The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-06-28

With bands playing. banners waving and fair skirts shouting for l their favorites, the Bridgeport Eaks just meandered through that bunch of Hating Elks from Danbury yesterday afternoon at Newfield Park. When the scorers had gotten through figur- ing out the piece of cheese. it looked like A-4, and seven innings only had been played. A box score is given below, but the person who is respon- sible for it will not swear to vouch TOT the scramble.
 From the start when Captain Augur. he of Jack the Giant Killer fame, twisted in all kinds of shapes and threw the first ball across the plate to his midget partner. until the crowds were hoofing it home for the big eats, the game. Gall through this little say that which was done will be referred to. as a game), was scream. scfeam for the spectators. some Of them, but an awful mess for the poor scorers. There was some consolation when one fair young thing was over heard to say: Heaven will protect the poor scorers"
 It was 2:45 D. m. when the Wheeler & Wilson band headed by the baseball committee of the local Elks filed through the horse gate upon the field. Following came the Bridgeport Eaks, with the Danbury Antlers bringing up the rear. All marched past the grand stand amid the grand huzzars and big waves from the gay throng. The Bridgeport boys were first on the field, appearing in all sorts of regalia. There was Mayor Buckingham with Yale Law School shirt and a Bridgeport pants. No home could be found for the stockings. while the shoes have City Hall. Bill Bentley went out to third in practice appearing in a Read iEg Tri-State suit Steve Boucher and Hen Kane both sported St. Joseph re- galia. Bob Nichols had on an old Bridgeport grey, reminder of former years with that club: Elm Donnelly was some shout with a mixture of everything, covered over with a Lan- caster sweater jacket; Tommy Young wore his own Bullard Machine Tool Co. suit; Captain Bill OLeary had all the fair ones falling off the benches Bridgeport coDper's suit of blue with the word Bridgeport across the breast Bill went everybody one bet ter by having ''36'' sewed on the front. Can't get ahead of the blonde ser- geant; Joe Flint sported a Yale Law pants, and blue Jersey. There was an ''N'' on the blue surface. so let it go for Niagara: Joe Bowling was at tired in Yannigan Jersey. grey pants ana wore a req DdLQlnS cap, Johnson looked fit in Loco suit. There must have been some magnetism in that suit for Harry had three chances in the outfield to stop balls, every one of them rolling among the autos. It looked like a break down bounding pill. He generally ended up with a siesta under the machines. Joe LindIey borrowed an Oriole suit while Dick Dunn had everything that goes to make up a regular baseball player. Dunn's suit was a reminder Of the days of the Old Crescents.
 The suits of the Danbury boys were not half bad. Most of them appear ing in the borrowed uniforms of one club Some of those boys must have learned how to play in correspond ence school And don't forget Artie Krom who led the brigade with the green Kellys.
 The game started off in big league style with Ernie Lush as the officiat- ing gent with the indicator. "Silk" O'Loughlin had nothing on Ernie. Lush had a little fun for himself call ing strikes on Bowling, Musante and Donnelly. He made the big hit though when he waved Fritz Musante from the field for disputing a called strike. With Musante out of the game what would the E1ks have done? There was a little confab on the side lines between Manager Arch McNeil and his advisers with the result that a little bill was showed at Lush. Musante was permitted to continue in the game, and the greenback went resting in Lusf's pocket.
 Danbury started off with a rush, Mcdonald. the first man. meeting the rotund with the swish of his bat It went to left field where Johnson stop ped it. Elm Donne1ly showed that he still retained his wing, getting McDon- aid a mile off second when he at- tempted to steal.
 Bridgeport went after Pitcher Girard like a thousand bricks When they had completed the first inning six men had batted, there was but one hit. that by Donnelly, but three runs had SCOT ed. It was the same in the second,
