JSMITH HAS BOLTS TIED UP IN KNOTS| GFans Twelve Bridgeporters and Gives But Four Hits. WEEMIL Pitcher “Dug’ Smith, of the local eam,, certainly.’ earnéd his share of | ithe receipts from yesterday’'s benefit game! by his masterly work against Bridgeport yesterday when he let them ydown with two lonely runs and four Iscattered hits while his team imates) were chalking up five runs and slamming out ten safe bingles. 'What. makes Dug's victory the more | sweet is the fact that he humbled | the great.Marty Walsh, heralded and | recorded as the best, twirler in the | Eastenn association. At all stages | thesgame Smith had his opponents ! tinggout of his hand while his team | mates *went after Walsh in sa.vage; fashion from the time the umpire cried ‘“Play ball” until the last man | ag.out. But at that Walsh pitched | good' balll and the locals had to| ifight for everything they got. And | Jlast, but not least, Smith struck oul, }an even dozen of the opposing bats- | jmen while-the best that Walsh could | 0 was to retire seven New Britain- | tes via the three strike route. In | e third .inning, just to show that! 'there was -no hard feeling and that | e was assuredly the master of the uation, Smithy fanned Tierney, ooks and Walsh in the order lamed. In‘mssing it may be noted hat Walsh:and Tierney struck out ree times each, failing even to nnect with the ball. Both nines jplayed clean ball and but one error | l'was charged up to the New Britain- ites, that being when Heath mis- judged an easy Texas leaguer. The A ors imade two misplays. n Locals Assume Lead. ! In their half of the ~first inning fBridgeport made two hits and scored jone run, Smith's wild pitch con- [tributing, but the'“locals came back ong in their half and secured the lead which they never lost. Dawson got on base after which Tetreault ibeat out a bunt along the first base jline. Then “Wee Willie” Jones beat iout a bunt along the third base line nd his two. predecessors scored ywhen the Bridgeport third sacker ithrew wild. Jones landed on third | land scored a moment later when !“Kaiser” Zeimer came through with ‘the needed punch. The inning closed when BouMtes made a bear cat catch of a short fly off Crook's bat. Tiermey, Crook and Walsh all fanned the empty air in Bridgeport’'s half of the second and the locals _ also failed to connect, although they #succeeded in finding the ball. Jones {robbed Disbrow of a sure hit in the third when he raced away over to ' the whiskey sign and pulled down wone that was labelled ‘“two sacks.” New Britain’s efforts were rewarded dn this stanza by scoring another run ‘on three hits. One of these bingles thowever, was a flukey one, the ball fbouncing over Boultes' head after he fhad set” himself to scoop up Noves' grounder. Jones Caught Napping. Walsh passed Jones, the first man mp in the fifth, but a moment later caught him napping off first base. “'Wee Willie” was run down between rthe bases and finally tagged out by {Waish himself who was well pleased rwith his achievement. Having seen FTetreault and Jones beat out infleld ihits Ens essayed to do it in the wixth and succeeded when FEgan stumbled and rolled over on the ground a couple of times while field- dng the bal. This was Bridgeport's fthird hit and the fourth and last also came in this period. “Kaiser” Zeimer Scores. Things went along smoothly for both twirlers until the eighth when, mfter Heath had retired the side by Tobbing Disbrow of a hit over sec- -ond, the locals got to . Walsh for three more safeties. Zeimer hit and #tole second as the catcher juggled the ball. “Kaiser” romped home when Tom Crook ripped off a two bagger to left. Heath also got his only hit of the game in this stanza when he poked one over second that was too hot for stow to handle. Bridgeport went out in order in their half of the ninth.

It looked for a short while as if they were going to repeat Mondty's performance and take the game with a hitting rally, but they didn't carry their attack that far.
