What looked EASTERN like a certain victory for the Cubs, an amateur nine of unusual ability, in the Trailers of Hartford at End fleld yesterday spoiled by a row. a dispute over an Hartford was at bat at the time and the visitors took exception to the i umpire’'s interpretation of the pitch, | and then a number of spectators, said to be members of the Rangers, | started more trouble by kidding the visitors. While the game lasted it was all New Britain with Nirmo pitching for |the home team. Geetersloh started | for the Trailers, but was forced to give way to Hoffman. The latter was an improvement, but still no wizard and the Cubs came tumbling across | the plate in routine order until the fight started. Nothing worse than feelings were hurt. The Cubs want a ance with the Pirates of Hartford and would play next Saturady. Sun- they will play the Pilgrims of | Hartford at Colt's park. Yesterday's Results.
