 Shortstop Murphy has not improved any since he was with Waterbury and in all probability he will be replaced by Cronan who has been released by Manager Harrington to Manager Con nor. Cronan has the making of player and perhaps the warm weather will tnaw out the kinks.

 Kid Mccormack made great re- cord ill the game with Hoboken yester- day. He playing third base for the Hoboken team against the Cuban X Giants and there were only two hits made off the Cubans pitcher. Those two hits were made by Mccormack.

 l' Weisbecker, Henry and Robinson failed to land safely on the ball Satur- day and perhaps that outfield will be changed around a bit Outfielders in tlIis league are usually signed to hit the ball and there is not one of those three but what can hit if he gets a move on. A brace all around is what is wanted from now on and Manager Harrington says he must have it or off go some heads.
 Meriden will be here tomorrow and she will be received kindly and treated cruelty. It would never do for Water bury to allow Meriden to defeat her for the first time this season on her own grounds and we are very much of the opinion that Manager Miller will carry back defeat to Meriden. At any rate we will be right with him from the start.
 Everybody is pleased that the differ ferences between Manager Harrington and Captain Fitzpatrick are settled and that from now on there will be harmony in the team and we will have base ball as it should be played. Let us retrieve our record of last week by winning all our games this week. A team that is batting second and field l ing second in the league should not be down at the foot.
 Ban Johnson has admitted defeat in the fight to retain Lajoie, Bernhard and Fraser. These players will return to the Philadelphia National league club, and it is now only a question of terms under which they play before the final announcement will be made ill the east The American league presi- dent said: 'srrhe American league was willing to fight the battles of these men, but they were not ready to take any chances with the courts. All we can do is let them go. They would not help us nor help themselves. That is the end of the Philadelphia deal.o
