The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-06-24

Welding their old war clubs with delicious effect, the Mechanics won from the Headless Senators, in a slam bang contest yesterday at Newfield Park, S-6. A forerunner of the Fourth was the way the hits exploded when the men were cavorting on the bags. Four triples, two doubles, and IA sim gles was the big toll for the torrid aft welts with the Mechanics the longer, the better placed and more fruitful. Hartford looked like the down trod- den after the first inning, when after one man had been forced home and none were out. they could not push another run across the plate. It seemed that they had spent themselves in that inning, but there was that lit tie comeback which threw few shiy- CTS down the spines of those who re- mained till the last. Hartford retal- lated in the final inning finding Ch1ef Snyder for four hits, while there were two men on the paths when the 27th put out was rung up.
 Brilliant fielding. especially on the part of the Mechanics, marked the aft ernoons play. It began with the first session, continuing until the very end. Right at the start after a run had been forced across the dish without an out being recorded. Bobby Stowe dug Hart's hard bounder out of the dirt, tossed to Kocher who dropped Metz ger for the first put out of the game. Along came Kid Rehg with a drive to right field. which Skipper" Eley was under in a jiffy, prepared to have the heave away from him with the catch. The ball tore in on a line. Red Nc Kenna being an easy out at the plate. It was the kind of double plays which win baseball games.

 on Metzger's teaser. McKenna, the next batter. swung at the first pitched ball. He met it, but Jimmy Hall was quicker than the bound over second, the pill resting in his init, and a fine double play resulted. In the fifth the Chief just getting the edge of his
 glove in the way. It looked like a sure hit to center field, but Bobby Stowe was there, killing Ivor at first.
 Chief Snyder bent the crab in the sixth when he caught, two handed, terrific liner from Goede's bat But lit remained for the eighth inning to furnish the sensational play of the aft ernoon. There were two out. and one on when Jim Hart swished around his club meeting the pill with full might Hart had the orb headed for at least 1 a three bagger or a possible home run. but Skipper Eley ran out with it, light and swift as a deer. and got his gloved hand on it so far out that 1t was hard to tell whether he was in or out of the park. There was not a more surprised individual in the whole park then Eley himself. The thought
 of catching that pill had never occur
 red to him; he had expected to be made a chaser of.
 Hartford lacked that snap and gin ger which is so pregnant when Tom Connery is playing first bag Their errors were most costly every one fig
 uring in the running. In the field their best piece of work was pulled off in the seventh when Metzger made a
 great pick up of Eley's bounce. He was so unbalanced that his throw to first went on bad bound, but Morgan at first dug into the earth, completing a great play.
 Tom Crooks wieIded his stick with wonderful effect slashing out two tri- pies and a scratch single. Gloomy Gus Soffel and George Metzger also connected for three bingles apiece. Things looked bad for Snyder at the start, Soffel singled to center. Metzger | following suit with one timer to left To make matters worse McKenna was plastered with the hide, filling the
