 Bump us again to-day. We like it.
 HayerhiIl was playing strongly at the finish of last season. A good many people figure that the down. river team released too many of it's former players.
 Umpire Duffy was set upon by mem bers of the Manchester team during the sixth inning of yesterdays game at Concord and was so severely handled that the police had to be called in.
 There was some great hitting in yesterdays Jersey City-Buffalo game In the fourth inning Brain, Law and Milligan of Buffalo each knocked the ball over left field fence for home run. Besides there was three-bagger by Connaughton and two two-baggers by Shaw.
 Tn attempting to slide to third base in the Yale-Princeton freshmen game yesterday afternoon, Cornwall, Yale's right fielder, had a tendon in his leg broken. He was assisted from the field, Ellsworth taking his place. The injury will keep him out of the game for the rest of the season.
 Bill Clements, who pitched here when Hartford first entered the At 1antic league, is one of Springfield's best twirlers now and he appeared on the field once yesterday. He had an argument with Umpire Shannon and was fined s. Bill then returned to the gate.-Hartford Courant-
 The work of strengthening the Ha- yerhill ball team was commenced yes terday when O'Reilly, late of the Wor- cester team in the Eastern league, was signed to play third base, and Rich ardson. crack amateur shortstop of Whitinsville, was signed for lsllortsfop. OBrien, Clark and Wiggin of the team were given their release last night.
 The Springfield Union says that James O'Rourke has been playing for over 20 years. Yes, and for over 30 straight years, starting as shortstop fAr 4ffo acGo 04 1o4~ Conn, member of the National asso- ciation in the spring of 1872. Figure it out, boys. And Sir James had played two years before that. Your uncle James is wonder.-Tim Mur- nane in Boston Globe.
 Roger Connor will celebrate his 24th birthday next month. At least he says he is only g now.-Meriden Journal. That's right, too. He was born to baseball in 1878 and is as lively as youngster today Springfield Union.s Ask Roger when he isn't busy to re- late the details of the landing of Co., 1umbus as seen by him. Its awfully interesting.-Ha Post. They do say that Adam consulted Roger about eating that apple. Bridgeport Post.
 Tim Murnane pays the following fine tribute to old ssSox::'' It was n treat to see the great ball player of Oldtown, Me, walk to the home base and pose with his big club. SoclSa lexis, the Indian, who thrilled the hearts of the baseball fans as member of the Cleveland National league club q few years ago, need not tip his cap to any man playing tt1e American game; marvel of grace, an ideal athlete back in the game, . little the worse for wear, but still with traces of his former self, his position was grand, and when he hit the ball it went like a shot, Sockalexis is la1he just now, but a little warm weather will no doubt bring him around into shape for some good work. Fred Lake did well i'll taking 2 chance for the old warrior was q bird when right.''
