 New Haven to Have a Shortstop.
 Within twenty-four hours New Haven will probably have regular shortstop signed President White has written to Manager Shannon that he can have his choice of three good men. This, of course, will considerably strengthen New Haven's already strong nine.
 Although Blansfeld has done ire proachable work in that position and de- serves great credit for the plucky way in to him, "Jake" Wells can't do all the work this summer behind the bat. "Jake" would be willing to "all right, all right" but there is limit to Jakes stay
 Blansfeld caught in the game at Bridge port, and did it fine shape.
 Stolen Bases.
 Fournier has a tremendous in-curve. He has made monkeys of good many strong batters with this curve.
 The batting order was changed yester- day. Donnelly leads off and Murphy bats in his place. This change was made be- cause "Jimmy'' Donnelly can run bases so speedily. ''Murph" had yesterday what the Holy Cross boys call ''an elegant eye" /" and lead in the number of hits. Three hits were scored to his credit.
 Henry Lynch, who played on the New Haven team two years ago, made a costly huff yesterday of a fly in center field in the seventh inning, letting in two runs. Fricken has considerable speed and throws great out curve. He shuts him. self up like closed knife and then un- winds again. In the ninth he weakened and Wy Haven earned three runs by ter whole nine batted A-.. -- will meet Elmira again to. day.
 The COURIER team is playing in splen- did form. They have broken two windows already. They are literally batting the ball out of sight. The following are the names of the base. ball team of Station Mo- and the position 1 of each: McGann, D.; Hayes. c.; Lawlor, 1b.; Sheehan, 2b.; Coffee, ss. Sessler, 3b. B. Reilly, lf.; Farrell, c. f.; Lonnergan, If. It is to be hoped that Umpire Betts will be particular to watch the plays as they are made in to-day's game. His decisions yesterday in three cases were way off and l in every instance against the home team. Manager Burnham has arranged with Jim Hanivan of last years Providence ! Grays to cover third base if he can secure his assignment to Providence. Hanivan is a decidedly promising colt.
 Stafford would be signed for Providence l at once if he was free to accept chance, but he is under contract with Holy Cross l college until June.
 1 Chick Hofford, the doughty little catch. CT, who did splendid work for New Haven last year, may join the Providence team
 before long. He and Manager Maloney oi Troy did not agree and he is now with the Plainfeld, N. J., club, which only plays 6 couple of games 8 week.
 l Other Eastern association games resulted ss follows: Albany 3, Providence o; Buff falo 5, Troy 4; Syracuse g, Binghamton
 Rochester 5, Athletics 8.
 The Rochester team has released Pitcher
 Blauvelt.
 Judging by the work the big fellow ha,
 been doing, Syracuse has not secured { priceless jewel in the person of Bobby
 Barr. Robert could command about eigh
 cents day in New Haven.
