Burnhsm's men. The home team will be by the accession of Burdock, who will arrive this morning. There is hard- ly the shadow of 8 doubt but what Tommy Corcoran will play short, as by the plan laid out by the New Haven delegates to the At Iantic association meeting this morning in New York the other managers can do noth- ing else than decide the case in favor of New Haven. Cahill will catch, as O'Rourke's right hand is in bad condition. Either Meade or Walker will pitch for New Haven and in all probability Burkett for Worcester.
 Harvard won from Princeton at Cambridge on Saturday by the score of to 3. Dean won the game in the seventh by rapping out a clean hit when the bases were filled. Young pitched for Princeton.
 The Yale freshmen and the Harvard fresh men played five innings on the Yale field. and Yale won by 29 to 1. Sturtevant and Heffelfnger was the battery for Yale and Wood and Hulley for Harvard.
 On Wednesday, May g. in the Harvard- Yale freshman game at Cambridge Harvard played Hawley in the box. Hawley is a graduate of Hobart college and is now at Harvard university in the senior class 'S9 Harvard claims the right to play him as a freshman, as it is his first year st college. This is an old trick of Harvard's, as they have used it in football as well as base ball. The result of fifteen minute discussion be- tween the captains was that Harvard would play with Hawley or not at all. Rather than scented to play the game under protest. Hawley is change pitcher and left fielder for the University team, and played in the game against Princeton on Saturday.
 The dry goods clerks to the number of 30 met at the Elliott House yesterday afternoon and formed what will be known as the New Haven Dry Goods base ball association. The following officers were elected: President and manager, E. l.. Howe; secretary and treasurer, John F. Hanley; captain, J. Har- mon Bronson.
 The following committee on finances was appointed: Dennis O'Reiley, J. H. Bronson, B. L. Howe, A. L. Ellison, Charles Walker and Arthur G. DeBussy. Much enthusiasm was manifested by those present, and the outlook for the success of this enterprise seems very bright. The team will put in an hour and half of hard practice every even ing and by July they expect to turn out a pretty strong nine. The league consists of Springfield, New Haven and Bridgeport. The first games will probably be played at Springfield. Bridgeport playing there in the and New Haven in the afternoon.
 Another meeting will be held in the Sars- fields room at the srmory, on Friday, June 7, when the officers will decide upon a uni form and have the team measured for them.
 The Tuberose baseball club are willing to accept the Turner's challenge and will play money. The manager of the Turner's nine is to answer to Fred Ensign, 520 Congress avenue.
 The New Haven team has done well during the past week to win one game. They ought ern tour next Thursday, playing in Easton on that day and on Saturday. The team is now somewhat better off for pitchers than it has been, and would be now if Sworback did not lose courage so easily. He is very pe- culiar in that respect. It does not take much for him to lose heart entirely. What he needs is 8 captain to speak encouraging words to him. This is his first professional en- and he must be made to feel as If everyone was in sympathy with him. He can pitch the ball over the plate, but he tries to fool the batsmen too much. He is afraid he will be hit hard. He is learning new ,tz' H ba sf delivery s.oaire saS in It 'ins is slow ball, and twice on Thursday he had "Gentle Willie" Murphy striking at 1t before it reached the plate. But he hasn't got command of the ball yet for that style of delivery. When he gets so that he can con- Lrol the ball all right and can vary the slow with the swift ball, he will be one of the star pitchers of the league. He should prac- tice all his spare time.
 It is not probable that Horner will be able to pitch for some time. 'Tis too bad, for, when in condition. he Is @ good pitcher. There seems to be little doubt that the injury he received when O'Connell, the Hartford foha okr uoH ira iv, $hn hao1 xDif he ball, has been the cause of his illness. In Lowell, when fourteen hits, four of them nome runs, were made of him, his tempera- ture was 100. It is wonder how he ever lasted the game out. He had to take to his bed and was out of his head for two days, being threatened with brain fever.
 George Walker, the pitcher, signed con- .ract with New Haven on Saturday. George s in good condition and from all accounts he ought to do good work. Manager Burnham of the Worcesters speaks very we'll of him. He says Walker has good speed and has com- nand of the ball. He pitched for the Wor- testers last season and Burnham sold his re- ease to Baltimore for $500. He got the malaria down there and had to return to his nome in Canada. After recovering he got Ipiked in the hand and was unable to play my last season. The first game he has pitched this season was in Hartford for the New Ravens.
 Manager Burnham does not think Dick Conway's arm is gone. He says he has mo- iced a steady improvement in him since last bring and he thinks that his arm will be all fight after awhile. Dicks many friends lope it will be so. h condition he would ,e the star pitcher of this league. His drop" curve VAS something phenomenal. t was done with 8 quick motion of the wrist, but to-day the 'snap'' that is so vital o this curve is apparently dead. He had 'een laid off without pay, until he could get n condition, and on the day the New Ravens played there he returned and said he was all fight. He went in and was batted unmerci ully. Again he was laid of, but finally it vas arranged that he should accompany the cam on it's western trip for the purpose of predicting.
 New Haven people will have an oppor- 10 much has been said regarding his "dirty" actics in playing ball. Worcesters paid 3t. Louis $500 for him. He is great 'oacher and an everlasting kicker. Many is the time when, seeing hat an opposing team was ahead, le has cut the ball with a knife just before his side came to the bat. A new ball ! pitcher cannot get the 'grip" on 8 new ball hat he can on an old one, Cudworth's boys tand good chance of getting in several hits if new ball. Cudworth and John Meister will do anything to win game of ball.
 Schefier of the Worcesters has been hitting he ball hard. In but three games this sea on has he failed to get . hit, and one of hese games was when Sworback pitched.
 Those New Haven people are in bad way, ,ut they want good talent, and will pay sat- sfactory salaries to satisfactory men 'porting Times.
