 Charley Humphrey says that Bob Drew needs guardian or chaper- one.' Drews remarks on Humphrey have not yet been reported.
 Lord, second baseman of the Nor wich team, is fleet infielder and he is already accredited, in Nirwich, with being the best in the league.
 Bob Drew, the old Connecticut league first baseman, didn't bat we'll enough for Providence of the Eastern league and he has been chased away.
 From their achievements to date. it would seem that Meriden and Norwich are destined to cut somewhat wider swath this year than last season.
 George Henry's running catch was the only real fielding play of the day. Henry's willingness and ability will help Nashua New England league team this season.
 With that man Hummel on hand" remarked veteran Holyoke fan to Prindiville, ''we'll soon get over mourn ing for Heinie Batch" To which Mir r. assented without demur.
 Rube Vickers absolutely refuses to part with the playing shoes in which he broke into the aristocracy of the major leagues-and broke out again, as he pathetically expresses it.

 David Altizer of the Ponies is an old wrestling enthusiast. He intends to be at the ringside when Barnes at- tempts to throw OConnell five times in an hour in Turn hail., Springfield.
 Newark got a start in Connecticut league ranks by beating Bridgeport. Having been beaten by Meriden, Springfield and Hartford, there is lit- tie consolation in the award of victory.
 So strong is the resemblance be- tween "Mac" McCabe and Harry Jope that the Holyoke pitcher might pass for the New Haven catcher even among those familiar with the features of the latter. .5l
 Regarding amateurism in colleges. Lajoie says that Holy Cross once tried to rope him in. Frank Donahue. the Cleveland pitcher, declares that Yale was hot after him once. How lovely is the purely amateur base ball!
 After three defeats by one run each by the Meriden, Springfield and Hart ford Connecticut league clubs, the, Newark management is willing to ad- init that there is some speed in the minor leagues outside the Eastern.
