 "Dumpy" Williams will probably arrive here in a day or so. Manager Harris tele- graphed to Williams home in Indiana and told him to start immediately.-Bri port Farmer.
 Hamilton, of the Waterburys of 1887, who finished the past season with the Kansas Citys, ranked thirty-seventh among the ninetyfour batsmen in the association, with an average of .250.

 Yale defeated Princeton by the score of 10 to o in Saturdays game on the Polo grounds. Considerable money changed hands on the result odds being given on the Princetons.
 Before the polo season opened the New Haven papers said Meriden and Bridgeport had the "weakest teams'' in the league. | Well, those ''weak teams" rather surprised the league last week, especially New | Haven.
 | The death is announced of Len Sowders, the heavy hitting right fielder of the Lon don (OnD club, which occurred at Indian apolis on the afternoon of Nov 21, from typhoid fever. He was brother of the Boston pitcher. Sowders played here with the Jersey City, in 1887
 Ward, short stop for New York, has been sold to Washington for $12, 1000. This is the highest price ever paid for ball player. Boston offered $15, 900, but Presi- dent Day thought to let him go there would strengthen that team too much. Ward will have full control of the Washingtons.
 One of the good things accomplished by the league was the rule which will permit a scorer to give player credit for three bagger or home run hit which brings in the winning run. This is accomplished by counting all runs made, after the win ming one is scored, until the ball is return ed to the pitcher.
 Brian E. Lynn, New Haven's pet swords man and Chevaier Xavier Orlofski, the German giant who served as a chopping block for the plucky Irishman, are having hard luck, After all preliminaries had been arranged and every difficulty sur mounted, Meriden's mayor has tipped things Unto the soup" by withdrawing the license which he had granted. He did this in response to petition from business men who thought the contest would be too rich for Meriden's blood.

That is the only peace acceptable to French hearts" He inveighed against policy that divided the forces of the country, causing misleading appearance of weakness, and strongly denounced M. Ferry for wasting the country's resources in Ton quin while cognizant of the perils which threatened France

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-John Teemer is no longer champion oarsman of America, and his hope of soon holding the worlds championship is crushed. Saturdays race was a revelation and a surprise to all save the enthusiastic packers of O'Conner, the Canadian oarsman. Teemer, the heretofore invincible, was not in it at all. O'Conner took the lead with the first five strokes, and increased it almost at will. Teemer spurted bravely coming home from the turn, but it ayailed him nothing. He was fairly and completely rowed out and out rowed O'Conner finished fresh in 21 min, 29 sec. |, ten seconds ahead of the ex-champion.

THAT OPEN LETTER.

Elsewhere is printed an open letter OF
inquiry to Hon. Alexander Moore, which
deals exclusively with his action as a
member of the legislature in 1881 and in
1883. 1t is couched in respectful terms,
all personal illusions having been elimi-
mated. The HERALD does not presume
that Mr.. Moore cannot give satisfactory
answer in the way of denial, but a gen.
eral denial will not satisfy the people OF
this district, whose votes he is soliciting.
1t must be explicit and in detail. The
writer evidently has, or thinks he has,
sufficient information to warrant these
inquiries. Mr.. Moore owes it to the
people of this district to make courteous
reply, and failing to do so he certainly
will have no occasion to feel aggrieved il
votes are withheld from him by those
who believe that they have some rights
which railroads and usurers are bound TO
respect.
