This game win bs the second of a series of throe which the teams are playing, Wauregan hav- ing won the first game. lt will be remembered that at the close of tho Eastern Connecticut league series the two teams were tied, and that it was necessary to arrange for @ new series. 1t was decided that the team winning two out of three games played Wogld receive the championship, SO that if Wauregan wins today the chgnpion- ship will be decided. The game will be watched with much local interest. and 1t is expected that an extra large crowd will be present when the teams clash. The Taftville battery will be Lazinsk and Murphy and the battery for Wauregan will be Marland and Brunston.

socKALExIs A PERUVIAN.
Once Famous Athlete Not the Physi
 cal Wonder of Old.


 Sockalexis, one time the big league sensation in baseballdom, is now run ntfing a little ferry on the Penobscot river. near the village of Oldtown. Me. He is not the Sockalexis of old. His step Is not firm. although there is still that hint of steel-spring muscles that gave him once the name of 'Deerfot of the Diamond"
 Thirteen years ago Sockalexis was magic name. The history of the famous Cleveland player, who played under Patsy Tebeau. was common knowledge, but so quickly does fame pass that today he is seldom spoken of among ball players or patrons of the game.
 Sockalexis, when asked the other day what he thought of the present game, said:
 T was just reading the account of the double-header between Jimmy Callahan's White Sox and the Boston team. I was sorry to see Jimmy lose the two games. remember when I played with Holy Cross we met the Springfield team. At that time Cslla : hans was the pitcher for Springfield. and my real start in baseball was in | that game. I made three twobaggers of his delivery, and Jimmy was son1e pitcher, too.

 The crying game can be laid to Bal tis not Plainfeld, when a manager will deliberately tell a false1ood in regards to agreement made at The Bulletin office July 29, and try to pro- test game on same. I would call that crying. As for luck, out of five 1uns made, three for Baltic on errors, two for Plainfeld earned runs by timely hits
 Nothing exciting about the game but hits from Plainf1eld were more than Baltic made; hits, 13 for Plainf1eld. for Baltic

Before the three quarters, Myrtle Baron had again taken the lead and held it to the wire, winning by half a length.
 Baron A. got away in the lead in every heat of the 2.15 pace and held it to the finish. W. L. Snow showed some admirable head work with Major Odell, landing second after getting away in the rear in every heat.

GAMBLE MAY LOSE SIGHT.
Hammers Golf Ball to See What
 Makes 1t Resilient.

Horace G. Gamble, professional at the golf grounds of the Athletic Club of Philadelphia, may lose his eye sight as the result of the explosion of a golf ball with which he was experi- mentlng.
 Gamble started on a round of the course with D. c. Clegg. They were using a golf ball of English manufac- ture, which had been sent to Gamble to get his opinion on it. The ball was extremely lively much livelier than the ordinary golf ball. Gamble and MT Clegg returned to the clubhouse to investigate. They screwed the ball fast in a vice and Gamble struck it with a hammer
 There was a sharp explosion, the ball was shattered and the liquid with which 1t was filled flew in Gambles eyes. Gamble was placed in an auto mobile and rushed to a local specialist, where 1t was discovered that the acid placed in the ball to give it life had burned Gamble's eyeballs. He is still in a dark room, and 1t will not be known for some days if the sight can be saved.
