DOrans Cahill and Lally Fined-Doran Also Suspended-Manager Burnham
 on the Affair.
 Three of the players of the New Haven base ball club were yesterday disciplined by the management for loose play and causing the loss of games thereby. Doran was fined $50 and indefinitely suspended for drunkenness and insubordination. Ca hill and Lally will also each be called upon to forfeit $25 of their salary for loose play. It has been noticed for | some time by the spectators that l several members of the club have not been lately playing the game they were capable of doing. While Doran has done some re- markedly fine work for the local team this season, it is at the same time apparent to any one that his work lately has not been nearly up to his former standard, but has been, on the whole, very indifferent. This is probably due to the fact that the man agement have received several offers for his services from other clubs under the na- tional agreement, and more particularly to the fact that he has recently been ap- preached by the Brooklyn Brotherhood club with view to joining that organiza- tion.
 The fined players all went to see Presi- dent Munson yesterday in reference to the matter. Doran had but little to say be- yond asking for balance of the money due him to date. Lally said that the fning was severe upon him and he could i'll af- ford to lose the amount, while Cahill en- phatically stated that he would not con tinue to play with the team unless his fine was remitted. He was told by the man. agement that it was matter of perfect indifference to them whether he played or not. Cahill then asked for his release, but it was refused him.
 Manager Burnham when seen last even- ing said: "This action of the directors has not been nasty nor without due con- sideration. For long time the board of directors have felt that certain members ot the club have not been taking proper care of themselves, but have been doing about as they pleased. Many complaints have been made by citizens, patrons of the games and others, and the directors have come to the conclusion that some pretty bad behavior was going on. After very thorough investiga tion the board of directors concluded that the players deserved punishment and decided to adopt the course pursued The management are determined to fnisl the season, and in view of the lack of in | UOiOou HI OhoO OeSAA VIII A1AS1oO OAdo UuO p1dy

Burnhau further stated that the directors of thu club are of the opinion that it is prett, . cold comfort for them to go down int their pockets for the players salaries ant ; at the same time feel that the player themselves have no interest in the gam , except for the money they receive and in tend to conduct themselves as they choose i; without regard to the effect their action { have upon the game and the public.
