Why Didn,t she Mets Come2 The Jersey Cltys Defeat the New Korks--Tfm Keefe in New Haven.
 There was no reason why the Nets did not come. Charlie Jones, who plays third base, came to New Haven yesterday morning at eight o'clock, being sent here to see that the grounds were all right. He said yesterday afternoon that if everything was in readiness that he should not telegraph, and that no attention should be paid to any other tele- gram but his. He said he did not telegraph, inference is, why didn't the Nets come.- A stockholder says that the proprietor of the hotel where Jones stopped, told him that Jones did send dispatch, the nature of which was not known. If he did so, then that settles the matter. But even if he didn't, according to the agreement between Jones and the Nets, they should have been here.
 The Nets open in Hartford tomorrow. New Haven extends it's sympathy. Hope some of the Nets will be soaked out by that time.
 Tim Keefe of the New York team was at the game yesterday. He is looking well. A COURIER reporter chatted with him. He thinks the ground is a good one, and he thinks well of the team. He says the New Haven team is composed of speedy base runners. Bob Petit was also in the city yes- terday.
 Johnnie Dodds writes to the COURIER from Marion, N. J. He says there must be two Johnnie Dodds, but it was not he who was defeated by Anthony in Meriden. He is in Marion, where he was called on account of the serious illness of his brother. He says Anthony cannot dafaak him
