 How it must make stJim, the orator. 7 down in Bridgeport smile to see. the record "Jim, the student" is making on the diamond with the Yale team. Orator James ought to have told him before going to New York, however, that he should not have tried to beat the New Yorks, because Orator James is one of the stockholders in that eFreemanized' team. That was kind of rubbing it in on the s.ofd man. ' wasn't it? Still the "dad'' should feel proud of his boy; he is certainly a chip of the old block when it comes to play ing the National game.
 Daniel Layton, the star pitcher of the University of Pennsylvania base ball team, last night announced his per manent retirement from the game. The announcement was not a surprise, for Layton has done very little work with the team this year, and his parents were bitterly opposed to his playing. This was Layton's fourth year as a varsity pitcher. He graduated from the college last June and is now in the law school. He was one of the most effective pitchers who ever played on a Pennsylvania team, and his retirement leaves the Red and Blue with only two pitchers, Leary and Groves.
 It will be of interest to the patrons of the games in this city this. season to know that score cards will be fur nished at each game and they will be given free of charge. The card will be a neat affair, too, and will be in. the hands of a Waterbury man who has had experience in such matters be- fore. The correct batting order will be on the card each day and every thing about it will be up to date. In order to make the card correct one the official scorer will have charge of the batting orders each day and will also attend to any businpess in con nection with the card. Any commu- nications.a as to printing or advertising can be addressed to the sporting editor of the Democrat. and all such commu- nications will be promptly attended ito.
 Julian W. Curtiss said yesterday that the, action of the Boston National league club in refusing to play Yale last week because the college team had previously played game with the Baltimore American league team had greatly incensed college men. Yale. an independent university" said Mir Curtiss, does not recognize the so- called national agreement and does E ont care a fig about the war between the National and American leagues. Yale reserves the right to play any ball teams that may be selected by the management Just why the National league should attempt to force Yale or any college team to boycott the Amer .ican league isg beyond comprehension. 1t looks as if the Boston club should apologize to Yale for it's absurd .ac- ton" Incidentally, the fact that the New York club did not refuse to play Yale makes the attitude of the Boston club all.t the more embarrassing.
 The Princeton university base ball team arrived home yesterday afternoon from it's successful trip in the south. This is the first time Princeton lever won every game in the series played on a southern trip. At the station a great crowd of enthusiastic under graduates gave big demonstration in honor of the players. Manager Hall announced last night that the game with Columbia, scheduled to come off in Princeton on Saturday. has been cancelled on account of the funeral of Tahv n,,A Ea1l held in Marquand chapel Saturday af- ternoon. Captain Coleman yesterday called out all candidates for the track team. About fifty men responded and were given an hours practice on the field. The training table was started with the following men. Coleman. Curtis Perry.s Horton, Adsit and Deuritt. ". B. Rogers, '9S, has been engaged to coach the broad jumpers and murders of the track team.
 q The American league has secured some of the stars of the National league" said President Brush of the Cincinnati club, during a talk on the war that is being waged between the two organizations, and those same stars will be the undoing of the Amer1 ican league, if anything beats them. It simply will be another case of the St Louis team last season, except where the National sleague had only one St Louis team the American league will have eight. It is generally con ceded that all the dissatisfaction on the St Louis team was occasioned by the presence of AfcGraw and Robin son.. who were drawing exorbitailt salaries, while other men on the team. who were giving the club just as good, if not better, service, were not receiy. ing one-half as much as AIcGraw and a great deal less than Robinson. This discontent naturally affected the play ing of the men, and the team, despite the fact that it was a strong one on paper. came near finishing at the tail end. The American league this year will have this same state of affairs in every team. The result is ineyitable." REFEREE MOBBED AFTER CAME
