JACK BAGLEY ARRIVES.

Holyoke, April 18-The Holyoke infield as it probably will line up for the season, was at work on the ball grounds yesterday afternoon and .he fans who gathered in the grandstand were agreed that it looked like the real thing Captain Mccormack was in his place at third, Larkin was prancing around the short field and John Bagley of Waterbury, who ar rived yesterday morning, made his first appearance at the first station. These three, with Andy Lawrence 1t second, spent the afternoon begin ming to get together.
 Mccormack who played a good bit of ball in Cuba during the winter, is in good condition and burns the ball across the diamond as fast as ever. Larkin is as brown as he will be at any time in the season for he has worked out of doors all winter, but is new to handling the ball. He starts the season with much of his old speed and few days playing will put him in excellent condition as he has little weight to take off.
 Bagley is a big fellow. the only man of stature in the infieId. and he handles himself well. Though the work never grew very hot, as Bagley and Larkin had to break in easily. lie had chance to show that he knows how to take pickups and to go into the air for high throws. Every irl- dication is that the four will make a tight infeld.s

BELL AND HIS MATCH WITH
 PIENING.
Should Be an Easy Win for the Westerner If on the
 Square.

New York, April 1S-Fred Beell. the great western light heavyweight wrestler, who is to meet John Pien- ing, the Butcher Boy," in a finish match under mixed rules at the Grand Central palace on April 24, feels con- fident of winning, notwithstanding Pienings skill and powers of endur- ance. Harvey Parker, the Little Demon,' who matched Beell against Tom Jenkins is ready to wager any part of $1.O0O that the Wisconsin far mer will defeat the Graeco Roman champion decisively. Fleming gave Tom Jenkins the toughest argument he ever had on the mat at Madison Square Garden under the same condf- tions which he is to meet Beell, but the best the big catch as catch can champion could get was draw, after two hours and ten minutes. Piening's method of training is similar to that pursued by a pugilist preparing fof q championship fight, as he pays par ticular attention to perfecting his wind and gaining speed. He is being trained by Young Hackenschmidt, the Bavarlan Tiger, who will appear against John J. Little of BrocktoIl, who Is training Parker for his match with George Bothner which takes place the same night.
 As Fleming and Bothner are close friends nothing would please Parker better than to gain the decision over the lightweight champion and have Beell down Piening's colors kss

 NEW YORK. April 1s.-The second day of the war on poolrooms insu- gurated by the Jockey club at the Aqueduct race track was marked by the same delay and strict censorship of all telegraphic messages which put the poolroom representatives in panic at the opening.

 The track. stands and betting ring at Aqueduct swarrned with detectives. and during the course of the first two races they discovered several runners who obtained advanced information and the results of races and hurried the news out to confederates who hsd leased lines installed in fsrmhouses or who had paid a nearby telephone station to remain open for their sole use.

The Dublins proved easy picking for the Waterburys yesterday and the boys showed better stick work than in any of the other games. Young Flynn of Meriden, who by the way is brother of Tom and Bill Flynn of this city, did good work on the slab, but was given some of the most wretched kind of support The second home run of the season was made by Tom Maroney of the Dublins, who drove it over the center field fence. Cy Voorhees, umpired with satisfaction. Kid Morris was again on the slab for Waterbury and did better work than his feat the other day. Wallace pitched the last three innings and had the Dublins at his mercy. All in all it was a better game to watch and the 200 or more fans enjoyed it. The score:

"EDDIE FITZ."

F. c. Abbe, proprietor of the Ar lington hotel at Bethlehem, N. H., writes as follows to the Springfield Republicans:
 In your issue of the 18th you have an item under Edward Fitzgerald is Famous," saying that Waterbury, New Haven and Hartford each claim to have signed man named Edward Fitzgerald. The truth is that Ed ward c. Fitzgerald, who is natl ye of this town, has signed with Hart ford as catcher. though he had offers from both Waterbury and New Ha- ven, which he refused. Eddie Fitz," as he is familiarly called by his many friends, is not only first class ball player, but a gentleman. Graduated from Dow academy (Franconia), where he was captain and catcher of the school team, which made a record in the north country" in 1902 and 1903, he was captain and catcher of the White fields. and in 1904 and 1905 held the same position and was also manager of the nine representing the hotels of Bethlehem, N. H., strong team composed of college and semi-profcs- sional players. For the past four or five winters he has caught for the 0rmond, Fla, team, and is we'll known by the patrons of that resort. as we'll as by the lovers of the game who annually visit Bethlehem. l un- derstand 1t was through the latter that Hartford. as well as the other cities mentioned. learned about him. Hartford may rest assured that he has signed with no other city. for his word is as good as a contract, and the capital city is to be congratulated on securing his services. Keep your eve of Eddie Fitz."
