Delaney IS making good at snort ana Ed Connors will undoubtedly make good at second. Springfield Union. Saturday-New Haven at Norwich, Hartford at New London, Bridgeport at Springfield, Waterbury at Meriden.
 Wade, the little Fall River south paw, who won from Lowell on Tues day, comes from the Connecticut state league. He is no more than 20 years old and probably weighs about 130 pounds. He has good curves, but is disposed to be erratic.-Brockton Times.
 At conference yesterday between Secretary Goldman and Manager Me Graw of the Baltimore baseball club and James Sheckard and Manager Hanlon of the Brooklyn team, the suit against Sheckard was withdrawn. Sheckard left the Baltimore club to play with Brooklyn, after receiving Sl, 900 advance money. The suit was discontinued by Sheckard refunding S916, or all but $S4 of the money. There is a presumptuous baseball nine in Buffalo Bills Wild West show which suggests that it can beat any nine the Boston newspaper men can get together. Chief Willie White horse, of the Sioux, they say, can pitch ball around the corner of a brick block. He is their main reli- ance. The Buffalo Bill nine is com posed mainly of soldiers, and last night they issued a challenge to a Bos- ton newspaper team which is likely to be promptly accepted. Umpire Malones third time on earth seems to have favorably impressed some of the very persons who kicked the hardest against him a season or two back. Malone was always one of the best umpires who ever handled an indicator. He is just as good to-day as he ever was-and not bit better Bridgeport Post His work here the other day was far superior to any he ever did i'll his life. He has been the worst in the business and we hope he will continue to improve.
 Meriden and New Haven certainly are two red-hot, well paying baseball cities Yesterday a tremendous as- semblage of 300 turned out to witness the game in the former city, while a dense mob of POO was packed into the grounds at New Haven. Let it not be forgotten that the Meriden writers were the loudest in declaring that baseball would die in this city this season. What keeps it alive in Meri- den Manager Miller only knows. The attendance there has been something graceful.-Springfiel News.
 The Manchester Union alleges that Fred Doe on the coaching line mega phones somewhat like this:
 It's me. See?
 Fred Doe from Dover
 King of the Do-dos-
 Hearken to my bazoo on
 The coach line
 Pm the real thing
 The limit, as it were, ant
 Don't you think I ain'r.
 If you need any more
 Send for me and mine from
 The rushing Cocheco,
 On the banks of which
 We eat clans, and
 Eat 'em raw at that.
 Watch usI
 How does our pace strike you?
 Hot stuff. eh?
 Dld you hear me down there
 On the line?
 Did you see the glitter of
 My teeth?
 Didn't l make lem go some?
 See em skin along the bases when
 I yelled?
 Of course you did.
 There are no dead ones in
 My outfit, you bet, and
 Don't you think there is,
 B'gosh!
 The New York Telegraph of fo-dav pilnts little sketch of James IF Y aourke, secretary of the Connacti- cut baseball league.

However, here is the sketch as given in tha Tala graph:
