 bring home the game, and again Hack repeated his former performances The Orators got four scattered hits. Hart ford took the game 6-1. Hi Ladd was
 the only Orator who solved Schuman's
 delivery, connecting for three hits,
 while Bannon got in the other. Jimmy Gibbs was on duty for the locals, do- ing well enough to win an ordinary
 game. He had the Hartford batters in the air at times, striking out eight It looked like a good contest when Bridgeport blanked Hartford in the first three sessions, and in the last of the third scored the first run. In this Schuman then walked Bannon and
 dilt. Ladd sent short fly to left, which McKenna got under all right,
 but the sun got in his eyes, the ball Bridgeport's lone tally. Miller was also passed in this inning, and with three on bases, McKenna hit an easy bounder to Schuman, being thrown out at first.
 Three hits. and two infield outs tal- lied two runs for the Senators in the fourth In the sixth, a base on balls. a steal and a. wild heave of Connery's tap in front Of the plate by Kocher added another Hart's two bagger, a sacrifice by McKenna, and a sacrifice fly by Metzger and Connery's three bagger followed by an error of a thrown ball made by Bourquin ac- counted for two more runs in the eighth.
