BASEBALL NOTES.

0ADG0AAA NV1G ED. New Haven tomorrow. Is this January or May? Down in last place once more. Double header for tomorrow. This is slick weather for baseball. Norwich holds the whip hand just now.
 How long will Terry Rogers stay
 with Jim o'Rourke?
 The Hens will have to root some
 today to defeat the Prodigals.
 Brother Bill says that he is not
 looking for position in this league,
 that he has four offers to go else
 where.
 "Larry'' Doolan is the talk of the east end and he will surely get an ovation when he appears with the Merrlmacs on Sunday.
 The Prodigals were used in verse last night in the musical comedy at Polls theater. The name of the Pro- dlgals has spread all over the circuit now and seems to be trade mark.
 Claud Rossman played the bag again yesterday for Cleveland, and this time Stovall sat on the bench. Claud got two of the seventeen hits the team made, and had eighteen .putouts.
 With five pitchers on his staff Dan O'Neil is up against worse propo- sition in the pitching department than any manager in the league. It looks as if some of them were being kept because there are uniforms to fit them.
 Jack Bagley told his friends in this city when he was here with Holyoke that he and Mccormack were only signed to play until July l. Then they were both free to go where they liked outside of the Con- necticut league.
 Manager Slack of the New Haven baseball club signed yesterday Lin coin Wade, former Norwich pitcher and outfielder, and began negotia- tions with Connie Mack for the transfer of Jack Hannifin, former shortstop of the Norwich club, to New Haven.
 Lepine is in Holyoke ready to get into the game with .he Champs any time he is wanted. but Manager Fleming shipped back the man sent on from Jersey City under the name of Holmes. Fleming says the man who came Is not the one he wanted, and annaore to th{vxlr sop,a ono u,,~ trying to gold brick him.
 The Taft school boys drove one pitcher out of the box yesterday in the game with Litchfield. and then Trumbull. he with the many curves, who has just been released by Hart ford. was put in to save the day and he did it. The Taft boys threw good scare into the fellows from the windy hills of Litchheld. however.
 One of those sulky spells has struck Pat Dougherty again. Bos- ton let him go to New York because of that failing more than anything else and now New York wants to send him to Cincinnati to let Ned Hanlon tame him a bit. Jim 0'Rourke can remember some of his fits when he pitched for the Bridge port team.
 The Young Independents would like to play any team in the city un- der 12 years of age. The Baldwin Streets are preferred. The lineup Is as follows: E. Reilly, c: F. Miller, D: l.. Kemp. lb; W. Curley. 2b: F. Sheehan. sb; F. Curley, ss: F. Wall. If: !. wrenn. If; l.. Phelan, of. Any one wishing game call on E. Reilly. 15 South street, or F. Curley. 54 South street.
 Magnate 0'Rourke of the Bridge port team threw a surprise into he ramp of the rooters yesterday when he announced that he had signed Terry Rogers. late of the Prodixals. It is said that Terry will play first base for the present. Later he may 20 to the outfield. as Uncle Jeems de- -lsres that he will play first base himself when the weather gets a lit- ile more bslmy.
 Manager 0'Rourke yesterday noon decided that fl vas fco cold to play ball and have anyone present. so he called the game with Waterbury Df Everybody was going about yes ierdsy vith their winter furs on. ft Is as hard to figure out how May rsn be called a spring month as it Is to arrange for a three shift patrol syptem with only enough men for a .hift and a hslf. The other six teams participated. and the odd scores printed elsewhere show the results.
 The Boston Americans have dropped so far behind in the r-ee hat a shskeup seems necessary. The 'oiioving lineup Is proposed --ith he hope that 1t vould strenzthea ne team Iuiius Caesar. ID.
