WORLD OF SPORTS.

James O'Rourke, says the New York Herald, is playing just as we'll as he did twenty years ago.
 There are five New York players who have percentage of batting better than 300, namely-Ewing, Connor, O'Rourke, Herman and Gore.
 Mike Kelly says the Bostons will not land better than fourth. That is pretty talk for the captain of team which is thought to be pennant winner.
 Joe Battin was fined $50 for sassing an | umpire Friday at Syracuse. The same day Walker, the colored catcher, was fined $50 by Manager Hackett for indifferent play.
 | A. G. Spalding is about to spring a new scheme on the base ball trust. It is noth- ing less than the classification of the va rious leagues, with the league and asso- citation in class A and the minor leagues string down to D The whole combination is to work together, and the higher classes will have power to call upon the smaller fry for any player they may take a fancy 1 to.
 Ted Sullivan of the Washington club was in Wilkesbarre Saturday and witness ed the Wilkesbarre- Hartford game. MT Sullivan went there with the expectation of buying the release of Left Fielder Beech CT, Pitcher Fitzgerald and Third Baseman John Irwin But the Washingtons say the will have to return home without bagging any game. MT Sullivan says he was under the impression when he left Washington that the Wilkesbarre club was about to dis band for the want of patronage and that he could buy several of the players cheap. Owing to the position occupied by the Wilkesbarre club in the race for the At lantic association pennant, there is g strong local feeling against the release of is paid the club management will sell.
 ROSE HILLS vs soUTHINGroNs.
 In the game at Southington Saturday the Rose Hills were outplayed both at the
 bat and in the field The Southingtons
 batted T. Fitzgerald out of the box early in the game and J. Fitzgerald took his place, Paul McAlenuy, late of the Dayton, O., team, caught good game for the Waterburys. The score by innings:
 Southingtons 371 3 o 0 1 0 x-14
 Rose Hills 0 0 5 l 0 O- co vs ROSE HILL SOCIAL CLUB.
 The 100 or more people who attended the ball game Saturday afternoon on the Wes1 End grounds between Co G and the Rose Hills, witnessed contest which reminded them of the old time ball playing in 'S4 Both teams had an incentive to urge then
 to victory and until the last inning wal played neither team at any time had an t advantage. Every man ielded his posi- ton finely and the few errors were some
 times excusable ones. Each team had it r sympathizers and encouraging cheers would urge both on to success. Thirtee1 hits with total of 15 were made by thu
 G men off Dalton, the Rose Hills pitcher
 who was finely supported in the field
 while only 4 with total of scatterini 2 hits were made off Phelan, Co G's twirle } of the sphere. It was good contest ant e worthy better patronage. It is possible : game for $50 side will be arranged 3 between the two teams. Co G wins tn @ $50 stakes and the gate receipts and pa. : all expenses. J. Cunningham umpiret e the game with satisfaction and woul' 0 make a good umpire for some of tn t leagues, as he is honest and watchful an' . gives his decisions with Q hrmness whicl n allows no dispute. Below is the ofiicia I score:
