Waterbury Democrat., 1901-05-15

According to Frank Bancroft, John Dobbs, the outfielder, has not been re leased by Cincinnati.
 4 new. man named Donnelly, will cover second base in the game at Mer- iden today. Telegrams have been sent to various pitchers and some of them may be on here this week.
 News was received in Cincinnati last night that President John T. Brush had notified Manager McPhee of the Cincinnati club to release Mike Kahoe under the league magnates' ruling as to the number of players. Manager Canayan is trying to get Manager Connor to consent to a dou- ble header here on Friday, to play off the postponed game of last Friday. If he is successful both games will be for a single admission.-New Haven Register.
 In twenty games played in the American league during the month of April, the average attendance was C. 323. Twenty-eight games were played by the National league clubs and the average attendance was little more than 4,000.
 A story has been floating around to the effect that Buckenberger intends  topped boy is allowed to go Manager Shindle had better reach him by wire less telegraphy. Bill is certainly all right in the estimation of Hartford | fans.-Hartford Post.
 Tom Burns of Springfield will man. age the Buffalo base ball club if he and President Franklin come to terms. Burns was in Buffalo last night in re | sponse to telegram from MT Frank lin. The latter was out of the city, but will return to-day and the probabilities are that Burns will be engaged. Something will have to be done by Manager Connor to make his team stronger, and no one realizes that fact any more than does the manager. He has already had seventeen men on his list, but he has not the right combina- ton as yet. He is on the hunt now for two more pitchers and several other players.
 We are in favor of resembling the rule allowing only sixteen men after May 15," says Frank Bancroft. "If we are obliged to let some of the ex- tra men go the American league will send cabs for them, and what's the use of letting the men get away! There was a vote on the question last week and I understand Boston and Philadelphia were the only ones op- posed to revoking the rule. 7 New London is playing as fast ball as any team in the league just at pres ent and when they come here to-mor- row the fans will be treated to some great ball playing. It will be good contest to watch, for Clancy will prob l ably be in the box for Waterbury and he will do his best to land another home game. He ought to have won that game in New London the other day, but an error lost it for him, and it was not his error either. Frank Wheeler of Broad Brook. who played second base for the Rockvilles last season and thus far this year, has been released. John MeInnes of Caro- lima, R. l., has been signed to play sec ond. McInnes is a pitcher and for | merly was one of the twirlers on the Providence Eastern league team. He has secured a position as weaver in one of the mills. He is said to be a crack twirler and also good second decentralization Courant
