Dumb Play in Ninth Ends Cane
 With Three on Base.

After pit-a-patting along for eight innings in the wake of Bridgeport the New Britain club swooned into uncsonsciousness at the ninth switch and lost it's last opportunity to tie the game on a play that had flow ing beard when Henry Chadwick, the father of baseball, was considered tl1e village cut-up. After scuffling, puffing and arguing for two hours and twenty minutes Bridgeport was awarded the decision on points, to 8.
 It waSA%a narrow squeak on the part of Jake Boultes and if New Brit ain had used the slightest amount of common sense the game might have. resulted otherwise and the pen that is now dripping forth these crabby comments might have brighter tale to tell.
 With the two out and three on bases in the ninth inning and old reliable Paddy Greene picking out his bat the New Britain base run ners entered on their second child hood. Catcher Kerns threw to Stow. Dawson, who was on second, raced for third and Tetreault, who was on third, made a dash for the plate. Stow returned the ball to Kerns and the game was over, Tetreault being tagged out. Some claim the faulty base running was due to the coaching of "Bilr' Scinski at third. What ever the reason for the lurid exhi- bftion, 1t proved costly as the ma jority of fans went home firmly con- vinced that if. the New Britain bunch ever knew any baseball it forgot it long ago.
 't''Pete" Wilson started to pitch for New Britain. but threw up his job in the fourth inning after he had been touched for ten hits. had given three passes and had made two crazy keaves. Paddy" Greene. went in as understudy and allowed but two hits for the rest of the game. Greene performed brilliantly at the bat and swatted the ball over the center field fence in the eighth inning for a home run. Greene has now established a precedent and it Is hoped that other ambitious club wielders will emulate him.
 After Walsh had given up eight hits and two bases on balls he was derricked. He abdicated in the fourth and Williams took up his task with the bases full.
 Bridgeport Starts Early.
 A base on balls and four clean singles gave Bridgeport a lead of four runs in the first. New Britain was hlanked in the opening session but grabbed back fifty per cent. of that lead in the second with the assistance of four hits. After Bridgeport had been disposed of in the third, New Britain edged one run closer Moves walked. stole second, went to third on a put out and was ushered home on Tetreault's single
 Invaders Pluck Five More.
 Boultes decided that another flock of runs was needed in the fourth and the net result was five. In this session the visitors went clean around the ;katting list and four more swats with a base on balls by Wilson and another by2 Greene ended their scoring.
 Senno Cuts Down Two Bagger.
 Two was the best Scinski's men could do in their half although they had a million chances. Jones drew a pass and Luby got a life when Stow booted his drive, Jones taking second. Tetreault responded with his third hit and moved the runners up a peg. Dawson slashed to right and Jones scored. Zelmer landed on one that started out on a line to meet the cop near the hole in the left field fence By almost superhuman speed Senno caught it. Luby scored on Egans sacrifice fly to center.
 Victory in Sight-Team Goes Blind.
 Came the eighth inning when Greene rapped the ball out of the en- closure. Then the ninth with its near victory. Jones singled and went to second when Tferney dropped Lubys line fly. Luby was forced at second by Tetreault. Dawson was safe on an error by Aubrey. Zeimer pushed Tetreault and Dawson along with a sacrifice and Egan was passed. It was at this juncture that the Kerns-Stow combination rang down the curtain.
 After the fifth inning Egan played under a handicap. In that frame he stopped with his neck on the first bound a wild pitch by Greene. He was nearly out and lay on the grass for a few moments.
 An unusual double play was made In the third by Ziemer, Luby and
