The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-08-30

One of those freaks which occur in baseball now and then happened in the third inning of the first game, the session in which the Mechanics won the game. On the records but one man goes down with a time at bat, though seven men strode to the plate. Bases on balls and sacrifice hits and flies did it.
 Havel tried the hide the ball trick on Crook in the second inning of the closing game, but Crook was wise to chased him down to second on a sac rifice. Havel had covered first on the put out, putting the ball up his sleeve. Crook made the bluff that he was not wise to the move and took a lead off second. Havel made a dash for the bag, but Crook being wise was there ahead of the trickster, much to the Iatter's discomforture.
 Though Cy Miller has not done much all season to have his name connected with the present standing of the club, he is easily the hard luck hitter of the league. The players know his ability and lay for his drives stealing many a hit. Just to show how he has been hitting them, look at that robbery of Almeida's in the first inning of the second game. If
 the hit had been just @ few inches to the side, it would surely have been a two bagger, and the three runners
 would have scored. Giving credit to
 Miller for this hard luck stuff, he has
 not been robbed of enough hits to have a reduction in his average of .295 for last year to his present stand
 ing.
 Rufiange let his temper get the bet
 ter of his judgment yesterday and
 was banished from the game. It was in the fifth inning of the second game
 when Rufe was hit on the digits by one of Swanson's swift shoots. Rufe after throwing his hand about in the
 breezes trotted for first. He had only taken a few steps when something prompted him to turn about. In the
 turn around he noticed that Hart mo- toned him to get back to his position at the plate. This was really too much for Rufe as he felt all hit up.
 He let out a few choice terse throb-
 ping words and for doing so got his conge He went to the bench while
 Joe Connor pleaded with Hart to re-
 consider. Going to the bench Connor
 took Rufe by the arm and led him to the plate. There they pleaded
 with Hart to reconsider his banish- ment. but Hart was obdurate. Rufe told Hart that he thought his finger
 was broken, that he had a wife and child to support, and that they would have to go hungry. Before going back to the bench for second time Rufe
 transfixed the ump with a look which conveyed the dual emotion of pity and indignation. Hart acted right in his putting Rufe out of the game. The dark visaged Aviator catcher's curse was let out so that everybody on the field could hear him. After Rufe was -.~ for a doctor When there was no re-
 sponse to his calls he shouted "Aint there no doctor in the stand" He got the answer, 'He needs a barber not a doctor.''
 Stankard sent up freak foul fly during the course of the second game Tn getting out of the way of a swift inshoot from Swanson, Stankard but fed the round end of the bat, near the handle, into the ball. The glance sent the pill into the air. Kocher stood behind the plate as if nothing occurred, then took heed to the calls of the players. He caught the ny without unmasking.
 On the very day that President Tracy raises his suspension, Manager Tom Connery of Hartford is put out of the game Yesterday at New Ha- ven he SlO6Q WlIH GldycT ISCuS Wue insulted Umpire Ebner and was chas- ] cd. But that was not all. Owner Clarkin of the Senators jumped from | the stand and also became mixed 1T the argument. What Tracy will dc | is not known, as the fracas tooH place in New Haven. If it had beer | in New Britain, everybody would have | known long ago.
 srRed" Waller fooled them all, by I getting back into the fray. Red hac | to do something to get his name 1T | tyne again. There was on nigh | when he went unmentioned.
 New Britain does not look like cham pion timber, though they appear bet l ter than the Mechanics. Their stead! I gait has had hold on them, not play jng-Withl-that dash of a few week
