Al Warner of St Louis has been ap- pointed an umpire of the Eastern league.
 The Pine Hill Ruffians arranged a game with the Golden Eagles of Sco- vill street, but they failed to show up, and therefore the umpire decided the score 9 to 0. The line up is as follows: AL Pendy. c; NJ. Calvin, p; M. Brophy, 1b; R. Calvin, 2b; NJ. Butler, 3b; B. Quilter, cf; T. Buckley, If; J. Buckley, f. Any team desiring a game may call on Manager Dooling, 13 Fuller street.
 The score-card is meeting with sue cess and the merchants are about all accepting places in the advertising col umns All the score-cards this season will be given away. and everybody that enters the grounds will be handed one as he or she enters the gate. There will be no selling to-day and giving them away tomorrow, and it will be a neatly gotten up card and will pay ad- vertisers to take space.
 After abolishing ladies day" for a year, the Brooklyn club is about to re store that feature. Thursdays, as here tofore, to be the day on which women will be admitted free. The usual mu- sic and pennant raising program will be observed when the championship season opens at Washington park next Friday. On James E. Shevlin will de- yolve the honor of throwing the ball out.
 The management to-day added an other name to its trial list, that of pitcher from Carolina, R. l., named McInnis. a brother of the McInnis who pitched for a while on the New London team last year. Pitchers will be an important article and no man that has any claims to value will be let slip by. New London Globe. Probably the same man that Manager Connor has on his list.
 Some of the State league papers have been intimating during the past few weeks that Frank Fitzpatrick would be seen in q Waterbury uniform before the season was far advanced. He has made no oyertures to Manager Connor in that respect, and nothing is known as to his intentions, except that | it is reported that he willsplay with one of the shop league teams. In all prob ability Fitzpatrick will not be seen in a State league uniform this season.
 Roger Connor on first base-that is what is what-and there will be no change unless the big fellow changed his mind since yesterday. Every sea son there is the same old story that the big fellow is going to retire, and why should he? His record stands out in excellent comparison with all the other first basemen of this league True, he has not been doing the bat. 1 ting that he once did when a member of the New York team, but just glance over the records of the first basemen of this league and see where the man ager stands. It would be difficult to replace him on first base.

Murphy, shortstOp New London; George w. Henry, out field, Bridgeport, with Norwich last year; John Crawford, pitcher, Phila delphia; Thomas AcGuirk, first base Brooklyn;. F. D.
