The men of McGraw whaled those of ‘O'Day by the count of 8 to 1 and that doesn't begin to show the difference of work of the two teams. No figures could, The New York lads played as if the object of the game was to get all the runs they could and keep the other fellows from counting any. The ~West Siders played as if their object was to rid their systems of nine in- nings of bad baseball. Both succeed- The win gave the men of Mc- w three of the four and sent them to Pittsburg still in first place. Tesreau pitched one of his good games. His control was perfect. He fanned seven of the Cubs and while they got to him for eight hits three of them were made in the last round, when . the spit ball tosser was in a liberal mood. Tesreau’'s support was P! ct and the hitting behind him x?lc. Eleven safe drives were le by the easterners.

Tyler Gives One Hit. St. Louis, Aug. 31.—The Boston Braves made it three out of four over the Cardinals yesterday by taking the last game of the series 2 to 0 in a yitchers' battle between Tyler and Perdue. The Boston southpaw held the Cardinals to one measly hit. Perdue was hit fairly often, but was ng in the pinches. Better support 1d have cut off one Boston run. +The only Cardinal hit was made in the seventh. ILee Magee hit to left, ' /but was out at second trying to | ptretch the hit into a double, Con- nolly making a great throw to Evers. , Immediately afterward Dolan drew a * pass and Tyler promptly caught him ‘off first.

Boston often ihreatened in other innings, but p e put on steam and kept them from the plate. n the ninth the Cards started a tive rally. Roche, pinch hitter, { ers’ was hit and Huggins got a walk.

HARDWARE CITY CAN No Town Woud Patron'z3 Club Like New Britain, Says Chalienger. (Written for the New Britain Herald by 8. W. Challenger, Official Scorer, Eastern Association.) Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. 31.—With New Britain’s team now in the Arab class, not much can be expected in the closing days of the season. Com- pelled to contest every game upon foreign diamonds, the team failed to get a win and six defeats were marked up. It is too bad such a mistake was made in forming the team at the start. With anything like a winner New Britain ‘would have backed up Scinski as well as two-thirds of the cther towns in these days of baseball slump. But with a combination so far behind the others it was not to be expected New Britain would great- ly enthuse. No other ycity would. in each city who go to see a baseball geme for the pure love of the sport, without regard to the victor. Three- quarters of those who visit the stands want the home team to win. New Britain would be all right if it had that New London team, or even wa- terbury or Bridgeport. That is all there is to it. ‘With the season only tWo weeks to Tun New London has well nigh a sure thing. Tt made an even break of it during the week in the four games, played, and at that gained a game on ‘Waterbury, Fohl's men getting only two wins out of five games. The Planters need to make an even divi- sion for the rest of its games in order to stave off a Waterbury rush of six- teen or seventeen straight victories. It looks as though Whaletown would get what it has been striving for on and off for twenty years. Hartford and Bridgeport -are run- ning well in their fight for third place. Kach won three games out of four. New Haven did well with four wins in six games and a climb to eixth place. Springfield won four out of eight and had one tie. Pittsfield tcok the other half of the tie and divided three and three games fought to a finish, Most of Scinski’s boys lost points in batting. Jones fell out of the .300 class with a loss of four points. Egan dropped twenty, Smith nine, Wood- ward seven, Toland two, Zeimer one. Clark was the great gainer with an addltion of 176 points. Tetrault put on nine, Dawson four and Heath and Hancock three each. The records: Jones .297, Clark .275, Zeimer .267, Egan .252, Tetrault .250, Heath .245, Noyes .239, Dawson .226, Hancock 5, Toland .167, Wilson .155, Smith “52 Bowden .152, Woodward .132. Individual Batting. There is an event of notable in- terest to be recorded today in the movement of the batting corps. It has a new leader. The man who has airected its pace for the greater part of the season has been forced to re- tire. Manager Fohl of Waterbury at last found pacemaking and pennant chasing too arduous. He dropped off nrineteen points during the week and is in third place. Angemier of New Haven is the leader and Barney of Hartford, whose sticking has been of a remarkable character, is second. In the last six weeks the Hartford sailor has hit at a .390 pace. In thirty-eight games he missed connec- tions for at least one hit in only six. Two league veterans landed in the .800 class this week, one of them for the first time. Barr of New Haven and Hallman of Bridgeport performed strongly and just passed over the line. Hallman now leads the league in hit contributions with 121. Barney is second with 118 and Becker third with 118. Hallman started to climb seven weeks ago and in that time he has hit at a .375 clip. In forty-four games he missed making at least one hit in only seven games. Barr got into the .300 ranks by hitting at a .518 clip for fifteen games. No wonder they want him in the New York Americans, Fhillips of Pittsfield and Quinn of New London were healthy workers with the willow. Here are the leaders: on .317 Dnnov@n w. Phillips, P. Marhefka, Barr, N. H. . Hallman, B. Ahearn, N. L. .. Jones, N. B. . Hoey, H. Team Batting. Hartford was again the most active army in successful assaults upon the hurlers. The gain was three points. Curlously enough New London and Waterbury each dropped two points and they still run nose and nose at willow work. Pittsfleld dropped two roints and New Haven one. Bridge- port and New Britain each gained a point. Springfield made no change. Waterbury leads in safe hits and has taken second place from Bridgeport in run scoring, New London still lead- ing.

Bridgeport, Aug. 31.—Manager Ernest C. Landgraf of the Danbury club of the Atlantic league is to have a conference soon with James O'Rourke, president of the Eastern association, concerning the chances of the Hatters being admitted as a mem- ber of the Eastern association. Base- ball seems to be a dead proposition in New Britain and it is hoped that the Eastern association can be in- duced to grant a franchise to the Dan- bury team. If the Hatters can gain to the Eastern association a great thing for baseball in that town, but it is #n open question whether the club can stand the gafl of a higher class ball. The salary limit in the Eastern association is just double that of the Atlantic league, and it is a grave queston whether Dan- bury can provde sufficent patronage to pay this salary limit. If it could be arranged so that not more than two games a week would have to be played there then Eastern assoclation ball might pay, if those games came on Saturday and Sunday. It is probable that a larger number of fans would turn out to see Eastern association ball than turn out to see Atlantic league ball. Although the salary limit in the Eastern association is greater, consid- erable would be saved by the Hatters from lessened cost of transportation, as the cities in the Eastern assocla- tion are nearer Danbury than those in the Atlantic league. Then the admission it will be clubs in the Eastern association womld ! undoubtedly prove greater drawing cards in games there. There appears to ge a general dis- position towards a break-up of the Atlantic league next season New- burgh and Poughkeepsie are seeking to get into the New York State league, and Perth Amboy and Pater- son want to join leaguer nearer home. Asbury Park has been proved to be a dead ball town and will be out of it next season. If the Hatters cannot get a league with Stamford and South Nerwalk and three New York cities. This would make matters more in- teresting and help to cut down the transportation expenses. It is a safe bet that the composition of the league will be considerable changed next sea- | son.
