YANKEES AND INDIANS
 SEEsAW FOR FIRST PLACE

New York, Aug. 14.-New York went to the fore in the seesaw American league pennant race today when the Cleveland worlds champions fell victim to the leading league twirler, Faber, of Chicago. However, the Indians, like the Pittsburgh Nationals, are setting a fast pace. While the Pirates are having lit tie difficulty in keeping ahead of the New York Nationals, Cleveland has been un- able to shake off the Yankees. The loss of Catcher Nunamaker. whose leg was fractured Saturday, may handicap the Indians
 In the National race, Pittsburgh, which has taken five consecutive games from Chicago, appears to have a much steadier pitching staff than New York. Although hit hard in a few contests, the Pirate pitchers have been able to go the full distance. Pittsburgh seems also to have the edge on it's rival in fielding. ] Bostons hope of reaching the top is dwindling. With a handicap of eight games to overcome in AS to be played, the Braves would have to average two victories in three games while the Pirates l were breaking even. The play of the | Brooklyn club in the west was a sur prise, the Superbas taking three series
 out of four. St. Louis and Chicago are doing well in both batting and fielding. The Cardinals lost several close games
 recently and the Cubs have been handi- capped by ineffective pitching. Cincin-
 nati's play improved just enough to per init the Reds to benefit by Chcago's
 slump and go into sixth place. For last team, Philadelphia is playing a fair 1 game
 | In the American league, Cleveland has failed to show the same run-scoring pow CT as New York, although both met the same teams last week. Little difference
 is seen in comparison of pitching
 strength. The home run hitting combi-
 nation of Ruth, Baker and Meusel
 which had a total of II circuit hits last
 week, has been of great aid to the Yan- kees.
 The play of the Washington team has fallen off and the Senators are in danger
 of losing third place as St. Louis is com ing up. The Browns are getting good pitching and are batting we'll Detroit i fell back to sixth place today while Bos-
 ton went into fifth. The Red Sox are
 9laying a consistent game The Chicago and Philadelphia pitchers have been hit l hard, The Athletics made 101 hits fol
 45 runs in nine games against the In
 dians and Yankees last week.

CoLoNIALS WHITEWAsHED
 NEW LONDON INDEPENDENTS

What one Norwich team failed to do, was accomplished by another team Sat urday afternoon at the fair grounds when the Colonial team shut out the New Lon don Independents by the score of 3 to 0. The New London boys came up strong, expecting to win, as they generally do when tbey play in Norwich, but they went back sadly disappointed.
 Corcoran was on the mound for the Colonials and it was his seventh straight win and second consecutive shutout He was in fine form and had the Indepen- dents at his mercy, especially with men on bases. The more the fans see of his pitching, the more they think he is headed for fast company. He was held up by Blair, who held the visitors to the bags. not one stealing.
 Henry, on the mound for the Indepen- dents, pitched good ball except in the fourth frame, when the Colonials reached him for three hits, two being doubles and he issued two passes.
 The Colonials started scoring in Che second inning. Harrington, the first man up, singled, Lesseman famed, Mulhol. | land sacrificed Harrington to second, and he scored on Belair's sharp single to cen | ter. The locals scored two more in the third when Ringland led off with dou. l ble over center and scored on Shea's double to right. Clabby singled and Shes reached third, Clabby was caught steal ing second. Murphy grounded out liar
 rington grounded to Williams, who furn | bled the ball, Shea scoring.
 Ringland, who played in place of Els
 worth, who was injured, played a grea
 game at short by getting two hits, one O | them for two bases. Clabby also made 1 two hits. The fielding of the Colonial. was perfect. not one error being made
 and with this kind of support and {! pitcher like Corcoran they ought not tt have trouble in defeating some of tn, | fastest teams around
 The management was not pleased witt i the size of the crowd, and considerin, i the games that are being played ther
 should be larger attendance.

Sunday on their own grounds. Bader had but three Taftville men to pitch to in the first inning the same in the sec ond and third. :, The locals scored first in the second. Halstein was safe on Para dies error, took second on Adams sacri- flee and scored on Tiamels clout to right. Two more runs were scored in the third Lathrop was safe on Dugas' error and scored when Comins hit to Paradis. Comins ambled home when Halstein punched one to lefN for three sacks. In the fourth three runs were gathered Schley Donohue hit safe to left and was eased along by Hamers sacrifice, and scored on Bader's hard hit to center. The final run was in the sixth. Halstein singled and went out when Donohue hit to short. Adams, who had touched Morin to center, reached third and scored on Hamers long fly to left
 Taftville seemed to be unable to hit when men were on bases and made errors when they meant runs for the locals. The game was called off for 20 minutes, after four and one-half innings had been played, but after a let-up play was re- sumed The seventh was played in a pouring rain, and then the game was called.

 Rube Olding, now playing with the New Haven club of the Eastern league predicts that tn eEastern team will win the pennant. He said that some thing is wrong with the Yankees, all though he cannot trace the source of tn ailment.
 Clarry Pickup is performing well. He manages to get his bingle in almost every game and in the outfield he gob- bles the flies like a spider. ! William F. Baker of the Philadelphia National league baseball team, has re- | leased Ralph Miller, an infielder, to the Louisville club of the American assiciation.

Playing in a dr1zzling rain with sog- lgy balls and field, the Kaceys nosed Nout a to 3 victory over the Singers of Bridgeport, in the most exciting and hard-fought game of the season. Sunday afternoon at the Fairgrounds. It. took 10 innings to turn tNe trick so evenly matched were the two teams.
 At o'clock q heavy shower held up things but there was no thought of calling the game off as each team was eager for a decision one way or another. The crowd sought refuge in the grand stand and were later re- awarded for their perseverance by see- ing a real baseball classic.
 ! The score stood to when the .Kaceys came in for their turn in the tenth. Gaudette grounded out.Jigger Donahue reached first when Johnson played a throw poorly. Gallagher sim kgled over third base. Coughlin grounded hout. The bases were filled when Wilson Init Ojerholm. Then up came BN. Der bgen. Bergen calmly looked over two ltwisters and then hit to center field just beyond the outstretched hand of 1 Ohearn. Donahue scored.
 | Bergen used his bludgeon to advan- l tage all through the game, getting ] singles, in 5 trips to the plate. Peppery lPetty flashed around the keystone station in fine style having putouts and assets to his credit and nary g Sign of an error.
 The Singers amassed 10 hits off Can- avan as against by the Kaceys but with the exception of the first inning Hugh kept them sufficiently scattered to be of little use. His ability to pick runners off first also greatly lesseneC the visitors chances.
 The Singers opened the contest witt Ia flock of hits which netted two runs With one down Klinger singled hu was caught stealing. Mosher smashed double to right and scored on Reilly'G single. Reilly took second on Cough lin's error. Hamil singled and Refill! romped in with the second tally.
 In the third, the Kaceys went tt work and evened things up. After twc were ut, Eddit Mckay drey a pas went to third when Gaudette laced double to left Both Mckay and Gau dette scored when tiger Donahue sin gled cleanly over short.
 Both teams scored one in the fourth The visitors on Ringers hit and stea and Reilys single; and the Norwicl lads on Coughlins double and Der gems single.
 Then came innings of goose eggs Although during this time the Kacey hed men on the bags often enough they lacked the punch necessary t irEke them count. They finally did spu

 Dear Sir:
 In taking a final shot at Mgr. Leseman, of the Colonials drought the columns of your valuable paper, I have been wondering if he or the man who wrote the article for him, ever saw a ball game, or knows anything about one.
 First I want to state that the Taft ville team is not out for any large list of victories. That's why we have been bringing the best teams in the state here, and by doing so have tried to give the sporting public something for their money. I consider it so much more glory for the Taftville team, be- cause there is not a team in the state, that has been going up against the class, that the Taftville team has. AS long as the Colonials are such a good team why don't they bring in some good teams, such as the New Depar- ture, the Singers, South Manchester, the Nutmegs, the American Thread, of Willimantic or something in their class, and give them a little practice will answer for them. They cant draw enough of a crowd. Why?
 Because the people do not consider them good enough to watch. Isn't is funny Leseman, you claim Morin is a good pitcher, and at the same time, you state that we will need no contractors to take the ledge away in right field, on account of the 1 two base hits going against it. won- der how many rocks the Colonials | would loosen or move, with their team against Mike? Probably they would move the whole ledge away, with the | force of the wind from their bats. You have four men on your team that had | to go out of town to get on a good team. 1 have just released four more | during the past week. It does not speak very well for the city you arc 1 trying to get to support your team when you have to come to Taftville fol ball players.
 In regards to the K. of c. series don't worry your head, we can handle them in proper style when the tim, comes, is far as being contenders fol 1 the city championship, perhaps Lese man is not aware that Taftville il out of the city limits, and might, glad of it too.
 Who was the man that drove in tn, winning run III that eleven Innlni game at Baltic for the Colonials. Wa he not one of the Taftville regulars Look at your score book.
 In conclusion. wish to state that ", will play the Colonials as Leseman' letter stated, winner take all. But il order to make it more attractive fo them, and considering that we are bunch of suckers for all the teams il the state, there is now ($200.00) in tn hands of the sporting Editor, and nor to come if they want it, for one or series of games, team for team as the, are at the present time, no man to b used who has not played with eithe team before Saturday, August 18th, o play any one under an assumed name Here's your chance Leseman, com to the Bulletin office tonight, Monda, August 18th at o'clock and catch som of the fish that some of the othe teams around the state have beel catching. Help us move our ledge an have a good time with Taftville mon ey. Put up or shut up. That's the wa, we do business in Taftville wher the strong teams in the state catch tn suckers.
