THE DIAMOND.
ONE GAME YESTERDAY
Pastimes Defeat St Josephs in Last Inning Results of Games in All Leagues Saturday and Sunday.

Owing to the threatening weather yesterday but one game was played in the City Amateur league series. This one after being apparently won by the St Josephs in the first inning was won by the Pastimes in the last inning by home run hit of Legges with two men on bases. In the first inning the St Josephs walloped the ball so hard that six runs were scored before the side was retired. Tom Byrnes was on the slab for the St Josephs. In the first inning the Pastimes scored one and in the second three runs were made by the same team. Neither side did any scoring then until the eighth when by good stick work and bad play. Ing by the Saints the Pastimes scored two runs and tied the game. In the ninth the Pastimes hit the, ball hard again and placed two men on bases Legge, who had not been doing much batting, was up, and he hit a hard one that sailed out of sight, sending the two men on bases in ahead of him. self, thus winning the game. The score:

CHIEF REILLY TALKS.

T. L. Reilly, chief of the umpire slaff has the following to say: Managers in and out of meetings howl about um- pires, though there has been compara- lively little this year. The only way an umpire can enforce discipline is to have his orders obeyed. The other day Umpire Kennedy ordered Terry Rogers out of the Meriden- New Haven game and then out of the ground. Rog- CTS wouldn't go and there was no police officer in uniform on the ground to make him go The rules call for two officers in uniform. That's where the managers violate the rules they in sist upon the umpire enforcing The chief also remarks that Maurice Quirk had the good sense to stop umpiring when he realized that he was not like ly to make go of the hard job.

CAPT MIKE MCCORMICK.

Michael J. Mccormick has been ap pointed captain of the Holyoke tean
 to succeed Mike Hickey, who was
 chosen captain before the champion ship season begun. Hickey has played but one game with the team. Then ht
 was hurt in the shoulder and the com mand passed to Deal The latter now
 surrenders his temporary duties to the
 ex-Superba. Hickey is expected to be
 able to play again to-day or to-mor row. Hummel has been playing sec ond for Holyoke and one of these two men will probably be kept as utility man. Mccormick is an experienced player and has good knowledge of the game.
 Tom Tuckey will be big help to New Haven in its hard climb. He'll stop many aspiring ones.
 President P. T. Powers of the East- ern league figures that First Baseman Lachance will be big card with Mont real because of his French Canadian extraction.
 Looks as though the regulations for batting brought by the. Holyoke play CTS from Pennsylvania were thorough ly deserved, and were won in good company.
 When the umpire announced the bat teries the Springfield pitcher was an nOunced as "Maguire." This is the fayorite naTne Hess has for all persons he does not know.
 When First Baseman O'Hagan of Newark reported to that team Wednes- day he was worked at second base, Manager Burnham being ayerse to withdrawing Joe Connor from first base.
 Mike Sullivan doesn't deserve any of the comment intended for Shaun Sui livan. Up fin H0lyoke Mike was being put down as q very unsatisfactory per former when it was another fellow at work.
 Now that he has arrived on the scene, George Bannen is more than pleased at his exchange into Holyoke from New Haven, and has likewise been gathered into the. fellowship of his new colleagues.
 Great is the discontinue of those who have been prOphesying slump in Hummers batting, the Holyoke second baseman being apparently bent on leading the league this season. At his present rate, he should come near it.
 Judging from the persistence with which Norwich is going down hill. Cro- ius is not the success as captain that his friends fondly imagined he would prove. Nor does the. dispute with Tighe tend to make prospects brighter for the Rosebuds.

 Frank Gotch, and to this end he has posted $1O0 with George Considine to hrrange match with Jenkins or any wrestler at catch-as-catch-cans style, best two in three falls, for $1,OOO side.
