BASE BALL.

Mr.. Kinney of the Transcript is the man
ager at IIolyoke.
1t will be interesting to see what kind
of a showing the IIolyokes make against
the strong WOonsockets of the New Eng
land league.
The Fitchburgs have di,banded. Mana
ger Whitney was the son of Col. Whitney,
whose mill worth $40, 600 was burned at
South Royalston.
If the Northamptons fill their ranks with
all former BrattleboTo players they will
have a winning team. Hickey is the latest
addition. He is to take the place of Doyle.
The painters defeated a team from Smith
IL Co.'s factory Saturday by score of u
to ID. Ellis and Dunlevy were the pitchers
1t is probable that another game between
the same mines will be played tomorrow.
Sporting Life: "The left-handed pitcher
Doran, whose fondness for red-eye destroy
ed promising career, is now pitching for
a semi-professional club in Northampton,
Mass. The way of the drinking ball player
is hard and the end sure"
The b. A. AS have disbanded for two
weeks. After the team is reunited games
will be played in the vicinity of Boston.
Manager Irwin of the Washingtons has
asked Stearns to name his terms, but the
Amherst captain replies that he does not
wish to play professionally.
Tuesday the Holyokes bowed down be-
fore the NorthamptOns, s to 6, at North
amptOn Ellsworth and Powers were the
battery for the Holyokes and WoodcOck
and Leahy for the Northamptons. Murphy
accepted everything that came into his ter
ritory and lined out four hits. Collopy,
O'Neill and Coughlin and Mahoney also
batted hard. Wednesday the Holyokes had
their revenge and with Sedgwick and Con-
ME Murphy of Hinsdale as a battery,
against Doran and Leahy, won IL to 4.
Sedgwick was hit for only three singles and
the Northamptons failed to score after the
second inning. The HOlyokes hit for Is
bases, Fitzmaurice getting three singles
and a two Dagger and CollOpy, Keay and
O'Neill two hits each.
1t was sure to come. There never was
an umpire who was satisfactory at North
ampton, and strange as it may seem they
all give Northampton "the worst of il" il
! the Meadow City papers are to be relied up
on. This was the case with FTeligh, o. Don
nell, Phersic. Brady, Burns and severa
others. At the beginning of this season
Davis was regarded as a model, but this is
the Heralds latest comment: "The b. A
AS are a gentlemanly set of fellows, anC
do not weary the crowd by incessant kick
ing, although they would have been justi
fed in finding more fault than they die
with Davis's umpiring, which was about a
bad as has been seen on the grounds thi
year, the home team, however, suffering
rather the worse. The Herald is incline,
to the belief that umpires are born, no
made"
All of the BrattlebOro players took par
in games at different places on Saturday
Collopy and Keay assisted the Fitchburg
in defeating the Cambridge Reds, 7 to 4
in a u inning contest. The former mad
two and the latter one of the eight hits. A
North Adams Fitzmaurice and Murph
were with the Renfrews, who won fror
North Adams by score of to 3. Fit
maurice made two twO-baggers and Murph
one off Shearon, formerly of the Cleyeand'
Murphy's hit would have been home run
but for a ground rule which gave only tw
bases on a drive into the crowd. Murphy
work at second was phenomenal, min
chances being accepted without an errO
p The Brocktons hit Garry freely at Wal
and won 10 to ?. Stuart and O'Nei
fielded finely for the Wares and the fOT1AC
hit for two-bagger and home run. Morton
Hickey and Ranney were with the Clar
J monts in the game in which the Newpor
, were shut out, TO 0. During the gan
Ranney broke a finger. Hickey and Norto
, each secured one of the five hits OFF Burn
and each scored.
