The Mechanics slugged their way to victory in the last four games of the week just past. After dropping two contests, mainly through inability to connect, the locals seemed possessed with an unseemingly desire to connect with the sphere. They have played eight games todate winning six. In the last four contests they have made two and onehalf times as many hits as they did in the first four

RANK FIELDING BY SOUTH
 ENDS LOST GAME.

Pitcher IIavenfeldts of the South Ends held the Ansonias to two hits and famed 12 men Saturday at New field park, but he was given wretched support by his team mates, the visit ors winning 5-4. The South Ends hit Lennhoff, the Ansonia pitcher for half a dozen safe drives, three of them good for extra bases, yet they could not seem to produce the runs. Though the visitors piled up errors, none of them were as costly as their opponents. The contest had a rather late start, because of the Middletown ;,nd Bridgeport High school game. The score by innings:
