For the Amateur ChampIoAship-All
Norwich Awake.

NORWICH, July 6.-The long looked for
and much talked of game between the Nor
wich team and the Mystics for the champion
ship of the Amateur league of the state was
played here yesterday. Nothing has occur
red in this city before in years which has
created 30 much excitement. People were
present from all the surrounding towns. The
supporters of the Mystic team came here
fully five hundred strong, and when the
game began it is estimated that there were
about four thousand people on the grounds.
The steamer City of Norwich, which
brought the Mystic people to this city, was
about forty minutes late and the game was
not called until they arrived. Kidd and
Hackett were the battery for the local club,
and the famous Tabor and Robinson for the
visitors. The Norwich men made eight base
hits and the Mystics six. Those made by
the home team were timely, and it was their
hitting that won the game. The greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed throughout the entire
game, and when the visitors tied the score
in the seventh inning, their hackers nearly
went crazy. The score By innings was as
follows:
Mystic. 0 o O.
Norwich ...............1 0 o 0-1o

THE NATIONAL GAME.

New Ravens Prospects for Winning
the Pennant-A Rumor That Doran
Has Been sold to Rochester-Scores
of Yesterday,s Games-NOtes of Inter.
est.
Another week of the base ball season has
rolled merrily along and New Haven is still
found strongly entrenched in second place
and with good prospect of pulling first
place away from the Orioles before the pres
emit series of home games is finished. Satur-
days defeat by Hartford was a little unex-
pected considering the way New Haven has
pounded Stab formerly. Still even any
second class pitcher Is liable to have luck
with him once in a while. However, as
Baltimore obligingly lost also, the relative
positions of the leaders remain unchanged
and the home team ought to make Baltimore
hustle for first place before the next two
weeks pass by. The home team will have
the advantage of playing on their own
grounds while Baltimore will be playing away
from home and will have to play against the
very best players that the opposing teams
can muster together.
The New Haven team is now complete, and
the players who are on the team at present
will undoubtedly be found here at the close
of the season. The team, as 1t stands to-
day, is unquestionably the finest fielding
team in the association. Pettee showed by
his work Saturday that he is a valuable ac-
QUESTION to the team, and his presence will
strengthen the infeld wonderfully. Although
CahilI has played the base in fine style, his
place is behind the bat. and the cranks hope
to see him in his old position before long.
1t is true that New Haven is not as heavy a
hitting team as Baltimore, but the pitching
talent is better, and the Baltimore papers,
when they compare the merits of
the two teams, as they are fond of
doing, should not forget that they
are not in it with New Haven as far as field
ing is concerned, and as base running team
New Haven Is fully its equal. Taken all in
all, there is no noticeable reason why New
Ravens chances for the pennant are not
fully as good as Baltimore's, but the public
will know better by the time the home games
are fnished. Nothing will encourage the
team to good work any more than good
attendance, and the cranks ought to turn out
in large numbers to the coming games, and
give the team the good backing which ii
richly deserves for its fine work 60 far this
season.

A POTATO Legend.

A curious Berwickshire (Erg.) legend
attributes the introduction OF potatoes into
Scotland to that famous Wizard OF the
North Sir Michael Scott. and according to
the story Michael and the devil, being in
partnership, took the lease of Il farm OF the
Mertoun estate called the "Whitehouse. !"
Michael was to manage the farm, the devil
manage the capital. The produce was to
be divided as follows: The first year Mi
chael was to have all that grew above the
ground, and the devil ali tha5 grew below;
the second year the shares were SO be di-
vided in just the opposite way
His satanic majesty, as one might cup
pose, was badly beaten in his bargain, for
Sir Michael, with true Scottish foresight,
sowed all the land to wheat the first year
and planted it all in potatoc: on the second,
SO the poor devil got nothing for his share
but wheat stubble and potato tops. In
spite Of this legend, however, we must give
Sir Walter Raleigh credit for introducing
the potato into the British Isles The first
potato cultivators of England fell into the
natural error of eating the small green
balls on the vines instead of the tuber.-

An Incident of the New York Postoffice.


It is not difficult to find examples OF
postof1ice efficiency which strike one as be-
ing only little short of the marvellous
The speed of the department in handling
monstrous mails, and the great skin shown
in deciphering illegible handwriting and
Interpreting imperfect and laundering ad
dresses, are often commented on. And this
wonderful system brought about result
recently which was indeed the exception
which proved the rule. A man who daily
receives vast amount of letters went out
Of town. His name evidently has become
so familiar to people In the big postofiice
that a letter dropped there with no ad
dress on it would promptly be sent to his
office. Here Is the proof:
A letter was mailed from his own office
to him at the place where he was staying.
1t never went beyond the postoffice but was
promptly returned with ''the correct" ad-
dress on it-namely, that of his office. The
postoffice officials no doubt thought that
they were saving some one from a stupid
blunder The comedy of the thing, how
ever, was what followed. The letter came
back in the afternoon. 1t was reposted
that night and was back again the next
afternoon. For three days THAT letter was
kept flying between the mans Office and
the postoffice. There was a watchful
picket line which it could not pass. All
this goes to show that it is sometimes in
convenient to be known too well.-New

Electric Light Wires Kill Birds,

Forty-second street, near the Grand Cen
trail depot, and in another moment it fell
to tie pavement, quivering like a leaf in
the wind and was seemingly in death
struggle. One of its wings was partially
burned, and the little thing tried hard to
fly with the other. The fatal electrical
current had evidently done its work, for
the sparrow fell over on its back and turned
