Bridgeport here Monday morning.
 Saturday-Brist at New London, New Haven at Bridgeport, Meriden at Norwich, Derby at Waterbury.
 Says Ban Johnson: You notice these bullies on the field, supported by a crowd, where the umpire has no chance to defend himself, never go around to the hotel at night looking for an umpire. If they did my opin- ion is about half of them would get a good licking. I don't know but that would like to see several of them try it.''
 Monday morning Bridgeport will come here and it will be a very inter- esting battle, because Bridgeport is making a strong bid for the lead, and she is fighting every team to get there. It will be the last meeting of the TWO teams this season and We may have chance to go up against Dougherty, who will play with Cincinnati next season. Waterbury will make a strong bid for the game and if she wins it Bridgeport's chances for win ming the pennant will be gone.
 It was decided yesterday to have all of the remaining Brockton games with Hartford transferred to this city. Two games vii be played Labor day, the morning game at 10 o'clock and the af- ternoon at 4 o'clock. Two games will be played Tuesday afternoon and two Thursday. There was some talk of playing game in Springfield, but the grounds there are covered with weeds and a short man like Kuhns would have to carry a scythe with him in order to get up to a ball.-Hartford Courant.
 There are many { strangef Fumors floating around the circuit about some of the Bristol players and their sudden attack of poor baseball playing. -A Bristol resident informal aGHeklhcrak representative yesterday that one or two Of ltifefn are under suspicion of selling out the games. He further said that there was talk of Bristol los ing the penEant intentionally, as it would require better team even than they have now to make base ball pay in Bristol next season, if they win the pennant this season.
 Manager w. J. Tracy of the Bristol base ball club showed how he felt over some of the players making so many errors in the New Haven game on Thursday by dealing out punishment that night. Kid Berry, the short-stop, who was wanted by the Cincinnati club last Saturday and who made five errors Thursday, was put on the bench for ten days, as was also "Red" Ow- ems, the second baseman. It was un- derstood yesterday that both these players were to be fined later for their poor work Thursday. When the Bris- tol club left for Norwich yesterday morning neither Berry or Owens ac- | companied it.
 Here are a few things about Fred Doe. up in Maine: ''It was lovely day for the game, and Mir Doe ought to have drawn a thousand people. As it was he had 300, if you don't care whether you lie or not.-Lewiston Journal" Lewiston will not be ins cluded in the New England league next year. Fred Doe says that when the present season has closed he wia have dropped about $500 on his Wild West show. Lewiston is a dead one as a base ball town said Doe, and | it will be years before another New England league team finds it's way into l Auburn park. Here is what Fred Doe says about Nashua: .While there was no one hurt in the Lewiston Nashua game on Friday, it wasn't | the fault of the crowd. They threw | sticks and stones at us until I had to | ask Burns to have it stopped. In the 1 absence of regular umpire I was called upon to officiate, with one of the Nashua players. Speaking candidly, I gave no roast to either team, but at | the end of the game, despite the vic tory for Nashua, I was abused all aOrund."
 Philadelphians were so Overjoyed with the one game they won in their city that one critic broke forth as fol lows: Here Is a partial list of cas- ualties in the final clash between the Giants and Quakers: MT.
