of arbitration in the Petit case. The
board decides that New Haven is not en-
titled to Pettit's services, and remands
him to reservation to the Toronto club.
Jack Burke of the old Waterbury team
would be good man for some of the
minor leagues to pick up. He is good all
around ball player and a heavy hitter
BY the way. Waterbury has not few

fight Patsy Kerrigan of Boston for So,
900 and calls upon John l.. Sullivan to

ball player he would never slide to a

attributable to that.
Cooney is the clown of Ansons team,
and makes more fun for the boys than

suit.
Joe Gerhardt says that the players of
the new league in New York will never
get such treatment as the old leaguers
received at the hands of John B. Day.
Il Think said he, that they treated
Mr. Day with ingratitude not so much
in leaving him as in permitting him to
expend thousands of dollars on new
grounds and buying players release
when they knew that the new movement
had been definitely decided upon"
Just what will be the result of the
Petit case is question. The verdict
was a big surprise, as Zach Phelps,
secretary of the board of arbitration,
announced some time ago that New
Haven would secure Petit. Petit de-
clares that he will not play in Mil

crowd backed them up in their protest
but the judges would not change the Or

excited and Missed and hooted the
judges. The managers and judges of
the affair were accused of being in
ring with Budd and also of having
staked money on the Meriden man.
Some of the spectators lost their heads
and Selling clubs and stones made the
matter decidedly interesting for all
parties concerned. Several of Budd's
friends finally succeeded in restoring
quiet and the race was run, Corbett be
