 Derby will he here tomorrow.
 Meriden comes here on Thursday with an almost new team and we will be anxious to see her and beat her.
 Butler, Norwich catcher, is no find. He has pate like a billiard bali and a face like Mary Annn Doe, with all Mary Ann's antics thrown in.-Bridge- port Standard.
 Last season it was pretty good field ing and poor batting This season it is poor fielding and only fair batting. Gin ger is needed to keep the team regular. This falling dead one game and coming to life the next is getting tiresome.
 New Haven is our Jonah, just as We are the stumbling block to Bristol We will try hard to take game this after noon from the New Haven contingent. Unless some one stops New Haven pretty soon there will be no need of playing out that series to see who will win the pennant Perhaps we will be one to break a round of the ladder be heath her.
 As long as we keep ahead of New London We will not feel very bad. If Waterbury and New London could only form combination to knock out some of those other chaps it would be pleasing all around the circuit, be- cause it would make the games more interesting. The season is young yet and Manager Connor said yesterday he would win the pennant or make the biggest effort he ever did to capture it.
 Manager Connor said to his players after he had made that funny play the other day, when he stood at the plate instead of running to first base, that if any of his men had made the same play it would cost him just $10 He said he could not fine himself, for fhe has not made $10 this season and he has not cent coming to him. How ever, it is not often that the big fellow makes such mistake and he is play ing the fastest kind of base ball in the field and atsthe bat this season.
 The game tomorrow with Derby will be an interesting one. It is the postponed game from a few weeks ago and as the Derby team has the hardest team of sluggers in the league, there will be fun in store for those who at tend, as the pitcher who will twirl for Waterbury has made up his mind that it is about time that Derby was made to take back seat. Waller was hit pretty hard by the Derby team the last time he went up against those chaps and he says it will be different to-mor- row.
 William Craver of the Troy police force, one of the original Haymaker baseball nine, died at his home in Troy yesterday morning. He was member of the Haymakers at the outset of the National league over thirty years ago, and was on the team with Butcher McAtee. Mart and Steve King, and Zetlin, the pitcher Mart King is one of the only survivors of the original nine. Craver was the catcher in the old days of pitched balls, or throwing from below the knee. He had been a member of the police force here for if teen years.
 Manager John J. McGraw of the Baltimore American league club, said | yesterday that he had received a tele- gram from Hugh Jennings saying that he would play with the Baltimore club. We will play Jennings at first base, said Mir McGraw, '.and President | Johnson then can take such action as he sees fit. If it is against our inter | ton restraining him from interfering l with our players or with our carrying l out our part of the American league schedule. I firmly believe that we are | in the right in this matter. Jennings has sent me copies of letters he sent l to President Johnson and Manager l Connie Mack, telling them that Balti- more had first claim to his services.
 After carrying Amos Rusie for more l than two months at salary that many man would be glad to receive and having his services in but three games during all that time, the Cincinnati | club has come to the. conclusion that it is a waste of good money to expert l ment with the big fellow longer un less he shows signs of willingness to be of some assistance to the team. Ii seems, according to reports received by Brush, that Rusie is not taking the best of care of himself and is indiffer I,ent to the interests of the club. Brush has notified Rusie that he will have te be in good condition and pitch good bar l by the time the team returns from the East or he will be cast adrift.
 I It seems unnecessary to inform a scorer who has his summary of the game printed in newspaper that with | out the column giving times at bat for each player his score is next to being I as useless as the score by innings with runs, hits and errors and batteries l merely given. The base ball crank wants to know how many times a l player went to bat so as to get line l on the mans work, and it is absolutely necessary to have this portion of a | score if an accurate percentage of bat
 ting and fielding is kept. Won't the Ansonia Sentinel, the Waterbury Re publican and the Sunday Herald please their base ball patrons and the men 1 who follow the sport throughout the state by having their scorers furnish that sixth column giving the times al 1 bat?-New London Day.
