 The official records of the Water bury baseball players of the state league are given below. The work this season has been more tedious ana complicated because of the great num- Der of players whose names have been on the Waterbury pay roll. Altogether there have been forty-four players Who wore the colOrs of the local team or were known as members of the Wa ferbury baseball club. Some of those players were not given a full game trial and some had one game only. When the season closed there were fourteen men on the salary list. That would leave just thirty men who had been released or who severed their connection with the team for some req son. This includes Roger Connor who sold out his interests and joined the New Haven team. It also includes Billy Miles who pitched one game III order to help out Manager Harring- ton. Terry McGovern. the little fight CT. is another name among those OH the retired list.
 Of the men released or otherwise dropped thirteen were pitchers which showed the hunt that was being made to secure good men in the box There were no catchers among the retired men as Matthews and LuSkey did the catching throughout the season There were two first baSemen, COnnOr and CrOnin- COnnOr. as We said before. re- tired from the team to take another position CrOnin was one of Water bury's amateurs who helped to fill the hole after COnnor retired. He was not quite fast enough and had to go with the rest Six of the dropped ones were second baseman. prominent among them being our old friend Pete Kfernan. whose arm troubled him in the early part of the season, but yEilO finished quite strong with Derby in the last few weeks of playing. Two were third base men. one being Burgess, an- other local amateur, and the other Cusfck- One short stop was released during the season. Haskell, who failed 10 make good. There were no left fielders on the release list as Weis- becker filled the bill all the season and was the only player on the team that player every game. Three center fieIders were tried and found wanting and George Courtney finally filled the gap in that territory. Of right fielders turned down we had two and Terry AIcGOyern who played but part of q game. This makes the total of thirty players who are not now on the re- serve list of the Waterbury team.
 There were 1O6 games played by the Waterbury team and one forfeited game which makes the total number 1O7. The only player on the local team to take part in every game was Louis Weisbecker. who was on deck at every call. Matthews was the next with 1O3 and Mccormick 1O2. In bat ting there are but three men as good or better than 800. Pat Cavanaugh, &r. .rI- for the four games that he played has a big lead in the batting average. The other two who were 300 or better were Iuskey and Weisbecker. Clancey's record as batting pitcher was bril- liant one being close to the 300 mark. The lowest in standing was Miriam, who had but one hit in the three games he pitched All the others were over POO with the exception of Linderman, who went below that figure.
 In fielding Linderman and Miriam had clean records and topped the list while TImmy O'ROurke was the low est in the standing. Drew's record was a good one and this player never play ed better ball in in the State league than he has played for Waterbury this season.
 Waller and Clancy had pretty race for the pitching honors but the red topped fellow won out by a narrow margin Linderman was next with Miriam in the rear. Altogether it was a great season for baseball in Water bury and with the men that Manager Harrington has reserved for next sea- son and half a dozen new players whom he has in view Waterbury ought to be right in the swim.
