ton correspondent Of one of the sporting papers
He has a good drop ball, which he worked with
effect against the Bostonians, The young col

Carter the Yale catcher, arrived at New Ha.

condition vastly improved His mother has re

| he regains strength. This means, of course,
! that Carter will not be one OF the Brattleboro
| catchers.
From the Sporting Life: The u V. MS of
Burlington are playing as strong ball "a any col
! lege team in the country, and their recent work
shows that they are in the same class with Har
| ward and Yale If the Green mountain boys had
| their former battery, O'Connor and Ranney, with
| Pond as second pitcher, they would beat any col
! lege team easily
Cronin, the PawtuCket home run record break
! En- formerly of Bellows Falls and Keene. had not
made a home run and but one triple in the 81
| games before he accomplished that feat four
! times in one game. His batting average, June 3
| inclusive was 338. In eight games lac made IL
| hits. His fielding average on that date was 9'6.
! Although 5000 has already been guaranteed the
| players of the L. V. NJ. ball nine TO remain to-
| gether in Burlington the coming season it is not
probable that that city will keep them. The
| Springfield, Mass. Bicycle club has already guar
anteed the players SlGOO If they will adopt the
Springfield uniform ~ weeks, besides all the mon
| ey they can make in playing.
| In a recent interview with Phoenix represen
| O'('OpUOr stated that considered Pond
of the L. V. NJ s to be one of the bet If not the
| best college pitcher in the country. There never
note in the college ranks. Highlands, Bayne,
! Carmody, Bowers, Sexton, O'Connor, and Pond
are all phenomenal men.
The Boston journal of yesterday says: IF the
truth was known the services of Laurie Bliss as
captain of the Yale nine for next year means
something more than the voluntary retirement
Of Captain Murphy and the election of the next
available man. The coterie of graduates who
guide the destinies of things athletic at New Ha
ven decided some time ago that this change must
be made. When such men as Walter Camp, Wal
ter Badger and A. A. Stagg find their advice is
not appreciated but even discredited, the fui
naturally has to fly"
The Claremont sports are showering impreca
tons on the head of Capt Shine. In the Ramt

sent Burns into the outfeld, Barry behind the bat
and began to toss the sphere himself. The bal

When Burns and Shine again went between tn,
points to win the game they found that 1t was to-
late, and Dartmouth won, 10 to 2.
The two great universities, Yale and Harvard, di

won one of the two games played. Iales victor
