l If you did not attend the baseball
 @ne at the Ellis street diamond yes~
 day afternoon, and the question was
 to you regarding 8 player who in
 ree times at the bat had driven out HEM Q three base wa1lops and home
 seven runs, what would be your
 inion be? No doubt it would be
 at the player who had put in an af-
 rnoon in that manner had done a
 Setty fine days work, and was en- #@led to the bulk of the credit for the
 Hctory. Of course why not? So say we
 so make it unanimous. In speak Ng in this vein the above mentioned
 Aedit belongs to the that sturdy Hsz ung athlete Billy Dudack, the pre- # Ter hurler of the Pioneers who in a
 me against the M. B. Schenk team M Meriden, champions of the Silver kg, accomplished this notable feat, sSHsides pitching one of the best brands #M baseball that he has ever shown at 8#e local grounds which in itself is Ewing something. Coming to this
 y with the view of adding the Ha1ps of the Pioneers to their already
 ng list of victims, the Meridenites
 turned home last evening a sadder z8 d wiser lot, with a ' to 1 defeat ##lring them in the face.
 M The visitors were easily the clos s aggregation that Manager Conlin
 MS boked this season, and good
 ed crowd was on hand to witnes the y,1a al Io, l ,,E sSns from the Philadelphia of Connec- M Ut, the fair sex included. The
 me was somewhat delayed on the SEe arrival of the visitors and the
 me lads spent the time getting the S#ge for the hard battle that they an- 2 ipated. Two features were salient M the writer, i.e., the many persons @ the grounds who has passed those N# #ergetic young men at the entrance 5 thout the paying the usual ante. In
 stice to the management of the Pi- @ eer team it may be said that al- M Mough the past season has not been M profitable as in the past, the same Efforts to secure teams which would #ave the people of New Britain an af- #Fnoon's sport at reasonable price M admission has been in evidence at 9# times. Of course, there is no com M lsfon about those ''sheling out' a %#W cents, but the team can not pros E on the inVigOrating air that is to a found in the south end of the city, M ither do any of the players look as |H they needed the exercise for their
 @ alth. The other objectionable fea- 3# re is the practice of a gang or Mbodlums gathering at the grounds MNld making themselves obnoxious to ga 8e people who have paid their way. z Yesterday the writer had the occasion 3 be seated back of first base and S8 hen six or seven young E'roughs" who KY their language (and much of it H5i as too filthy and nauseating to lis
 n n to) lined themselves up and in a @ dricous manner tried to make them Elves apear funny. Drawing a pack @& tive work cards from his pocket She loud mouthed leader began to star M little game, incidentally instill some Mf his alleged comedy into it. A num- sSer of ladies sitting close by to the @gang' were no doubt embarrassed by Nhe foul talk, and it would have been # commedable act if some of the Sodng men close by had given these @oung ''freshies'' a good strong punch sHl the jaw. This is some of the ele- Mhent that can be found not exhibiting 8#ae admission card, anywhere on their #erson.
 @ The game itself was a clean fast @attle one the gripping exciting kind, where scintillating plays predomina- Ned The outfielders on the home @eam had but little to do, Steve Du- Hack and Bltnn however took care of Everything that came their way The @ormer pulled down a spiral drive the %ighth inning which was the feature For the visitors Lyons, the peppery @econd baseman, was the bright star Elf the day for that club. At shortsor syas an old friend of New Britain fans zn the hey-day of Connecticut league baseball, George Dunlop, and while his playing may be fit for semi-pro- baseball it ends there. To prove that Dunlop is sti1 g. busher Noonan pull #ed that old time drop the ball stunt n order to trap a runner on base, and aDunIOp was the "sucker," racing from SBecond to third only to have Billy NClancy slap the old pill on him for ar R RBasy out.
 8 Manager Conlin has from time tC Stin3e made several changes in his cluI Swith the view of stren gthening it, bu Fit is doubtful if he has ever met witt #so much success as in his last attemp When the faithful fans arrived at tn grounds notice was immediately at s1Sacte1- by the work of 8 clean GU Hooking little fellow anchored abou Static No. 1.
