I, Clipped Diamonds.

on both sides yesterday.
"Hobe" Whiting takes naturally to
shortsSopping.-[Boston Herald.
1t was an unfortunate circumstance that
the bag on first base became displaced.

Connolly cost him % yesterday afternoon.

pronou uaceables- Gochnaur and Schrecon-
gost.
Jack Leighton OF last years Lewistons is
playing with Reading In the Atlantic
League.
Says the New Bedford Standard: "It's
no use, Todd has got the New Bedfords on
the hip"
George Moore, former Pawtucket
player and with Bangor last season, has
signed with Taunton.
Crisham OF the Newports is batting like
a fiend.-[Boston Herald. Yes; we discov-
cred the fact yesterday.
The Newports are a clean, gentlcmanly
lot OF ball players, and both on and OF the
field created very favorable impression
here yesterday. Come again.
Catcher Crish1m of the Newports is put
ting up a great game behind tho bat and
is slugging the ball In way that starts a
smile OF big proportions on Manager Flnn's
countenance.
| The new grandstand at Brockton will
! probably be ready for use for the Brockton-
Fall River game OF the 18th. 1t will be
much larger and more convenient than tho
old structure.
The factory which turns out the balls
for the New England League clubs has RI
out OF a supply, hence the trouble yester-
day. The new supply for Pawtucket has
been ordered for nearly week.
Remarks the Taunton Herald: "What-
ever may be said of the Tauntons, II must
be admitted that they have made record
equalled by no other team In the League.
No other club has maintained the same
average from the first day Of the season to
the present that Taunton has. Last Satnr-
day the average of the club was 900 and
1t is the Same today. This shows remark
ably steady, even play"

II. Bradley's experience at Washington
4, in regard 90 his 2-year-olds will help ma
! terially to bring tho question of registra-
, tion, the rights Of the present proprietor
4 of the studbock and the position of the
| Jockey club TO an Issue. Mr.. Bradley,
| who is breeder as we'll as an owner, reg
! istered his foals with Colonel s. ID. Bruce,
! and not with the registrar of the Jockey
! club. The Jockey club insists that foal
must be registered ut its offico before it
can be run, but any neglect may be rem
} edied st the last moment on payment Of a
i fine Of $50. Now, Mr.. Bradley will have
| to pay "A fine of $3.50 for his 3-year -olds be-
| fore they can race His position ia an OK
| tremely awkward one, and on paper he is
] placed In n very false position, because
| Colonel Bruce's records prove that he can
not be held guilty CT the sin of neglect.

], ond something like 5000 invitations

letes Of all countries. The Greeks them
selves do not seem to be taking u strong
interest in these games at present, as they
have other and more serious games In
their mind'S eye
| The talent have often expressed the
opinion that K. Hollister Of Harvard il .
better runner than Charles Fitzpatrick.
That opinion hns been confirmed by the
recent performance Of HollisteT, who ran
the half mile at the Harvard spring games
In minute "a 90 seconds. Fitzpatrick
holds the worlds record of minute 90 2-s
