 The Southingtons were on their mettle Saturday in the game with the Rose Hills of this city. Up to the eighth in- ming it was very close game, the score standing II to12 in favor of the Rose Hills, but when the Southington bows came to the bat they made seven hits scoring eight runs, The game all through was very interesting and close. Pagan had his arm wrenched in the third inning and had to retire from the box. The score was 19 to 12 The Southlngtons made twenty -one hits with total of twenty-three to thirteen with a total of fifteen for-the Waterburys.
 Harry Spence has in the opinion of most base ball cranks made a dismal failure in New Haven as manager. The town was regarded as one of the best in the Atlantic league to support team and the attendance was large until it e'o NioSSiHeNl tiittU lile lettIn was an ln- ferior one. New Haven lovers of base ball are showing their lack of interest in the club by a large falling off in atten- dance and this is wholly due to the poor work of the nine. The directors, real izing that professional base ball is doom- ed in the city unless the nine can win a game occasionally, are looking for new players.
 The one mile running match that was advertised to take place at the Derby trotting park at 6 p. m. on Saturday last between Nolan of Waterbury and Dalv of Derby did not materialize. Burns, Nolan's packer, was on the ground in good season with his man, but owing to | the bad management or no management at all of the Daily party, who were sup posed to have the arrangements in hand l the race could not be held. At the time | the race was to take place good sized | crowd who had paid to see base ball | game that had just come to an end re- fused to leave the grounds. The chief | of police soon arrived and marched the | crowd out and at the same time informed | the packers of the men that no race could occur as they had received no license. The match has been postponed until Friday of this week. when it will come off. 1t is safe to be a good race as both men are fast and in condition.
