Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-05-12
BASEBALL NOTES.

Nice work yesterday. Didn't like the foot of ladder. Waterbury doesn't want to be the bell COW.
 More work for the bulletin dis tributer.
 Two good games in City league to- morrow.
 Has Hartford gone crazy over the arrival of Murphy?
 We need two victories to-day to make our weeks record good one. Taking the Hens" into camp on their own field is going it some. More hard luck--McAndrews in- jured and Cy Voorhees, suffering with the humps. Izzy' Hoffman of Holyoke says Waterbury and Norwich have the fastest teams in the league.
 It is safe wagering that one week from to-day the team will be higher in the race than 1t is to-day. New Haven players and fans are not anxious for the new uniforms to arrive, fearing they may prove hoo- doc. .
 We did some hitting in that sixth inning and Tom Tuckey must have thought he was up against batter ing ram.
 The Boston Americans are finding the cellar door very slippery. It is good thing there are steps leading from the cellar.
 "Cy" Voorhees,, that tall and lean youth, would make pretty picture | if he posed while he has swelled face caused by the humps. Eddie Phelps on whom baseball greatness was thrust while he was Pony, has been given his 10 days notice of release by Cincinnati.
 Pitcher Tom Hughes says he does not blame Dougherty in the least for jumping Griffith. He had a little experience of his own with the latter.
 Danny Hoffman is suffering with wrenched knee, the injury having kept him out of the game since his first effort for the New York Amer jeans.
 The O'Haras abound in base ball. in the game are outfiefders. one with Lancaster, one with Baltimore and one with Fall River. The Lancaster boy is the best. --..#.
 The Victors defeated the Cooke Streets this morning by the score of 9 to 2. The batteries were Fallon and Hayes for the winning team, and Soroski and Burnham for the losers.
 Two telegrams came from Little Rock, Ark, yesterday asking Dan o'Neil to sell Dave Altizer. The mat ter is now out of Mir O'Neil's hands. though he wouldn't sell if he could.
 The Field Streets defeated the Bank Streets this morning by the score of 9 to 3. The batteries were Teller and Irving for the winners, and O'Rourke and Grove for the losers.
 City officials out for practice yes terday afternoon; so were the off, cials of Bridgeport. The municipal nine of Waterbury may be bad, but Bridgeport in all probability will be much worse.
 Laporte's bat looks to be made of wood. but 1t Is suspected that it is made of iron. It as heavy a bludgeon as is to be found on the major league circuit. and how Its owner hoists fl up to batting position without using a derrick is mystery.
 The Democrat leads and the others follow. The wireless system of the Democrat. however, still holds the record and the bulletins of this pa- per are being read in all parts of the city before some people wake up.
 Mccabe came back into the lime light again yesterday with his trusty willow and his three singles were all we'll timed. Nichols. Baker and Thackera followed him closely. while McAndrevs. Svander and O'Hagan were not far behind.
 That hit of Dillon's yesterday when he took the place of Pitcher Frill in the ninth inning and drove in Frank Fitzpatrick with the win ming run for Springfield was one of the things that very rarely happen in ball game.
 We had to do it. New Haven. and we will try most assiduously to take two more from you to-day. If we do. the Proiigals will be canped in about the third position and then they will begin their battle for the top of the ladder in earnest
 The statement made in this paper l som. weeks ago about that Norwich !. outfit is bearing good fruit IL ought ] to he pretty strenuous fight be- tween Norwich. Hartford and Wa terhury if they ever get in close l proximity to each other. and it looks l like ff now.
 If Harry O'Hsrsn will only get in ] two or three hits to-day. it vill bs the greatest pleasure In the world | for the efciaf scorer to rub Of that
