new ENGLAND BASEBALL.
LOWELL WILL PROBABLY NOT
HAVE A TEAM IN LEAGUE.
Interesting News Notes and Gossip About
WeIl.Knswn Ball Tossers.

1t Is not improbable, so the knowing
ones say, that the New England league
will be made up of six-club circuit. III
this is done the teams will be Fall River,
Pswtucket, New Bedford, Brockton, Taun-
ton and Newport. Such circuit would
be constantly heated to the limit with
inter city rivalry and would give Just
about the right number of games at home
and away. The Lowell papers do not ap-
pear to be interested In franchise for that
city, as they are throwing cold water on
the idea with startling generosity.
M. j. Kelley, who played first base for
the Augustus last season, has signed with
the Newports. He Is not only gentleman
but an excellent and most promising
young player.
Pettee, who applied for a franchise in the
New England League for the city OF Taun-
ton, is now and has been since the league
meeting In Boston confined to his home
by illness. 1t Is Doubtful whether he can
go on with the work Of organizing.
"Tommy" Connolly, the umpire who
made such favorable impression here last
season, will probably be seen with the
Eastern League this season. He will be
missed In all the New England League
cities where he was prime favorite.
George Moore, who was with the Paw
tuckets in 1894 and who played third base
for Bangor last season has signed with
Springfield.
