THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Waterburys will play in Derby to- morrow.
 McGeachy played his first game with In- dianapolis yesterday, and secured three base hit,
 At Norwalk yesterday the Bridgeports were defeated by the home team by a score of II to '.
 Roger Connor says he has about got through strining out, ''Pve got my eye on the ball." says Roger, "and I expect to keep it there."
 ''Tve only one objection against Roger Connor,' said stockholder Martin, of the Indianapolis team, land that is that he isn't in the Indianapolis club.'
 Base ball is agitating the fire companies and the Nameaugs are now thinking of getting up a nine.-New London Telegraph. Here is chance for the Phoenix boys.
 The Waterburys and Danburys will play in this city this afternoon, weather permit ting Williams and Egan will constitute the battery of the Waterburys and Doran and Miller of the visitors.
 .Jacky Flynn, the old Meriden pitcher, now of the Omahas, was victorious against the St Paul team the other day, by score of to 1, allowing his opponents only two hits. It will be remembered that Flynn was laid off by Chicago early last season, because his arm gave out and he was una ble to pitch at any time during the remain der of the season. This year he has an rn- derhand delivery entirely, and in the games he has pitched so far he has been very ef- fective.
 A dispatch from Pittsburg says :: "Just before the Chicago team left for home to- night there was lively scene in the hotel lobby. Pitcher Baldwin complained about Anson taking him out of the box and sub- stituting Ryan. He said that only seven hits had been made off him and there was no occasion for the change. Pfeffar, Will liamson and all the other players sided with Baldwin, and Pfeffer went so far as to tell Anson he made queer breaks at l times. Anson grew very indignant and said he would put in man whene ger he wanted. Baldwin was nearly heal cbroken for being taken out of the box, for his best girl, parents, grandparents and nearly a score of relations and intimate friends were present. It is said that Anson has decided to make some change in his ir6eld. Burns may be laid off.

IT WILL BE HOP BROOK.

The Ouassapaug Water Privilege Would
 Cost Too Much.
 At the regular monthly meeting of the board of water comm issioners held last evening, the usual monthly bills were ap- proved.
 petition from Edward Keegan asking for an addition of 300 feet of water pipe on the old Waterville road near the Seery place was reported favorably by the board.
 Another petition for new water main on North Park avenue through to Spark street was also favorable reported.
 The board who visited lake Quassapaug last week sent the following report to the court of common council:
 To the Court of Common Council of the City of
 Waterbury:
 Gentlemen-The board of water com missioners hereby respectfully report that the negotiations for the purchase of the land for the new reservoir at the head of Hop brook and the right of way for the pipes leading from it ordered by your honorable body are we'll advanced and they hope soon to report the conditional con tracts for your approval. When the pro- jected reservoir is completed and filled it is thought that in connection with the present works, there will be ample supply of water for a city of more than double our present population, and the necessity for further supply from lake Quassapaug which could be used as feeder to that reservoir is a question of the future. To utilize the waters of that lake it would be necessary to obtain authority from the state legislature, to take and divert the waters also to control the shores of and the access to the lake, and to purchase the water right of the several mill privileges between the lake and the Housatonic river. These, as they are informed, are six in number, including the one formerly owned by the Southford Paper company and now owned by MT Luther c. White, from whom the accompanying letter has been received. In view of the fact that his offer necessi- tates the purchase of large amount of property in land, buildings and machinery, besides the water rights, which is the only thing the city would require, and the un- certain expense of purchasing the other | rights of the stream, the board does not | recommend the acceptance of the proposi- l tion of MT White, but herewith submit it to your honorable body.
 N. J. WILTON, President, D. B. HAMILTON,
 J. J. MCDONALD, Water D. J. CASEY, Commissioners. E. T. TURNER,
 The letter of MT White referred to in the above report was one the DEMOCRAT has spoken of before, offering the Quassapaug property and water privileges for sale for $1O0,OO0.
 The board adjourned for one month.

BASEBALL TALK.

Tim Keefe signed with the New York club at salary of S4 ,OOO.
 Jim Whitney, of the Washington club, Is laid up with pleurisy.
 Ed Williamson will enter the throwing tournament at Cincinnati
 Two of the best outfelders produced by the Association last season are Tebeau, of the Cincinnati, and Griffin, of the Baltimore.
 Hallman, of the Philadelphia club, started out as pitcher. In 1885, while pitching for the Atlantic City team, he retired Stovey, of the Athletic club, three times in succession on strikes.
 Manager Merrill says of ''Smiling Billy" Sowders: 'I think he will prove to be one of the finest pitchers Boston has ever had. He delivers the ball as straight and as sharp as an arrow. His actions resemble those of Whitney in many particulars. He is hitter and a worker"
 Two or three parties have claimed the credit of bringing Clarkson out as pitcher and player, and the right one was not men, tioned. The one who gave Clarkson his first lessons in pitching, and gave him that in- struction which has formed the basis of his success, was Tom Bond, the famous pitcher of the Boston teams of 1877, '7S, '79, 80 and 's1
