 With Springfield at bat in the sec ond Inning. the wrath of his honor, Ihe umps. was reused by the two EWorcester twirlers, who were sitting Fon easy chairs next to the visiting tuugout. Ennis quickly ordered the Fgair off the field: The speed used by Halndstrom and Meyerjack in vacat- f1ng the bench did not all match the Hspeed in which the order to vacate Ewas given and the umpire called upon f1Wo policemen to enforce the order.

Especial to The Times)
 New Haven, Aug. 9-For the third attempted to pitch for the Indians but, as might be expected, he failed. Tn Brown DeTbies got to the local boy in the first five innings of yester- days game at Weiss Park, and forced the over-worked twirler to retire. The visitors ultimately won 8 to 0, in one of the poorest games, from a local standpoint. seen here in several weeks.
 The visitors showed plenty of pep and ability to hit everything that was offered in the way of pitching, mak- ing ,thel ocals look like a lot of bush leaguers. The one stumbling block in the path of the Indians was the presence of "Shanty" House on the mound for the Park City outfit. A total of seven hits was all they could get off his delivery, his work in the box bordering on perfect. The long c1outs uncorked by the locals were confined to fly balls within easy reach eff the outfelders or weak grounders to the infield- Earl Simpson and Marty Shay were the only members of the Tribe who seemed to be able to hit House with any degree of con sistency. Stimmie got three safe clouts and Marty registered two safe blows. However, lack of assistance from their terminates caused their efforts to go for naught, all five of their hits being wasted.
 Woodie's plight really was pitbful. Doing the best he could to help the crippled Indian pitching staff over the rough spots, Woodie took up the pitching burden but the effort was too much for the GraniSs Corner youth. The strain of working in three games in four days was too much.
 Smffh's Homer.
 Outside of the general hitting by the Bridgeporters, two outstanding features were hung up during the pastime. Joe Smith, the visiting catcher, slammed one of Woodie's the second inning. He gave the ball a terrific drive and the clout was one of the longest ever seen at the park Dick Ioftus helped himself to a catch off O'Connor'S bat that was a hummer. The ball was headed for the fence and was a sure triple but Loftus, by some exceptionally fast sprinting, finally got under the ball and shared it with one hand.
 first run made by the visitors. Then in the fourth frame, doubles by Mar tin and Kingdom, together with a sin ble by Smith and an inheld out, were responsible for two more. A single by Rodriguez, Balls error, a ielder's choice, another error by Marty Shay and Smiths sacrifice fly showed two more runs across the rubber in the fifth Loftus' infield hit, a felder's gle, Hargrave's error and Emmer1ch's s sacrifice fly to Simpson accounted for two more The final run of the game came in the ninth on a single by Martin, Hargrave's error and Smiths single.

 It was announced during one of the intervals that Young Angelo will meet Pete August, the local conner at Stamford, Aug. 31. It looks like very poor match from our viewpoint as August is only just starting, while Angelo is an old hand at the game.
