 Paul McAlenny promises to be hard hitter.
 Bill Mellon has not got his eye on the ball yet.
 Roger Connor did hit the ball Saturday for wonder.
 John Henry has signed with the Wor l testers. He and Derby will be paired as a battery.
 Barney Mclaughlin is not doing the right thing by the Lowell club, and Joe Quest is likely to prove his successor.
 The Reso1utes of Meriden defeated the Derbys at Derby Saturday 5 to 4, and the Norwalks defeated the Danburys at Dan bury 26 to 5.
 The Worcesters defeated the Lowells 9 to Saturday. Campion made home run, and Hamilton two doubles. Wheeler failed to hit safely. The Pittsburg management don't want to trade Whitney for Catcher Mcguire of the Philadelphias, and have given the Lowell club permission to negotiate with Whitney. He may be sold for $2, ,000.
 Clarkson is devoting an hour or two every evening in instructing Bill Sowders, and he asserts that he will make one of the finest pitchers out of the young Hoosier f1,of i+o1 1nI 1o11 players look upon Sowders as one of the coming pitchers.
 Expectations people looked upon the Syracuse Stars as unlucky. They have thirteen players on the team, thirteen di- rectors to govern it's affairs, and the club started on it's preliminary trip on Friday, the 18th day of the month. But when Joe Battin spits on the ball, and Bill Higgins gets imbered up that team will make the fur fly.
 Little Miller, the catcher of the Pitts burg nine, who was hurt by colliding with 1 PHefer in Fridays game, is in a serious condition. The injuries to his side are so painful that the physicians have not as yet been able to thoroughly examine him. It is thought that two or three of his ribs are broken, and that he has received inter nal injuries we'll.
 James Monahan won the 90 mile running match between Monahan and Richardson at the Quinnipiac rink, New Haven, Satur- day night, making the distance without stopping or walking in two hours and 55 1 minutes. The fastest mile was Monahan' s second, minutes and 40 seconds. The last mile was run in 16 minutes and SC seconds. The stake money was $1OO, and the bets amounted to about $380 on Rich ardson to $250 on MoDahan. John O'Regan, the famous New York oarsman, said of the Bob Cook stroke '1 have not seen the Yale crew this year, but I understand they are doing good work. ] have no faith in the much talked of Bot Cook stroke. It is too slow. The men don't catch the water quickly enough.
 They don't go back far enough. A profes-
 sional crew would catch the water before
 the Yale boys could start to recover. The
 only good thing about the stroke is that
 the headway of the boat is not stopped; but
 the fact that it has not been adopted by
 professionals shows that is not what it is
 boasted to be-"
 A special from Philadelphia says
 Pitcher Ferguson of the Philadelphia clut
 is dead. As 8 pitcher Ferguson had nc
 superior While he had not had the ex- perience of Radbourn and others, and wal
 therefore not their equal in headwork ano
 coolness, he made up for it by puzzlins and swift delivery. Added to his pitch
 ing ability, he was also an exceptional. fine fielder in his position, and was un doubtedly the best batter of any pitche in the country. He was born in Char lottesville, Va, April IT, 1868, and bega, his base ball career with college team O.
 the University of Virginia, and thel
 played season with the Richmond club :, after which he went to Philadelphia H ,, had been sick for some time, but had s z z far recovered that he was expected to pla, soon.
