 The Jersey City-Buffalo game at Jersey City yesterday was. stopped by rain in the fifth inning, neither club having scored.
 There will be a meeting of the Great CT Waterbury Amateur league tonight at o'clock at the Sunshine Athletic club rooms, corner of Bank and Jack son streets.
 Jerry Denny Is bacg again with Norwich trying to give that team helping hand. Poor Norwich, there are a number of other "hasbeens' around the state who are looking for work.
 Wolfe and Cassidy, deserters from the Lowell base ball team, were ar rested at Whitinsville after the game there Saturday, charged with the lar ceny of uniforms and sweaters belong ing to the club.
 There will be an important meeting of the City league this evening at the rooms of the St Joseph's society. Ev- cry manager is expected to be present as there are some interesting matters to come before the session.
 The Brooklyn club officials may take some action to-day. regarding Kelley and McGinnity, the players who figur- ed in the Baltimore deal, and who, the Brooklyn people say, belong to them and cannot go elsewhere without their consent
 Lindemann is being talked of as possibility with New York. They have worse pitchers in that team than Lin demann. He is a good sticker and backed up by good team he can pitch winning ball. He is young yet and coached by good people he should make valuable man.
 Currie, the diminutive pitcher who has been with the Cincinnatis all sea- son, was signed by Manager Donovan for St Louis yesterday. Moloney, the catcher recently released by the St Louis American League team, signed for the rest of the season with the Cin- cinnati reds, his contract also holding for 1903
 Fred Doe manager of the Dovers, wants to get into Haverhill with an American league polo club next sea son, but he won't be there if Parsons can keep him out. If Haverhill is in the league, the management will be di- rectly or indirectly in the hands of the Smooth One, so we've heard. Lowell Mail.
 Just now the interesting and sensa- tiOnal fight is the one between the New Haven Register writer and the writer for the Bridgeport Post. They have got as far as calling each other hogs and no one knows where they will end unless Shamrock of the Springfield News steps in and acts as referee and lambastes both of them.
 Norwich is the town that was talk ing of dropping Waterbury and Meri- den from the league and now that the team is down in the race it is drawing just about enough to pay the umpires. Even Waterbury with all the bad playing and standing atsthe foot of the. ladder is drawing bigger crowds and Meriden is away ahead of the would-be leaders. The Norwich fans are quit ters and that fact is now plainly evil dent. New London can afford to smile at the discontinue of the Cham pions."
 Harry Howell, the Baltimore pitcher was at the Brooklyn game yesterday. Asked if he was going to sign here he replied: "No; have just been up to visit my folks and am on my way back will play in Baltimore while I have contract with them there The events in Baltimore last week have. only served to stir up interest there. Every body is talking about the game now and there is an increased attend ance. We drew the biggest crowd last Friday that has seen Friday game in long time.'
 So Sid Challenger of the Bridgeport. Post is going to act as supervisor of umpires. Sid is a pretty good fellow but we fail to see where any change. has been made from Secretary. O'Rourke to the redoubtable 'Ess W See" The latter does all the secre-3 tary's work in preparing the official records of the league and there is not much doubt but what the genial James will still have his little say in the se- lection of umpires. We failed to dis cover where MT Challenger made any unfavorable comment on the umpiring of Dan Pfeninger in Saturdays game ana yet the people Ill BrlQgeporLI say he robbed Waterbury.
 Fitzpatrick, of Waterbury, who was removed from the game Saturday, went into the dressing room afterward. and asaulted Umpire Dan Pfeninger. Fitz gave Dam bunt with his head that almost crushed the meek umpire's nose flat. Manager O'Rourlxe stopped any further trouble by taking Fitz by the throat and throwing him out of the room so quickly that the pugilistic Waterbury captain didn't know what struck him. - Bridgeport Telegram. Who would have thought that the kind, gentle and genial James could have been so rude? We have claimed before that Pfeninger was pet of the secretary's. Couldn't he fight his own battles, he is as big as Fitzpatrick. Poor Pfeninger, he is to be pitied. Daniel F. Driscoll has been reporting | the games. fox the Norwich Bulletin, travelling with the team around the circuit. Since the team started on it's l losing streak, MT Driscoll has either thrown up the job or been recalled to other service. This may be taken as showing the attituda of tha Bulletin,
