The records of the Waterbury play CTS have been missing for few weeks because the compiler took few days off to see how they do things in the west and incidentally to learn what sort of q place Milwaukee was in fe- gard to base ball. He discovered suf- ficient to know that there is not much chance of q ball team being in Mill waukee next season, unless 1t Is minor league team. The knockers out in that city would drive the best ball team in the country to the asylum, and it would be utterly impossible for young blood to grow up with the coun- try in q ball team in that place. The records are given below, however, as compiled from the official scores of the various games of the past three weeks.
 There have been several changes since the last records appeared, nota- bly, the retirement of Roger COnnor. When the big fellow did quit Water bury he was leading his team in bat ting and fielding. Up to Saturday night young Timmy O'ROurke is the leader in batting. and although play ing in but five games he has q phe- nOmenal record. Roger Connor comes next to him. and Miriam and Luskey follow. Those are the only men bat llIIS over tue OuO uldFk. SiA HIGH Hay c dropped from the list of players in those three weeks, one of them our old friend. Peter Kiernan, who is now covering the third position for Derby. Young Cassidy was also dropped. as were four new players who were given q trial by the new manager, George E. Harrington.
 In fielding Miriam, Collif1ower and Milligan. one of the men dropped. lead the team with a clean percentage. Roger Connor is next, and he Is closely followed by Luskey and Fitz- patrick. The fielding has improved in the last two weeks on each mans part.
 Miriam and Collifiower having pitched but one game each, and having won, of course lead the pitching depart ment. Waller is next. and Clancy after him. The records are as follows: r

 It is better to turn to Waterbury s work, says the Bridgeport Telegram, commenting on yesterdays game The team player with ginger all through and never let up from start to finish Things came their way and they took advantage of the handouts. Their only error was q muff by Courtney of a difficult fly, and that did not come until the last inning. Clancy pitched and was hit hard, but he kept the safe drives scattered so that they did not count much for runs
 Mccormick put up a grand game at third and Fitzpatrick took care or everything around second. CoIli- flower covered first and cabbaged every chance, including q lively foul which showed disposition to get away. On this nice catch he accom- plished a double play. as Pfeninger. thinking there were two out, raced home from second. Luskey batted hard and timely and Matthews put in two drives that siZZled.
 Weisbecker's double and Luskey' s single gave run in the first for the visitors. That was earned, but the trouble came in the fifth and the small number present fairly grOaned. Clancy walked as a starter. FitZ- patrick hit to Mccormick. The ball was placed nicely in Rogers hands. but he made rank muff Weisbecker sacrificed. moving both men up. Colli- flower flew to Morgan and the men were held on their bases. Luskey hit an easy one to Pfeninger and he sent the ball over to Yale on the ground and about six feet wide of the base. Two men ran in and the batter made third. from whence he scored on Me Cormick's little grOunder which went safe because Yale left his base. That was all. but it made the crowd sore. In the fifth CollifiOwer was hit with the ball. Luskey sacrificed and Me COrmick's out put him on third. Mur- phys hard single scored him.
 In the seventh Weisbecker hit to Pfeninger and Dan sealed the ball to the fence. 1t was q beauty Waterbury, good for three bases. Collifiower sent fly far out to Mor- gan and it was dead easy for the fast Dutchman to tally. That ended Waterbury's run getting.
 The score and summary:

FINISHING OF BRoADCLOTH.
Various Processes Undergone by tn; Goods Before It Is Placed
 on Sale.

In some mills the goods are buried and sewed as soon as they come from the loom, but generally they are first washed, then buried, sewed, carbon ized, neutralized, dried, weighed and measured for the fulling. If goods containing a large amount of seeds, burrs, etc.,. are fulled before carbon izing, it is often found necessary to carbonize second time, as a great X part of the vegetable matter has be- come so firmly irnbedded in the body of the cloth that the acid cannot easily reach it. This extra carbonizing is liable to injure' the goods.
 Both sulphuric and acetic acid have been used for many years in fulling. Sulphuric acid has been mostly em- ployed for piece dyed goods, felts and similar fabrics. Acetic acid has found the most favor for wool dyed cloths, and sometimes a mixture composed of half of each kind has been found to work we'll. The strength of the acid solutions varies between one and one half and two per cent.
 The goods are first saturated with the acid solution. Some fnishers full the goods partially in soap, then wash them thoroughly and complete the fulling process with acid. Alter she fulling is completed, the goods are neutralized in the same way as in the carbonizing process. The cloth is now extracted, and, in case it is not to be carbonized before fu1ing, is sent to the fulling mill. After fulling the goods are gigged, dried and cropped. A double gig is nearly always used. For the finishing part of the process both cylinders are run with the pap. The amount of the gigging, says N. Reiser, in the Textile World, depends upon the fineness of the goods. It should be continued until smooth, lustrous surface is obtained. In or der to set the nap, the goods are wound, while wet, on rolls, and left in this condition from 12 to 24 hours, or until the greater part of the water has been drained off; the rolls are oc- casionaily turned end for end during this time. The goods are now dried, the nap being brushed down at the same time. They are next back buried, and given five or six runs on the cropping shear; after shearing they are brushed, hot pressed in a plate press, steamed for quarter of an hour and left to cool on rolls. The goods are next dried and weighed fo1 the dyeing process.

Harvey Parker Going to London to
 Seek New Game.

Seek New Game.
 Tom Jenkins. the Cleveland wrestler, has induced one of the heavyweight pugilists to give him match. The other day George Tuohey, representing Jenkins. met Peter Lowery, Mahers manager, and a contest was arrangeu. The affair is to be decided at Atlantic City on August s. The articles call for the first fall to be at catch-as-catcli- can, the second Graeco-Roman,7 and the third collar and elbow.a The man scoring the best tWoeout of three falls, of course, is to be, the victor. Al though Maher is not an expert at wrestling he has a shade the better of the argument, as Jenkins is unfamiliar with collar and elbow and Graeco- Roman style. His forte is catch-as- K catch-can.
 A match between Harvey Parker of Brockton and Jack Carkeek, the Amer jean, who has been in England for a long time, will probably be arranged i'll q few days. Parker recently left this country for London for the pur- pose of meeting Carkeek at catch-as- catch-can style. The latter has replied to Parker's challenge and all that re amins to ratify the match is to sign the articles and post forfeits. Carkeelz is keeping up his record in England. He is now meeting all corners at the London music halls. During the past month Carkeek has been facing on an average three men a night and never has failed to throw his opponents. Re gently, Mike Callan, the champion of Lancashire, met Carkeek. The latter threw Callan in eleven minutes. On the following night Carkeek wrestled Tom Cannon. the champion of Eng land Carkeek undertook to throw Cannon iE fifteen minutes. He failed however, but he had the better of the bout on points.

The following unique communication was handed in through the rear win dow of the Democrat office this morn ing:
 To the Sporting Editor of Democrat:
 Please correct the item in last even ing's Democrat which said that the Barnard Eagles defeated the Washing ton Square Stars. Instead of beating. us, we beat. them to the tune of 2S Sto 6. This is the second defeat that they. have received at our hands. The other score was 5S to 10, but we did not put it in the papers because it would dis grace any ordinary teams name. We are willing to play them again for any part of $20 and we would like to warn any other team against their manage ment. They are gang of crawlers.

Will Stinson, the Cambridge flyer, won the fifteen-mile motor-paced race on the cycle track in Madison Square Garden last night. His competitor was Bobby Walthour of Atlanta, Ga, but he was only a contender for a little more than two miles, when an accident put him out of the race, after he had broken the worlds indoor record ill the first and second miles. In the fifth heat of the one-mile amateur handicap seven of the ten starters fell, some of them from the highest point of the steep banked track. Milton Craig won the opening event, half-mile for novices George c. Schrieber of the Harlem wheelmen won the final heat of the half-mile race for amateurs. and a few minute later qualified from scratch in the first heat of the one mile amateur handicap, by running second to T.. H. Hall, whom he con- ceded 12O yards. The effort proved too much for Craig, as he was unplaced in the final heat, which was won by H. Y. Bedell of Hackensack, N. J., who had sixty yards, Archie Rollings of New Bedford. Mass, running second, about four feet behind the winner, from the same mark, sixty yards.

 Cincinnati was aroused yesterday over the report that John T. Brush may dispose of his interest in the Cincinnati club. Parties, of whom w. Kelsey Schoeff, the street car magnate, is the head, have asked Brush and Ashley Lloyd to put price on the club and franchises. They declare they will pay any reasonable price for the club. MT Lloyd, who expects to retire at the close of the season, has notified Brush, but no answer has been received. The offer is taken as a pretty sure sign that Cincinnati will be in the National league next year and for what ever term the next agreement extends.
 Manager Harrington has made protest to the manager of the Albany team of the New York State league against the playing of George F. Prem tiss, who is under contract to the Wa terbury team. The reserve list of the Albany team was published a few. days dSO duu dluOHS Lnt lldtiHGS TeSGEN6u was that of George F. Wilson This is no other than George F. Prentiss. Manager Harrington has also written to Nick Young about the matter and he has notified the Albany manager that he will have the other New York teams protest all the games in which Prentiss has pitched unless he receives the return of Prentiss. He does this not because he needs Prentiss, but just to teach him lesson for his treatment of some Waterbury people who used him well.
 The State leagues schedule for the week is as follows:
 Tuesday-Bristol at Norwich, Meri- den at New London, Bridgeport at New Haven two games), Waterbury at Derby.
