GOSSIP OF
 STATE LEAGUE
Danaher Still . Mystery Makeup of Some of the Teams-Results of Games Yesterday.

The directors Of the Connecticut Baseball league will convene at the Hotel Garde in New Haven this af-- ternoon and the principal business will be to ratify the seasons sched- ule as prepared by the committee, O'Rourke of Bridgeport, Humphrey of New London and ONeill of Springfield. The feature of this schedule is that the bulk of the Sat urlay games will be played in the money-making cities, Hartford, New Haven, Springfield and Bridgeport.
 Whether Manager Danaher of New Haven will show his hand at the meeting today or not is not known. The New Haven patrons of the game are not supporting him in his course. Some of the managers are in favor of dropping Meriden if New Haven quits and others favor putting Water bury in the league in place of New Haven. The matter will be discussed at to-day's meeting, but it is doubt full if any action will be taken. The season will open April 2S and the directors will have time for another meeting. The Hartford players have been ordered to report not later than April IT.
 There will be the old-time rivalry between Norwich and New London and the Whalers are now claiming that they will win the series from Norwich if they lose to every other team in the league. Five of the Whalers have already reported. There is a a.contest for the position Of short stop on the Norwich team. Jack Hannifan and Albert Zollers are the candidates. Hannifan has been fa- vOrite in Norwich, but he is not q heavy sticker Zollers comes from the Oxford, Pa. team. He is said to had batting average of .3O5.
 The revised list of Holyokes team does not contain Pop Schincel or Happy HOoligan Connolly, catchers. The team as now given out by Mama ger Frysinger is as follows: Rementer and Efgar, catchers; Hartley, Dolan, Summers, McCabe. Vickers, pitchers; Deal, first base; Hickey, second base; Hummell, third base: Larkin, short stop; Russell, left field; Hartley. cen ter field; Farrell, right field. Vickers is the only pitcher who was with the team last year.
 Manager Dan O'Neill of Springfield announces his roster for 1905 as fol- lows: Pitchers, Hess, Bowler, Luby and Miller: catchers, O'COnner and Hayes; first base Crook; second base, Fitzpatrick; third base, Nagle; left field, Flanagan; center field, Tansey; right field. Lewis or Burke Joe Con nor: Ed ConnOrs, Heffner and Hale, all of last years team, are missing. The fact that O'Neill has secured the former HOlyoke player. Fitzpatrick. to play second is a surprise. He will probably be appointed captain.
 It is doubtful if Nagle will play with Springfield. He was released to Springfield by Manager Tracy and then he made arrangements to play with Harrisburg in the Tri-State league. Billy Hamilton is managing that team and O'Neill has dickered with Hamilton for the player Lewis, the Outfielder, comes from Philadel- phia and was recommended by Dan Hoffman. The deal for Burke has not gone through. O'Neill offered $25O to Meriden for him and he will be play ed in right if he is secured. Altizer has been retained at a reduced sal ary.
 Tommy Ramon has not been placed yet as far as known. The umpires are not worrying any because their tormentOr has not signed. Among the outlaws" O'ROurke. jr, will play with Bridgeport, O'Hara with Meri- den. Plank and Tighe with Norwich. and Rising and Finn with New Lon don. Tuckey has gone to Harrisburg.
