TABLE OF PERCENTAGES.

The last few weeks there has been much talk in Connecticut league cir cles in regard to Worcester and Provi- dence being represented in that league next season.
 President Linehan of the Haverhill New England league team yesterday refused an offer of $4OO from the Hol- yoke nine for Pitcher McGinley. Mo Ginley has been reserved by HaverhiH for next season.
 The Cleveland team, as result of their trip to Woonsocket on Monday, received over $40o, as their share of the gate receipts, but still they were not satisfied. Manager Armour, Sec retary Bernard and Captain Lajoie put up 8 demand for 60 per cent of the receipts of the two grandstands, but the howl availed them nothing. They made their own terms, which the Gym management declare did not include the grandstand receipts.
 Captain Lajoie says: ''That Boston aggregation will have my money with it when it plays Pittsburg They talk about the Pirates being fast, but just wait until they go up against Lew
 
 the stealing bases. There never was a team that had better pitchers than Boston, and take it all in all, I do not see where you will get better team"
 The Greenfield and New London baseball teams were compelled by the rain to give up their game on the DrivA ing park at Northampton yesterday af- ternoon, when the score was a tie of 5 to 5. The New London team found Hoar's delivery difficult until the sixth, when they began making hits and scored four times in two innings. They would have been defeated, however, had it not been for Ginley's error on third in the seventh. by which they secured run. Keefe made a long throw from right field and got his man on third.
