Baseball Notes.
The ball game Saturday will be
with Ware, and is bound to prove in
teresting. The visitors are constantly
strengthening their team, and they
will no doubt make an extra effort to
win the game Saturday. It is expect
ed that Monroe, the crack Wesleyan
twirler, will be here Saturday for his
first game on the Stafford team. Yes
terday Monroe defeated Williams COL
lege in a stubbornly fought thinning
game, 1 to o. The following from
the Springfield Republican will give
an idea of what MoDroa has accom-
pIished this season.
The brilliant work of Arthur J.
Monroe of Brattleboro, VT, Wesley
ans star twirler for the season, has
caused much favorable comment. This
is Monroe's fourth year on the varsity
as pitcher. This year he has pitch
ed consistent ball, being forced to bear
the brunt of the game, by a team
which did not develop it's fielding
until late in the season. He has won
nearly all of the games which he has
pitched, and has scored victories over
Tufts, Columbia, Manhat-
tan, Syracuse, Rutgers and New York
He sprained his ankle in
which greatly handicapped
him in his delivery, and kept him
out of the Amherst and Williams
games His greatest feat, this year,
was winning four games in one week,
three of which were shutouts. Tufts
was beaten, 3 to 1, Manhattan 10 to
D, Dartmouth to 0, and Columbia 3
to 0. He was at his best in the Dart
game, when he held the green
down to one hit and was faced by only
30 batters. Monroe has a peculiar
cross fire" delivery, with plenty of
steam. He uses his head we'll and
fields his position in almost perfect
style. He is heavy and sure hitter
md leads the Wesleyan batters with
an average of over 300. He was
captain during his Junior year, but
refused a reelection.
If Stafford is going to stay near the
head of the league the players will
nave to improve their batting average.
Lynch has only made two errors, but
MS handling of the stick does not show
Up we'll. 1t has been reported that he
lesires a release. His playing at
lines has indicated something of the
Kind.
The members of the Rockville asso-
iation are very bitter on account of
he treatment they have received
rom Flynn of the Holy Gross college
cam, who signed contract to manage
he Rockville team. and at the last
noment deserted them to play with
he Toronto team. Stafford was
reated in about the same way by
Waite of Rockville, who had signed
o stay in the Stafford team, and Cobb
# Amherst, who has Joined the Low
Ill team, both men DESERVING without
giving any notice to Manager O'Oon-
lell.
Many changes will be made in the
Aonson team this week and it is
claimed in Monson that Murphy, who
s now playing short with Springfield,
will be at his old position with the
eaders of the Bi-State in the game
With Chicopee Falls Saturday. They
ay that Monson has been without a
,ool room, but one has been fitted up
md it will be turned over to Murphy.
Wallace, who is now playing third for
donson, will be moved to short when
Murphy joins the team. A new
econd baseman has been signed.
xelliher and King, the former short
top and second baseman, and Dowd
ave been released. Kelliher's throw
ng has been poor and his batting
weak.
