Waterbury Democrat., 1901-07-27

few days ago, will join the teaIn this afternoon.
 It is the general feeling in this city that the time has come when halt should be called to the lying and mis- leading reports that are being printed about New London. Stories of the games ill this city where there has been trouble caused by the absence of official umpiresN have been distorted, and New London is getting the worst of the reports. 1t can't be that the sense of fairness in the directors of the league will be prejudiced by news paper reports from the western part of the state. A more sportsmanlike spirit prevails.-New London Tele- graph.
 A good crowd saw the Tribunes de feat the Golden Star kickers in an easy contest. The Tribunes played all around the Stars even at the stick. They not only hit the ball, but Knocked the players all over themselves. The pitching of Thompson for the Tribunes was the feature of the game. The pitcher for the Stars was easy. He struck two men out, while Thompson struck out fourteen men. The score ended IT to 10. The Tribunes' line-u up was as follows: Nolan, C; Thompson, p; Day, 1b; Neagle. 2b; Hurley. 3b; Joe Thompson, ss; Hartnett, If; Law Tor, cf; Lynch, If. Any one desiring game call on Joe Thompson.
 President O'Rourke of the State league has decided to call meeting of the directors for an evening next week to act upon the New London clubs refusal to abide by the decision of the league in the Rosson matter. Manager Shea of New London has openly defied the league, and the pen alty is a forfeiture of the franchise President O'Rourke will urge that the franchise be taken from the New Lon don manager for his failure, and will favor placing it in the hands of other parties in that city. The New London club having failed to make good it's claim to Pitcher Rosson, has turned him over to the Providence club of the Eastern league. President O'Rourke yesterday telegraphed Manager Mur- ray of the Providence club that Rosson belonged to Bridgeport, and protested his playing with the Eastern league club. He also notified President Nick Young of the National league.
 An eyewitness thus describes the Odwell-Carr go: "The game was fur ther enlivened by fight between Od- well and Carr. When gthe9 former reached first in the first inning on Schaub's throw of his groundertto the plate tocatch Delahanty, Toft dropped the ball. Odwell was going on to sec ond when Carr jabbed his elbow with malice aforethought into Odwell's s neck Odwell told him if he tried it again there would be trouble3 and Oarr's reply was a swing for Odwelfs ear, which the latter. cleyerly avoided, countering with kick where it wonld do the most good. The coacherfrushed in between the twoisand the umpire ordered both men out of the game. Toft replaced Carr on first and SouderS went to center. Odwell sat on the bench and mourned the lost oppertuni- ty of fattening up his batting aver age"
 The schedule of the games in the City Amateur league for tomorrow is as follows:
 Brooklyn A. C., vs St Thomas Cadets Riverside park.
 Washington Hill A. C., vs St Josephs, Oakville.
 Jeffersons ys Pastime A. C., Water vile. Ii sat9 coflIE g8ed asR,
 All three will no doubt be rattling contests. The Brooklyn A, C.,9lyyash- ington Hill A. C., and the St Josephs are tied for first place and the St Thorn as Cadets are but a short distance be hind. The loss of game by any of these four clubs tomorrow means much. Therefore battles royal may be expected. As to the Jefferson-Pastime A. C., this will also be warm contest inasmuch as both teams intend to viii the majority of their games from now onward. Brown will probably twirl for the Jeffs.
