AMATEuR NOTES.

Den Fox, member of the old Acme team, played for few innings with the PastiIne A. c. yesterday.
 It appears as if it were impossible for the St Thomas Cadets to win from the Brooklyn A. c. These clubs are strong but friendly rivals.
 The ex-state leaguers who happen now and then to stray into the Anna teur league games find that they are none too fast for the amateurs.
 The Washington Hill A. O. players made a neat appearance yesterday in their new suits. The suits are of a neat design and are made of blue fan nel, with pink trimmings.
 Hoar pitched a great game yester7 day. It is said that it was the fourth game he pitched in two days. Hoar, who has wonderful staying powers, is pitching for a shop team in New Britain.
 Coughlan, the regular assigned um- pire, was not permitted to umpire for the Brooklyn A. O. and St Thomas Cadets yesterday This action by these two club managers will be considered at the next meeting of the league. One of the above managers at q recent
 
 the City Amateur league, when the question of a protested game was laid before the meeting, made an eloquent plea about abiding by the decisions of the umpire He spoke in the right vein, perhaps, then, but he should practice what he breaches. If men are appointed as umpires, they should be permitted to officiate. If they are in- competent, drop them from the list.
 Derby here tomorrow
 Roger Connor evidently steadied the New Haven Blues, for they have been playing great ball. Bridgeport is glad Big Roger has joined the New Havens The Orators haven't been able to beat them, but now they'll come easier. They always could win from Roger Bridgeport Farmer.
 Derby comes here tomorrow for a beating, and a good one at that. At least that is what the local team says. The local players feel that they are too good to be down at the bottom of the ladder and they claim they will not be there at the end of this week Derby will have to be one of the stepping stones by which they rise out of the last place.
 We won but two games last week, but we ought to do better this week. We start off with New London to-day at home. and that should be a victory. Then comes Derby tomorrow, and there should be another win. That will be two games to start with. and We would have good chances to take a couple more before the week was over.
 Wonder what has become of Me1i- den's claim for Fitzpatrick? It might be news to Manager Reilly to know that Manager Canavan has a stronger claim for that player than any other managerd in the league, and he is ill position to back up his claim with doc umentary evidence, too. 1t was solely due to the personal influence of Man ager Harrington that Fitzpatrick re turned to the game, and his reappear- ance has given the sport boom in Waterbury. If another manager should insist upon any claim for him the player would simply be driven back to the shop where he was employed New Haven Register.
 Manager John H. Sharrott of the l Worcester nine of the Eastern league lies seriously i'll in the Hartford City hospital. He is threatened with blood poisoning as the result of bite from an insect received on the base ball field in Worcester three days ago. His liI has since been badly inflamed. Satur | day afternoon an operation was per formed by a council of physicians and | it was found necessary to remove ar oblong piece of his lip, about an incl square. to check the blood poisoning He will be taken to his home in Wor cester this week.
