Perhaps we need other players be

hrl9 e fCiy SCIlOnS CEIOLN OJ Hinchman yesterday and a costly one.
 The week has started off no better and if it is going to be repetition of last week something ought to be done and right away too.
 The praise CD that the papers throughout the state are giving the Waterbury team ought to strike ten we will grow stronger. We certainly need to.
 There will be no game here until Thursday and then we will face the team that defeated us yesterday with the boy wonder up again probably. We ought to be in form by that time and we hope so.
 Manager McGraw of the Baltimore baseball club, has instructed all his pitchers to give LaJoie base on balls if there are men on bases when he comes to the bat. Don't let him hit the ball under any circumstances" was his final instructions to Howell in re- cent game.
 Manager Shea has notified Secretary ORourke and President Whitlock that no matter where New London is sched- uled to play hereafter on the circuit, when Hart was found there to umpire, New London will forfeit the game. This statement was made thus early so of the position of New London, and that there shall be no ppointment.s New London Globe.
 There was an exciting ball game ber tween Americans and Cubans in San tiago, Sunday. The Cubans won by the score of II to 10 During the en- thusiastic demonstration which follow ed, hundreds crowding on to the field, a jubilant Cuban attempted to pull down the American flag to, half mast. The American players interfered, and a lively scrimmage followed. A squad of mounted rural guards drew their machetes and chargedsthe crowd, cry ing, 'sVfya Ia Bandera AmericanoW (''Long Live the American Flag-) The guards arrested the offender, who dis claimed intentional disrespect of the flag and said it was a thoughtless joke. He was released. No one was serious ly hurt.
 The following tid bits from the Bridgeport Standard ought to Jar Ine nerves of Roger Connor and his men: Weisbecker's throw from deep center cut Delaney off at the plate. 1t was a beaut. Hinchman can play marbles better than he can second base. Queen, Waterbury's Ianky twirler, made run for the small boy He makes both ,1 af1snlns and re- sembles the old Dutch windmill in mo- ton. When there are mea on bases Queen dispenses With the windmill motion and delivers the ball i'll a ser pentine fashion, doubling up ana straightening out He pulls himself together after delivering the ball, as II the exertion fairly shook him to pieces. Tn spite of all his antics Queen p1tcn- ed very good ball, but unfortunately had no team in back of him. Like the Meriden's, who appeared here last Monday, the Waterbury team @ seems to have no head. Ruhland, Water burv;s third bag attendant, is not strong enough forsthfss league. One de- cfsion by Umpire sale Cam was clearly wrong. It robbed Roger Connor of base hit. Mccormick more than ills Fitzpatrick's shoes at short. Wels- becker is a sure fielder, good stick CT. and above all gentleman on and off the field. Roger Connor has a find in Mccormick, Waterbury's team IS not in the race as now constituted. Wa terbury sadly misses Pete Kiernan at third and at the bat. Luskey Is her aided as phenom, but he did notexhib- it any of it Saturday Young Hoffman got a stroke of stage fright almost eaualing that which Howell exhibited last week. Roger got excited several times and started to argue but the 2o- second rule worked to charm. There are just three ball players on the Wa terbury team, the rest are just apout of the marble playing ability.
