of the Cincinnati fans will stick out his chest around the green swad at Steeplechase on that afternoon.
 Yesterdays second contest saw the downfall of two Of Glastonbury's claim. and Rube Pollard who is mak- ing big effort to take that title away from him.
 Miller's feat of Iacing the Victor over the left field fence has been duplicated only on one other occasion. by Harry Woodruff, who played with Holyoke. Woodruff was big husky. handsome young chap, who afterwards turned his attention to the stage, turning the minds of many a sweet young thing. The same year that Woodruff pulled off his stunt, Pop Foster almost did the act, but the ball hit the barbed wire on top of the fence and bounded day cleared the fence by over forty feet. A boy who was passing on New field avenue said it passed over his head landing ten feet in the garden on is at least 30 feet vide. So be 1t. Cy Milier's hit goes down for the longest wallop ever made at Newfeld!
 it of losing the first contest. will also have the second game challxed up against him. The Ponies were in the lead when he relieved Mclean. Kane will be given credit for the Orator vic- tory. thus saving Eiley. Reilly from a black mark on his record, which stands with five wins and no defeats,
 That New Britain rowdy who started the riot in New Haven Saturday in- tends to sue the New Haven club for damages. He ought to thank his stars that he is living to-day to tell the story.
 Jimmy Savage the former viilanova captain. who played with Hartford long enough this season to help win a game from the Orators. has been noti- fled by Secretary Farrell of the Ma tionaI Commission that he is the, prop erty of the New York Americans. Jin- my is now waiting to hear from Boss Stallings.
 The Orators are all ginger since Doc Bunyan has been appointed captain of the outfit. Hi Ladd gave up the job | as he thought 1t ought to be the place 1 of an fnf1elder and not an outfielder who should handle the job. Put this down in your record book: | 26 of the 7 put outs on the Orator | side of the score were distributed | The full game would have resulted that way but as it happened, Pop Ris- | ing. the last man up in the game made | the 27th out by flying to Ladd.
 Beecher. something new as an um- | pire hailing from New Haven, was very slow in keeping the contest nov | ing. Two hours for a Fl game is too | long. The time in the second contest l can be accounted for. Beecher is not i an expert on balls and strikes

 Chet Waite made a perfect record in the second game. with four hits, out | of four times up. Butch Steinhauser
 
 wallops out of five trips. Butch also had base on balls in this game.
 Slats Sweeney could not seem to | hol1 anything during the first game but was all to the Hal Chase in the second. He had so many put outs in the second because of the many Pony sacrifice hits. on which he covered first on the throws. His three hits in the night cap all came when there were men on the bags. Five hits out | of nine times up was his afternoons l work.
 Maggert robbed Steinhauser of a sure | three baser in the fifth inning of the l first game. The Victor was on a line l between right and center for the bull | rushes, when Maggert's glove hove in 1 sight in front of it. The fans were not a bit scarce in appaluding the | catch, as at the time the bases were filled. | The Orators have a lay off Friday | the game with Waterbury having been played as a part of the double header, Sunday. This will give them a suffici- ent rest for the double bill with HoI- yoke here, Saturday.
