Featured by the absence Of Ed Buckingham and his navy blue uni- form the Lawyers lined up against the Newspapermen for the second game of a three out of five series yes terday afternoon at Seaside park ana once more hung the Indian sign on the news hounds When the final re- turns were in at the end of the sev- enth innings the books showed that the barristers had crossed the old rubber II times while the scribes were on the short end with 8 tallies.
 Izzy Cohn was in the box for the lega1ites and Hurley twirled 'em over for the typwriter athletes. Mike Flana gan caught them on the first bounce for the court arguers. and Steve Maher, the Babe Ruth of Mill ford, handled Hurleys attempts to steam 'em over. The game itself was a big improvement over the contest of last week. Sheriff Maloney was assisted in the handling of the indl- cator by Never erStop-Talking" Bill Stewart, who umped on the bases. Bill had tough job and almost got away with it but after the game he was kid mapped by the scribes and taken to the Sheffield Lunch where under oss-examination presided over by Norwalk DeForest he admitted that he had accepted a bribe of a prom ice of a quart of home brew 'hooch". for throwing the game. To square himself Bill paid for an extra round of beans.
 Start In Bold Fashion.
 The Lawyers started off to make the contest safe for a victory by massa ging the delivery of Hurley for about 32 hits and 8 runs in the first inning. As Jackson says the green sward was dented in many places by the savage attack of singles, doubles and Babe Ruths' from the willow of each and every "shyster." The fea- lures of the game were too numerous to mention For the Lawyers; Eddie McManus played like old Hal Chase on the initial bag, Mike Flanagan was a wizard behind the bat, Goldstein on second handled himself in corset style and Kid Cohn, who relieved his brother in the box in the fifth inning, was a shining light on the defense. The outf1e1d was there like a Cobb Speaker-Ruth outfit and averaged one out of every 10 fly ball balls that were hit out in their direction.
 For the Newswriters Andy Lyon, who was Kidnapped at Main street and Fairfield avenue boarding a bus for Fairfield Beach two minutes before game time and rushed to the scene of the battle, proved the old saying true that man may be down but he is never out flick Comstock had a touch of stage fright and his south paw heaves were a menace to the six spectators who witnessed the contest. Eddie Inglis almost sustained a busted digit when a hot liner off the bat took his glove off, B1ackie Blackadar in center, fell exhausted in the third in ming after chasing fifteen hits in his territory DeForest in left field sent out bids for a high powered motor cycle after the first inning and Jerry Karph, the make up kid of the Middle street establishment, saw a doctor after the game for alleged heart trou- l ble- The one best bet of the scribes was Steve Maher, the Milford boy, who banged out a couple of hits and was a power on the defense behind 7 the bat
