NO CLUE TO THE BURGLARS. The Robbery at Howard Avenue Groupds still ShFOuded in mystefy -The Team to Play i'm Providence To-Day and To-Morrow - Notes from the Diamond.
 The Now Haven team did not go to Providence yesterday, the game having been postponed by the request of Manager Burnham of the Grays until Sunday, when ''Shannon's Sagwas" and Burn Pets" will contend at Rocky Point. The team will leave at 7:25 this morning for Providence, where they play to-day and tomorrow, and are due to win two games from the Providence aggregation and if the members of the team predict any where near correct there will be two vic tories recorded to the credit of the New Haven team between now and Sunday night and in consequence two defeats for the Providence "Clam Eaters" will have to be added to their string and possibly may be made to drop out of first place. In the game to-day Fournier and Wells will be the battery
 
 in the points for the local team.
