 Manager Reisling has released Prick, second baseman; HebDie, third base man, and Duff, pitcher. Thurston has been signed for third base and Mylett for shortstop. Wilhelm will be played at second base. The reason for Mccall listers absence from the game is that he has been very sick.

 Morrissey, the Norwich umpire, has. resigned. and still the league lives. Morrissey's resignation is one thing to be thankful for.

Rority of Hartford succeeds Morrissey as umpire.-New London Day.
 Now that it has gone abroad that Terry Rogers is dissatisfied and served notice that he will quit the Bridgeport team, nearly every manager in the league is on the alert to land him. That alone shows Terry's worth. In other cities they realize that he is one of the best in the league Bridgeport Farmer. Right you are, and the people who are knocking him down there should be put off the grounds. Says Arlie Latham: Many a time I've heard the song, Last year was bad one, MT Latham. Our team cost us SllO,OOO, and we only took in $72,- OOO,' but the business was good enough A | made S192. 900 at St Louis, and the only thing he has left is his nose. I think | the old national game will outliveus all. It has been so good I haven't had to make shoes since I was IT years old.". It isn't generally known that Tom Tucker, the old Boston first baseman. once challenged McGraw to a duel It happened in St Louis and was the result of bad blood between the two men. Tucker proposed that the men take three balls apiece and, at a range of ten yards, throw at each other. Tucker said he'd win because he pro- posed catching AIcGraw's three and then killing McGraw with the six l Exchange.
 l The local fans will have a chance to size up the strong combination from Norwich tomorrow and it is expected that the locals will win We base l those expectations on the fact that last season Norwich always found Water bury stumbling block in this city Jack Tighe often said he could not un- derstand why Norwich get cold feet when the team came to Waterbury. At any rate we will give this crowd of good players a warm reception.
 Slightly disgrunt1ed at having been taken to task for still speaking of the Connecticut baseball league as the "State" league, the Hartford Post says: That's a hair splitter, but may we arise to ask what a Massachu- setts club is doing in a Connecticut league?' Certainly. Springfield at present is engaged in knocking Is
 kinds of nutmegs out of all the other
 teams, and Hartford has been the
 easiest meat of the lot.-Springfield
