 Wonder if the New Haven team Is weak in the pitching talenta
 The Msrcantiles have secured good man in Third Baseman Flynn.
 Jersey City has released Catcher Rsidy. He played good game at second while Bur dock was hurt.
 Baltimore has released Pitcher Sam Shaw, and Mike O'Rourke will be taken out of right field and be placed in the box.
 "Chic" Hofford is troubled with quite @ severe attack of "eharley-horse" in both legs which causes him to be careful when he moves.
 Jones, the Worcester third basemao, Is hitting the ball out of sight. something un- usual for him. His average will drop as the season advances.
 The Mercantiles and the Yale Consolida- ted nine were to have played on the Orange street grounds yesterday afternoon, but rain caused a postponement. Rain caused postpousment of the Wash. ipgton game yesterday. The 'Senators" will try again to. day, however, and see what they can do with our clever ''south-paw." Petit fined Doyle $5 Monday for not sac. riicing when he was told to. Lang was on second with none out and Doyle flew out to center instead of sacrificing. ''Connie" has bscn fined more this year than any other man on the team. There will be very interesting amateur game at the Orange street grounds between the Sagwas and the West Ravens this after noon. The Sagwas will have a strong team in, but they will have to keep their eye on the ball in order to hit young Condoff, the West Haven pitcher.
 Soma neople have found oonsiderable fault with "Snap5 Lang's work of late, but when l 1t is taken into consideration the amount of ground that he covers, his errors, though at times costly, should be over looked. He does not play for a single average, but is a hard and conscientious worker.

 The Hartford management seem to be very sore over the poor work of their team, espe- cially over the four straight defeats by the Elm City boys. Both Henry and Long are hustling for new players and they propose to get pennant winning team together.
 Telegrams, letters and telephone messages are being cent and received in their efforts to sign good ball players. Already six men are on the string. Burns. an out-6elder, will probably be sigued, as he is in Hartford and is willing to play. He is good player and has record of 11S hits in 104 games. Bit man, second baseman of the Kansas Citys, is also wanted, with fair chance of his being signed. Cornell, third baseman recently with the Brooklyn Association team has been telegraphed for. Pitcher Daniels, late os the Pittsburg National team, Is another, and Stsub of the Baltimore team is also wanted.
 Yesterdays Hartford Times says that Manager Henry and Manager Burnham of this city are trying to arrange deal whereby Lynch will be exchanged for Terrier.
 The signing of O'Rourke, the catcher, is entirely out of tho question. He wants $500 a month, $500 advance money, a four and a half months' contract with . guarantee and no reserve. He didn't ask for the grounds and grand stand, but he would have had them had he come.
 The management is alive to the situation and will leave no stone unturned to make the Hartford team one of the strongest in the league.

Disappearance of "Blaok Hole. !,

There was on the farm of Alex. II. Sitlngton
near the Rig Spring in this county, a wen or
pool of water, the depth of which has never
been ascertained by the Oldest Inhabitants or
their ancestors, though many efforts were made
so to do. 1t is fifty feet in.orcumference and tho
water perfectly black in appearance though
quite clear when taken out. Hence twas called
the BLACK Hole" 1t was located on a flat piece
of ground at the foot of Middle mountain The
water stood about two feet from the surface a md
was never known to get higher or lower. A
round it was a favorite place for cattle to lay
down, and although water was scarce in that
immediate locality, and the hole naver fenced
or otherwise enclosed stock were never known
to approach 1t to drink, It is located but q
short distance from the road, and strangers
who had seen an account of it, in Holmes His
tory of Va, or heard of it from other sources
often stopped in the road, and visited this poo
of water.
few days ago, VIM. A Warner who lives on
the farm, was passing by to salt his CATTLE and
discovered that the earth had fallen in around
it, the water all gone, the hole filed up to within
about Is or 20 feet of the top and so dry tina,
the earth at the bottom was cracked Hunters
