 Perhaps the Waterbury team will do better away from home for the second week than she has at home the first.
 Francis Hoffman. who recently left Winsted for Waterbury, will play ball with the Cadets of that city.-Winsted Citizen.
 Tat Mccormick boy is a corker, He covers Pete Kiernan's position at third just as well as the old veteran himself. He is some cards with the stick, too.
 Hinchman had twelve chances at second yesterday and accepted eleven of them. His one error was given him because of the luke decision of Umpire Best.
 Little Mccormick will cover the short garden, and from his work at third yesterday he will make a corker. He is fact, an accurate thrower and he ought to fill the bill correctly.
 A new player has been signed for the third position. His name is H. J. Rutland and he comes here from Bal timore. He is a likely looking chap and his work in practice to-day was all right.
 Just think of it Phil Corcoran got three hits off Joe Herndon. That was one of the surprises of the game. Phil did some pitching after that fifth in ming, however, and Waterbury did not get the smell of hit
 A'Haesy, who has been heralded as a wonder on the third bag for Bridge port did not show any of his wonderful playing here yesterday. He had but one hit, two bagger, and his one error was very bad one.
 The Sullivan who played here for Norwich in the right field on Monday is a cousin of J. Matt Sullivan of this city. He halls from Thompsonville and ought to make good ball player because he has been at it ever since he was able to walk.
 The Portland team is very polo this season. Long John Wiley is the cap tain. Cunningham of Plymoslth is re- hearsing at third base, and they say he shoots the ball across like q Col lins; Jimmy Canayan puts a nice finish on the territory about second base Broclzton Enterprise. How about that New Haven?
 Mickey Delaney, our little friend Mickey, put up star game for Bridge port at second and at the bat. He had ten chances and got away with nine of them At the bat he rapped out two pretty singles. Mickey is doing better than some of his friends @ down in Bridgeport expected.
 Pete Kiernan saved Roger Connor from an out yesterday although the big fellow did not think so at the time. Pete grabbed Roger as he was round ing the third bag to- make for nome and whirled him back on to the third base. Had he not done so Roger would have been certain out at the home plate.
 Haskell, the shortstop, has been re- leased at his own request. He want ed to quit in the middle of the game yesterday, he was playing so poorly, and after the game was over he ln- sisted on his discharge. Haskell proved himself Q good man in prac- tice, but he lost heart whenever he made an error and he knew it and wanted to quit.
 Dan Hoffman of Torrington, who has been signed since the beginning of the season as a pitcher by the Water bury club, reported to-day, and there
  port if he does what he. says he can do. He claims that he will show even better results than young Tuckey of Naugatuck. who is down in Derby, and he will be given a chance to prove it.
 Are the base ball cranks to be an- moved by such exhibitions of umpiring as that displayed by Best on Tuesday? If so fbere will be liYelier. scenes at the park than those created by the Alling strikers. Best does not seem able to form any real sober judgment of plays, but goes at the work in hit or miss style. and more frequently misses than hits.-Ansonia Sentinel. Correct, my boy! Correct.
 Says the Lewiston Journal of 9 re cent practice game up there: Ut was one of those dusty, gritty days of May when at one moment you think it May and again May-be-not The winds from Streaked mountain streaked it over diamond and sifted into the back hair of Manager Doe, changing 1t into 8 bIeached-blonde color. In the midst of his board of arbitration MT Doe sat on a carpenters saw-horse, having swapped his four-in-hand for that. The grand stand was not completed so set tees were moved out to the lines and here the knockers, rubberers, board of arbitration and committee on transpor- tation by fast freight homeward bound sat and dealt out free passes to walk to deserving players
 Bobby Unglaub had better have a mask made to keep his head from en- larging further, judging from the fol lowing letter: Sporting Writer of Hartford Courant: l am very sorry indeed that I as a gentleman must call your attention to the personal remark in this mornings column of your worthy paper. I have no kick coming whatever for a knock which belongs there, but see you are just the same as all other newspaper men. You think because of your position you can make personal remarks. Now let me tell you right now and here, my dear friend, that you are taking an awful job on your hands when you think you can rip me up like this and get away with it. I do not know you but will have settlement with you neverthe- less before this season is gone, very far. If the Hoodlums x rowdies in the bleachers & press box" knew bet ter, no such carrying on would have been present at the game but as "Ig- norance is bliss" with newspaper men and others I'll say no more but let you s1- C T 4
