Had Good Support All the Way i
Third Straight Win.
In his first appearance in the lineup
of his team on the home grounds Man
ager Jack o Hara staged a scene yes
terday that readily convinced the 600
or more who were present that the two
shutouts scored by the team on sue
cessive days ON foreign diamonds were
not the result of chance. He and his
team, with Chief Snyder, four years al
pitcher for Bridgeport in the old Con
nectlcut league, on the slab, beat
- Jimmy Burns and his fast going
TurnstIles, 8 to /, after Jimmy
had been given a start of four runs.
1t was all the sweeter to come from
behind after even the most faithful
and those filled to the brim with optim-
ism had lost hope.
To all appearances Chief Snyder
took his job at the start as joke. In
any event the Turnstiles compiled
three runs in the first and did it
quickly. After that tile chief tighten
ed and gave good account of him
self. 4-a
In the first inning Grantield
threw low on Ryan s rap. Muir
ray singled to left. Crowell sac
rihced. Manager Burns, who had a
bad day at the bat, bounded one i'll
front of the plate and Delaney touched
him out. Yale, following the custom
he acquired years ago in the Connec-
ticut league, singled to right, Ryan
scoring. Yale and Murray worked q
double steal easily, Murray scoring.
Martin singled TO left. Then Snyder
uncorked two wild pitches and Yale
scored before Cawley struck out.
There was nothing cheerful about
the outlook from the Islanders view
point, especially after Brattleboro fill
ed the bases .iA..thes. tiLstt. With two out,
and Johnston flied to center. ~ Right
here be it mentioned that Jennings is
sued seven passes in five innings and
only one of them counted against him,
fer only two very scratchy hits in the
first four innings. IN which six of the
seven passes were issued. were all that
could be scared up to go with them.
In the fourth Brattleboro shunted off
a run by fast work. CaWley and Jen-
| nings were on first and second as the
result Of passes with one out when

! snapped it to Johnston at second, who
easily caught Jennings off the bag.
