 Pittsburg drew 1S,oOO to three exhi- | bition games on the last trip, 640O in Newark, $500 in Wilmington and 5.100 in Worcester. AS these figures more than doab1ed the average attendance of the games played in the east with league teams, President Dreyfuss is anxious for a few more open dates.
 Derwin, the new centerfielder, whose 0IldDINu bd11 lO score. tllC W1IlIlill5 run in the Thinning game Friday be- came an instant favorite with the fans. | His work Saturday was very satisfac- tory.-Fall River Globe. This is our Billy Derwin who seems to have caught on well up Massachusetts way.
 Manager Roger Connor is going to try another shortstop. His name is Tansey and he comes from Provi- dence Mickey Delaney will go to second base in place of Owens and Ed Connors will either go to the outfield ' or again cover first.

 In yesterdays Chicago-P -Pittsburg game there was a fight between In fielder Tinker of the Chicago team and Shortstop Conroy of the Pittsburg laggregation. The men came together in mix-up at second base in Chi cagos half of the fourth inning. Con roy attempted to block Tinker off the bag.

 The aristocratic nerves of the Spring field fans have been rudely shaken by the Apache style of coaching intro dueed into that city by Michael De- laney and seconded by Joe Connor. Mickey and Joe learned the double turn on the Waterbury back lots and have introduced it with some success in various cities of the league. But the cold blue blood of Massachusetts shivers in the presence of such rude ness and Mickey and Joe have been se- yerely nubbed.-Bridgepor Post. 4 After two men had been retired in. the eighth, Dover scored another run. Joyce hit a ball about foot inside of the first base lines, the sphere striking the ground before it reached first base. Foul ball. yelled the misfit umpire. Doe ran out and shook his fist in Ryan's face, at the same time talking in a manner unfit for publica- tion." Ryan ordered him to the bench but he would not go, and then Ryan ordered a police office to put him off the grounds. The bluecoat told Fred erigo to make himself scarce, and the Count slowly betook himself to the outer world, where there are no um- pires to make one forget home train ing and the rules of politeness. s.-Low- ell Citizen.
 Every little while a bunch of four flushing notoriety mongers in the bor- ough of Bristol make sorne spasmodic l attempt to keep the name of their vil- lage before the base ball public. This is all right as long as the would-be | boomers refrain from dragging the Meriden base ball club into their fake | stories.
 The latest bit of juicy gossip from the settlement is to the effect that the Meriden team managers wished to | transfer the team to that town but that MT Tracy would not have it. No lie waved them away and said nay, nay In this mornings issue of the Courant, Mir Tracy, who runs the village meat market and is something of an arbi- ter in the matter of athletics or what passes for such in that place. is re-. ported as saying that if the owners of the Meriden teeam would offer him $500 in addition to the players, he would not consider it. He had been offered the team he said.
 Manager Miller said to a; Journal re- porter this morning that neither he nor any one else in authority had ever of fered the team to Bristol and they had no intention of doing so. He says the town cannot support any kind of spoft. was never any good and never will be. There are a lot of soreheads there who would like to have the universe run on different plan with Bristol for the center
 Now as to their support Tracy and some of the other promoters(? came to Miller and asked him to play the T A. B's last week. They promised something like a thousand attendance and Mir Tracy said that Bristol wish ed to show the appreciation that the people of the burg felt for T. L. Reiley's efforts to keep Bristol in the lea que.
 Under these promises, MT Miller went to Bristol last Tuesday and for his share of the receipts lie got S15.
 The Meriden base ball team will stay in Meriden and the league go on as ever, Bristol or no Bristol.-Meriden Journal.
