WOULD PLAY BALL.
Terry McGovern Wants to Join the
 Bridgeports.

Bridgeport. Conn. June f4.-Terry McGovern. formerly featherweight champion of the world. wants to play ball with the tribe of Uncle Ieems O'Rourke The little fighter is so- journing in Litchfeld. It was from that place that he tciephoned to Bridgeport yesterday afternoon ask ing to get chance to play with the Orators. Terry says he can play sec ond base or the outfield.
 In addition to that he modestly states that he would be drawing card to attract fans to Newfield park. where they are coming in scant num- bers at present. Uncle Jeems sniiled sagely when asked if he were going to consider Terry's proposition. He was inclined to think that the umpires were having trouble enough without having the little fighter added to the list of baiters. He is afraid Terry would not add the desired strength to the Oratcrical ranks. hut is still thinking of how the gate receipts would swell with the terrible one as an attraction.

THE DIAMOND
EXHIBITION GAME
 WAS THIS ONE
New Haven Defeated Waterbury in a Close Game Results of All
 Other Games.

Meriden saw real baseball game yesterday, when the Prodigals of Wa terbury and the Hens of New Haven battled with each other in an exhi- Sbitiop game on Hanover park grounds. That it was to be an exhibition was not known to everybody and in fact but very few knew of it until the game was over. Although Waterbury was defeated it does not affect her standing of the day before. on account of the game being an exhibition. Bill Lefty" Rogers was selected to do the twirling and that arm of his must have been revived by that familiar Merl, den air, for he did good work and if the team behind him had done any hitting whatsoever. the Prodigals would have carried home victory. Phil Corcoran was opposed to Lefty Bill and Phil had everything in his stock of curves yesterday. It was gilt edge ball that Corcoran pitched. ey- cry bit of it and no mistake and he had the locals at his mercy. A crowd numbering over thirteen hundred paid admissions, attended the game and they were about evenly divided as to their choice. Malone held the indica- tor once more and his decisions could be improved upon.
 The Prodigals started out to cinch the game in the very first inning AfI ter McAndrews flied out to short. Me Cabe was hit by Corcoran. Swander smashed out corkinc single to cen ter and Wade out in that field booted it and McCabe came home. Swander took second but was thrown out at third on Nichols grounder to Hay ward. O'Hagan hit out safe one and Nichols came all the way around and O'Hagan died trying to stretch his hit to three. That was our first. last and only scoring as Corcoran allowed us just two hits after that first inning.
 New Haven tied the score in the second inning. Hayward and Bunyan, the first two men up smashed out safe bingoes. Wade then hammered one at Rogers who made mess of it and Rice followed soon after with anoth- CT misplay. Jope followed all this with a safe hit. Hayward had come home during the confusion and Bunyan tried to do likewise. but ran away of the line of base to escape Thacka- ra. who didn't even stop the ball, but Bunyan was called out for running of the base line. Corcoran hit one out into left field and on the out. Wade eame home with the tyipga run, One more came to the Hens in thessixth on two singles by Burke and Hayward. and an out to center field.
