Waterbury Democrat., 1902-06-30


 Saturday at WiIlimantic, had to pue them over straight and ill consequence lost by the score of F to s.
 Norwich and New London fans have stopped betting on the games between their clubs. and are now placing wagers on whether Tansey of Spring brighter hued hair.
 All prospective buyers of the Water bury base ball franchise can step up to the managers desk and state their figures after to-day. It is a good pay ing investment, for Waterbury is better fixed financially than any team in this league except Springfield. Another thing, the Fourth of July games will pay back a big share of what is paid for the team.
 It wouldn't be bad idea to call a meeting of the Waterbury baseball cranks and let them nominate man. ager for a baseball team whom they would be willing to support with some show of enthusiasm. Roger Connor couldn't please them even with a champion team and George Harring- ton hasn't been getting the support he deserves.-New Haven Register.
 It is said that there have been two or three emissaries. from major leagues touring this circuit during the past two weeks in search of players. An agent from the Western associa- tion (the outlaw league) was in New Haven during the past week, so the Register has been informed, but de- parted without making any offer to the players so far as can be learned.
 In all probability Charley Luskey will be given his release this week, if he has not already received it. Man. ager Harrington did not want to release him while he was injured, but Luskey asked for his release since the injury and, it is said, would take it at any time Iuskey has not been doing so well of late and he claims that Water bury is an unlucky city for him and that if he could get away he would make good somewhere else.
 Louis Weisbecker, for three years the left fielder on the Waterbury team, has been released. His work, while it has not been bad, has not been up to the handle for some time and Manager Harrington decided to let him go Sat
 
 out of job for any length of time, for he is better than many of the fielders in this league to-day. If his leg were good work. He may go to Meriden.
 Frank Fitzpatrick and Tom Tucker almost came to blows i'll the eighth in ming, when Durnbaugh went in to pitch. He started to warm up and Fitzpatrick objected and grabbed Tuck CTS arm as he was going to throw the ball ack to Durnbaugh. Tucker turned immediately and showed Fitzpatrick off the bag. The Waterbury captain came back at the Meriden captain and sey- eral spectators near the first base line shouted for the local man to do him up. One of the coachers went between the two and the umpire gave them a warn ing and the trouble was over for the time. It is pretty evident that Tucker is looking for trouble and some day he will get it, and get it good.
 Beaumont, Bridgeport's star catcher and outfelder, has jumped the team and joined an Independent team at a salary of $225 q month. His going was sSfRFaing M o4 f9r nBB BA sft as }Aa RfrFidYgn@4Ht @ able to play. Donnelly, an amateur, caught in the game Saturday and did well. Manager O'Rourke says he will prevent Beaumont from ever playing professional ball again. The only thing Beaumont is to blame for is the way in which he left the club as to catchers. He should nave waited until Manager O'Rourke was better He is not to blame for getting all the money he can and if he is to get S225 q month it is big raise and was not to be over looked.
 After the game last Saturday, their season being over, the members of the Harvard and Yale base ball teams elected captains for next year. The new Harvard captain is Walter Clark son. the crack pitcher. whose work in the box had much to do with Harvard'S 'S successful season on the diamond Clarkson is a brother of the noted pro fessional pitchers, John and Arthur. and lives in Boston. The Yale men chose Burnside Winslow of Philadel- phia for their next captain. Winslow Is catcher and a good one running Green of Princeton q close race for the right to be called the best catcher among the eastern colleges He is of the class of '04. Clarkson is the best pitcher Harvard has had slnce Jack time, and Winslow the best catcher Yale has had since Jack Green ways day.
 The Edgewoods Saturday at Rock vile defeated the Rockville team in a very close and exciting game which was not won until the last man was out. O'Brien of the New Haven team pitched q fine game for Edge woods, allowing the heavy hitting Rockvilles but six scattered hits: and was especially steady at critical stages of the game. Parsons and Cameron contributed largely to the teams vic- tory. Captain Bronson cracked out two line drives which were both time ly. Manager Cameron says that the team is ready to play any team in the state for a side wager, and that the Willimantics need not look for a state league team to meet them. The Edge woods V Y play them either in Hart ford or vfden and post q forfeit. The Edge Sods play the Waterbury Consolidate team in Waterbury on July A. and he Branford team at the Savin Rock grounds July 5.
