 It was whispered around rne dia- mond yesterday that Pitcher klobe- danz had jumped the Lawrence team and gone to St John, N. B., to play ball with the Canadians. If this is true, the Manchester batsnden will lose a great chance to fatten their av- erages this season .-Manchester Mir TOT.

 If anyone wants a capable young woman to pitch winning baseball for his team, let him apply to Miss M. B. Phelan of No 6s16 Vincennes road, Chicago. She's a natural baseball player, and says she's willing to sign with a good team and either travel or n hnr 0f fu Phe1an says: Nearly every day my brother and play catch, and, although he is boy and a girl, I can throw a ball farther, harder and higher than he can- Throwing is simply natural for me. The greatest distance I ever threw ball was 184 feet, and I know could do better. I want to sign with some good team and am willing to travel or to play at home"
 The Connecticut league management should send Umpire Fricken to preside over every Holyoke game. There is only one way to dea1 with lawJbreak- CTS, in base ball as in other things, with firm hand.-Bridgepo Post. Non sense. No team in the league should be punished for refusing to play after protesting an umpire. Ho1yoke, to the surprise of even Jim O'Rourke, is prov ing the life of the league and should not Joe given a slap in the face. The umpires' pay and the system of ap- pointing them are just as faulty as they were in every other season. There is scarcely a team in bhe league that would not have refused to play under the circumstances. The best little league in this country has always been injured by the umpire system.
 Again Roger Conor distinguished himself by making an almost impossi- ble play, and not only cutting off hit, but a run as well. This came in the third. Tom Ramon was sitting on third, having reached there on Berry $ and Rogers errors and an out. Hard esty was at the bat and he drove the ball toward right field on a straight line. In its journey it had to pass by tlrst base, but 1t was not tagged to stop. Roger, however, saw danger ahead and he Jagged the fast moving ball. He 1 Jumped toward first base, partly swung around, and put out his left hand. l When those large strong fingers (did you ever shake hands with Roger0 closed around the ball it was all off. and the ball knew very well that if would not see right field on that trip. 1 The runner was out and New London 1 had not scored. But Rogers brilliant stop was not the only feature of the | game. Mickey Delaney played a re- markaIble game, and one of his stops was fully as sensational as that made by Roger. His great play came in the seventh and the ball was also marked for right field with no stop-overs. The ball was travelling on the ground in record time. and how Mickey ever man. aged to pick it up on the run was a mystery to those who saw the play He was going so fast that he turned ] completely around before he could throw the ball and then he cut the run ner off at first by 8 hair. This was only one in many excellent plays made bv Mickey. for he accepted eleven out of twelve chances and played the base as it should be played. His one error came on wide throw to Roger after he had run '1p and got under bunt.- Springfield Union.
