Waterbury Democrat., 1902-06-28

Billy Lush has been benched bystlle Bostons, and is now being used as q general utility man. His upexplain- able drop in batting is the only reason for the change.
 There was more experimenting. Ly- man was put in the box for another trial, and as usual. the game was lost Bridgeport Telegram. Lyman can give cards and spades to a lot of pitch- CTS in this league. If he is an eXperi- ment he is d good one.
 Red Owens made four hits ill the Toledo games Saturday. His work, says the Kansas City Star, was the feature of the game. Mock, who play ed with Bristol last season, is "a mem Der of the same team. It is believed that Mock induced Owens to leave the Springfield team.
 Scanlon from Torrington is a good catcher and it is a wonder he has not signed before with some league team. He has a good position in Torrington but likes the game of ball and he has been offered a pretty good thing to stay with Waterbury this season and it is almost certain that he will.
 Manager Harrington will run the game in Waterbury until July 1 and then if there is any purchasers they can talk business. That will give the person or persons who purchase the team q chance at the Fourth of July receipts If there are no purchasers he will run the team himself to the end of the season.

 Why did we let Hall go? Because the management became tired of lis tening to the hammering of the Knock CTS and gave way to their opinion against his own. Hall wasn't the best ever, but he filled the hole pretty we'll and might have done better if the knockers would have left him alone Do you know that New London is the hardest town in the league to make good in? The players say so, and they ought to know They all like to play here but they condemn the all-around knocking spirit of the fans.-New London Globe.
 It really looks as if Nerdien was about all in, and that the club would hold down the last place all season. Hartford is doing something that in- dicateS q strenuous desire to pull up in the standing, but we don't hear that of Meriden. With the Waterbury fran chise for sale and Reilly wanting 10 get rid of NIeriden, it really does look as if there was a prognosticatjOn of truth in the Norwich Records predic- tion that Meriden and Waterbury would not be included in the circuit next season.-New London Globe. Don't worry about Waterbury. Dollars to cents that she is better off financial ly to-day than any other team in the league outside of Springfield.
 The Hartfords are the most extrava- gantIy managed club i'll the league, in spite of the fact that they are losers financially as we'll as otherwise. Hart ford finds it difficult to adjust itself to the state league as Springfield has done No other management would throw away money in hiring room at hotel to dress in, and a bus to take players to and from the the game when there are accommodations at the grounds, and trolley cars running di- rect. But that is the policy of the Hartford management. That team has paid pretty good salaries, too, for play CTS of mediocre ability and this preju- dice which the Hartford newspapers worked in against the Connecticutlea- que, has proven costly A winning | team. we'll managed ill Hartford, would be the best investment in the league, not excepting Springfield Lon don Day.
 Meriden will remain in the league, that is what Connie Miller said yester- i day. when he was in this city conyers- ing with Manager O'Rourke of the Rrjdgeports. On next Wednesday Bridgeport plays in Meriden and this came will be made a benefit game for the AIeriden team. Manager O'Rourke has kindly consented to waive all claim to any percentage on that day and in return Manager Miller mas agreed to 90 to Bridgeport on the next l trin without percentage. Manager Miller says that already he has hao l offers for hundreds of dollars worth o1 tickets. After that game the team will pass into new hands for Attorney Danaher of Meriden has assumed the management and he proposes to put q corking good team in Merlden, one that will compare favorably with any team in the league Here's success TO the new attorney manager.
