Well may the Mechanics and their faithful followers who journeyed to Savin Rock Saturday shout hard luck
 MeCann's band had the contest 20 UT to the ninth inning. but the White
 Wings opened up on Pitcher Hager- don, our latest recruit from the New
 York Americans in that stanza and by gathering three hits tied the score Previously they had cornered only two safe drives. The game then went on for two more cantos, the White Wings bringing one man across, over 4.500 fans saw the contest It was a hard game to lose. the Bridgeport players feeling the loss quite keenly.
 The Bridgeport players electrified the New Haven fans by their snappy fielding They were going so good, that the rooters were applauding their work more so than the White Wings. Just to show their speed, the Me chanics uncovered four double plays. The greatest double of all came in the seventh. In that inning with the whole bleachers shouting like mad. the New Ravens had three on and none down, due to two passes and an err TOT of judgment by Hagerdon. The fourth batter up foul flied to Riff Bai- ley, who grabbed the ball, as he was leaning over the short fence. The fifth batter was HerbSt, the best clOut- CT on the New Haven team. He drove hard on the bound to Miller who grabbed the ball, throwing to Kocher al the plate. Brad tapped the rub Der and heaved to Bailey at first completing as pretty a double play as one would want to see. Nothing could hold the Park City rooters, for it look ed like good night to the game. The New Haven fans laughed last and best.
 Our first run came in the fifth. Ladd led off with a single to left. He was forced at second when Stowe hit to first base. Bobby, however beat the return. Stowe just to show his towns folks how to play the game stole sec ond. He made home easily when Cy Miller doubled to the left field fence. Big league base running added another score in the seventh. Bailey started with a pretty single to left, making second on Ladd's sacrifice. Stowe hit deep, to Bunyan, Dent having to GOV CT the bag.
 Dents momentum to make the bag carried him beyond that sta ation, Biff Bailey tearing home. The New Ha- ed Dent, but Umpire Fahey had his back turned to the play watching Bai- ley come home.
 With the outfield lined with the New Haven fans, Jerry Cornell opened New Haven's part of the ninth with a hit between Bailey and Stowe, which he just managed to beat out. Stis' bounce to first placed Cornell on sec ond from where he scored when Sher- wood lined to left for his second hit of the game. Belden's hit to right pushed Sherwood around to the third sack, the kid scoring when Cough, batting for Bunyan bounded slowly to Bailey. With one away in the tenth Kustus reached first on Stis' tumble. The next two men were infield outs. After two White Wings had been packed away in the tenth, Dent sim gled to center. followed by Connell doubling to the same pasture, but Dent was held at third on a. quick return by Ladd. Herbst line drive to Ladd.
 In the eleventh Stowe hit into right field. It was good for two baser, but Jerry oCnnell by tricky play held Bobby at first. The Mechanics made a big howl to Ump Fahey that Stowe ought to be allowed to go on to second, but that official in clear defiance of the rules of the game kept the Kid at first Millers grounder to Klinck chased Stowe to second, while Koch CTS offering to the same player has tened Stowe up to third. If Stowe had been allowed to make second on that block of Councils he would have SCOT ed as the two grounders by Miller and Kocher, were in such position that it would be impossible to stop runner at the plate. Hagerdon could not bring Bobby home, lifting fly to center.
 sHagerdon in the last half of the 11th could not get em over for Sher- wood and walked the kid, costly play. Just to show how luck was running against the Mechanics, Bel den in his attempt to sacrifice raised a little pop between the home plate and third. Both Miller and Kocher ran for the pop, pumping into each other and losing the out. Belden fol- lowed with a sacrifice which placed Sherwood on second when Cough sim gled to left, Sherwood came tearing home. The throw of Kustus was most accurate, falling into Kocher's init on the first bound. Kocher put the ball on Sherwood, and the ump waved the player out. But in the slide, Sherwood knocked the ball from Kocher's init and was later declared safe, ending the game. The score:
