New Haven here tomorrow.

New Haven here tomorrow. Friday, May 17-Waterbury at New l Haven, Meriden at New London, Bris- to1 at Norwich Derby at Bridgeport.
 Clancy is a good pitcher and in tight places he proves himself a very valu- able man. Yesterday he was in good form and he won the game by splen- | did headwork.
 Pete Kiernan plays that second posi- tion as if he was brought up in that territory He used the stick we'll yes terday too and as soon as his arm is back in it's old form he will again be heard from in many game. The fine ball that Waterbury played | in the field may be realized when l Meriden up to the seventh inning had only four runs off 15 hits. Roger Con nor has a good team if he had a couple of good pitchers. Meriden Journal.
 Poor Luby, the boy tried hard enough to pitch good ball but somehow he could not control it. He looked about as disheartened player when he was put on the bench as any man that has ever been taken out of the box.
 Waterbury ought to be an easy mark for New London today. Now l is the time to pile up the victories. They will help out on the averages when the race waxes hot.--New Lon- don Day. The easy thing was on the other side.
 Murphy on short and Kane on third for New London are two pretty lively l ball players They can line the balls across the diamond about as fast as any players that have been here this season. Murphy is also dangerous man at the bat.
 Queen is one of the most willing pitchers that has ever graced the box. If he could only round into winning form he would become popular in Wa | terbury. He has asked for the permis- sion to pitch the two games against New Haven to-day and he will prob ably be given the chance. Let us hope that he wins one of the two at any rate.
 Another new pitcher is on the way here but we won't say much about him until we are satisfied he is all right. The finds that came here this season were poor findings for any team. They came with all kinds of recommends from managers in the bigger leagues but the managers of those leagues do not yet realize that this little league is not slow one.
 New Haven makes her first appear ance here tomorrow with Jimmy Cat1- ayan, George Bone and the rest of the push. New Haven is playing pret- ty fast ball those days and this game tomorrow will be corker. Clancy will be in the points and that will mean
 much to the home team. We want that game tomorrow and probably we will get it. At any rate it will be a
 game worth watching.
 Roger Connor, in a Norwich Record l interview yesterday said sThe New l London team is no better than mine, which is bad enough. Derby has a hnstling lot of players, altogether a l team Denny can be proud of. :" Roger should think again. What did New
 London do with Derby yesterday, and | what are we doing to Waterbury? ]? Roger must be s'nervously prostrated." :" I-New London Globe. Just remember
 what you did yesterday and what we
 will do again when our pitchers get around.
 Tom Burns, the new Buffalo manag- | er,, says: s.It was a bad game on Buf- 1 ralo's part, but such things will happen to the best clubs. The infield is weak. I We need a good shortstop so that Atherton can go to second. l will have one here, perhaps, before the Provi- dence series is over. Murray has half
 dozen extra players and shall try to induce him to let me have Sutor Sullivan, who formerly played for Buff falo, and who is an excellent shortstop. So far as I have been able to judge I the team needs another right-handed l twirler, a change catcher and a lively l infielder With these additions we will
 be in the hunt"
 Garry Wilson will find himself just
 s short for his dirty work of yes 1 terday. When running to third base
 in the second inning he was accidental | ly struck in the face by Ruhfand, who | held the ball. Wilson at once became | pugnacious and wanted to scrap, but | he thought better of it when he saw
 some of the Waterbury players close around him. In the third inning he showed the mettle he was made of | when Rutland was running to second base He was waiting for Ruhland | with the ball and instead of touching him with it he hammered him on the
 back as hard as he could bring his l hand down. Captain Stanhope sat on the bench and when Wilson came in | from the field he was informed that his dirty trick would cost him $5. That l is the proper spirit to show and the right way to make ball playing clean. | Cusick was put out of the game
 Wednesday in the third inning. He
 has been playing third for New Haven.
 It was thought that Cusick was sick.
 This is what Captain Canavan says:
 "Cusick was put out of the game be- cause he made deliberate attempt to
 throw it to the Bristol team. I was
 suspicious of him when I saw the way
 in which he was playing his position.
 He made scarcely any attempt to stop
 the balls winch came his way and fumbled them outrageously. But when he came to the bat and simply
 walked to first after hitting the ball. saw that he was throwing the game away and sent him to the bench. Gu
 sick took his glove and went to the
 club house. After the game was over,
