league has been received and Petit has been informed that he is ineligible to play with the New Haven ball club. The news came day ago, but it might just as we'll have come at the end of the season for all the good it will do.
 When Burnham received the telegram from Phelps he was not surprised but went to work and sprung something on the League which will take them some time to recover from. A special meeting was held of the Atlantic association last night in Phila- delphia, and it was voted then and there that Mr. Pettit can play with the New Haven team, decision or no decision. The Atlantic people did not think that New Haven had been used right in either the Pitz or fettit cases, and they decided that Petit can play until the board of arbitration meets and takes notice of Psttit's last claim. Zach Phelps said in his letter that the board had decided that by right of reserva- ton Pettit's services belonged to Toronto, whereas MT. Burnham has been told by these members of the board that they never heard the evidence in the case. This puts MT. ly said that every member of the board had voted on it. It was sharp move by the Atlantic people and bids no good for the Ma tional league unless they come down from their high horse and stop favoring the Ameri- can associacion in every decision that the board of arbitration makes.
 Pettit's friends claim that he was not ten- dered contract before April l, has not yet been noticed by the board and the meeting of the association may open the eyes of those high officials and bring them to their senses. There is no doubt that the board decided erroneously and New Haven enthu- siasts may rest assured that "Reddy" Is a fixture on the New Haven team for the present.

 AT THE AMATEUKs, GROUNDS. orange Streets Defeat she Hopkins' Grammar school Nine A Lively Game.
 The Orange Streets of the New Haven Amateur league and the Hopkins Grammar school teams played game that would do. light any sdmirer of the national game at the Amateur league grounds yesterday afternoon. It was the first game for the Orange street team and their friends were out in force to watch the game and then compare them with the Ssgwas who suffered an inglorious defeat at the hands of the high school team Wednesday. The Orange street boys played ball from beginning to end and succeeded in regaining for the league it's prestige lost by the miserable work of the Sagwas.
 There were about 400 people in attendance including quite number of ladies. The Grammar School team was not weak in any respect, but simply succumbed as the ma jority of teams. will when they cross bats with the Orange Streets. The fielding of and the four errors with which they are credited were caused by the wet ball.
 Probably the most interesting feature of the contest was the base running of the Orange Street team. They are credited with having committed theft of bases fifteen times, not a very bad record considering the good back stop work of Pratt.
