The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-09-03

T grand chance for the pennant, that every game from now on counts, that it was about time to annex a win from the Finnegans, the Mechanics went into the contest with Waterbury yesterday at Newheld Park with a vengeance, winning after thirteen acidulous innings t4-3.
 When the residents entered the eighth inning the pastimers from Finntown had two runs to their rec ord while the Mechanics were unable to ditch a string of bubbles When that wild and naultuous session was completed the prior smiling faces or the Finnegans had become long faces for the Mechanics had chased three markers across the dish, and had the game apparently sewed up. But there was still fight left in the FinneganS and they came across with one count in the ninth again placing the teams on even terms. That tie remained as it was for three more long sulphur ous sessions with both clubs landing blow after blow with no telling eff feet. In the fourth extra stanza there came into the world a double from Bobby Stoves trustfu1 willow follow ed by two infield plays, the latter a 1nis-step by Chief Miller of Water bury which permitted of Stowe SCOT ing the run that sent the rebels home a beaten team.
 It was a. bull dog battle, in which both teams fought tenaciously, in which the hitting on the parts of the residents was unusually unproductive while for the invaders part was marked by a noted scarceness; a bat tie in which the few errors were cost ly. But if those few errors were costly there was over brilliant field ing to make up for them.
 As has been their wont all season it was Waller for the Mechanics pit ted against Bannister, and again the six cylinder gunner of the Connectf- gregation in the world came out on top of the heap. John R. in all those measly hits. three of which came in the regular nine inning course. It was time that the Mechanics got to Bannister It was the old story of leading the horse to the water too often sandy had been worked out against the Mechanics so often that he began to regard them as part of his life
 He had been especially fortunate in previous battles, but this time he met his Waterloo, being chased from the hits had been made in the one inning from his delivery, and one run had Tom Tuckey buttted into the proceed ings when the locals were one run be- hind. when they had a man on third, another F, on first two two qHt Tds, but with to fan the veteran, but his thoughts were faulty. The grand old scout drilled a sweet little nice little spill over second, scoring Bobby Stowe with the t1eing run, while fStonewa1l'' Jack son skedadd1ed home on Rodgers wild peg to Hoover, relayed to the plate too late to apprehend Jackson.
 As for the fielding, sensational plays were torn off from the start of the game till the extrernis in the thir- teenth Big leagues plays scintilated throughout. The nifty stuff started in the opener with remarkable one handed catch by Hoey off Eley's bat, continuing inning after inning, until it seemed to the fans that there would be no let up. There may have been clever short stops in former days in the Connecticut league, but one fails to find better exhibition of the Jimmy Hall in the short field yester- day. Inning after ir 1ing little Jimmy pulled the game from the coals by his over spectacular p1acingi Sphearing bounders to the right of him. bounders to the left of him, and bounders to the front of him. But that was not all, Jimmy 1oomed up as a most accurate thrower He had ten chances in the begging art, every one, but one, being a bulls eye heave. That one bad shoot was on a bad bound to Tom Crook but MT Thomas was on his job with a hobby pick up. Just to show how Mr. Crook was playing the game look at the bbx score, A put outs and one assist, a great afternoons toll. aRed' Waller was fielding in almost fauItIess style, getting seven assists. His one bad throw was costly it all6wed two F'innegans to each move up peg the misplay being followed bv lucky hit, scoring two runs. Bobby Stowe at second played bril-
