Eddie KeLly's Hit I1 The

Incidently Ft Brings About Vic tory and Prevents Locals From Hopping Into Second DiViSiOn-Baseball Resume.

started a rally in the seventh inning of yesterdays game with Jack Flynn's Waterbury aggregation that resulted in not only a Bridgepor vic tory. but also saved the local con tingent from falling back into the second division. Up to that lucky seventh-and it was most fortunate for Bridgeport-it looked like a hasty exit for the locals, for the score board read: Waterbury 4, Bridgeport 0.
 However, that single that Kelley waI!oped out was so convincing and inspiring that Bridgeport's following slugEers behaved so well and the Waterbury defence so badly that be- fore the curtain on the inning was rung down the Americans not only had scored stx runs. but incidently took the game. for the final score was 6 to 4 in favor of those players whG come from this burgh. |
 It was the climax of a fairly we'll played game in which Marty Walsh, brother of the famous Ed and per haps the most popular man on the Bridgeport team, starred most. con- spicuously. Marty twirled a good game and backed by errorless support was instrumental in keeping the enemy pretty much at bay after the first paragraph in which session the Waterburians threw a scare into local quarters by accommodating four runs with very little or no difficulty at all.
 It was a very severe test that Marty faced in that first inning, for Flynn's gang certainly did pound that ball viciously in that paragraph. Jack himself could not help smiling for to him it looked like easy pickings- until the sixth. And in justice to Waterbury it must be said that had not his team and the ascension of young Kahn in the seventh today we might be relating an entirely differ ent yarn. But Dame Fortune sided with us yesterday. so let what might have happened, etc, be forgotten.
 Eddie Kelley distinguished himself in the outer gardens. His spectacu- lar fieldipg was a revelation to the crowd as he turned in some very nifty plays. Hank Bracket also did well.
 With the score to 0 in the sev- enth Kelly came up and swatted 2 single over short Braun rolled fatally to the pitcher Skfn smashed out 8 neat hit and when Kahn walked Marty Walsh, filling the bags, Jack Flynn attached the can to the hurIer and substituted Herbst.
 But Herbst was helpless and it is he against whom the Waterbury de- feat will be recorded, for when Kahn withdrew the visitors were in the lead. Martin foo1ishly swung at the l ball. with three and one, rolling to | Hinch, forcing Walsh, but counting 1 Kelly. Tai promena ded to first. Hank Bracket came up and he was loudly applauded. He dropped 1 an aerial one down to Schreiber who misjudEed distance in the throw back home the ball striking the dirt and rolling out. Skif and Martin scoring ! before Jack Flynn got possession of the sphere. Ray Grimes Diff to right brought Tai home with the tie Ing tally.
 To make matters worse Herbst | baked. bringing home the deciding run and advancing the runners. KeI- ly. up for the second time. could not ! locate the pill and he famed. but | Catcher Hargrave lost the third strike. By the time Hargrave To- ! cated the pill Kelly was safely estab- | llshed on first, Grimes counting with Baker on third and Kelly at second. | Braun ended matters by swinging for | three strikes.
 ! On Friday morning-NIemoria1 Day l the Americans WILL return to | Bridgeport for q game with Hartford. i Tn the afternoon they will go to Hart ' ford. Today and tomorrow the Americans will be the guests of Wat ! erbury fans.
 Jack Flynn is a very much worried ! manager these days. He is direly in | need of the services of a good pitcher | and would appreciate it very much if
 one could tip him off as to where he | could get a promising youth.
 A home run by Benny Kauff. the
 former Bridgeporter, with one man
 on base. in the seventh inning helped | the Giants wallop the Pirates yester- ! day in New York by the score of 10
 to g. In that session the Giants, like | the Americans, scored six runs.
 As a matter of fact the New York
 CTS all hit hard. Ten hits were re-
 corded against the Pittsburgh hurlers,
 Miller and Evans. In addition to the
 homer Benny Kauff also showed in a
 neat double.
 Cravath of the Phillies sent the ball
 spinning over the right field wall of
 Shibe park at Philadelphia in the
 eighth inning and incidently won the
 game for the Quakers by to l. II was Cincinnati that was in the op- , position. but against the hard and
 timely hitting of -the .Phillies the team was helpless.
 The Cubs and Braves figured in a 1 noisy game up in Boston, Mann be- ing put out of the game in the eightf for protesting too vehemently against the umpire's decisions.
