The Merldens To.Nl9ht-Result Of Last
nights Cannes.
The Meridens play here tonight. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the home team
will win. They have been defeated by the
Meridens in the last six games. II would be
q FIRST -class idea for the home management
to play Cooke at center and Hill rush, pro-
vided Cooke is well enough to play. When
o combination has lost ~ much az the pres
emit one has II stands the management in
public, and play what the public thinks is
the best team.
At New Britain last night the home team
defeated the Meridsns 10 to 4.
The Bridgeports defeated the Hartfords at
Bridgeport, 3 to I.
THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Papers In the new RnglanA League
Cities Carrying On An Artificial
Boom-Ths new Yoak sum BadIy

! I'm the New England League.
The papers in the proposed New England
league cities are having good deal to say
about the new league. They are producing
lot of stuff which the gullible swallow
without digesting. To the one who will
stop and think, there is good deal of hum
bugging about this New England league. 1t
takes man like Bancroft to send broadcast
news that never existed but in his own
mind. AS for Lang of Hartford, why, the
dear old fellow says New Haven can come in
if she wants to. But oh, isn't he terribly
nervous, though, for fear the Atlantic Asso-
citation will keep on, and then, how will the
Hartford team get its salaries paida No $500
for one game then, nearly enough to pay the
entire expense of the Hartford team for one
month. New Haven can get along without
Hartford, but Hartford CAN NOT get along
without New Haven. The latter city wants
to be In q league where she can get some-
thing when she visits another city.
We hear great deal about Holyoke.
Salem, Springfield, and Providence. Why,
God bless you. Salem can't support 5000
team; let alone 81 500 one. Bancroft says
Holyoke IL raising money by the barrel full
yet dispatch from that place says the in
terest is dead: In Springfield nearly all the
capital stock is raised, but nothing is said
about an organization, nor have any players
been hired.
| Bancroft says he has received any number
of observation-disclosures ones, too, and
they will come cheap. What rot! Good
| players want their price, and does any sane
person believe that an experienced player
would want to play in Springfield rather
than in New Haven't The latter has been
tried and is one of the greatest ball towns in
| the country. Now, the fact of the matter
is. Mr.. Bancroft Is receiving applications
from youngsters who are willing to play q
couple of months for their board. People in
New Haven know the kind of base ball we
had here three years ago. The teams in the
Connecticut league that season were stronger
than the teams in the New England league
will be this year. 1t is impossible to get a
team for 81 500 that will play the kind of
ball New Haveners like.
| Manager Powers got in one of his slurs on
Barnie yesterday in the New York Sun. Did
he deny that the Baltimores had not applied
for admissions Of course not. He couldn't
do 1t truthfully, But he did get Maudigo to
say that Barnie was pulling two strings.
Powers had an object in this. The American
association wants Baltimore back again.
They can't do it unless they succeed in CON-
| vincing New Haven and Newark that he IL
guilty of double dealing. This Powers nor
the Sun cannot do. Barnie has been true to
| the Atlantic association, and he will stick.
Never fear.
| The statement that an Association team
will probably be placed in Baltimore is only
another bluff. President Byrne holds the
sole right to say who shall play there, and he
certainly will never consent to allow an
Association team to play there as long as
Won der Abe runs 1t.
