 We lost the last three games be- cause we could not hit the ball. Yes- terday for instance we had several chances to score if we could land lit tie hit but the hit was not forthcom- ing. It was the same way in Bristol. Some one ought to kill that dope tiend that has taken hold of the players.
 The Meriden club was to-day given the right by Manager Canavan of New Haven to do business with Pitcher Vollendorf and the big, auburn haired Southpaw Is likely to be seen in a Meriden uniform in a day or two. He pitched great ball for Manager Miller in New Haven for two years. Meriden will make a change in it's infield tomorrow at Bridgeport. Will liam Hudson, who comes with the highest recommendation and who is known by the management to be q fine player, will cover second base and

 One baseball league for next sea- son. Ten clubs, with B. B. Johnson for president, James A. Hart, secre- tary, and Andrew Freedman, treasur- CT and main wheel of the board of di- rectorS. Such is the last combination formed upon the base ball map. Tir- ing of raids and counter raids and of planning to steal one another's play CTS; weary of fighting, conflicting dates and loss of money, the National and American magnates see their way clear to handshaking and joining or forces which will insure ten chlb league of the finest [. quality. The American league has burst it's bonds. It has expanded, but it's expansion has not been a gold mine. Some of it's cities have been disappointing and some of dts magnates; have been thOrnS in the side of the organization. A ten club league looks well for all con- cerned True. there were flaws sinsthe great twelve club league which died in 1899. Still, ten clubs of liyelier cali bre than those will, so the magnates figure, be better than sixteen dangling aggregations. Johnson, so it is out lined, will be the first president. Money affairs and general business will be in the hands of James A. Hart. This order may be reversed, according to the decision in amicable council of the magnates. The rival clubs of Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia will be con solidated. The circuit will be Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore or Providence or Brook lyn in the east; Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, St Louis, Detroit in the west 1ni the west the new sBoston and Philadelphia clubs will play Sun day ball. Men from~ the disb6nded teams will be so distributed as to in- sure strong teams in New York, Chi cago and Washington. Boston and Philadelphia consolidated will take good care of themselves. There will not be weak team in the lot, and the struggle ought to be one of the closest on record
