Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-04-22

could be seen. and the diamond was in the worst of shape. The manager says he will soon rectify this and that he will have the field entirely rearranged before the opening of the regular sea son. If he does not, he may as well do the fubber-leg act to Waterbury. An honest man would really hesitate to call Mondays exhibition a base ball game It was not worthy of the name even when it taken into consldefa- ton that the home team has not the advantage of several games as had the visiting aggregation. Nashua, as | whole, played good ball. Holyoke did not put up anything to indicate ma- | terial for fast team, most of its ef- 1 forts being confined to an exhibition of how the game can be misplaVeu. | There were, according to Manager Har- rington, 1900 people who paid admis- sion and the attendance was estimated | in all as about 1,50O.
 | Manager Loftus of the Washington base ball club has released Pitcher Clarke and signed Pitcher H. 0. WH- son. formerly of the Philadelphia American league team.
 President Ban Johnson of the Amer l ican league called at National league headuuarters yesterday and left there | a check for $4,OO0 for President Pull l liam to satisfy the claim which the New York National league club had on Edward Delehanty. MT Johnson said last night: ''Delehanty is now free and clear to fulfill his contract with the Washington club and he will play on ! the Washington team during the entire season.
 l George Mulligan was on first, and when he gains confidence, should have ] no great trouble in holding down the position. He is a big fellow, with l long reach, and looks the part. He had. an opportunity to show what he could do with batted balls which came in his direction and he picked them up l in the latest fashion. He had more difficulty. however, in holding the ball when it came to him on the bound from I the other infielders, and also dropped an, easy fly, but caught the runner at l first. nevertheless. In batting he dld l his share and made one hit in four 1 times up. Henebry, who is filling the I opposite bag in place of Tommy Fran cis, is another strapping big fellow. He ItrieS for everything and gives promise 1 of being better at covering the bag l than did Francis. Tn batting he surely | will do better than the eX-third base-
 man. He made one clean hit in four times up and should have been credited l with another, but Waffle Woods was playing short right field and threw Henebry out at first by small margin. ISpringfield Union.
