JORY PLAY FEATIRE OF NEAR BALL CAME fliher Tries to Steal Third With , Gardelia There. The Scinskis were pushed further ito the mire yesterday by Hartford by the score of 7 to 1. Local fans who went to the Capital A to see a ball game were deeply disappointed. From a Hartford stand- jpvint ;some real baseball was playea but the New Britain men acted more like field statuary than ball players, “\SI McDonald's crew went Stark m @il the bases and in the third inning engineered two double steals and & triple steal, making séven stolen sacks in that session. Despite this mlarming speed, the Senators netted only two runs in that frame. «‘Dug Smith was as wild as the pro- iverbial hawk just when he shoula Hdve been steady. Twice he filled the bases with free passes and in_the eighth inning two successive shoots eavorted over the head of the catch- ‘er and whacked against the grana- stand, thereby waking the represen- tatives of the press who were in a gomnolescent state of mind due to the “excitement.” Catcher Egan, who jwas with Albany in the New York state league last year, wore the pro- tector for New Britain. He made ‘a couple of wild pegs but if he can conrol his speed he may become Svaluable. | George Browne, the ex-New Britain pilot who has been sentenced to {Hartford, was not in the game as he ds still sore where Paddy Greene's ipoke hit him on Monday at Electdic feld. “Pop” McPartlin, the “owld fox,” whp was once in charge of the Wa- terbury club, held the indicator. One good feature about “Pop” is that you mever are in doubt as to his decisions when he calls a strike he assumes & pose like Demosthenes addressing wild waves. Some of his deci- 8% were questionable in the opinion of many of the fans. On balls ana fikes he was like the soap that is @darly 100 per cent. pure but on base decisions he was not exactly like that Speaking of soap brings to mind an {vory play made by “Mickey” Keliher, ‘who drags down a salary on the fit- teenth and tihrtieth of each month for stopping balls thrown at the | initial sack. The “bone” was placea on- exhibition in a glass case in the sfpurth inning when Keliher tried to eal third when that base was al- ady occupied. Yes, he did, too. | ¥Mickey” had reached second and |® was congratulating himself on get- g that far. Gardella was on third put that dldn’t make any difference to wflhher. Getting up steam for the 4 ort dash Keliher approached the \dizzy corner like a vest pocket edition £ the Charge of the Light Brigade. I Gardella waved the signal of distress " and the coacher yelled frantically but . “Mickey” was both blind and deaf to || their pleadings. When about three | yards from the base Keliher realizea | where he was at and stopped short. " @ardella gave him a withering look. After an interchange of glances both decided that something must be done as the entire New Britain team was ‘beginning to swarm around third base to watch the proceedings and to sep- | arate the combatants if any, blows were struck. Gardella being the bet- ter dodger started for home. He zig- zagged, ducked and slid under the . ball for a few seconds but was final- 1y tegged out efter the sphere - had heen in the hands of about every New Britain player. " v Outside of a few features of this mnature the game was uninteresting. It the spectators were satisfied to watch a Marathon they got their money's worth. 'But if.they went to see base- pall—well they would have had better fuck if they spent the afternoon at Mithe pit” on Myrtle streét. The score: 9 ° eSO O Curry, 2b. . JGardella, 3b. .

Friend Bish—I am happy to meet you, And welcome you into the ring; Join in with our band, and accept the glad hand_ Of us fellows who think we can b sing. The road is a rough one to follow, As you'll know when you've trav- elled awhile, But be not' dismayed; you can't be afraid If you meet all your woes with a smile. You will find us all Jolly good tallows, ‘Who take the poetical tour, But join with our bunch and you'll sure get a hunch On how to be happy, though poor. Sometimes we get nix for our efforts, And sometimes we get twice as much; But. whatever our loss, we can put it across On political geezers and such. One word, though, of caution, Dear Brother; Let your diction be pure; Cut out all the buniig hot air and such junk, For slang we can never éndure. simple and Let your thoughts soar above base- ball chatter; Put “spitters” and mind; Let us teach you to sling the sure enough thing, And your joy will be then uncon- fined. “swats” out of —ISH K. BIBBLE. BYRNE RFELBASED AGAIN. “Bill” Luby Will Play First—Spring- field Player Signed. First Baseman Byrne has earned the distinction of being released twice by the same club within a week. The tie that bound him to New Britain wag cut last night by Owner Secinski, ' who used the edge of a can in the severing act. Byrne signed with the club last week and played two games in the outfield. He was then let go. A few days later he was signed up again and has been playing first base. Byrne is a hard worker, but is over- weight and in no condition to put up a fast game. His weakness is ground balls. Beginning today ‘Bill” Luby will play first in place of Byrme. Luby has had extensive experience cover- ing the lead off sack, “Wee Willie" Jones is now the property of the New Britain club. Jones started the. season with Spring- field, but was cast adrift last week when he and “Bill” Carey had dif- ferences regarding salary. Jones is a fast man and is fairly dependable He played center fleld yesterday and gave a good account of himself. . WNEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1914. T HE GOES ...

This Price Offcred and Acepted Polo Series, New York, May 27.—Betting on the outcome of the polo games quickened a bit in the financial district yester- day, but the general tendency of those interested in the sport is to wait the arrival of the English players ana to see their tryouts in this country before committing themselves to any great extent. The betting yesterday was at 9 to 5 on the Americans. In Fred Schumm’s $500 was wagered on the English team against $900 on the Americans. It is said that another backer of the English players has $500 to bet at the same odds. The betting is even money that the Americans will win the first game and score the firsct poiat. on | | i FROM BEYWND A PLOW...

Boehling was hit harder than his rival, but had better support.
