 The City league will really have the | first crack at the new grounds to-niof- row afternoon at the third held day. The diamond has been changed afouna l and the grand stand will now De di- rectly back of the catcher.
 Steve Ashe has asked Secretary l O'Rourke for assignments in certain cities in the league, but has received no response. He does not want to act l in Norwich and Springfield because 1 trips to those cities eat up all the profits.
 Kid Gleason clouted the ball for l home run, two bagger and brace or singles in the game at Washington on Wednesday. On the same day TOUT | other New York discards hammered | the leather for keeps. Warner made two hits. George Davis two, sammy Strang three and Doyle pair. l KIobedanz takes fit every now ana then and pitches good ball, much LOO fast for the New England league. iThe other day he allowed Haverhlll but two hits But Kloby's lazy. lie 4 could easily hold his own in much bet ter company if he would try. He re- fuses to take off weight. A loss of l2O pounds would make him pretty close to a first-rater again. -Brockton Times
 Meriden is playing ball. New Lon don would have a good deal rather have taken that game from some othel l -s T .,1l Srnt days. Meriden and Waterbury are stil tied for last place. We'll bet a good cigar that Meriden pulls out of tht hole first.-New London Globe n Yo1 win. What kind dt you smoke? We hope they are not lik' those the Waterbury players are hit ting just now.
