 Manager Burnham of Worcester has signed
 Pitcher Stafford.
 Times, has resigned and gone to Europe. Dewitt Ray, one of the cleverest base ball writers in the country, has assumed the edit orship. The Sporting times is the best base ball paper published.
 President Davidson of the Louisvilles is likely to sell his controlling interest. Sam Trott, manager of the Newarks, says his team will have the neatest uniform of any team in the,Atlantic association. Tim Keefe says the Atlantic association Is bound to be success. Lilly, the famous fielder of the Buffalos, and later with the Kansas Citys, wants, an engagement He formerly lived in New Hs- ven.
 Joe Sullivan has signed to catch for New ark. He has played with the Boston Blues and the New York Reserves. Jack Lynch, who pitched for the Metro- politans when they won the championship in the American association, desires to come to New Haven, provided Holbert, who caught for Brooklyn last season, is engaged with him. The Sporting Times of Sunday contained @ good likeness of Walter w. BuInham, man. ager of the Worcesters, and also of John H. Mandigo, who does the base ball work for the New York Sun.
 Halpin, formerly of the New Ravens, is looking for an engagement. Manager Pat Powers is quite pleased with
 the outlook in New Haven. The city was the especial selection of Mir. Powers, and he firmly believes that it will be one of the best minor league cities.-Sporting Times. It is very probable that two Of the umpires of the new Atlantic association will be Lon Knight and Mahoney.
 The Wilkesbarre club has twelve players
 on its reserve list, but it is not likely that all will be retained. John Irwin will no doubt | play third base and captain and manage the ! team, and Tommy Corcoran is pretty sure of playing shortstop. John Mckee on account | of his base-running is almost sure to figure in right-feld. One of the pitchers will be John Fitzgerald and one of the catchers will be Tommy Dowse of Albany, who caught F1tz l last year. Frank Brill may again hold down ! first base and Black play in center field. It is not so sure that Eddie Beecher will again capture the flies in left-feld. John Cuf, catcher, is rather too fond of the ardent. John F. Roach, pitcher, has plenty of speed good control and strong curves, but his bat ting and running are very much against his success as a player. Ben Chadwick played d ! good second base until he was injured and he may be given another chance this season. Bancroft's bed next season will not be one of roses. He certainly took great responsi~ bility on his shoulders when he agreed to manage the Hoosiers. The Gorham base ball club, the colored
 organization of New York, have decided to
 locate at Stamford. An effort will be made
 to get the club admitted to the Eastern League, of which the Cuban Giants, Uticas, Easterns and the Waterbury club are mem bers. Manager Butler is anxious to hear from all Connecticut clubs, particularly Nor wich and Bridgeport, ut his address, No. 1S715 Bleecker street.
 Ia Waterbury, the old Brooklyns have reorganized under the name of the Water- burys, and have elected M. Fitzgerald presi- dent, manager and captain. The base ball team to be placed in the field may be called semi-professionals, but it is strong one. Harry Bates will pitch in most of the
 games of the Melrose club during the coming
 season.
