 DiSgraceful Action OR the Baltimore Rase Ball Team.
 The Baltimores, who broke their contract to play here with the Yale nine, are thus reached for by the Boston Herald, which says
 ''their action is hardly creditable proceeding on the part of that club" while Manager Bancroft of the Worcesters, as we'll as Wright of the Bostons, gave MT. Phillips, the mana ger of the Baltimores, a severe scolding for wanting to break contract with them. MT. Phillips wants to play here Saturday and MT. Shepley will refuse to have anything more to do with the club. They have been under contract to play with four different clubs to- day, and the Boston papers have all taken g shot at them. The Yale College team is as good as any team outside of the League in the country, save perhaps the Nationals, and
 Manager Shepley has arranged games with 8 great many leading clubs, but has been very unfortunate in having games interfered with by rain and other causes Clubs coming to New Haven will be treated courteously by both Manager Shepley and the nine, and it will profit Mir. Phillips nothing to undertake to snub either shepley or the Yale nine. Death of Judgo Blackman. In the death of Judge Alfred Blackman,
 which occurred yesterday morning at his resi- dence in Church street, New Haven has lost one of it's most esteemed, honored and widely beloved citizens man whose death will be sincerely and generally mourned. A man of old-tims courtliness of manner, of fine pres ence, of cultivated mind, sterling integrity and one of the oldest and most highly esteemed members of the bar of Connecticut, he filled 8 place in the estimation and hearts of the con- munity, which it is the fortune of few to at tain. His life reflected honor upon human unGurS TOT III u1u1 1CS RlQUuQoSS was Deaut1- fully represented. For a number of years past his presence in public had been missed, failing health restricting him to the home circle almost exclusively. For the last two months he had failed rapidly, but while his death was not unexpected by his family and immediate friends, his demise caused surprise and deep expressions of regret among the legal frster- Lr,r zbo, I,a, hnJ1 iv, ;o1 as an ornament to the profession.
 Judge Blackman was born in Newtown, this State, in December, 1908, and consequently was in his seventy-seoond year. He was one of three sons, the only survivor now being Samuel G. Blsckman, who resides on the cor ner of Wall and Church streets. Judge Black man graduated at Yale in 1828 and shortly afterwards opened law office in Humphreys vile, now Seymour. He moved from there to ried Miss Abbie Beers, who belonged in New. town.
 In 1944 he removed from Waterbury to New Haven, and has resided in this city since that time. He was judge of the Superior Court in Waterbury, and upon the death of Robinson s. Hinman in 1843, who was the Probate judge here, he came down to fill the duties of the office. In 1s46 he was elected judge of the County Court. In 1855 he was elected Mayor of the city, position which he filled with credit. He was also for a number of years clerk of the United States District Court, when Charles A. IngersoL was the judge He was elected Senator from the Fifth Senate rial district in 1s42, and in 1855 was sent as Representative from New Haven to the Gen. eral Assembly, his colleague being James E. English.
 Judge BlackmAn has always bsen life long Democrat, although he never took very prominent or active part in the party. In 1856 he was sent delegate to the conven- tion that nominated James Buchanan for the Presidency.

The last time he was in the Court house was during the Hayden trial, when for short time he sat with Chief Justice Park on the bench.

Another son, Samuel O., died about ten years ago. The county bar have meeting this afternoon at two o'clock to take action upon the demise of Judge Blackman.
