WORLD OF SPORTS.

Roger Common made two home runs
and a single yesterday.
The veteran Joe Battin is umpiring in
the Eastern league. Meantime a Younger
BattIn is playing third base for Reading.
There is disposition on the part of
some persons TO attack Roger Conner
at every stage of the game. This Is a
rank injustice to the veteran, who is
playing good ball ana is keeping up his
end with the best first baseman in the
league. If these same persons will re-
collect the howl for Common that went
up last fall when he was a member of
the Philadelphia team, and will also ask
themselves where better first baseman
can be secured, they may reflect. This
continued roasting of a player who
dosen't make a home run every time he
comes to the bat is sickening. 1t doesn't
do the team any good and simply I'M
nerves the players. Roger Common is
such valuable player that it is safe to
say that his service would he gladly &C
cepted by nearly every club in the
league. One critic says Conner is play
ing the worst first base in the league, 8
statement that is not only maliCIously
false. but also ridiculous in the extreme.
Messrs Ward and Talcott have told
Roger to ignore such silly vaporings.-
Sporting Life.
Says the Sporting Life: The Brook
lynS are anxious to secure the service OF
LaChance, the center fielder of the
Wilkesbarre club. Lachance is one OF
the hardest hitters in the Eastern league
and is said to be an excellent fielder.
He is a French Canadian, and resembles
Sam Thompson. of the Philadelphias.
Joe Hornung, who played against La
chance this season, says he is first
class man. Hornung thinks Lachance
as long distance thrower, excels any
man in the league.
"Breitenstein, of st Louis, at present
leads the league pitchers in point OF
effectiveness, closely followed by
Mcmahon, Ehret, Meekin and Rusie.
In individual fielding Mack leads al
catchers with .961: Foutz leads the first
oasemen with 800. Mailman the second
basemen with 1854; Cross the third
basemen with go; Dahlen the short
stops with .921; Tim O'Rourke the left
tielders with 1874, and Donovan the
right fielders with .959. Up to date
Merritt leads the league and Boston is
1 batting with III, Robinson leads Balti-
more with .402 Hamilton leads Phila
delphia with $40, Stencil leads Pitts

with 1898. Brouthers leads Brooklyn
with 81, Davis leads New York with
.366, Bannon leads st Louis with 1874
Tim O'Rourke leads Louisville with
364, Holiday leads Cincinnati with
343. and Larkin leads Washington will

TROUBLED CONSCIENCE.


4 Waterbury Man Attempts to Conceal
His Identity.
State Treasurer Marvin H. Sanger
recently received letter without sigma
ture. the writer of which he would like
to become acquainted with. 1t was
from Waterbury and contained a postal
note for S. 40, which under the circum-
stances the treasurer will be compelled
to credit to the conscience fund.
The writer said that he owned 100
in bonds upon which he desired to pay
the two mill tax. He gave no descrip-
ton of the bonds nor any clew to his
identity. Something was said about
delay in remitting the tax in sort of
apologize way, but this was entirely
unnecessary as the tax was not due
until August /, and can be paid at any
time before October l, upon presenting
the securities or list thereof for regis
tration. The intention of the remitteI
was evidently to conceal the ownership
of the securities and it is probable thai
after contest with his conscience he
straddled the matter by sending in the
amount of the tax.
If the Waterbury man will apply Il
the state treasurer he will receive 6
blank upon which he can make a list Of
the securities he does not desire any one
to know he possesses. Upon its receip
| the treasurer will credit the tax to the
payee and send him a receipt for tbs
| amount. II he doesn't comply with the

he will have to pay local taxes on the
securities if the assessors of this cit,
