Waterbury will play next Sunday | With New London on some field near New London. It is said that it will be league game.
 Cooke, formerly one of YaIe's pitch CTS and who is now located in this city, will pitch in one of the games against Springfield next week in Springfield. Connie Mack wants Dan Murphy of Norwich for the Philadelphia league team. It is a great compliment to the clever Norwich player to be mentioned as the successor of the great Lajoie. After two seasons of good work at second base and with the stick for Bridgeport, Mike Delaney has been re- leased and Jerry Denny signed for his position. The handwriting has been on the wall since Denny's release by l Norwich and it only awaited a little poor playing by Delaney to have that writing made effective. Delaney is not all ln by any means and he can give cards and spades to several now play ing in this league. Manager OsRourke evidently thought he was some good for he wanted to exchange Delaney for Peter Kiernan. However it does not look as if Mickey would be out of a job very long.
 Frank DeHaas Robison, president of the St Louis National league club, has plcked up the gauntlet thrown down by Dan Johnson of the American league. ana says 1t is war to the death. and one or the two big leagues must go to the wall. sI voice the sentiment of all my base ball partners when say that the National league will not for a sin iCfn 4<.f rom the American 1eague,'' he said. ''The fight may be long one but I don think it will be, as I doubt if the American league is sufficiently well fortified to battle with us much longer Charles Comiskey and Ban Johnson are far apart on the attitude of the Ameri. can toward the National league. and Comlskey has the brains of the former ) organization

 Waterbury has city league as wei as a team in the Connecticut league r. We should think that would be over
 doing it in a small city.-Brockton En l. terprise. Why, bless your heart, W Q. have couple of more leagues dow Ie Ehere,- too. A city approaching tn I60,0O0 mark is not so very small. Wha ?, do you call big city, pray? Smal
 city, indeed!
