 WesIeyans Beat Syracuse.
 MIDDLETOWN, Conn, May IT, Wesleyan beat Syracuse university here 5 to in game of ball that abounded in good fielding. The errors of the visitors were costly. & BASEBALL NOTES.
 Willie Keeler made his first error of the season on Monday.
 Young Chase Is beginning to find himself. He is improving right along.
 Brown, the Chicago pitcher, can sprint lot when bound for first base.
 Fitzpatrick's injury takes lot of backbone from the Ponies prosperi- ty story.
 It is said that Johnny Burgess of the City Amateur league will join the Nors wich team shortly.
 Eight straight for Holyoke-count lem. And the end is not yet, But it may be tomorrow.
 Umpire Harkins rates Hartford, Springfield and Holyoke as the strong est teams in the circuit.
 How 1t must jar on the Orators to be bracketed with the "despised' Mer- iden aggregation from Danaherville. Can 1t be that Hummel and Hartley are destined to follow in the foot 1teps of Batch and Owens? The fans of HolyoKe fear 50.
 Evidently Corcoran's 18th year on the diamond Is his unlucky period, and the sympathies of the fans throughout the league are with him. Chesbro will not be able to pitch for several weeks for the New York Amer leans. He is in poor condition as the result of grip and is on his way home. Looks as though Batch were still strictly in 1t, three hits out of four times up, including a triple and a home run, being his record yesterday.
 Patrick Murphy, the new Springfield pitcher, got into the game Monday. He went to the outfield when Fitzpatrick was hurt and Dillon had to move in to second.
 Joe Connor has been out of the game with Newark for the past few games and O'Hagan has been holding down the first bag. The batting of Joe Is being missed and unless O'Hagan im- proves it would not be surprising to see Joe back on the initial sack once more. One of Grifith's youngsters who has made good and shown himself fully able to hold his own in fast company is Billy Hogg, the pitcher. Like most side wheelers, he is inclined to give too many bases on balls, but he possesses coolness, generalship, speed and a good cross fire.
 The accident to Fitzpatrick will be a considerable loss to Springfield. The Ponies had their share of hard luck last season with accidents and they should not have all of this kind of trouble. If the pitchers were little stronger the team could afford to have a few men laid up.
 The Springfield pitchers are begin ming to get their bumps. The experts an along the line knew they couldn't stand the gan. Norwich got seventeen off Bowler Monday. If Manager ONeil didn't have a good hitting out field he would be down among the trailers. Unless strength Is added to the pitching stan O'Neil need not ex- pect to keep at the top very long.
 A Holy Cross supporter contends that unspornmanlike conduct won for Yale against Holy Cross Saturday. It is alleged that Yale batsman caused the catcher to throw poorly to catch a man attempting to steal. by putting his bat before the back stops arm. The avenue of escape Is very small for any team and 1t isn't likely that Holy Gross will make capi- tai out of the incident.
 Manager Frank Selee of the Chi caeo tenn. expects great things of Reulbach and PfefYer. his giant pitch ing recruits. Reulbach is said to be the talIest man in professional base ball and halls from New Hampshire. He may pitch one of the games af the Polo grounds for the Windy City team against the champion Giants during the present series. Prefer made his mark as a twirler at the University of Illinois.
