Waiters Toy With Baldwin's Offerings and Produce in One Inning Enough Hits to Submerge Helpless Managers

Red Top, Conn., June 13.--When the sun set across the Thames this evening it left behind nine disappointed crew managers and mechanics and nine elated waiters, For the bash-slingers had just won a glorious victory on the diamond, to the surprise of the whole camp, which watched the fray from safe points of vantage in the coaches' cottage and the screened in dining room of the first crew.

Headwaiter Jones pitched sterling ball, showing a remarkable knack of always hitting those effete managers who had been casting aspersions on his rowing form at stroke in the Waiters' eight. In fact the managers two lone runs came in the third inning with the bases full of sore-limbed scoffers when Duggan, after chasing a long fly after catching it as he ripped on the quoits peg, and after rolling over and over on the grass, rose smiling and dizzy to throw to second base, in order to put out Halated, who had apparently fallen asleep between second and third. After all this, in his dizziness he threw into the river instead of to the waiting, second sack man.

However in the second half of the inning the waiters nicked the efficiency expert Baldwin for 26 hits by their own count, the game ending at 23-2 because the bystanders liked the score, and because Chef Otto, as referee, called off the game in order to set his victorious assistants to washing glasses. Coach Stevens, as umpire, had been fixed by the waiters beforehand by means of liberal and efficient service.
