Says the Press It was in the eighth that Umpire Daniels got his work in on Roger Connor. Roger hit ball to the right field. It struck the stone wall on almost dead line from the bat and stuck in crevice. Roger made the circuit of the bases, while the wolkin rang with applause. After he got home, Connor, like the man in the celebrated base ball song who Iran the bases three times or more, was informed, "Young man, you've knocked a foul" The ball was fair by twenty feet, but the umpire wouldn't have it, and Roger was so rattled: that he struck out.
 Hardie Richardson was talking about the old Buffalo club of 1880 not long ago, and is fine player. He is called "Cut-the- ball Purcell" The Buffalo club was play ing in Providence. I was in left, O'Rourke in center and Blondie in right. It had been raining, and Calvin, dear old chap, couldn'tshandle the ball it had become so slippery. In those days we dressed in the club house instead of at the hotel. O'Rourke explained the Bisons. The game was go- ing against us. Between innings O'Rourke slipped into the club house and got his pocket knife. He gave it to Purcell and ! tunity Blondie did so and was caught in the act Of course it made quite sensa- tion, and O'Rourke got out of it by fning Purcell. No wonder O'Rourke has since developed into lawyer. 'f4.5 "@ l At Now York-New York, Il; Philadel-
