 The game was one of the most lively of the season. Both teams were full of ginger.
 Sporting Editor Reiger of the New Haven Register saw the game from the press box.
 The New Haven team as at present constituted will give any team in the league a run for first place. x
 John O'Brien, a professional ball player, got both his legs crushed by a Burlington freight train near Chilli cothe, Mo, while stealing ride.
 Matthews played pretty game at first base. He caught the throws, whether high or low or wild. He had sixteen put outs and one assist.
 Roger accepted all his fielding chances, but he didn't make a hit. He received a glad welcome and there would have been wild cheering if he had banged out one of his old home runs.
 A National league fielder has new excuse for poor fielding at Cincin- nati. He says that the background of many colored shirts on a hot day makes it impossible to correctly judge a ball.
 Setley, the ex-Meriden player, is play ing right field for Waterbury today. H. l.. Milligan will arrive tomorrow. He will in all probability be seen in the right field garden tomorrow and either Setley or Matthews will cover first base. Cassidy is doing the twirl- ing to-day.
 Tomorrow will be ladies day and the members of the fair sex will be per- mitted to enter the ground and to have seats on the grand stand free of charge. This innovation of the new manage ment proved successful and 1t is hoped that as large if not even a larger num- Der of the fair sex will attend the game to-morrow when Norwich plays here.
 Derby Day Bill Clymer may be a gingery ball player, but he hasn't shown it in the games at the oval. If eAN Ac1oOho 0l v euOuSut IO | amass half a dozen runs before the other fellows start, Bill has plenty of pepper. The old game about being filled with ginger is bugaboo. Derby Day Bill is simply q smooth con mer- chant and only an ordinary ball play er-Hartford Times.

 l Norwich will be here tomorrow and a warm contest may be expected. Norwich is playing strong, steady l game, and as they wish to stay near l the top, they will play their best to | beat Waterbury. The latter is no | cinch, and it will not be many days when she will have shaken from her feet the dust of last place. Waterbury has not won game as yet under the new management, but once they are | started there will be no stopping. Mil l ligan, the new outfelder, will report tomorrow.
