BASE BALL NEWS.
Waterbury Defeated in a Very
 Bad Game.

Tale Players Hammer Pitcher Drohn
 Without AIercy-The Locals Almost
 Pulled the Game Out of the Fire in
 the Last Inning-Results of Other
 Games in This League-Interesting
 Ball News From All Leagues.
 A very ragged but exciting game of base ball took place yesterday after noon on the Athletic field when Wa tefbury was beaten by the score of twelve to eleven by the Yale team. The defeat of the locals can be traced to just two causes, the miserable eX- hibition given by Drohn in the box and the poor stick work of some of our alleged heavy hitters. Yale brought up lively lot of ball players, among them being several who are competent to play on the varsity team, but who are not allowed that privilege because of professionalism. They hammered Drohn until they were tired and ran bases like fleet footed deers. 1t was a batting matinee for the boys from old Yale and even the spectators took q good share of pleasure in it although the home team was the sufferer.
 In the very first inning the lombard ment started and Drohn was given his bumps for fair. He started off by hit ting Chittenden, the first man up. and then Shay and Welton hammered out singles. A tall, well proportioned, good looking chap stepped to the bat next and his name was Rumsey. He caught one of Drohn's easy ones on the end of the bat and it sailed away for Weisbeckers territory. The little Dutchman saw it coming and he raced for the track at full speed to head the ball off. Straight as an arrow went the sphere and it would certainly have crossed the track had it not swerved in it's course. It struck one of the posts at the edge of the track, bounded back into the field and before Weis- becker could reach it Rumsey had crossedthe. plate with home run and there were two runs to the credit of the visitors. Chittenden who had been hit and Shaw who had made single had been retired previous to this on two attempts to steal. In the third in- ming they went after Drohn again and bases on balls and a number of hits they succeeded in getting three more runs. Two came the next inning and four in the fifth. Their last run was made in the seventh.
 Waterbury did not do much until the third when q coupleof hits and bad pitching netted her three runs. In the eighth came four runs on three bases on balls, an error, good base running and q couple of hits. The ninth saw lots of excitement for the pitcher of the visiting team became rattled and the locals stole bases as fast as they could find them. They piled up four runs and then failure to hit the ball left them at the post defeated. The score and summary:

vANDERB1LTs NEW AUTO.

New Haven, April %. Reginald C. Vanderbilt, a Yale senior, got his 15- horse power racing automobile here to-day. Mason Crocker, the chauf- feur, said about the run from New York to this city:
 We made the trip in three hours including q couple of stops The auto was i'll fit shape to cover the dis tance without a halt. It is just out of the shop and we didn't know how it would act but it worked like a charm"
 The machine is capable of 50 miles an hour, has seats for two in front and the seats in the rear can be ad- justed for two or six. The motive power is gasolene. The gasolene tank can hold twelve gallons, q 150- mile supply. if the machine is not at it's highest speed.

behalf of Sheckard that when he went to Baltimore he was convinced by the Baltimore club that his last years Baltimore contract was legal and that he told the Baltimore people if he learned to the contrary he would go back to Brooklyn. His friends at his home in Columbia. Pa, it is said, told him he really belonged to Brook lyn and then he decided to await the outcome of the Lajoie case and act ac- cordingly.
 Lajoie, Bernhard and Fraser. ac- companied by Manager Connie Mack, left Philadelphia for Washington on an evening train yesterday. Just what they will do pending the lifetime of their contract with the Philadel- phia club is unknown. If they re turn to the Philadelphia club they will have to work for the same salary that they received with that club during the season of 1900 There has been some talk of making Laioie an umpire and similar berths might be obtained for Bernhard and Fraser President Ban Johnson has called a special meeting of the American league to be held at Cleveland on Wednesday at which a plan of cam paign will be agreed upon. If the Washington players, Delehanty, Orth, Townsend and Wolverton, who desert- ed the Phillies last season. should come within the jurisdiction ofnthe Pennsylvania courts. they would un- doubtedly be served with notices and after trial they. too, would be en- joined. The same,- of course. ap- plies to Catcher Eddie McFarlard, who is playing with Chicago, and to Pitcher Frank Donohue, who is with St Louis. Under the circumstances these players will be likely to give that state a wide. berth in their swings about the circuit.

nine was up against another team yes terday than the day those players first met this years Hartfords. Trinity won the first contest, but the tables were turned yesterday and the profes- sionals captured the game, z to l. Hartford fell upon Mann in the first inning and belted him good and hard. After the disastrous initial round the little twirler steadied down and did good work thereafter, striking the re- doubtable Reisling out twice. Tuckey performed for Hartford. He showed much precision in locating the plate, and he was equally proficient in plank ing batsmen in various portions of their anatomy. An upper cut caught one Trinity man in the ribs, a straight swing struck another full in the face, and still another player came near going down and out by getting an in. shoot in the small of the back. Mann was also effective in pinking batsmen and two suffered from his temporary wildness. Five bullseyes in one day is pretty near a record for this locality. The score:
 R.H. E. Hartford ...5 o1oo10 *-7 F Trinity .....O 0 o 0 0 Q O-1 6 Batteries -Tuckey and Quinn; Mann and Henderson.

Hartford, April Discussion of the pros and cons of Danbury's bid for the Corbett-McGovern fight goes on in lively fashion among the deyo- tees of sport in this city. Manager ". l.. Crowley of the Nutmeg Athletic club, who was the successful bidder, for the forthcoming contest, has not yet decided where he will pull off the fight. He says he has not seen the mayor of Hartford as yet, because he is very busy at this time, and it would be wiser to wait until he can talk the matter over at length.
 As to the offer of the Danbury sporting men, they say that 10000 people are in Danbury the week of the fair, and they believe that large crowd would turn out at that time to see the fight.

Philadelphia, April 29-Jack O'Brien won q popular verdict over Young Peter Jackson at the Wash ington Sporting club last night. Ii was O'Brien's hardest mill since he has returned from England O'Brien did three-fourths of the leading, but his blows lacked steam. Jackson's blows, though they were probably not more than one-fourth the number of his opponents, had more effect OBrien repeatedly planted his glove in the colored mans face and blood flowed copiously after the second round. O'Brien rather lost his head at times and discarded much of his science. Jack had much the better of Jackson in cleyerness. but his lack of steam undoubtedly prevented his winning decided victory.
