A hard hit ball by Fallon in the eighth inning with two men on bases, that got away from the visitors’ shortstop, brought a 4 to 3 victory! for the Pioneers over the Waterbury Elks yesterday afternoon. Up_to this time the Brass City “Bills” were lead- ing by a one run advantage, and with Cleary going good it looked as if the visitors might annex a victory. In the disastrous inning for the losers, Lynch, the first man up hit a screech- ing singe to center and Noonan was safe on his sacrifice when the Elks’ shortstop ~ bungled. Noonan stole second a moment later and scored the winning, tally on Fallon’s clout. The game was not as interesting as the score would indicate. Harvey, right fielder, pulled down a hard drive starting a double play and Fallon got a ball off Cleary’s bat after a run, one handed. Eddie Goeb had a big day with the willow connecting for four hits. Manager Luby tried a new hurler named Palmer, and he man- aged to get away with a victory for a start. He, however, took too much time between pitches and slowed up the game materially.
