BASE BALL TID.BITS.
New London Saturday.

New London Saturday.
 Monitors and Slashers in prelim- mary.
 New Haven will get dose of its own medicine to-day.
 Holyoke is tired of being the bell COW and is making desperate effort to catch up. !aSa Pop" Nichols can play any posi- tion on the diamond with the excep- tion of pitch. It is dollars to doughnuts that if Bridgeport had been two runs to the good in that game yesterday Uncle Jim" would not allow it to go back to the sixteenth inning.
 The fans should turn out in large numbers on Saturday as long as the management gave New London such big guarantee to have the game transferred to this city.
 Tommy Lawlor and Bill Thompson of the Independents will play with the Danbury team hereafter, and Lallier and Legge will fill their places on the local team. @E5 When it comes to sharp practices Secretary O'Rourke has no whimper of conscience, if the sharp practice assists him or his team. That game in Bridgeport is an instance.
 Hey, is yer lid glued on?" yelled one fan to Muggsy Drake when the little shortstop refused consistently to raise his hat after receiving enough applause for an entire team. Holyoke is surely making a bid for higher honors. The champions don't like that last round in the lad der a little bit and Hartford may be holding down that position if. she fdUesn' tswHtch out. 1s - Jack Tighe found the Berkshire street grounds costly place to visit yesterday. He had to peel bill of from his wad twice to reward Golden and Accorsini for home runs, and lost the game at that.
 A suggestion from New London is that the Connecticut league make its holiday admission fee 50 cents In order to help some of the clubs keep heads above water. If the league should ever try it what howl there would be.
 Manager McDermott sold lott to Holyoke for $500. The national board refused to sanction the sale and McDermott must refund the money, while lott will have to go back to- the Independents.-Manches- ter Union.
 Pitcher Hardy of Troy put up feat recently that is likely to stand alone for some time. Pitching both games of double header, he scored two shutouts and struck out 21 of the GA men who faced him in eigh- teen innings.
 Dan O'Neil sent wire to Super visor Kennedy yesterday asking if Hampden park is ever to see a regu- lar umpire again. If Dan Sweeney were to work all the time there would be little cause to kick. He's better than most men Kennedy has landed. Izzy Hoffman committed breach of etiquette yesterday which under some umpires would have put him on the bench. Terry Rogers had called him out on strikes and lazy hurled his bat to the ground just far enough from the official to miss all risk of hitting him.
 Harry O'Hagan was called away yesterday by the illness of his wife fin Newark. He promised the local management that he would assured ly be back here as soon as he pos sibly could. He has never been known 10 break his word and he may perhaps be here this afternoon.
 Every base ball fan in the city should be out to the game on Satur- day when New London plays here. The guarantee of $500 which the local management was compelled to give New London before the game was transferred ought to be made up and then tripled. It will be a fight ing game, too.
 A ticklIsh question may come up before the directors if the Hartford manaeement decides 10 protest that game of yesterday down in Bridge port. Which umpire had the author | Ity to call the games Corneu or tO'Leary. Pretty small potatoes at that after forcing the Hartford team to keep on playing. to then call the game when Hartford was to the good.
