That game between Hartford and New
Haven in the Eastern association should
go on record as being the longest game
Of the season. But very few contests in
the history of the game have been pro-
longed more innings than this 23-inning
encounter. Both pitchers, Jensen and
Geist, stayed the entire length, Jensen
weakened in the last inning, passing two
men, which cost the game. The feature
OF the game was the batting Of Pope,
the New Haven shortstop, who secured
six hits out of nine times up. The game

greatest weaknesses with his team is the
lack Of reliable pitchers. "Matty," he
says, lis pitching as good ball as ever
IN his career. which is saving a good |

est of the Giant pitchers have shown
tendency towards steadiness lately, and
his wobbly tendency is worrying me-"
