 WATERBURY vs DANBURY.
 The Waterburys went to Danbury yes terday expecting to have a May day picnic with the Matters, who had suffered such an ignominious defeat Saturday at the hands of the Norwalks. They were disappointed, however, and had to work hard to win. It was pitchers battle to the finish, in which Fitzgerald had the best of it, hold ing the Danburys down to one safe hit. Tracey was also effective, but let up in the fifth inning long enough to allow the visit ors to secure five runs, few timely Dan- bury errors being thrown in about the same time. Following is the score by in- nings:
 Waterbury, 0 0 0 5 0 0 0-5 Danbury, o 0 O-3
 Two more hits for Roger Connor yes terday. The big fellow is making up for lost time. 5 E.@
 Anson says he has disposed of all his $1O,O00 beauties and that he has nothing but $15, ,000 players in the team now. His men are certainly playing great ball.
 In the first ten games Mike Kelly played in this season he made this record Batting average, 447; total batting average, 735 He made 12 runs, IF hits, and stole II bases.
 At Norwalk yesterday the Meriden Res olutes defeated the home team to 3 in a close and interesting game. Both teams played sharp fielding game, and the bat ting was light.

 The rumor on the streets to-day concern ing the Burns-Sutton fight, to the effect that it took place last night on Long Isl and, with results disastrous to Burns, lack confirmation. Knowing ones say that the fight has not taken place, but will before many days.
 Admirers of the New York team do not need to borrow trouble. The season is not two weeks gone, and there are several games to be played between now and the 18th of October. The Giants once started off with twelve victories and then didn't get the championship.
 The Washington papers are making the following demands: First, the uneondi tional release of Gilmore second, the un- conditional release of Irwin: third, the replacing of Donnelly at third base, the only position in the infield he can play to the satisfaction of either the management or himself.
 Following is the batting order of the Waterburys and Bridgeports in to-daay's game: Waterbury-Allman, 2b; Mo- Alenny, If; Mellon, of; Phalon, 1b; Holly wood, 3b; Harrington, ss; T. Fitzgerald, Cunningham, If; O'Brien, ss; Gockman, If; Sworbach, p; Strittmatter, c; Schaub, 3b; Williams, 2b; Lovett, of; Sweezy, lib.
 Dan Shannon made his debut in the pitchers box for Omaha, the other day, against the strong Davenport club, and all though the team had hit Cashen and Bur- dick hard, Shannon gave them but 10 scattering singles, shutting them out seven of the nine innings. Davenport made two runs in the first inning and two in the fourth. Although this was Shannon's first game in the box he was very steady neither making wild pitch or giving a man a man a base on balls.
