WORLD OF SPORTS.

Arthur Whitney has made each of the New York play CTS present of heavy wagon tongue bat They were made at his own factory in Lowell, Mass.
 The five leading pitchers of the association are King, Ewing, Hughes, Weyhing and Seward Kings record is an average of 1. .36 earned runs per game in fortynine games.
 Jav Faatz of the Cleveland club has made eleven errors at first base in eighty seven games. His percentage of chances accepted is 9S1. This is phenomenal even in first baseman.
 A grand wrestling and sparring exhibi- tion. in which Mike Burns, Jimmy Haden, Morris Brick, Charley Loughran, James Quigley and Terry Hollywood of this city will take part is to be given at the Main street theatre, Naugatuck, Thursday even ing, September 2o
 An unimportant meeting of the directors of the New Haven Polo company was held last night. It was expected that final ac- tion would be taken i'll regard to putting a team into the field this season, but the meeting of the state league, which was to have been held yesterday, was postponed until Thursday, leaving the local associa tion without any basis to work upon. No business was transacted last evening, but those present talked over the prospects for the coming season. The local managers are in communication with a number of players and if team is put into the field it will be a strong one.
 Thomas Lovett, the star pitcher of the Omaha club, is just twenty -four years old. His professional baseball career began in 1884 with the Waterbury, Conn, Eastern league club, which won the championship. In 1885 he played with the Providence, R. l., league team and later in the season with the Athletics of Philadelphia. In 1887 he began the season with Bridgeport, Conn, but the team disbanding he signed with the Oshkosh He pitched twenty-five games with the latter club, losing only two He has pitched twenty games for Omaha and lost only eight. In these contests he has faced some of the best batters in the country and many a good ''slugger' has gone down before his curves. He pitches a wonderful ball which combines curve and speed and is we'll calculated to deceive the best batsman. In addition to his pitching Lovett plays ball with his head and when game is lost it can be depended upon that he alone is not responsible. Aside from his ball playing Lovett is a gentleman in every sense of the word and is esteemed highly by all his acquaintance. He is the only married man in the team and at present is rejoiced over the advent of bright little girl baby who will, in years to come, sit in the grand stand and watch her papa strike out the opposing team.-Omaha Herald.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Two Johns.'

An audience that completely filled Ford's opera house greeted "The Two Johns' last night, and the house fairly shook with laughter from the time the curtain rose until it fell on the final scene. It is hard to de scribe ''The Two Johns." The author him self apologies and says the farce was written only to make people laugh. To make people laugh so constantly there must be something genuinely funny on the stage all the time. The fun must never cease and it must be contagious, and it is but fair to say the fun in the ''The Two Johns is incessant. nt.-Baltimore American. Al Jacques opera house this evening.

 Haven-A Lively Convention and
 Victory for the Administration Force.
