The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-06-29

Possession being nine points of the law the Mechanics are today in pos session of the game with Hartford at Newfield yesterday Az, but there is a storm brewing. President Tracey or the league directors will be called up- on to decide whether Bridgeport is entitled to the victory or whether the game will be played over. Gloomy Gus Soffel captain of the Senators be- came peeved in the first inning claim ing that Red McKenna's wallop in- to left field which zigzagged through the horse gate was good for the cir cult and not for only two-thirds of it. Ump Finn held to the ground rules that hit into the crowds entitled the batter to three bases. Gloomy Gus held that as the ball went out of the field a home run should be credited. The argument incident to this decision held the game up for ten minutes. Had Finn allowed Soffers claim, it would have meant another run for the Sen- tors, making possibility of an extra inning contest.
 It was one of those games good to look at, clever pitching, snappy field chanics were the terrors with the cud- gel splashing base hits all over the park. principally those little pokes which do the most damage. The en- emy came across with more longer wallops. but these were scattered throughout the nine innings.
 Hi Ladd, who has been drafted from the hospital league would like to have Lefty Peverentz opposing him every day. The old scout slammed out three timely hits, and knocked in three of the four runs. The pitchers will begin thinking better of Hi, and will soon be passing him up when the men are on the paths. Tom Crooks s was not far behind finding Leverentz for two two-baggers. Dick Nallin also came across with two safe drives out of four times up. That is terrible trio. Nallin, Crooks and Ladd, with the rest of the squad always ready to aid in the undoing of the enemy.
 Uppy Upham started to work for the Mechanics lasti- but three innings when "Red" Waller was called in for relief duty. Uppy was lucky to get by, being slapped for two hits in the first. One of those runners was kill ed trying to steal, while the other Mc- Kenna was left on third on Finn's de- cision. Uppy was hit for a triple and single in the third, scoring the Sem ator's first run. Waller was met with a three baser by Jim Hart in the fourth, Jim scoring when Stowe with out any. thought flung the sphere to the grand stand in an effort to get the runner whom he supposed was on his way. Had Stowe had his wits about him he would have seen the runner hugging third. It was one foolish run presented.
 Leverentz, whose work has been keeping the Senators in the van this season, was opposed to the Mechanics for the first time this year. He went we'll enough, but was met with a fus- silade of hits in most every inning, the Speed Boys gathering in all 13 safe drives. Lefty had somewhat of a strike out record, 10 for eight innings Waller also was there with this sort of killing, dropping in six innings.
 The Mechanics started off like the leaders that they are in the first. Af- ter Hall and Eley had been sent back by the strike out route, Nallin oblig- ed with hit to left. Tom Crooks dit toed into the same pasture for two
