 Notes of the Game.

The lovers of baseball in this city have the opportunity for the first time to-day of looking over the list of players that Manager Harry Du- rant has gathered in for the Water bury team. It is list that will give everybody satisfaction for it con- tains the names of many ball players who are we'll known in the baseball world and who would bring credit to any team. There are just twenty nine players on that list, and while of course that number will not he carried all the season, where all have such good regulations it will be easy to pick one corking good team. Here is the list as given out this morning:
 Catchers-Harry Thackera of Philadelphia, Simon McDonald of Hyde Park, who caught last season for the Washington Hill team of the City league, and William Smith of Philadelphia, who is find of Pitcher Frank Donahue.
 Pitchers-Parker E. Treat of Hamilton, New Jersey; William Kid" Morris of Red Hill, Pennsyl- vania; Oliver s. Colbridge of Phiia- delphia; Fred Fenske of Osweso, New York; William Rogers of Whar- ton, New Jersey; William Wallace of Waterbury; William "Cy" Voor- hees of Wadsworth, Ohio; Clarence Quinn of Torrington, and Eddie Barker of Waterbury.

Benjamin of Erie, Pennsylvania; Arthur Nichols of Willimantic; Harvey Ritter of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and l.. J. Rice of Ithaca, New York. This lat ter player is from the Cornell team and is rated as one of the best sec Ond basemen in the country. His record against Princeton and Har- ward last season is well remembered, for it was he that won the games for his team. He will join the Water bury team about the first of June. The fight for George Lachance is still on and Manager Durant will have this player if that is possible.

Clark of New York, and Arthur McCabe of Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania.
 Gangs of workmen are very busy these days out at the new ball field. They will work every Sdhdxy tco, to get the place in shape. The car penters are waiting for the first sig nal that the grounds are graded and the fence and grandstand will go up with a rush. Manager Durant says the grounds will be ready for the opening game and he generally says what he means. The players will all report here on April 10 and will get themselves in shape for the opening game.
 As soon as the fans read the above names they must at once realize that the local management intends to have first class baseball this season. There are but a few more of the season tickets left and these should be spoken for right away. The price charged is the same as in other cit- ies and 1t is a reasonable one for the number of games you will see.
