Waterbury Democrat., 1902-04-29

usual thing for tha tplayer.
 l Desperate chances were taken in these last two innings by the locals and Henry's stealing of each base, even the home one was pretty sharp work. Any man who got on a base stole the next one and it was great fight for victory.
 i Manager Roger Connor has decided to suspend Pitcher F. $. G. Mclean. Eddie Burke, the old National Ieaguer Kid Berry and Homer Mock All of them signed contracts with Spring field, and Berry and Burke received advance money. Mock is playing with Toledo.
 If Ned Slater gets away with the whole season on the salary he is now receiving he will be hypnotist. Here is case of playing on reputation for sure. He is an oyerrated. player and the fans now realize that Roger Con- nor was a pretty good man on the first bag.
 Waterbury needs few stickers who l can hit the bali at the proper time and not fall dead when the occasion requires a hit. Manager Harrington ' said after the game was over that he would have hitters and last night he had wires going for other players in some of the positions.
 Manager Connor is going to give 1 George Courtney a trial at short. The | Springfield team is i'll good shape ex- cept i'll that one position and Court ney may be able to fill the gap. He was at one time as fast as any in J the business in the short field, but | last season played a pretty good game ill Waterbury's center garden
 The fans need not be surprised to see two new faces on the local team before the season opens on Saturday. If money can get them Manager Har- rington says he will have them. Lin demann will be here to take Drohn's place too, and with Prentiss that will make pitching staff good enough for any team. The two new men will be good ones if they can be bought. Manager McGraw of the Baltimore American league club yesterday re- ceived a telegram from Outfielder James T. Sheckard, dated Philadel- phia, saying that he had made up his mind to return to the Brooklyn Ma | tional league club. The officials of the Baltimore club will take legal ac- | tion to recover the advance money paid to Sheckard, the expenses of training in the south. and whatever other damages possible.

 Drohn has probably pitched his last game for Waterbury and it is just as well after such an exhibition as that of yesterday. 1t was a peculiar exhi- bition too. If he was not trying to pitch then he should be released for that reason and if he was trying to pitch and that was the best he could do, there is another reason why he should go. If he was in no condition to pitch he should have been taken out and given the spectators a run for their money.
 As pretty good evidence that George Prentiss will have to come to this city this season, Manager Harrington re ceiyed telegram last night from Man. ager Barrows of Toronto, which read about like this: s'What is your very lowest price for pitcher Prentiss?' ?'' That is the first intimation that the local management has had that Bos- ton will not keep him. Manager Har- rington will not sell to Manager Bar rows and therefore Prentiss will have to play in Waterbury or go to the coast.

Wallace and Harper, whom President Robison of the St Louis National league club seeks to restrain from playing with the St Louis Amer ican league club, were allowed to participate in the game yesterday af- ternoon.

 The owners of the Rochester team of the Eastern league last night an nounced that they will make applica- tion for an injunction to restrain Shortstop Bean from playing with the New York club Before the New York club officials signed Bean yester- day he said that he was not under contract to the Rochesters, and that the only chance he was taking in playing with the Giants was that in the event of his not making good he would have to pay $1,00O before he could return to the Eastern league, this being the penalty the National 1 Association of Professional Baseball Leagues announced would be imposed | on players who left that organization.
 A funny thing happened in the last I inning after the last man was out. The local scorers had left the stand be- 1 lieying that the game was oyer as the score stood then twelve to eleven in favor of New Haven. The Yale scorer however called for another in ming as he claimed the score was eleven to eleven. This was satisfac- tory to the local players although they i knew fhnv 1yalsa haotnn Mana crnY.
