 The report that Bill Clements is going to get $250 a month with the Kansas City team is given the joyous croak by the fans in Norwich. Bill may be, perhaps, worth 30 cents day to chop wood, but as base ball pitch CT he is another piece of timber entire ly.-Norwich Record.
 The buttons which the managers of the City Amateur league are disposing of are selling rapidly. They are a very neat affair and can be worn in the lapel of the coat. There is a background of dark blue with the words "City Amateur League 1902" in white letters.
 Michael Kennedy of Thorndike, .has asked Manager Roger Connor of the Springfield base ball team to give him trial in the infield. Kennedy has been playing with the team of St Bona venture college, in New York, and he is said by his friends to be capable of making good at shortstop or third base with the Ponies.-Springfeld Union.
 Players who jump this league and who go to an outlaw organization or to some private or independent team should be given the punishment de- served. Some of those players are making a big mistake, because if they do not make good and are dropped it will be hard for them to get back in the game again. Some of the players who jumped to the California league have regretted their hasty departure. Those leagues may offer players big money for this season. but next sea- son the players are at the mercy of the outlaw managers. They cannot get back into the protected leagues and will have to play for " hatever they are offered or get out of the game. Manager Harrington is playing in hard enough luck just now both in a domestic and baseball way With his wife sick unto death and will perhaps be dead before this paper is printed. several of his team are talking of Jumping. Mccormack, it is said, is going to join Fleischman's mountain league team, which plays only couple of months. Luskey is reported ready to jump to Rochester, but how he is going to do it is a mystery. Then it was said that Henry was to have been released Saturday night, which is big mistake. There are one or two others who are making prepara- tions to jump, and this coupled with the bad weather last week which a1- lowed Waterbury but two games, is enough to drive man to the woods

 Favorable Results Expected.

Favorable Results Expected.
 ROME, June 23.-The reply of Car dinal Rampolla, papal secretary of state, to the presentation by William H. Taft, civil governor of the Philip pine Islands, to the Vatican of his in- structions from Secretary of War Root has been received by Governor Taft. 1t has been translated into English, and after due consideration of the car dinal's answer Judge Taft does not deem it proper to permit it's publica- ton at the present stage of the proceed ings because he fears so doing might embarrass the negotiations.
 Cardinal Rampolla has submitted q copy of his reply to Judge Taft to the committee of cardinals which was formed to consider the matter of the religious orders and other church af- fairs ill the Philippines in order to in- form them of the precise scope of the questions involved and upon which it is hoped that definite results will short ly be arrived at.
 It cannot be said that any conclusion has as yet been reached, but the gen eral tenor of Cardinal Rampolla's reply gives reason to expect that Governor Taft's negotiations will be entirely sue cesSful.
 Governor Taft will answer Cardinal Rampolla's letter Wednesday, June 20.

 Birmingham, England, June 23.-Fox- hall Keene's American polo team failed to lift the international polo cup Satur- day afternoon.
 In the last game of the series the Americans were beaten by a score of to 1.
 The English team outpIayed the Americans from start to finish.

 Foxhall Geene said to the American correspondent after the game:

 The Americans lone goal was made in the first period, and scored by Larry Waterbury. After that the English men by clever play baked every effort of the Americans to score again, though frequently the Americans by unusually dashing play were within an ace of making goal

RECIPROCITY FAILS.
Beet Sugar Republicans Prevent the
 Promised Aid to Cuba.


 WASHINGTON, June 23.-The ses- sions of the senate during the present week will be devoted to odds and ends of legislation. It was the purpose of the Republican steering committee to make the Cuban reciprocity bill the or der of business after the disposition of the interoceanic canal bill, but the two Republican conferences have rendered it evident that there could be no reef procity legislation this session, so the steering committee has abandoned it's purpose.
 Senators generally predict that the congress will disperse between the list and the 4th of July. The session prob ably will be extended somewhat by the necessity of concluding consideration of the Philippine government bill. as all the appropriation bills could be finally disposed of during the present week The conference between the two houses on the interoceanic canal bill has been arranged, and it is expected that an agreement will be reached dur ing the present week.
 It is possible that the Cuban commit tee will report the reciprocity bill be- fore adjournment, but if it should do so there will be no effort to secure ac- tion on it in view of the we'll known opposition of large part of the senate.
 The friends of the policy of reciproc- ity, however, are quite determined to bring the matter up the next session and repeat what they said ill Fridays conference.-the they will not desist until they accomplish their purpose. Whether in the end they will do this through a bill or through treaty they do not now undertake to say
 It is generally understood about the senate reciprocity treaty with Cuba is well under way. but it is not believed that there will be any effort to ratify it during the present session even if the document should be sent to the senate Senators generally do not count on an extra session immediately in case treaty should be sent in.

Rain Prevented All Games in
 Connecticut League

Waterbury is Still First In Fielding
 and Second In Batting-Waterbur
 Also Leads In tfa, Number of Post
 poned Games-Two Games Only
 Were Played By the Local Club Last
 Week-Some of the Waterbury
 Team Are Threatening to Jump.
 The unplayed games in the Connec. lieut. league, that is the postponed games, promise to become nearly as inn portant a factor in the standing of the clubs as the games that have been played Up to date there are twenty four postponed games, sixteen of which are on the home grounds of the second division clubs. A couple of weeks of line weather would produce a number or double headers to play off these games. and at the pace the second divisionerS are setting now there is no assurance that the first division clubs will be able to win any of them. It is no wild pre- diction to say that the standing may be so shaken up in the next fortnight as to compel the present leaders to fight for place with the tail-enders.
 While the rainy weather has been discouraging the managers may con sole themselves with the recollection that last years record was still worse. At the close of the corresponding week of last season twenty-nine games had been postponed by rain. two Saturdays being included. This season the clubs have suffered the loss of only one Sat urday. There has been an unaccount- able delay in beginning the series of double headers this year. but it is prob able they will be played off rapidly from henceforth. Waterbury has been the greatest loser by the postpone ments, five having been prevented. Meriden and Hartford have each four games due, Springfield, Norwich and New London each three, New Haven and Bridgeport each one. Hartford owes five abroad, New Haven and Nor which each four, Bridgeport three, Springfield, Waterbury and New Lon don each two, and Meriden one.
 In team batting and fielding averages all the teams show a marked improve ment for the week. The net gain for the league in batting being five pofntes and infielding twenty points. The gain in fielding is apportioned among all the teams except Springfield, and even that teams loss is bare point. indi- eating that the desertion of it's players has not been so disastrous as was feared. Norwich made the greatest gain in batting. six points; New Lon don marked up four, Hartford three. and Bridgeport two points. New Ha ven lost eight points, Springfield and Meriden a point each. New Haven made up for it's loss in batting by add ing six. points to it's fielding average; Meriden added five, Bridgeport three. Waterbury, New London and Hartford two each, and Norwich one point. The averages are as follows:

Civil Service In the Philippines.


 WASHINGTON, June 23.-Hon. W. Leon Pepperman, member of the Phil ippine civil service commission, is ill the city, having just arrived on leave of absence from Manila. MT. Pepperman said: ssThe scope of the commission has been extended gradually until it now covers 5000 positions, ranging in sal ary from $15 per month to $7,500 per per year, MT. Pepperman says that the immediate reward to successful ap- plicants has caused a change in the old classical system of education under the Spanish regime to one of more modern character based largely on practical business lines. So great is the interest of the Fil:pinos in acquiring a knowl- edge of English that 10000 adults are going to night school in Manila
