MIR. "RUBE" WAS REAL RUBE IN
 THISGAME, YES!
Those New Britain Fellows Certainly
 Did Knock the Sphere About.
Things. During That First Inning, We're Awful for the Orators, and They Lost tke Game Then and There.

For good clean healthy welts on the horsehide. yesterdays game at New field Park. in which New Britain de- feated the Orators. 1O-7. had all other contests at this place beaten a mile. When it came to a show down for who couId hit tae furthest. the locals had the Cubebs beaten to a frazzle but the latter had the greater number of singles. MT. "Rube" Pollard, the youngster from Glastonbury. who shut New Britain out on her former ap- pearance here, was sent in to do the slab work for the Orators. but did not last a full inning. The Perfectos col lided with his slants for seven clean hits. which. with a hit batter and base on balls. netted eight runs. just one more than enough to win the game. These runs were made, mind, you, after two men were down. but the chance to retire the side was never given. It was here again that the poor judgment of either Captain Phelan or Manager ORourke. which one had charge of the team we know not, was manifested. Pollard should have been blanlzeted after the fourth man faced him. Romer did better. getting his man on a grounder that Hilt got to first in time. It was too late how ever. as eight runs had been scored. with hardly a chance to get back. The fans were given SpaSmS when 1t was seen the Orators could not hit the ball. every man going out in order till the fourth. And then. maybe the To- calls did not turn about and lambast MT. Wells. It was the lucky seventh, that they started real hard at getting at him. but a double play spoiled their chances. Leave it to the eight. friend, the hopes of the faithfuls that re- mained were revived when it was seen that Wells was going up. But he was +I~ ment of Captain Waterman. and Brown substituted. Nothing could they do with Brown. but in the ninth we had two on. with no results. -
