Waterbury Democrat., 1901-06-21
No game here tomorrow.

George Mulligan of this city l1npired the game yesterday, and his work would compare very favorably with any of the alleged umpires that we have seen here this season. He was not perfect, but his decisions were in the main correct and neither side suf fered.
 President Ban Johnson returned from his extended eastern trip yester- day and announced that Manager Clark Grif1th of the White Stockings, who had just received a i've days suspen- sion for continued kicking, had been reinstated upon his promise of future good behavior.
 Connie Best practices daily and we can state with authority that he is in good shape and anxious to get back into the game. No one has hold on Connie and he is at liberty to sign where he pleases. Players who have seen him twirl say that Connie is in prime ondition.-Bridgepor Standard.
 The Yale athletic managers stated yesterday that c. F. Cook, pitcher, and l.. G. Waddell, second base, of this years varsity nine, who graduate from the Sheffield Scientific school next week, will return to Yale next year to study law. The two are candidates for captain of next seasons varsity team.
 Peter Kiernan manages to get in some terrible errors occasionally, and yesterday he made the fans feel weary with some of his work. That throw to the home plate was the worst that has ever been seen on the local grounds. Peter needs to get a move on himself if he wishes to play in the Connecticut league.
 The Consolidated base ball team of this city will leave here on the 11:12 train tomorrow morning for Torring- ton, where they will play in the af- ternoon. They will bat in the follow ing order: Eaters, ss; Madden, If; Fitzpatrick, 2b; Burgess, 1b; Camp, cf; Scully, 3b; O'Rourke, If; Mulligan, c; Kelly, p; Therault, p.
 Judging from the great number of home runs made in the State league the pitchers must be easy. There IS no question about the ability of the batsmen.-Hartford Times. Hartford had taste of it and she does not relish it. Don't you want to buy out one of our teams to represent your city? It would be paying investment. Meriden has no license to defeat any team in this or any other league with the nine representatives that were here yesterday. Had any pitch CT but Kid Morris been in the box from the opening of the game Meriden would have made scarcely run. Wa terbury can beat that team nine times ont of ten, and take 1t easy, too. Kid Morris was released last night, after several weeks of cratic pitch ing. He not only gets himself into tight places in the last of each game, but he knocks the heart out of the team behind him, and If he had been retained much longer he would have given some of the players heart dis ease If the Kid was not afflicted as he is with deafness he would be a val uable man for any team.
 Before Wednesdays game at the Polo grounds several of the Pittsburg players were guying Bransfeld and telling him to look out for Wagner's cannon-ball throws from third base. The result was Bransfeld put on big ger glove than usual and high throw by Wagner got away from him. Cap tain Clarke forced him to go back to his regular glove. sThe fact is, said Clarke, Wagner throws 8 light ball. It is swift, but easy to handle"
 It is reported that there will be lively session at the meeting of the Players Protective association here next Sunday. Tom Daly of the Brook lyns is said to be regarded by Amer ican league players and many in the National league as the man who ought to be the next president. and the clubs are being canvassed with view of putting him up against Trimmer, the present president. It is the intention of the players, according to report, to make their organization as stanch as possible in order to present strong front if the expected peace oyertures between the two leagues come to pass next fall.
