SaturQay afternoon Manager Spence ana President Rogers of the Yale team came to Yales and the New Havens. The first game l will be played at the Howard avenue grounds | next Saturday afternoon at 3:30. In order to meet Yale Manager Spence offered to play could cancel her date with that team for Saturday. It is rumored that Stagg will go in the box against the New Ravens, as the collegians had about as lief beat the New Ravens as to win the college championship. It is said that Stsgg is quietly practicing, so as to be in trim in case of an emer. gency. This will probably be one of the greatest games of the season, as there is intense rivalry between college and city peo- pie as regards the merit of the two teams. Everything between the Yale management and the New Haven management is of the friendliest sort. Yale has game here on the afternoon of decoration day, and in order not to conflict Manager Spence will ask Hart ford to play here in the morning instead. This will give New Haven game at home on the afternoon of July 4, instead of in the morn ing. There has also been another re- arrange- ment of the schedule. Wilkesbarre is booked to play here on May IA and 15, but | in order to meet Yale on the 18th Manager Spence has fixed the Wilkesbarre dates on May 13 and 14.
 It is really fun to hear what some of the people connected with the Atlantic associa- tions are saying. Meister, second baseman of the Worcesters, modestly says that the championship will lay between Worcester, Newark and Jersey City, while Hartford will come out near the top, and New Haven and Lowell will be battling for last place. The Hartford Times is pushing things when it says that Hartford has team of pennant winners. Yes, New Haven had one of the same kind in '97. New Haven will be satis- fled with last place if it's team only plays good ball and the players behave them selves.
 The Worcesters went to Boston Saturday and the Bostons wiped the earth with them, 8 to 2. And this is the team that some say will win the pennant. Pshaw!
 On Saturday the Hartfords went to Plain vile and defeated the ten year boys by the score of 16 to 5. There is only one man on the Plainvilles that acted as if he ever had 8 ball in his hands before, and he was the catcher.

 sacrifice hitting.
 The result between the New Works and Brooklyns Saturday was complete surprise. Crane had been landed from Europe but six hours, yet the Brooklyns could not touch him. Lovett pitched for the Brooklyns.
 Princeton is making good showing. The question is, will they keep it up?
 The Washington club paid $S, 900 to Bos- ton for the release of Morrill, and Wise. Morrill, says he wants $5,000 to captain and manage the Washingtons, and Wise wants S, 900.
 The Jersey City club has released "Jack" Corcoran and Rhines.
 Gerhardt has been appointed captain of the Jersey Citys.
 The Prince.ons were defeated by the Jer- sey Citys Saturday, 2 to o. Jersey City got but two hits of Ames, and Princeton three of Landman. Neither side would probably have scored in the nine innings if King, in right field, had not made beautiful mutf.
 Manager Spence will give Pitcher Swor- bach Q trial. Jim ORourke recommends him as he caught him in two games that he pitch ed last season for the New Yorks.

 Next Mondays game will be the first the Harvard boys have played against the Bos- tons in six years. There have been some ex- citing games before now between the League team and Harvard.
 Judging from their display against the Athletics, the Princeton team is the strongest college organization Philadelphisns have ever had the pleasure of seeing, and if they play that sort of game against Yale and Harvard they should win the college championship easily. Ames and Brokaw make a strong battery, and Durell, the center fielder. is good enough for almost any team.-Sporting Life.
 Billy Robert of the Metropolitans proposes to start training classes for youthful base ball players, with the idea of bringing out new material. It is his purpose to organize three classes-one in New York, one in New Jersey and one in Connscticut-and to give one or two morning lessons week at each place.
