CERTAIN MAN NAMED BROWN HELD US DOWN No Fault of Gibbs That Mechan- ics Were Beaten by New
 Britain M'Cann'S HitlesS Crew Played Rugged Fielding Game and Lost the Lead Thereby

1H0 ScHeuuIe SdIO brlQS0pOrL anu New Britain were to play Very well for the schedule. The standing showed that one of those clubs was in first place, and the other in third, but crowding her two predecessors. One would assume that to such a meeting there would be some snap and vim, but the sad statistics relating a 40 shut out for the home crowd, does not tell how poorly both clubs played. There was no hitting to speak of, while some of the fielding was the ranheSt ever. They were those para lyZingi errors which take the starch out of the fanatics.
 New Britain never should have grabbed run, being presented with every tally. though their first count goes down as an earned run, yet it clubs batted lightly, felded uncertain ly and ran bases when they did get on, shyly. Worst of alls though but ten hits were made during the game, and there were no stops for injuries to players or kicks with the ump, the game was not played in union time, it taking two hours and five minutes to rattle off the nine innings.
 Regei~ Brown to whose consistent work, the Aviators now owe their present position in the race was Dan O'NeiPs selection, and it was a wise one. Reggie held the now hitless Me chanics to four safe drives, two of and Jackson. For Bridgeport Fred die Gibbs did the serving parting with half dozen safe welts, three of these of the scratch variety. He would have shut out the visitors, but for the ragged support accorded him. Fred die worked hard flaming eight men and walked two. Gibbs disappeared when Jovial Joe Whelan went in to bat for him. Chief" Snyder finish ed out the ninth inning, allowing a scratch hit, and walking one, but held the Aviators scoreless.
 Frank Beaumont, the old Orator catcher, must have attained a new lease of life, due probably to the in- vigorating Sound breezes, which he has missed for two seasons, for he cracked out three hits in four times up. Two of the trio were of the scratch variety.
 Cassett. first man up, kicked out a hit into Jackson's villa On Mar sett took to second, the Cuban going out at first. Almeida hit hard to Hall, Cassett passing Jimmy before the sphere came his way. Hall must have left his intelligence in cold stor- age for he tried for Cassett at third and missed. This rustiness or the reasoning apparatus allowed Almeida to make first in safety and cost a run as Moore hit so hard to Stowe that Bobby spilled the ball allowing Cassett to dent the dish, though Moore succumbed at first.
 Gibbs famed Havel. Cabrera and Brown in the fourth, but in between fo rnf nr fn work his way around Stankard sec- ond up bounced an easy grasser at Hall, Jimmy allowing the pill to drift into the field. Then Brad Kocher uncovered one of his famous wild l1eaves to second to stop Standards pilfer. Stankard was resting on third when Ladd returned the ball to the infield. Hall should have put Beaumont out easily, but on running in on the ball he slipped to the ground making a clever catch, but from the sitting posture could not get Beau at first. Stankard scored on the hard luck play.
 ed to first. Kocher picked up Mar san,s sacrifice in front of the plate, throwing wildly to first base, the runner being safe and Cassett going on to third. Almeida hit hard to Hall, Cassett's life being snuffed out at the plate. GipDS lnaoe great stop of Moore's high bounder, forcing Marsans at third. Gibbs who had previously famed Havel on two oc- casions, had two strikes and no balls on the same player. when the latter let out, drifting a two bagger into right center, scoring Almeida and Moore.
 Bridgeport's best chance to score came in the first. Eley had singled and made second on Stoves sacrifice Ladd's hard drive at Cabrera was stopped by the latter's head, holding EIev at third. A double stear was attempted, Beaumont short throwing to Cabrera. Eley started for home but was dropped on the return from Cabbage. The score:
