 ! A Worcester Toronto game in 1899 l surpassed for a run-making finish ! yesterdays achievement, but as To-
 ronto was the victor and the game l was played In Worcester there was
 no such show of enthusiasm as was
 brought out yesterday.
 Altizer had many fellow Eagles
 cheering him on. There were, mem
 bers of the order everywhere about the grounds, and those who stayed
 out the second game saw something
 that isn't likely to be equaled any
 where, Springfield union.
 George Henry made eight hits in l ten times at bat, having made two
 the previous day at Hartford. George has the distinction, a seasons league
 record, by the way, of making ten hits
 in two games against his former l mates.
 After touring the west on a scout ing expedition, Manager Hugh Duffy of the Phillies declares that he Is disappointed at the outlook. He
 found only one player that suited
 him, that was Outdelder McChesney I of Des Moines.
 The managers of the Cleveland
 team do not favor the foul strike
 rule Flick, Bemis, Bradley and
 Hickman have suffered all the season
 and the effect can be noticed in bunch of sluggers like this more than
 i'll club of average hitting ability. l ConneIl of New Haven has been
 put out of the game twice this week l for attacking umpires. Yesterday he punched Bob Durnbaugh. The New
 Haven man ought to be brought up with sharp turn and made to suffer something for his methods. Spring l field Union.
 Jack Doyle, who has played. on
 more National league teams than any l OLtlGEs HULL LAuS SDL HIS LSu ddS AON1AS
 from Manager Duffy. His playing has fallen off considerably of late and
 he will probably assume the. manage
 ment of some minor league club. 1 Doyle has been troubled with rheum- ! atism and this is said to be the cause ] of his poor work

 Danaher ever thought of being a magnate.
 W. R. Stephens, the one-armed pitcher of Ellsworth, Ind, has made q
 very enviable record. Two years ago
 he won twenty out of possible twenty-two games Last year he was
 successful in tWenty-twO out of twenty-seven contests, while this sea-
 son he has been equally fortunate.

 his arm as the result of shotgun

 Manager Hanlon of Brooklyn is will. ing to give S5,0OO for Danny Murphy Of the Philadelphia Athletics. Mur- phy was one of the star performers in the Connections league when he was with Norwich. and Connie Mack grabbed him. Hanlon says Murphy is without doubt one Of the best men playing the game to-day. Perhaps Connie Mack doesn't realize this, and then again perhaps he does. At any rate. Danny is fielding and batting in way that is conclusive evidence that he is one Of the best ever. And per- haps 1t would take more than twice 5000 to arrange for the transfer of Murphy from Philadelphia to Brook lyn.
 It can be said on undisputed author ity that Manager McGraw Of the
 New York Nationals has yielded to popular demands and to the desires of the majority of the Giants to play a post season series with the Cham pions of the American league in event of McGraw's aggregation winning the National league pennant this year. When the pennant Is assured, Me Graw will send Pitchers Mathewson and McGinnity to their respective
 homes i'll order that they may rest Up for the post season series. He will
 work these two twirlers only and
 with the acquisition of Donlin, he be-
 lieves that his team will be invincible
 in post season series.

It happened back in the old days when Waterbury was member Of the New England league, If our memory serves | ing team and the old ball grounds near the New England depot was the scene of the affray. Springfield had q lead of ten or eleven runs when Wa 1 terbury went to bat for the last tune.
 Many of the fans had left for home
 disgusted, but they were recalled by
 the wild yells of those who remained.
 The local players had struck q batting 1 streak and before they had finished 1 they had piled up enough runs to win l the game. The cheering could be l heard i'll the center of the city as the
