 Woodruff and Drew, who were drop ped by Waterbury, are very anxious to play with Norwich, but Manager Davenport cannot use either of them.
 Jerry Denny. who played with Nor wich the last part of last season. was given his release Friday evening by Manager Davenport. Denny wrote asking for his papers, stating that he wanted to play nearer home, either with Bridgeport or New Haven, so that he could be home nights to look after his business. Norwich has no use for Denny this season and his re- lease was easily. secured.

 What sort of luck has Manager liar rlnston had in his hunt for players? lie had good gun with him, but his powder might not have been strong enough to bring down the sort of game the cranks want. Money is what in- duces good ball players to come into this league. If Mir Harrington will hunt with fat roll of bills he will find men willing to join his team and Wa terbury will be among the leaders all season.--Sunday Herald. Manager Harrington has his team signed and Ee will pay higher salaries than will Man. ager James of Bridgeport The genial secretary is the man who will have to go down in his jeans this season. Old war horses are getting tiresome.
 A little computation upon the matter or umplres' salaries for this circuit shows that these officials will net at least S22 per week for their work, and II they are fortunate in getting assign ments they will do even better than this. Assuming that each umpire would get an equal share of the fifty six games each club is scheduled for at home, the most eXtravagant estimate of the travelling expenses would be Sl7O for the season. For four months and half their salaries will amount to SoSo per man. leaving S415 net As the schedule will not be completely played out owing to rainy days, the umpires will profit in a saving of trav- cling expenses.
 | The Boston players played a game of indoor baseball Friday night at | the Augusta, Georgia, armory with | Sacred Heart Cadets. Dineen, Free man, Prentiss, Dougherty and Hus- l tingS formed the Boston team. The home team scored four runs in it's | half of the first inning, and the Bos- | tons had made six runs. with two out and two on bases, with Prentiss at the bat, when he let the bat slip out of his hands in the attempt to hit the
 ball. The bat flew with great inn petus and hit Miss Ruth Randall, who was sitting on a settee near the bats
 man. and knocked her senseless. Miss
 Randall is the daughter of James R.
 Randall, private secretary of Con gressman Fleming, and author of
 Maryland, My Maryland" It was found that she had sustained severe wound near the nose, and two teeth were broken. The unfortunate oc- renee broke up the game.
 There is q disposition among some of the directors to assume that the mat ter of disputed players has been set tied, and that there will not, therefore be any further argument on that line Others, especially those who are not quite satisfied with the way the mat ters have been shaped, insist that there | is still chance to carry their point and will make . fight for it. The re port on the constitution and bylaws is certainly expected, and the election oi I directors of the league is expected tc be made after the report is adopted Nothing was said about a long term agreement at the last meeting, and il is probable that little will be heard oi 1t before the close of the season, if al all. Hartford, it is understood, is m | willing to be bound for q term, hoping to withdraw and enter a higher class circuit in a year or two. As Hartford is now Connecticut league territory, i
 is not quite clear how such q transfer
 can be effected-certainly not withou the Connecticut leagues consent.-Nev Haven Register.
