 Hartford will get a good catcher in Harry Connolly, who has been with Worcester. Harry is ball player from the ground up and the only req son he will 90 from Worcester is be- cause that team is already supplied with mitt mem ill Pat McCauley and Morril Steelman.
 Young Roper, the Cambridge boy who has been working with Worcester is expected to make a good infelder for Harrington's strikers in Holyoke. The boy is heralded as a grand ball player if he can overcome the idea that every one of the spectators expects him to make an error on each ball he han dles.
 Rob Cartmill, who was tried out as a pitcher by Roger Connor is badly in need of some of the material which goes to make, up the Sahara desert. Cartmill ought to make good in the Connecticut league, but he lacks confi- dence in himself. He was in the box for Monson during part of Saturdays s game in that town.

 Catcher Charles Farrellsof the Bos- ton Americans broke a small bone in his left foot just above the ankle joint in an attempt to slide to second base in the second inning of yesterday's s game. He will have to use crutches for several weeks, and his attending physician said he would be incapaci- tated for at least a month. Criger, the only other catcher, Boston has, al- though in bad shape. played yesterday for the first time in three weeks.
 A report is gaining credence among Yale undergraduates, questioning the eligibility of Walter Clarkson, captain of the Harvard baseball team, The story is that he played on the Newtown club of Cambridge against the Maiden professional team for cash prize of ST5 on or about May 25. 1899. The oc- casion was the 250th anniversary of the founding of the town of Maiden. The Yale authorities believe there is little or nothing in the report, and feel sure that the Harvard athletic advisers would have looked into the matter be- for now, had there been any ground for doing so. 1t was further learned yesterday that member of tlle visit ing Tufts team, which played Yale q few weeks ago, said that the Tufts baseball management had evidence that Clarkson is professional.
 The City Amateur baseball league will hold the regular meeting as sched- uled this evening at the rooms of the | St Joseph Society. The league does not intend to go out of existence, but will continue during the season and will play on Saturdays and holidays | as told before. It is possible that the league may be increased to eight clubs taking in two of the teams in the younger league. In this connection il might be well to state that the City Amateur league, the recognized lead ing league in the city, has not yet be gun the season. 1t was the intention 1 to do so next Sunday, but after last Sundays disturbances the president called all the Sunday games off This I was not done because of action taker | by the ministers association nor at the
 advice of any police official or pros ecuting attorney. The report was sen
 out on Sunday evening to each of the { managers and whether any protest wa.
 made or not there would be no Sunday | games in the City league.
