Games Yesterday.

Ted Sullivan never earned his title Of "hust-
LEI" more justly than he is earning it now, in
bis herculean efforts to blow the breath Of life
INTO the defunct senatorial aggregation. He
has one man around whom to build up q club,
Gleason being his name, and although all the
local capitalists have one by one intmated
that they thous hit it too late to enter base ball
this year, he is going ahead TO pick up players
and endeavor to finish his sohed-
ule. He went over TO baltimore last
night to see Barnie, who is really hir main
stay in this fight against fate, but the outcome
of the conference is not known. Joe O'Rourke,
the sawed-of shortstop, who once umpired Q
game here between Washington and Baltimore,
TO the great disgust OF the former, has con-
sented to look after balls between second and
third in case a team is formed Gleason is to
guard FIRST base. Ted has his eyes on Say late
third bsseman of the Hartford team; Lew
Dlckerson, the famous second baseman
OF old times; Pitcher Jack Lyston,
who, who has las. pitched almost everywhere
Tyson. of up around Hartford way. He may
induce Pitcher Phillips and possibly Jordan,
Underwood and Daniels to remain here. al
though he is not urging the old men to stay.
The two days of grace which the association
allowed him in which to reorganize expired
yesterday and he is scheduled for game today
with Lebanon in that city.
