 that the visitors were outclassed. The visitors went out in one, two, three fashion in the opening, Cabelus fore ing J. Devanney and Cunningham to whiff and threw out Havens at first. It looked as if the locals would dent the pan in the first inning when, after J. Souney had received a free ticket, Ca belus hit for two sacks but slow work on part of the husky catcher caused his retirement at third when the ball was returned A moment later 1 Ca- belus was put out on a neat throw by McGann to Ravens. Howly ended the inning by hitting the air thrice. The visitors were easy victims to Cah7lus' slants in the second frame. New Brit ain sent three runners over the dish in the third stanza on timely hitting bv w. Souney and Officer Blinn who contributed two baggers, a base on balls and an error, registering three taIlies. Some of the steam was taken out of the invaders by this grand work Tn the third inning the Capitol City aggregation broke into the hit column when Havens secured single after two were out, but the best Queenin could do was to take three long whiffs at the ball and then grab his glove and retire to the outer gar den. The home representatives scored once in the fourth without a hit being made, errors placing O'Mara and w. Souney on the paths, the former work ing his way around and scoring when Queenin foolishly threw the ball wild after catching Blinn's fly. The locals finished the scoring in the sixth in ming with three tallies, on nits by Howley and Hart and screechlng three bagger by Officer Blinn.
 They Finally Scored.
 The visitors first tallies came iu the fifth inning when three hits coupled bv errors by O'Mara chased two runs over the platter and again in the seventh after Halloran had walked McGann hit for two sacks both SCOT ing a, moment later, Halloran when J. souney allowed one of Cabelus' twisters to elude him and McGann while J. Devanney was being disposed of by the W. Souney-Howley route. With the Hartford crowd lead by "Noodles' Hahn frantically yelling for their favorites to start something, Cunningham ended the game whiting.
 Good 'Umpiring.
 Judge w. F. Mangan and Officer Larry Lacey held down the umpire berths, both filling the job satisfac- tory. There was little kick coming over the work of the arbiters, once when the Hartford crowd tried to put something over on Larry they got caught at it.
 At the close of the game the play CTS and fans journeyed to Bardeck's s hall where luncheon was served. Dur ing the course of the meal, songs were rendered by "The Angry Mob," lead by Charles Johnson and Dan Lanpher. If there was any old-time melody that was not "tried'' then, were never heard of. The usual mel ody that accompanies similar events l was the outcome of the efforts of the gang to warble. If they had only let Charles Johnson sing alone, everybody would have enjoyed it much better. The sweet tenor voice l of Mosey King in "Silver Threads | Among the Gold,'' was at all times audible, and the popular policeman l in his modest manner retired to the region of the faucet at the conclu- sion. However, he was prevailed upon 1 to "deliver a speech" which he did in the King manner. Others who helped make the occasion a happy 1 one by witty speeches and stories were "Herb'' Lyon, Charles Mccarthy Gus Hellberg and Jack OLeary. l Through an oversight no one called upon Tony Walencius Supey Nedta or Horny Mercure for remarks. The trio lead their earnest attention to the festive board during the on- slaught on the Dutch menu, prepared by Harry Hall.
 Others who favored with remarks
 were Chairman Babcock, Commis- sioner Moran, Clerk Magnell, Ser geant Hart Captain Souney, Manager Kerin of this city and Sergeant Thom- as, Officer Lacey and members of the baseball team. Tommy Devanney | greatly obliged members of the press present, by letting them in on a little l secret, when he said it was to add to the joy of the day, that the Hartford cops allowed the locals to defeat l them. Prominent guests at the lunch con were Mayor Quigley, Safety Com l n1issioners Steele and Moran, Chief Pitt of the Middletown fire depart l nent Fire Commissioners Horace B. | al TT1 TJo,
