Clipped Diamonds.
Norcom, the Fall River pitcher, is con-
fined to his bed.
We don't want any better umpiring than
Breck has been giving US. IL
Saturdays defeat for Boston was the
first after IL consecutive victories.
New Bedford is to be strengthened by
the addition Of heavy hitting outfielder.
.Connor of the Fall Rivers Is getting his
aye on the ball. He laced out four homo
runs last week. 81, fr ot
Sheckard Of the Brocktons has tho wonn
derful batting average of A78 and leads the
New England League.
Moss Is the Hughey jennings Of the New
England League. Even the Brockton En-
terprise admits this fact.
Mr.. Flanagan of the Fall Rivers says
that Connie Murphy does not know good
pitcher when he sees one.
The work OF Umpire Breckenridge Is
highly satisfactory. He is not 80 conse-
quential as Connolly and suits the crowd
better.
The Grays return in a better position by
80 points In per centage than when they
started away from home on their long trip
In May.
The Grays have long string of 22 home
games before they go away again. They
play Scranton the first three days of the
week and Wilkesbarre the last three.
Mr.. Hawley's crown has been sent to the
jeweler and 1t is being filed down to fit the
less massive brow Of Mr.. Gallagher, who
is just now the ideal of the seaside me-
| tropolis.
Harry Davis has proved a most useful
man for the Pittsburgs, and any club
might consider itself lucky to have such an
excellent player. Harry is now meeting
the ball In old time form.
A royal battle has been going on In the
Eastern league. Providence is not cutting
such wide swath as has been It's custom
Of Late years, but is playing well. SPRING
neld has made good showing.
The Pawtuckets have been making q
speciality Of playing errorless games of late.
II 10 decidedly refreshing to see Capt.
Moss and his colleagues whisk the ball to
the different angles OF the diamond.
Nearly 1000 spectators witnessed the
Brooklyns defeat the Grays at Rocky
Point yesterday afternoon. The score was
to z. The presentation Of the Elk's
charm to Jimmy Canavan from the players
and stockholders of the Providence club
was pleasant feature Of the day.
Manager Hanlon of the Baltimores was
making some inquiries about Todd, the
great south paw twirler of the Pawtuckets,
during his stay In Boston the past week. /.
He has lines out for good left handler
and Frank may be a member of the cham
pions before the end of the season.
Attempts to bunt that fail never fail Ia
call forth derisive cries from the cranks,
but when fast runner dumps the ball in
front Of the plate and registers at first In
safety there is always burst OF applause
The old adage, ,"Nothing succeeds like sue
cess" is well illustrated In this play.
