The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-06-16

Hungry-you bet they were hungry mot for baseball, but for the big eats. That pacified mob of 1,600 fans waited from o'clock in the afternoon to 6:oO in the evening: waited for the Me chanics to do something other than to lose games to the Larks. It was the first double bill of the season and the biggest mid-week crowd of the season turning out to see the Mechanics drop two games to Bill Luby's underpalds from Northampton. The fafthfuls who remained till the last. knowing they would have to return to the cold vic tuals, saw 21 innings of every kind or
 baseball To start with they saw Bridgeport trimmed in the first game, which went F innings. 4-3. And again in the second witnessed the slipping
 away of another game, 5-4. As re- suit of the two losses the Mechanics give way to Waterbury in the league race, while Northampton by the two wins, passes Holyoke, the latter club having an awful week of it.
 What kind of baseball was not served up. To begin with. it looked like a cfnch for McCann's happy family when, by great playing, three runs were scored in the first inning. In this inning. something was done Wnlcn had never been accomplished at New field Park heretofore. Joe Kustus stole home from third base while Pitcher Warner was winding up. Not to be outdone Hi Ladd also stole home in the same inning. but his steal was easier, the play being made to eaten of hitting from the start. good and bad fielding, and clever pitching. The hit ting was all done by the invaders, as Bridgeport ran into a series of blanks both in scoring and hitting from the third on to the twelfth. The regular big rally, those which come in the ninth. happened Northampton's way, tying the score.
 The greatest play of the day was in the tenth, when Joe Kustus raced way to the left field horse gate pulling down a long drive from Luoys pat. If the ball had gotten away or even was funbled, it would have been good for three bases. as the ground rules allowed that many. The hit would have scored Newton, who was on the bags. and would have ended the game in that inning: The game was throWn @ away by Miller in the twelfth. Cy after picking up Williams bunt threw wild to Bailey. Williams making third, scoring on Newton's fourth safety Of the game
 That second game showed which way the luck was going. The Me chenics seemed to place their drives just where the Larks would happen to be. The big feature of this game was the long hitting by both teams, and wonderful leap into the. air by Hi Ladd, pulling down a torrid liner off Burns bat.
 Yale beat out a hit to Jimmy Hall in the first, stole second. and attempt ed to steal third. He would have been out a mile if Miller had been just a little awake. Cy was slumber1ng, al- lowing KOcher's perfect throw to glide
 Al,@ cs11I Vn1n ing. For our part. with two away, Kustus hit through the pitcher for a base Bailey's drive bounded off Warmers glove into left field, ''Biff' making two on the hit and kustus go- ing to third. While Warner was wind ing up, Kustus set sail for home. slid ing into the plate before Shincel could put the ball on him. Bailey also stole third during the play, scoring when Ladd uncovered two baSer into left, and going to third on passed ball. Stowe was dead-headed As he made an attempt to purloin second the play was made for him. Ladd coming home beating the relay to Shincel. Stowe kept on going, being out at third, 10 Gardella.
 The Larks tied up in the ninth. With Burns out of the way, Shincel a. passed ball. A hit by Schwartz meier to left sent Shincel unto the last turn home. The gink with the funny rame stole second. Bill Luby chose lawn Hess as the man to bat for Warner and deliver a pinch hit. lawn did, polling the ball to left. The sphere took a bad bound as it came to Kus- tus, stopping that player from making a play for the second runner at the plate. The score was now tied and vent into extra innings. In the twelfth, Williams laid down a perfect h1nt along the third base line which Miller after picking up heaved wildly to first the Indian going to third SCOT
