nanaper connor and Inskey are hay-

ing pretty race in the batting column Just now the manager leads but 1t is only by a few points and a game may change the aspect of affairs.

 The batting of Weisbecker was again q noteworthy feature yesterday and he is proving conclusively that he can stick with the best man in this league if he wants to try. He will find that by playing ball all the time he will make friends with everybody and when the time does come for him to be remembered he will not be for gotten.
 The game in Pittsburg on Wednes- day between the Pirates and Bostons was one of the most remarkable that has taken place in many day. he losers, the Bostons, made fifteen hits and did not score, while the winners made only four hits.s To one who did not see the game it is difficult to com prehend how, with any sort ofsbase running fifteen hits could fail to pro duce a run. scattered though the hits may have been.
 The sporting writers who were so kindly advising the Waterbury man. ager to drop about six of his players and improve the team had better keep a sharp watch on their own teams. Some oft hem need a few repairs and that right away. Waterbury is all right and now that the ginger has Some of them need few repairs and those champion teams hustling to hold their heads above water.
 David J. NJ. Keough, a member of the champion Utica base ball team of 1886, died at his home in that city yes terday His ability as catcher at traeted the attention of managers in the larger leagues and later he played with Cincinnati, Memphis and Phlla- delphia, leaving the profession in lS93 to accept the position of plumbing in- spector of Utica. His brother George was an expert pitcher and when the two played together they were called the pony battery"
 Thirty-one games have been played in the National league in which one of the competing teams failed to score. The Cincinnatis were shut out eight times and the Chicagoes met the same fate in seven games. New York failed to score in six gaines, Boston four, Philadelphia in three, and Brooklyn, Pittsburg and St Louis one each. Han Ions players are the only club which have failed to apply the whitewash brush. Pittsburg shut out the oppos-. ing teams nine times, New York sue ceeded in doing the trick in seven games, Philadelphia in six, Boston in four. St Louis in three, and Chicago and Cincinnati one each.
 Rossan, the mute pitcher, informed a friend in New London yesterday that no matter what decision the league directors arrived at during the meeting Wednesday night, he would not play with Manager O'Rourke un- der any circumstances. Rather than bow to the dictates of the oratorical base ball magnate, Rossan says he would play in another league. The New London pitcher would not have to go far to get job, in the opinion of all who are acquainted with the in side facts of the case. It is stated that Manager Soby of the Hartford club | is holding out inducements to him and that if it is made impossible to play in | the Connecticut league he will imme- | diately sign with Hartford.-Norwich Record.
 1 Tomorrow afternoon at the Athletic 1 field the base ball fans will have an | opportunity of witnessing a fine game | of ball by two teams in the City Anna | teu: league, the St Josephs and the | Brooklyn A. c. A game has not been played at the Athletic field since Wednesday, and it will pay the fans to attend this one, as there is no doubt but that the game will be inter- esting. It will be a regular City 1 league contest. As both. teams are near the top a victory means much. Therault, the pitching phenomenon of I the season, will pitch for St Josephs. and Kelly will in all probability twirl 1 for the B. A. c. A large, crowd should turn out to see the game Each team in the league is under considerable ex- l pense. They have to pay the umpires buy balls. pay for trophies and other Eincidentals, and at the same time there lfis.no income. Therefore as1arge crowd should turn out tomorrow afternoon.
 When Con Cassidy pitched his frs game against the Derby players dowT
 in Derby the other day it was one o1
 those extremely hot ones. Jerry Den
 ny was anxious to know who was go
 ing to do the twirling for Waterbury
 and when he learned that young Gas
 sidy was to do the pitching he turned
 away in disgust with the remark. ''I
 is shame that we will be made to ruI
 bases so many times to-day and tn,
 weather as roasting as this is. It i:
 too bad that we can't have a goo( l pitcher up against us and not have {
 young fellow whom we will have tt
 pound all over the lot" About tn,
 fifth inning Democrat representative
 who was present at the game, and wht
 saw the frantic efforts of the Derby
 strikers to try to. hit the ball, asked
 Jerry if he had begun to warm up yet
 .'Well I should say not, we are break
 ing our backs trying to hit that youn.
 fellow and we can't do it, I guess W,
 won't do much running today
