 cia1 was forthcoming from the

The game was a genuine battle of pitchers which was not broken until the tenth round. when Kingdom, Loftus and Smith hit safely consecutively, netting the Derb1es
 Unbeatable Pitchers Duel.
 It was the best duel between pitch CTS witnessed this season at the local park. Up to the tenth Emnerich was the only player to get as far as third T,ase, so effective was F'uller's pitch ing, while not a Waterbury player i advanced further than the second station, so alright was Stauffer's per formance. Stauffer allowed his Brass City opponents two hits. Kings in the l first and Schm ehls In the eighth, while seven pings were made by the locals off Fuller. the R. E. F. cham l pion. three of them being rung up in the final round.
 Both pitchers famed four and i walked three. Fuller had excellent ! control of his "spitter'' and the Mo : Cannfsters were guilty of a lot of the hopping up and out' business. The Bridgeport outfeld presented a sronc wall front behind Stauffer, Loftus snabbing six flies, Miller two and Fallk one. Emmerich also pulled down -four flies around third base territory.
 The Thrilling Finish. The windup of the game was one iof the thrilling sort fans like to see. sJoe Smith. the doughty catcher of ethe Derbs, was one of the big heroes Eof the occasion. It was his slashing hdrive to right field that sent Kingdom 1 over the plate with the winning tally. {, Kingdom reached first on spanking grounder which proved too hot for 1, digger Donahue to tame, and Loftus followed with screeching drive 10 left field.
 Tommy Miller executed a fancy running catch of Cousineau in the fifth that brought the crowd to it's feet. Ken King also made a, dandy running nab of Rodriguez's fly in the fourth, holding onto his capture while he executed a tumbling act. The catch was of the "Dick Loftus" brand.
