LEAGUE DIRECTORS MEET
AWARDED EIGHTH CLUB FRAN
CHISE TO BRISTOL.
Hartford's Attitude In the Matter Causes
Unanimous Action-A Circuit Conn
mittee AppOinted-The Meeting Adj
journed to Tuesday Next.

AS was prophesied by those who have
followed the workings of the matter at
all closely, the adjourned meeting of
the State Baseball league directors held
in the Hotel Garde yesterday resulted
in the completion of the league without
Hartford The franchise for the eighth
club was awarded to Bristol and de-
spite the enthusiastic boasts which were
heard on all sides at the brilliant close
of last season, New Haven again be-
gins the season as part of the same cir
cult as last year.
The reason for the directors action
was the attitude assumed by the
"cranks' of the Capitol City, who did
not relish the prospect of having to put
up with State league baseball. These
have been making heroic efforts to
again gain admittance to the Eastern
league, and in so doing evidently antag-
oniZed the State league directors There
fore when the matter came up at the
meeting yesterday but little time was
wasted in. considering it, and the action
was unanimous.
Hartford is not to be condemned Or
wishing to stay in the Eastern league,
although it does seem amusing that it
should scorn to be in the same league
with New Haven, which is capable of
and, as was shown last season, will
thoroughly support fast team, no
matter what league it may be in. The
part that is distasteful to New Haven
lovers of the game is that, after having
we'll supported a team which won the
championship in the hopes that base
ball might again attain a little of it's
pristine glory in this city, they are thus
disappointed in their expectations; and
this with but little prospect that the
contest for the pennant the coming sea-
son will be as fast or as exciting as last
year. Certain it is that another Gun
shannon will not be found who will
stake everything to bring Bristol to the
front; and in regard to Norwich it is
not at all improbable that the same
annoying state of affairs may exist
again.
Those present at yesterdays meeting
were Managers Reilly and Miller for
New Haven, Penny for Meriden Denny
for Derby, O'Rourke for Bridgeport and
as representative for Norwich, Conner
for waterbury and Bindloss for New
London.
A circuit committee was appointed,
consisting of George Bindloss and

IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE PECK

The C. II. Northam Will Take Her
Place While Repairs Are Being
Made.
The steamer c. Fl. Northam VIII run
on the route between New York and
Providence while the Richard Peck is
undergoing repairs at Sparrow's Point,
near Baltimore. Extensive improve
ments are contemplated for the latter
craft, which will be off the run for
about two months. when the Chaplin
will be dry locked for repairs and
cleaning.
The Peck is to have an additional
gallery, thus making possible con-
siderable increase in the number OF
staterooms This alteration in the
contour of the upper deck will give the
Peck an appearance similar to that pre-
sented by the Chaplin The hull is to
be equipped with bilge keels, which
will reduce to a minimum the rolling
motion of the boat, and make her more
comfortable for passengers. 1t is ex-
pected that the trip around Point Judith
will be negotiated with less trouble as
result Of this improvement.
The Northam, thoroughly reprinted
and renovated, reported for duty at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon for her first
trip on the Peck's schedule.

professor and Richard into the house.
He is a travelling salesman who handles
hymnals, and for a side line sells play

and to avoid exposure to himself, the
professor palms off Jones" as the bish-

when everything is adjusted to the

real bishop on the scene opens up COM

more complex in the attempts of each

frolicsome Jones' to force the learned
man to retire in order that he may

adjust themselves satisfactorily, and

Chauncey Olcott will present his new
play "A Romance of Athlone" at the
Hyperion on Friday night, April 6.
| During the course of the play Olcott
will introduce a number of new songs
| which he has written for the occasion.
Olcot has been providing his owtn
| songs ever since he has been a star,
which accounts for their suitability to
his voice and method. They are gener-

that have the true celtic ring to them.

The comic opera event of the season
| is going to be the appearance of the
Jefferson de Angels Opera company in
1.-THE Jolly Musketeer," at the Hyper
ion Saturday night. The piece serves
to introduce the famous comic opera
comedian, Jefferson de Angels, and
was tested favorably last season in
New York, Philadelphia, and Boston,
where it remained most of the time
In the company, which numbers sixty,
and is said to include some very pretty
women and expert singers, are Maud
Williams, Maud Hollins, Hubert Wilke,
Harry Macdonough, Lenore Soulier and
Hida Hollins, and other lyric favorites,
The production will prositively be Civ
en- in it's original entirety, it is assured,
and the visual outfit has been de-
scribed as very handsome. These
facts point to a good entertainment,
mixing fun, melody and sightliness.
The scheme of the piece is the turning
of romance into merriment. The place
and time are France in the days of
Richelieu, when the soldiers wore pic
turesque clothes and performed deeds
of valor. But the hero enacted by
Merry Jeff de Angels, is comic type
of the swashbuckler, and his exploits
are meant to be ludicrous. This actor
is confessedly and Intentionally a clown
and by many is regarded as the fun
NEST of our comic opera comedians.
Sale of seats now open. Prices $1.50,
81 and 75c.
