in as many days. His attacks on the leather are more vicious now than at any time this season.
 Umpire Durnbaugh should be SUD- ported by the league. An official who has to fight on the playing field ought to be upheld and the rowdies cen sured.
 Boston Americans haven't lost any opportunities to help themselves dur ing the stay at home. The club ought to be we'll fixed when it is campaign ing again. ~
 PlM Corcoran's record shows the kind of pitching power that it is pleasurable to comment on. In two successive days he has shut out Bridgeport.
 Holyoke has a double header ar ranged for Saturday with Norwich and the games will give Holyoke a fine chance to show itself at home be- fore big gathering.
 First place isn't beyond the Ponies reach. The honor can scarcely be gained by Holyoke because of the late start, but 1t is possible that the cham pionship will remain in Massachu- setts.
 Charlie Kennedy worked with the veteran Bob Emslie at Chicago yes terday. The Springfield man is sure to be an umpiring success if he keeps plugging. ..-
 Mike McAndrews made a game at- tempt to continue after he had been cannonaded by Clark's terrific swat in the fourth. Mac will probably have to remain from to-day's game.
 TNhn TJo1 fno r,la +o ,olo o week after the closing of the league season and games with independent teams are sought. The players will divide the profits, the Hartford man. agement not being interested financial ly in the program.
 It was lovely mixup that was presented at Holyoke. An army of players, two wounded two physicians in attendance, police turnout in sup port of the umpire and a general baseball hubbub throughout, made the afternoon whizz by rapidly.
 Hartford has some hard losers. One man sat in the bleachers and cussed every player and the management throughout the second game. He ar- piled some kind of an unbecomlng name to every one who came to bat. One of his choicest was given when he called one of the veterans on the Hartford team an old tobacco worm.
 Jim O'Rourke says that he may pull Foster in to play shortstop regu- larly and use O'DeH as pitcher all the time. The shortage of slabmen and the unwillingness Of MT Q O'Rourke to experiment with youngsters at this time, puts the Orators in @ position where something must be done with the talent on the team.
 The management of the Northamp- ton base ball team is endeavoring to arrange poSt-season series of games with Springfield, Holyoke, Northamp- ton and Greenfield as the contestants. It is the fond belief of the Northanlp- ton contingent that it has a team too speedy for anything in the Connecti- cut league, and 1t believes such a series would prove it's contention. It is not improbable that such a series will take place, although some of the league players in both the league teams have practically made arrange ments to go to their homes as soon as the season ends.
 The first physician on the field was Dr H. R. Sackett who legged his way into notice in the fourth when he went from the stand to examine Mike McAndrew's right kneecap which had been peppered by mighty wallop sent out by Roy Clark. 'McAndrews had to retire from duty after the fifth inning and Schincel went to short stop, Fields going In to catch. Schin- eel had the fore and middle fingers of his dight hand spiked at first base in the seventh in sprawling to the | oa1y +n Tn0 o vUf76 fT7 f0 aQt-ah him. Dr F. A. Woods taped the wound and Schincef continued in ac- tion.-So oriLgfe'd Union.
