He had given him leave of absence for few days, Lut the time has overlapped and the "Rube' has not yet shown up, por has McCann heard from him.
 Manager McCann in sending in his list to Secretary O'Rourke today be- sides noting Pollard's suspension also cited the suspensions of Pitcher Artie Roemer, Outflelder J. Stuart Wisler and Infielder Coley Miller. Roemer it is stated is twirling independent ball around New York. Wisler wrote to McCann at the beginning of the training season that he would not re- port because of illness in the family, but would be around about May 1st.

GREAT RALLY IN EIGHTH
 CAUSED FANS TO SHOUT
Ii Sure Looked Then That We'd Win 0ut-. But ZeIIer's zaps the Sphere Did CIout and in Inning g We Went Down
 and Out

"fhe best of teams have an off day." said one of the fans returning from the game at Steeplechase yes- terday, and those about him agreed The Mechanics got off with a poor start with Springfield yesterday at the Island, losing 10 to 2, though they made great stab to win the contest in the eighth inning, when they climbed into tie with the Ponies The latter rallied in the ninth carry ing off the bacon. As Bridgeport won three of her games last week by sen- sational rallies, what's the use of kicking. We are still in first place anyway, and according to the wise ones, unless Halley's comet works something in sideways, we'll be there by a more comfortable margin at the end of the week.
 Curses. this is the second time Jack Zeller's outfit has stuck it to us. We'll get you yet Jack. Teller needs those games more so than we do, and for that reason he ran in Murray Parker again to heave 'em over. There was one satisfaction, Murray was ditched in the eighth, when the Me chanics tied the score.
 The Mechanics are so used to play ing on a good field, while the Ponies
 
 kind of back lot, having trained at Asbury Park, no wonder they won. The players, both sides, especially the outfielders, were kicking about the condition of the field.
 The Ponies grabbed half Nelson in the first when they got away with four runs. In this inning Upham walked two men, two were hit with the ball, two hit safely and two errors accounted for the quartet of tallies. The Mechanics got one back on a walk, steal and Ladds hit Two hits counted another for the Ponies in the third, and also for the Mechanics in the same inning. Three hits in succession produced the sixth Springfield score. The locals made 1t three in the seventh on hits by Bail ey, Ladd and Miller. We tied up in the eighth when Parker walked Steinhauser, who batted for Upham. Hall also walked. A wild throw by Ensign placed Steiny on third from where he scored when Eley 0ncorked two baser to center.
 At this junction Parker was yank- ed out of the game. along with Catcher Ensign. Leonard threw Hall out at the plate on Kustus' tap. He looked safe but Fahey said no. Bailey walked filling the bases. Eley and Kustus scored when Ladd hit for his fourth single of the game to right field. As Barbour was rather slow in returning the ball. Bailey came

 It was simply awful yesterday the way the Ponies fielded the Mechanic s drives. There seemed to be a man in front of every hit. How can they win with that sort of playing" said one of the 1oyalists.
 That catch of Bridgeport Miller on the third corner was a scream. Man aeer McCann should raise his salary for it certainly saved the day for his team.-Waterbury Democrat.

SPLENDID PITCHING BY CLUNN BEAT
 THE WATERBURYS
Immense Crowd Saw Home Team Take Excellently
 Played Game

Before 5000 fans at Newfie1d Sat urday, which number would have been greater if the weather was more favorable, the Mechanics shut out the Waterburys in a hair raising contest. To. The win gave them lead of two games in the league standing. Full credit for the win should be team. "Chalky' Clunn had his curves breaking just right, the visitors plac- ing their bats where the ball ain't. He gave but two hits, walked one, and famed 10. He was held up in faultless style by Pat McCauley, who tempted to steal second, and whose brilliant throw to Hall in the second, that player relaying to Miller caught Monaghan, at third base. It was a great piece of work
 The best the Waterbury sluggers could do was to rap out two hits, one of them safe bunt by Bannister, upon which Miller had run up ex- pecting to receive an easy tap, but the ball went into Halls territory. Mcdonald had been on first when this bunt was attempted, but when he Hall and Stowe. Bannister was also heaving a masterly game. allowing but three hits, two of which came in the lucky" seventh.
 Tn the seventh, Skipper" Hey started with a clean drive to center field, followed up by brilliant steal of second. Kustus in his attempt to kill the ball popped to Miller. The signal was given to walk Bailey, but instead BanniSter sunk the ball into his ribs. When Rogers let Hi Ladd' s teasing drive get into the outfield, Eley skipped home with the first and only count of the game. Rogers walked in the ninth for Waterbury, but Pat McCauley turned him back trying to purIoin second. The score by innings:

With the all-Connecticut reliability contest Friday and Saturday there is every indication that the run will prove to be what the Automobile Club of Hartford expected when it first considered the project-one of the most important events in the years auto mobile history. The different legs of the 600-mile course have been gone over by pathfinding cars and the dis tances measured and satisfactory di- rections secured. The difficult task of marking the entire route so care fully that they who run may read and not stray from the right way will be done in a few days. and the checking stations and other features of the de- attended to.
 Much has already been said about the condition of the roads and there is no getting around the fact that the cars that start put to make perfect scores are not going to have an easy time. The hills of Connecticut are pic turesque and beautiful, but they also make hard climbing and the roads of Connecticut, although they are prob ably not so bad as they have been painted by many who have written and talked on the subject, still present difficulties that are not found in the we'll paved city streets.
 The first days run lies through the northwestern part of the State and in- cludeS the famous Litchfield hills. Some of the roads were in a dreadful state when the pathfinder car went over the course last week. and in fact one change in the route has been made as a result of the difficulties presented by the muddy and narrow highway between East Hartford and Barkham- sted, the revised course will run north from East Hartland to Hartland Hol- low, going down the long hill that was the terror of the endurance run held by the auto club last year. This change will make practically no differ ence in the mileage.
 The course of the first days run is as follows: Hartford. Windsor. Wind sor Locks. Suffield. West Suffield, East Granby. Granby, West Granby. East HartlanG. Barkhamsted New Hartford, Winsted. West Winsted, Norfolk. West Norfolk. East Canaan station. Canaan. South Canaan. Falls

$500 FIRE IN
 MIDDLE STREET

Fire did damage amounting to about $500 in the new building in Middle St. erected by c. s. Flames, the plumber. only a few doors south of fire head quarters, shortly after o'clock last night. The fire started in a can of sweepings in the printing shop of The Taft Press and although the blaze found it's way to the roof and into the plant of the Pollack Spool Cotton Co. the damage was kept down to a min- imum by the use of chemicals. Not a form was pied in the plant of the Taft Press. The firemen deserve much credit for the close range fighting they were obliged to do with the small chemical streams. The Bridgeport News Go. occupied the ground floor of the structure but suffered no dam- age.
