BETTER BATTING
 BY WATERBURY EXPLAINS DEFEAT
Mechanics Found Bannister Stumbling Block at Times Gibbs Had One Bad Inning When 6 Runs We're Tailed
 Against Him

At Waterbury yesterday the Finne- gans took a "A trouble fest from the Mechanics. Both clubs, fighting for the top rung. battle thrice more this week. tomorrow in Waterbury. Thurs day here. and Saturday again at Films villa For the first time this season Manager McCann sent some other beaver besides Red Waller or Chalky Clunn to oppose the FInnegans. Fred die Gibbs was the gunner selected to do the work. and in the fourth inning six runs were tallied by the home team. The Waterbury Republicans says of the game:
 A young man by the name of Gibbs, who. according to Bridgeport fans. is a member of the best twirling staff that ever struck the huckleberry belt. essayed to stop the Finnegans yester- duay at Reidvilie. In all but one in ming he pitched good ball. but in that one, the fourth. he did a modern aero plane stunt and when he came back to earth. six Finnegans had spiked the plate. more than enough runs to win.
 Opposed to Gibbs was Bannister. He allowed but five hits and in five of the nine innings only the regulation num- Der of Mechanics faced him. He was in trouble in the first and fifth innings and gave three bases on balls, but he settled down in the pinches.
 A crowd of 5000 enthusiastic fans saw the game, which was full of good plays. The spectators included sev- eral hundred Bridgeporters. The crowd was fairly good-natured but it was out for victory and the decisions of Umpire Lawtcn were decidedly un- popular. 1t had been hoped that Su- peryisor Kennedy would send Bobby Hart to umpire the contest between the two scrappy teams.
 Hart was not sent and Lawton was bad. Both sides expressed their opin- ions of him rather forcibly Hi Ladd, who in one contest at Rockville this year. got four hits off Sandy, did not see first yesterday. although the last time up he was called out at first on a questionable decision by the um- pire.
 The crowd began to root hard when Kustus stepped to the plate in the first inning. The third ball pitched went on a line along the right field foul line and Kustus rested on second He took third on Nallin's out at first. Crooks drew a pass and on Ladd's out at first Kustus scored and Crooks took second. Stowe reached first on Hearne's error and Crooks third. Stowe started for second on the next ball. Connaughton took the throw from Ahearn and lined it back Crooks apparently was out by a big margin but Lawton called him safe.
 Waterbury scored it's first run in the third on Nallin's huff of Ahearn's high fly Bannister's sacrifice and Rodg- CTS line drive to center for a base.

of slumping it is a sure bet the Finne- gans from Waterbury will be on hand to fight for the leading honors. This team has played a queer game. It held the lead for short time, but whenever it reached the high mark it would start losing and tumble out Of the first chair, New Haven has been playing in a lot of good luck. The pitchers having gotten a fine start, kept the nine among the leaders, but during the past three weeks the box men have not been quite up to the standard and the rest of the nine was unable to do much with the stick and this is the cause of the present slump. Just now Hartford and Springfield are both closing in close on the locals heels and right after these two az gregations comes Dan ONeil and his Cuban outfit. Since Dan took charge of the Hardware city team they have during the past month have made rapid strides toward the top of the ladder. He has the nine working fine and at their present clip look good for show, or at the very best a place in the first division. Every team in circuit has held down first place some time during the race, with the excep- ton of the Cubans. The fight, up to date has been a corker and has kept the fans on edge from the start. Each team is playing good ball with the ex- ception of HolyOke who seem to be lone contender for the cellars posi- ton.
 Anything is liable to happen before the close of the season that would give some of the other clubs chance to overhaul sthe Mechanics. But the work of Springfield. Hartford and New Haven has been too varied to make them seem like pennant winners.

(New Haven Register.)
 With practically the halfway mark reached in the Connecticut league. the race in the organization is beginning to so shape itself as to give the fans a very good idea as to which teams will fight it out for the pennant hon. ors. Of course, there may be an up- set among the present leaders before the finish of the season, but Judging from the class of ball certain clubs have been playing it now appears that picking Bridgeport. Waterbury and possibly New Britain would not be such a bad guess as to the probable finish of the leaders.
 Gene McCann has his Mechanics team going along at grand pace ever since the start of the season. They have a wonderful baseball ma chine, for that matter, 1t ranks among the finest that has ever represented a Connecticut league club. McCann has been more fortunate than the other managers around the circuit in re- gard to landing first class men. He has an elegant inheld and the addition of Crooks has instilled a lot of life and ginger into the play of the inner guard Stowe and Hall, the two youngsters, have had a fine season so far and with 8 man of Kocher's ability behind the bat, the pitchers are sure to receive the finest support. The pitchers rank among the best in the league and Tn the s0ntfield McCann has a trio of hard hitters and excel lent fly gathers. Just at present the Bridgeport team seems to have the call over the rest of the bunch and unless they strike an unexpected slump should finish in their present position. Should the Mechanics show any signs

The Mechanics runs were earned the one in the seventh as mentioned and one by Kustus in the first Joe had sing led, advanced to second on Nallin's sacrifice, to third on Crooks infield out and tallied on Ladd's single to center. Two two baggers by the Larks in the fifth scored their lone tally.
 With Hall on second and Kocher on first in the seventh and Clunn at bat, the signal was given for the hit and run. With the wind up by Tenn pie, both runners were off. Clunn let swing his bat, the sphere sailing on line to deep left center. Schwartz mier, who played a pretty game dur ing the afternoon, made a great run ming catch, managed by pretty throw to get the ball back to Burns at second before Hall. Burns relay ing to Yale, beating out Kocher. com- pleting the first triple play of the season. The score:

Hearne sent an easy grounder to Stowe. who tried to cut off Miller at the plate. Miller scored easily and Hoover and Crozier scored when Ahearn bounded a swift one off Dusty Miller's shine for two bases. Hearne and Ahearn counted on Bannister's single to right Rodgers sacrificed Bannister to second and Connaughton sent him in with a single through CrOoks. Hoey ended the swatfest by hitting into a. double play, Stowe to Hall to Crooks.
 The Mechanics immediately proceed ed to make the score a. little closer. Hall opened with a single and took second when Connaughton threw Kocher out at first Gibbs singled to left, scoring Hall. Kustus was thrown out by Bannister. but Gibbs scored when Hoover failed to handle Nallin' s grounder cleanly The score:

Interest is on the wane in the Fac tory league now that the Yosts have
 wrested the lead from the Birdseye- Somers team. The race had simmer ed down to fight between these two clubs. Up to Saturday they had new CT met before this season. Up to that day the Corset Makers had enjoyed an unbroken slate of victories, while the Yosts had met but one defeat, that sustained the club bearing their name, while the regular team was in Ilion, N. Y., playing the club of the Remington Typewriter Go. Saturday the two clubs met in two contests, the Yosts taking both. The first game was a walk away 13-7, but in the getting away with a Az victory.

 The Industrial league magnates have a dispute to handle, the result of mix up in the second game of the double bill offered by the Warner Bros and American & British Go. teams. The A. & B. boys had turned in a 11-7 victory in the first game. By agreement the second contest was to have gone but five innings. When that limit was reached, the score stood a tie at 2-2. Both teams fought desperately not run crossing the plate for the next six innings when the game was called because of dark ness. In the tenth Langhammer of the Warner Bros. managed to get around to third on his hit and errors. When the A. & B. catched worked in a passed ball, Langhammer raced home. The catcher pulled the ball from among the feet of the crowd and put it on Langhammer before he crossed the pan. The ump called him out, following which Manager Noonan of the Warner Bros. protested the game. The scores:

When Cy Miller crashed a hit to center in the seventh followed by a sacrifice by Jimmy Hall and a lucky bingle in back of first by Brad, on which Miller scored, it marked the winning run of a brilliant 2-1 battle by the Mechanics over the Northamn- ton crowd Saturday at NewfieId. "Chalky" Clunn who returned from his home in Millville, N. J., was do- ing the mound duty for the residents. He had his splitter working in slick form, the Larks being unable to con meet when they needed the necessary bingle. He allowed ten hits. but frightened up when the invaders were

 morrow will close the eastern play of the Red Sox and if they can go west
 ahead of the New YorkeB it is ex- pected that the second place will be clinched. Last week the Red Sox
 won five and lost two games. They
 have won 20 out of 27 games since June 28 and today the team is in better shape than it has been all sea- son. Second Basemen Gardner and
 Mcconnell and Pitcher Joe Wood are
 all expected to get into the game be- fore the weeks end. There was a slight slump in batting last week, Speaker, Lewis, Stahl and Lord all having fallen off but all are there

 baseball will have to be played by the Highlanders to hold their narrow

through with flying colors.
 We get a good pitcher without hav- l ing to give any of the men playing with the club. Manager McCann had l strings on ShortstOp CO1vin and "BiH' | Bailey, and as Hartford was sorely in need of infielders he traded both to | that club for Pitcher Ivor Swanson. Colvin showed up in Hartford Satur- | day working in the two games against | New Haven.
 Swanson will be a most valued ad- dition to the local staff, which is with Ia peer in the league. Glad to get fhim away from Hartford, as Ivor has l been a consistent Mechanic stumbling block. Besides being a good gunner, Swanson is terror with the old hickory. He has batted for .260 in 29 games, making 20 hits, seven of l which have been two basers and two triples.
 Hall, besides getting two of the five
 hits off Bannister, played whirlwlnd fielding game He made one error but he killed several bids for hits. Stowe also played a great game. That com bination of little fellows looks pretty good.-Waterbury Republican. James H. O'Rourke plans to catch one league game this season to round cut thirty-nine years in the game and to do the same thing next year, when he will retire. He will catch for the New Haven team, as Jerry Connell is in the outfield and an effort will be made to have Hi Ladd play in the game and get Frank McPartlin to pitch and Frank Connaughton to cov- CT second. Sid Challenger, the old est living scorer, will officiate with
 pad and pencil.-Hartford Courant. Irxy'' mi the Larks Saturday every time they threatened to do things They had
 men left on bases in every inning but the seventh. Chalky was going so we'll that it was almost next to inn possible to work in a hit when he wanted to get in and work. He had the Larks popping up everything. Bill Luby had great chances to
 break up the game Saturday, but was not there. In the third with three
 on, and but one down, Bills foul flied
 to Crooks In the fifth, with Newton on second, the Lark leader famed, and in the ninth, when Yale was cavorting about second. following his two bagger, Bill grounded to Hall, making the last put out of the game. Luby, though, came back yester-
 day. With his single in the game against New Haven he drove home Williams rom second Tn the IlrSt ln- ming with the only run of the game, winning for the Larks.
