The Derby Transcript says Such ac-
ton would be protection to Mr.. Greist.
1t would not permit of a second league
team playing in New Haven under ma
tional protection, and would give
Greists nine a much better show than
1t had during the present season, when,
through the best part of the season,
the New Haven nine of the Atlantic
league was bucking against the Edge
woods New Haven is a poor baseball
town at It's best and will not give re-
spectacle support to a single team, let
alone two of them. Tied" Sullivan had
TO get out of there with his Texas
steers" because of lack of patronage,
and Greist finished the season under
dlfhculties. Derby and Torrington have
been the banner towns of the league
this season.
