HARTFORD CONNECTS
 FOR ANOTHER HOMER
Hurling Duel Goes To Southpaw Over Ken / meth Sedgwick

Friday must have been one of those days in June which the poet calls so rare, for the Barons went out and won themselves a ball game. True, it was only Chattanooga they beat, but still it was win: and it counts just as much in the standing as if it Lad been Memphis. The score was to 2, and but for Sep Goods fine pitching under fire, it might have been worse than that saip favor of Chattanooga
 F The games big thril came in the ninth. The locals went into that final stanza with the score 4-f in their favor. It had been rathef quiet contest. up to that time, so evidently somebody de- cided to liven it up bit. Pete Brau sen started all the trouble. He let Nie- haus bounce single off his shins to start the frame, then lost Stump Clarke's high hopper in the sun and let it go for a double. He managed to snag one from Holg Miners bat, however, and Z threw hisa out without any advance of the runners. When Good famed George Cunningham, hitting for Kress, for the second out, everything seemed all to the Jacob, but Rhode spoiled the playhouse when he let Sedgwick's easy roller get away, Niehaus scoring. With the stands all set to deliver the suc- culent raspberry on behalf of the Bar ons, Bates crossed 'em up and flied to center to end it all.
 Good not only showed his nerve in that frame, but he twirled winning ball 4~a To : ed that nasty dropping hook that has become a byword, but he relied mainly on his fast one and a slashing cross fire that had the opposition coming up for air when hits meant runs. A sin gle and a pass he issued in the first frame went for naught when a neat play for force at third by Rhode, and Spencers throw to kill Carroll at third when the hit and run missed fire, killed off the visitors.
 Sep likewise broke the offensive ice when he scored the first run after walk ing in the third. Brausen and Stew art came through with singles to push him on around. He wobbled q little in the fifth, but would have pulled out Bcathless had not Rhode bobbled. Clarke singled and was forced at second by Milner. Massey flied out, but Kress drew a pass. Sedgweck crashed sin gle to right and Brenner had Milner at the plate, but Rhode threw low on the relay. Good picked up the ball and threw to get Sedgweck, who was trying for second, and Hartford then threw out Kress at the plate when the latter tried for home on the play.
 With two out in the sixth, Anderson walked and Niehaus singled, but Sep got the next man. Sedgwick opened the eighth with a single and Bates sac rificed him up, but Carroll and An derson were helpless. So, despite his recurrent wild spells, Good turned in a we'll rounded game in every respect.
 Johnny Bates did his part to assist the local hirelings to one of their lntre- uuent victories when he handed 'em a tally in the sixth. Camp singled and Brenner walked, with one out, but Hart ford flied to Carroll. Spencer then hit to Rates, who picked up the ball and threw some dozen feet over Niehaus head, Camp scoring.
 In the eighth the Magic Citians, or rather Bruce Hartford, sewed 1t up. Camp started it when he masse shot a drive just inside the left field foul line for two sacks. Brenner moved him un with a bunt and then Hartford sock cd one to deep left. John Anderson played it rather slowly and it rolled to the fence, while Bruce careened and tackled around the cushions for his sec ond homer of the year, and his second in three days. Soccer very nearly dupll- cated when he caught one of Sedgwick s fast ones on the nose and drove to John Andy, The force of the wallOp turned Anderson half way around, but he did rot need to move from his tracks to
 ct it.
 . Kenneth Sedgwick turned in no bad game himself. He was the third Wash ington farm hand in three days to Op- pose the Baronials and all of 'em show ed we'll. Sedgwick didn't have such a curve, but his control was all there and he demonstrated his cast iron grit by the manner he twirled in the tights. Three of the runs off him were earned, but fast fielding would have given him about an even break with Seraphin Good. Then, too, he hit safely twice in four trials, and completed a neat field ing play when he covered first in the sixth to take a throw from Niehaus and end the inning with Barons on second and third aching to score.
 Holt Milner was the fielding hero of the day. Playing in Crossley's place in right against left-hand throwing, Holt dragged down a drive from Jeanes' bat in the fourth that had all the earmarks -0f a double. He started with the crack of the bat and tucked away the pellet with one hand while running at top speed. Al Niehaus likewise looked good His play on Brenner's hard hit ground CT, in the fourth to force Camp at second was a beauty and helped cut short a Baron rally.
 Bruce Hartford again put up fine game in every department, while Herb Brenner pulled one foul off the fence
