The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-06-16

that paragraph with a single to cen ter, which Birmingham could have easily got, but which he permitted to pass through his legs, the pill rolling to his fence and Ray continuing his journey as far as third on the error. Baker flied to Birmingham, but the latter fumbled and Ray scored. Mar tin bunted perfectly and Kenneth Grimes came through with a roller down the third base line.
 With the bases filled Marty Walsh came to bat. Like che Casey of bat ting game the mighty Marty ap- preached the plate. Taking his bat in hand and studying closely every move of Pitcher Tillman he allowed his stick to come in contact with one of the deliveries with the result that the. pill buried itself in center field, near the fence It was a nifty three bagger and the oases were cleaned Braun's Texas leaguer was an invita- itation for Marty to come home and he accepted it. Lai flied to Birming- ham who partially redeemed himself by doubling Braun off first.
 BENNY KAUF'F m whom Bridge porters are more or less interested by reason of the fact that he once played on the local team. being let go by Gene McCann, again broke into the lineup yesterday afternoon when he knocked out five hits in as many times at bat in the game between the Cubs and Giants in Chicago. The game went ten innings. All accounts agree that it was most spectacular game and the Giants deservedly won it by the score of to f. Two of Benny's hits were doubles and it was one of these two-baggers made in the tenth inning with Zimmerman on second that brought home the run that won the game for the Giants
 WHILE the Americans were beat ing the Pittsflelders here the Grays, who lead the league today by one full game over the locals, took a 1 to 0 game from Hartford. The lone tally was scored in the first inning when with two out Cooney bunted safely, stole second, took third a wild heave and came home on Sweatt's timely single.
 SPRINGFIELD and Worcester also won their games with Waterbury and New Haven, respectively, by the scores of 5 to and to 0. The Ponies won as the result of bad tumble made by Schreiber of Brad shaws grounder in the fifth inning, followed by shower of clean singles that gave the Sprin gfield boys all five of their runs Lindstrom was invinci- ble and because he was New Haven was unable to get to him and Wor- cester won a game that it rightfully had earned.
 ANOTHER large crowd was in at tendance at the Polo grounds yester- day afternoon and saw the Browns efeat the Yankees in a brilliant game. Jacobson's triple in the second broke up a. pitching duel between Quinn of the Tanks and Shocker of the Browns. The final score was 1 to 0. The Tigers won over the Sena- tors down in Washington by to as the direct result of consistent and hard hitting.
