Waterbury Democrat., 1902-08-05
A very snappy game of bali.


 Tommy Manning is expected to be in the game here this afternoon, and with Lindemann in the box the locals should be able to trim Hartford.
 Monroe caught good game yester- day and his record of assists speaks for itself. It is too bad he cannot use the stick a little better.
 Lindemann has returned and things begin to look brighter for Waterbury. With one more good twirler we would now be in the running.
 There will be an important meeting of the City league this evening at the St Josephs' rooms. The suspension of Players Mulligan and Camp will be of fcialy declared off at this meeting
 Short is not hitting the ball as well as he should. He ought to try and place shorter hits and not send them into the outield. The fielders lay out for him and a little tap would send the ball safe
 The pitcher of the New Orleans base ball team named Freeland recently died of brain fever. He had been i'll only short time, passing away in q delirium, in which he imagined he was again on the diamond pitching game.
 McGraw fined Bowerman '$25 for not reporting at the game in Bayonne on Sunday. Bowerman said yesterday that he was hit on the arm by the ball on Saturday and did not think he would be required to report He thought. an injustice had been done him and talked of quitting the New York team.
 The O'Neill battery of St Louis has been instrumental in defeating the Pittsburgs three times this season. This is feat that no other pitcher and catcher in the country has accom- plished. And yet the manager of the St Louis team was about to release them.
 That was pretty hard rap that Charley Clancy received yesterday and another pitcher would have retired from the game. Not so Clancy, how ever, for he fought all the harder to win. We have very strong suspicion that if another of our twirlers had re- ceived that whack he would be out of the game for several weeks. It would undoubtedly greatly i'm. prove the game in Waterbury if Dan I Shannon could be induced to take the | management of the team. He would. of course. have to have financial in 1 terest in it to make it a success. liar rington doesn't seem to be able to get anything out of the team Waterbury is pretty far down. but Shannon might be able to pick it up some Many a good business has gone to the dogs be cause the man responsible for conduct ing it would not admit his inability to cope with the situation Harrington should give way to some one capable of lifting the club into position of re peetability.-New London Globe. Yei I we trimmed you yesterday
 Umpire Dest to-day handed in his resignation from the staff of umpires in the Connecticut Base Ball league. says the New Haven Register Dest said to-day that he has been impelled to do so by the threats of Secretary 1 O'Rozlrke after Saturdays game at New London. O'RourEe complained that he got the short end of the de. cisions and Dest replied that he gave them as he saw the plays. To this O'Rourke said. according to Dest 'sWel1, if you don't give me q better show. you won't get any more assign ments." Thereupon Dest concluded the best thing to be done was to show the secretary that he doesn't care tC wear his collar.
