 Sixth And Locals Win
Pitchers Battle Up to Sixth When Both Teams Cross the Plate-Krichell Put Out of Game.

In fast and exciting game at New field park yesterday afternoon the local pill busters defeated the team that represents Waterbury by the score of Az. The game was a score less one up to the sixth when both teams got, started on the warpath, the locals picking out the better end of it. The Hinchman crowd had Powers on their. firing line while the Krichell team had Lennen heaving the round pill.
 Bill Powers, reading of the come back of Nick Altrock, decided to pull off the same stunt. Bill worked as if he was 20 years younger, for five innings. Then, when he had a lead of two runs, he lost the combination of the fountain of youth and came back to life. He was clouted for five straight hits and four runs. Bill called this a days work and retired in favor of a pinch hitter. Wood burn finished the game in good fash ion.
 Lennen pitched a splendid game for Bridgeport allowing but four hits although he was very free in handing out free tickets, passing six men to the initial sack. He was also backed up by some splendid fielding.
 In the remarkable sixth inning Mameo the first man up was given free transportation to first base. Hinchman then bunted but Braun made an error in fielding, and both men were safe. Lennen hit Cosgrove, advancing the runners a base. Daily 
 the throw in. White hit a single to right, sending Hinchman in with the Brass City's second run. Cook skied to Vim and Burnett hit a fly to left which Hank Bracket took care of
 In the locals end of this inning the Americans went in to get these runs back and more. And they carried out their plans. Lai did not start the inning right though because he took three lusty blows at the wind. Bracket laid down bunt and man. aged to beat it out to first. Grimes then hit a three-bagger to center field, bringing in the locals first run by means of Bracket. Baker knock ed a single to center, scoring Grimes. Vim hit a single to right field and Baker stopped on third. Then the two worked a double steal, Vim mak- ing second while t'Howie" scored. Braun hit a single to center field and Vim came home. Connolly skied to the left fielder. Lennen took first base on four balls, but Martin hit a grounder to Cook who beat him to first.
 The six runs made in this inning, two by Waterbury and the remainder by Bridgeport, was all the scoring visible during the whole game. So as the locals won the bacon in this in- ming they also were the victors of the entire fray.
 Braun, Vim and Bracket deserve credit for their hitting of yesterday The first named came in for two sin gles and a double, the Chinese player clouted the ball for three singles and Hank, our left fielder was credited with a two-bagger and a one-base clout Grimes must not be forgotten on the hitting side for the big fel- lows triple started the day for the Americans.
 Manager Krichell of the local team was disbanded from the field in the third inning for protesting agains one of Umpire Kerrins' decisions Though the decision was wrong the arbiter claimed his power and re moved our little manager, who the! all ick on, from the players bench.
 The score:
