 Illness prevented Mike Hickey from officiating in the Hartford Wa terbury game yesterday.
 "Cooney' Rice gave us slight ex- hibition of his running of bases yes terday, and he did it we'll, too.
 John B. Foster says there is not man in the Brooklyn club who is tho equal of Batch as pinch hitter. Either Rogers or Voorhees, will of ficiate in Springfield to-day and it is up to one of those chaps to make good.
 Pretty raw deal they gave Charley Clancy down in New Haven, but it is hard to tell just what Conny Danaher will do sometimes.
 Baker and Thackara shook hands across the sea yesterday while the ball dropped between them. Both had it but neither got it.
 Bill Yale had lot of fun Thurs day smashing out safe hits against his old teammates. Bill was sent in to lead the batting order.
 The Middletown high school base ball team defeated the Hartford high school team yesterday afternoon on Andrus field, Hartford, ? to l.
 The slump of the Giants is being noted with glee all over the land, mainly because of the rowdy tactics which the worlds champions have adopted.
 Three rich pages of base hall in D u. Sketches of Waterbury's thirty-third degree fans. Scores of all games ev- erywhere.
 Half the interest is taken out of a game when there is no regular nm pire, and then, too, there is no .ona for the fans to abuse when we arc getting whipped.
 The western teams took all the games played in the National league Thursday. Rain spoiled good chance for Pittsburg to follow the Spuds in their runaway race.
 If Supervisor of Empires Kennedy doesn't watch out he will be getting hammers thrown his way for neglect of this city. No umpire yesterday either. Whats the trouble, anyway?
 Mike McAndrews had better stick to the infield position and let Swan der and McCabe take care of the out field. That was bad yesterday, Mike, and might have resulted disastrous ly.
 If Pat Conroy, first baseman of the Hartford team, had not been so slow yesterday he would have contributed to triple play. He had plenty of time, too, but acted like an old cart horse.
 Every team in the league has now beaten each other one or more times. Waterbury and Bridgeport both broke the slate yesterday, Waterbury beating Hartford and Bridgeport heating Sprin gfieid,
