| Pitcher wilder Released.
| Pitcher Wilder received notice of his
release from the management last night.
During the latter part of last season Will
der gave promise of becoming one of the
stars, but overwork during the early
spring put him in rather poor condition,
and he was hept on half pay.
Clipped Diamonds.
Drauby and Knight are the only Provi-
dence players who are batting above the
800 mark. Drauby leads in fielding with
an average Of 1882. M &
Capt. Duffy of the Bostons has batting
averager of 1872.
Manager Smith has released Catcher
Kelley, who has been helping Beulow out
the past week.
Mike Kelley, the gentlemanly first base
man of the Newports, Is putting up great
game and hitting the ball with ven-
geance. With another years work in q
minor league Mike will be fast enough for
the National League. He is young yet,
being barely out of his teens.
Cronin, Fall Rivers new pitcher, struck
out Catcher Crisham OF the Newports three
times in succession In Saturdays game.
.
Stephenson of the Newports will prob
ably be given his release. While his stick
work is all that could be desired, his field
ing has been yellow, with the initial of
the opposing club worked in the corner.

in Taunton because the Irwinites lost six

M -.
Sheckard of the Brocktons has batting
average of .407. He is o finished player
and seems to be q natural hitter. It 10
said that Brooklyn will take him at the
end of this month, the deal having been
about completed.
As at present constituted, Manager
Bnrnham has the heaviest hitting team in
the league. The aggregation ought to be
able to bat out many victory.
Syracuse plays at Providence the first
three days Of this week. Thursday, Friday
and Saturday the Grays will entertain the
Buffalos.
Next Sunday the Pawtuckets will play
the Hartfords of the Atlantic League at
Crescent Park. It will be the first time
since the championship season opened that
representative teams of the New England
and Atlantic Leagues met each other.
Manager John Smith intends to have all
that Is due him on that occasion, and has
secured "Jim" Corbett to play first base.
Jimmy Hannivan Is playing third base
for the Lancaster team of the Atlantic
League. While his hitting has been
strictly up-to-date, his fielding Of that
position has been very poor.
Manager Burnham was making in
quiries about Jack Horner and It is likely
that the old Pawtucket twirler will become
ashoemaker. He would add great strength
to Brockton.
Pitcher Moynahan who was driven to
/ the bench In two innings Saturday, will
probably be released by Brockton. He
seems to have lost his cunning.
Second baseman Hickey, late of the
Brocktons, will be signed by Taunton.
Delaney having been released. Fitz,
maurice also walked the plank Saturday
evening. A new outfelder has been Sc
cured and left handed twirler is en- route
from Toronto to Taunton.
George Yeager Is at his home In Gin
cinnati and hopes his hand will be right
by the time the Bostons reach that city.
| New England League players are doing
great work In the Eastern League this
season. Braun Is with Providence:
Mains, Duncan, Woods and Moore with
Springfield and Walters with Scranton.
It's too bad that Willie Mains has not
more sand. He is twirling I'm brilliant
form for Springfield and is fast enough
Tor the big league with more thinking
capacity In his "noodle."
BY failing to hold It's players, New Bed
let team go last season that would have
