We are in Bristol tomorrow.


 We are in Bristol tomorrow.
 Wouldn't 1t be a good joke if we should win both those games from Bristol?
 New London comes here on Wednes- day, and while we dislike very much to do it, we will have to send her down peg lower in the race.
 President Young, in speaking of the status of Murphy, who is now playing with the Bostons said that the Bos- tons have no legal right to his ser vices. as he was awarded to the Gin cinnatis last fall, and the claim still stands good
 Joe Connor has been catching good ball for Cleveland, and Manager Me Aleer- thinks a great deal of him. The real reason for the dropping by Mill waukee of Connor and Leahy is that young Maloney, who used to catch for Attleboro, is doing great backstopping for that team.-Brockton Times. And his price was low.
 Hats off to Manager George E. Har- rington, for he has brought out the working qualities of the Waterbury team better than they have ever been seen on the local diamond in the past two seasons. Evidently there was something in the articles of the Demo- crat which claimed right along that the men were not trying to play ball under Manager Connor.
 The bleaehers at Milwaukee closely resemble the sides of a house for steepness. There are eighteen rows on the left and right hand sides of the grounds, and if a bleacherite on the top row should lose his balance he would shoot over the heads of those below him like a small boy on to- began. The total seating capacity is about 5000.
 In the first inning of the ball game Saturday afternoon between Windsor Locks and Somersville. Sheehan, who was covering third base for the Wind sor Locks team, broke his left leg be- low the knee while attempting to put out one of the runners on the other side. The bone snapped off short and the noise could be heard all over the field. In the splay the ball was fielded high to Sheehan, which made it neces- sary for him to jump in the air, and in coming down he landed sideways, turning the leg under him.
 There are many rumors afoat in the baseball world concerning the shakeup that will occur at the end of the sea- son when the ten years agreement that binds the National league clubs together will be dissolved. During the past week there have been a number of secret confabs among the magnates, but all of them have remained close r. hoc ,;.4o flxy @o+ ed, however, that when the boss schem- CTS get. through John I. Rogers, the owner of the Philadelphia club. will find himself out of the league circuit and that the Brooklyn club will be frozen out, too, for either Baltimore or Washington.
 We have but two home games this week, according to the schedule, but it would pay Manager Harrington to offer inducements to the New Lon don team to play the game scheduled for New London on Friday in this city. 1t would be saving money for New London and Waterbury. New London plays home on Saturday with New Haven and would draw big crowd on that day, for the club would not be at home for three days before that if the change were made, and would have three home games after making the change. She plays here on We'd nesday and in Bristol on Thursday, and could come back here on Fri day, saving of railroad fares and probably hotel expenses.
 The schedule for this week is as fol lows:
 Monday. Aug 12.--Derby at New London, Bridgeport at Norwich. New Haven at Meriden, Bristol at Water bury.
 Tuesday, Aug 13.-Derby at Norwich Bridgeport at New London, Waterbury at Bristol, Meriden at New Haven.
