Owing to the length of the struggle, and the hour that the game terminated, ' no second . gamo was attempted. It was Jimmy Curry, . Hartford’s second baseman, that made the overtime game possible. Things had been ruaning along pretty tight for eight innings with the visitors in the lead by the nar- row mergin of one run. In the ninth, however, Curry booted Chancey’s grounder with- two down and Mo- Cormack scampered home with the tying tally. Curry redeemed him- self in the twenty-third «:by cracking out a double that scored the winning run. ‘Between the ninth an@ twenty- third the rival teams had = many chances to score but brilliant pitch- ing prevented.

O. wallop in the eighth round at Bridgeport yesterday and won the decision on points by a narrow mar- gin. The score was 6 to 5. The game just goes to show that the boys can turn the trick if luck breaks at all even. The punch was needed and it was produced, no freak of fate barring the way as has been the case in so many games, New Britain gathered speed as it went along and in the eighth inning made a spurt that left “Jake” Boultes and his crowd in the rear. Things went bad in the early part of the game for the players from the Hardware city and Bridgeport se- cured four runs in the first two in- nings. In the third there was a ray of hope for the Skis when one tally was scored, .but this looked awfully small and lonesome as Bridgeport grabbed another run in the fourth. The fact that New .Britain had not quit sctapping was shown in the fifth when two runs were sent across the plate. In the eighth inning New Britain showed its real strength. Wee Wil- lum Jones led off with a sparkling double to right. Heath was admitted to the obituary column on a high fly and Jones hung closely to the mid- way. Egan was the little boy with the big stick and his smashing single scored Jones. Egan then stole sec- ond, Noyes was retired on strikes. With two down New !Britain's case looked hopeless, but there was still some fight left. Miller bingled and Egan scored with the tying run. Flannery also produced a clout and Miller scored the run that won the game, Flannery was out trying to make second on the hit. Ray Hancock and Williams were the opposing pitchers when the game opened, but Hancock was taken out after the second inning and ‘‘Dug” Smith, the boy who eats "em alive, went in and pitched a great game.

Mutt Waters, who used to play with the Ponies, has been bounced as an umpire in the Colonial league. The head of the league is said to have taken a dislike to Waters' attitude on the fleld, but Mutt was admittedly the best balls and strikes arbiter in the circuit, and he hazards a guess that there was something else back of his dismissal.

Flaherty of the Lynn (New England league) baseball team, for- mer pitcher for the Boston Nationals, has tendered his resignation, to take effect at once.
