 It was sorry sight that ihe fans, ssho went mp 10 the grounds ansi sweitered in the JIiy heat Saturday afternoon, looked upon Many Of then left before the game 0as over a. they could mol stand II to see tue way Ibeif fayorites weni ap te the slaughter, without q struggle. And the taiiend. CTS did the bniehering, which made | all the harder.
 We said last week that Putnam tenn showed lack Of beadwofk. II was apparent In this game After the Greys had punched on Dslzel in the sth, getting i've singles that nettea two runs, he was allowed to continue in the box In the 9th and 9th until thirteen with total of sixteen had been made of him and the visitors had the game cynehed with lead of five. The last three or four games have all been this way. There was rio excuse for 1t Saturday with Dubois, ohnson or Tairo 10 put In or fl necessary ali could have been used and the game won. Putnam played dopy game ie be sure. but when pitcher gets bumped and run after run Is earned players are not 50 much to blame If they lose their interest and grow careless.
 Putnam has as good an infield and ontaeld as my in the league and VI believe as many batting over the a,0 mark as in any team on the circuit Why are they making such A poor showing then? Chiefly because too many earned runs are being scored against them. This means weakness In the pitching boN. In the last six games We have made sixty hits to op ponents Is. Jewett City won from ns because theY punched Ill The ist and Jth: Nanfegan won their home game because they punched Tn tue 2nd and sth and Inst Saturday because they punched in the 9th, 9th and 7th.
 When Putnam loses, the fms on the street ask, "Whatis the mattet with ,em 7'i Well, that's what < the matter with 'em when you get down to facts and look Into It.
 Marion's stupid blunder gave Morin the first home run on the new dia- mond. The ball was batted over his head and rolled towards the canvas. Instead of looking for II and throwing IL in, he came In toward the inIield motioning to the umpire that Il had gone outside. Naturally WauTeEan wanted to he shown and went out to look. Hogan picked up the ball al the edge of the canvas and the seofe counted.
 The one classy play of the game WIS q running one.hapd catch by lsizoite fin the 6lh that robbed Atwood of tnpple,
 Johnson played at third. He missed the only ground chance he had and didn't get hil,
 patnam scored in the lst Ryland. CT singled, stole, and went to third when Williams didn cover on keach's throw. Tatfo scored him with double. Marion singled and the bases were full with but one down and il looked good. Johnson was hit by n hatled ball and Kenny flied 10 right.
 Five singles and n wild pitch gave Wauregan two in the ath.
 We tied in our half. With two down Kenny singled aud Houlihau ad- vanced him to third with Il hit to right. Ualzel hit to Hogan who threw wild .to first and Kenny crossed.
 IL would take several columns to ex- plain all the hits, fielding and battery errors that gave Wauregan their next eleven runs and we arc not going To ai. tempt IL.
 Putnam got their last one in the sth. Ryiander singled, stole, to third on an out and Tatro singled him over.
 The crowd had ihinned out material ly when the game ended, two hours from the stagt.
