 The following Is the schedule Of games in the Brass City league to- morrow morning: Eagles vs Pequots at the Driving park; South End Ath- letic club vs Second Wards at Long Hill.
 New London can, of course, With draw from the league if it so desires, but that would be a trif1e expensive. Bonds in $500 have been given to nnlsn the season and Messrs Linicus. Shea and Gledhill are responsible for that amount.-New London Day.
 Down in Willimantic they have a team of local players that are better, individually or collectively, than three quarters of the Connecticut leaguers. The Thread city admirers of the game think so well of them that their money goes on their team in a series With any of the Connecticut Ieaguers.-Hartford Post With a neutral umpire Wllll- mantle wouldn't be 1-2-11 with any team in the Connecticut Shop league, even.-New Haven Register We have several teams here in the City league that will take care of Willimantic later.
 New London directors seen to-day announced themselves in support or the refusal of Manager Shea to pay the fine. They will adopt this course in formal meeting to be held probably this evening. The game with Meriden will be played tomorrow. That will close the business of the Connecticut league for this season according to the present temperament. Games with in- dependent clubs will then be arranged for. The loss of New London will be e.J Al, of nt New London has until Monda to pay or get out. New London will get out. New London Globe.
 It is pretty tough to have Springfield designated as team of rowdieS and to class Roger and Joe Connor in with Ed Connors Roger Connor never was a rowdy on the ball field and even his indiscretion of Thursday should not be construed as rowdy ball playing. There is no man in the world who would not stand up for his own flesh and blood, if we may use that expression i'll this case. Roger Connor did what any man with any manliness or spunk would have done under the same conditions. The record of Roger Connor as a play CT. as a gentleman and as man is not surpassed by any player in this league, and in comparison with the record or Tom Tucker it overshadows it in the same proportion that tie sun outshines tallow candle.
 This is the way a New London base ball enthusiast sensed the situation thls morning: Now is the time for putting MT O'Rourke out of business. Nor- wich, Meriden, Bristol and New Lon don could form league that would De q credit to this state. MT "Has Been O'Rourke's Antique and Horrible" az oregation has made this league the laughing stock of all the other leagues. It seems strange that ORourke has been allowed to dictate so long. Rlse LID. brothers, and put the old octopus To sleep. The time has passed when we will sit quietly and allow ORourkes umpires to rob us of ball games. 1T Pfeninger had been allowed to umpire here last Monday it's dollars to dough nuts if he'd been able to leave his ped for a month. MT O'Rourke's base pail trust is liable to get an awful bump in inc near future.''-New London Globe
 The Pittsburgs made a triple play, the first in the National league this sea- son. and the triple action performance was a severe squelcher to the New Works. It was made in the ninth 1n- ming. Wagner having made a wild wierd throw of Beans grounder and Clarke having dropped Smiths fly through misunderstanding between Clarke and Wagner, there was man on. second and one on first for New York with nobody out. Doyle was at bat and apparently was trying to place the ball. sent a low, short fly toward right Ritchey took the ball close to the ground while running toward first base, and it was easy for him to run on to first and touch that bag before Smith could return. Instead of hold ing second base when Ritchey made the catch Bean tore for third. He seemed to be under the impression that the ball had been trapped There were some waving of arms and shout ing of directions, and then Ritchey tossed the ball to Wagner at second and Bean was out.
