New London here tomorrow.
 The Greater Waterbury Amateur Base Ball league will hold a meeting this evening at s o'clock at the Merri- mac club rooms.
 The American league is providing one of the prettiest races in the his tory of the game. Three teams are tied for the lead and two are within easy striking distance.
 Shortstop Dahlen received notice yes terday from John T. Brush, chairman of the National league executive com mittee, that he must take three days suspension for his action on Sunday in abusing Umpire Powers.
 The Whalers will come here to-mor- row with several victories gained in their last meetings with the teams and they will expect to take a game from Waterbury, but we are very much afraid they will be mistaken. Water bury has come to life again and she will just about take a fall out of New London tomorrow.

Christy AIathewson, the Bucknell col 1ege man. has not been pitching up tc his last years form and may adorn tht bench Manager Fogel said yesterday morning: sMatty has not pitched 1T to his last years form, and it is true that I am not altogether satisfied witl his work toe date. I believe he want. to win every game he pitches. It sim ply amounts to this: We have fiy' lpitehers and will use four regularly
 keeping one for bench duty, and tn
 one doing the poorest work will be as
 signed to that benching, and if tn
 other four do better pitching than Mat
 ty he will go to the bench, regardless z of his reputation made last year
 Mathewson and Manager Fogel had
 rather heated argument yesterda.
 morning over the latter's pitching J Fogel reiterated his threat to bencl
 Matty unless he shows improved forn T in his pitching. That's all wrong, an, I don't want to be charged with indif . ference,.' said Matty. ssI would soene
 be benched. I'll tell you what you do.
 s.WhatY asked Fogel. "Give me m
 release" Fogel would not listen [
 any such proposition, but said that Il
 wanted better work from the Ney
 York premier pitcher.
