 Wild Bill Donovan had fun with the Cleveland people yesterday when he stole second, third and home in sue cession. Some one must have been asleep at the switch.
 When Eddie Walsh, who held Glove land to one hit Sunday, was pitching for Meriden, he wns far inferior to Rube Vickers, except that he had as much sense as vickers had nonsense. Harry O'Hagan is the same mild. hammered player he was in the old days with Rochester. Waterbury peo. pie ought to get some excitement with Hatpin Harry and Terrible Terry Rogers on the same team.--Springfeld Union. The terrible one has been given l his 23.
 Everyday sees a bewildering change l in the American league standing. The Athletics moved up to the leading DO sition yesterday, and Detroit jumped l from fourth to tie for second with Washington. Cleveland slid down one place and New York exchanged places with Chicago. Boston is the only team l which seems at all firmly settled. C1aud Rossman played his first game of the season for Cleveland yes 1 terday. He scored one hit. and took all his fielding chances at first base. If he can make good ill the field he is likely to beat out Stovall for the place. as Stovall's batting average is only .o24, a figure which big Claud is supposed to be 9ble to better.
 It's the blacklist for Dave Altizer now anyway whether or not he was doomed before. Dave had until 6 l o'clock last night to show up fin l Springfield. and he failed to put in ap- pearance. Manager Dan O'Neil said l yesterday that he would at once take steps to prevent Altizer from ever playing in organized baseball again. Irving Waldron. right fielder of the San Francisco baseball team. is 1t his home in Podunk. Brookfiel1. recover l Ing from exposure after the recent 1 earthquake and fire. He says he has had enough of Frisco and will sign with some Eastern team. The San Francisco team had lost but two games out of il played. and those I were won by Seattle. with Rube Wick CTS. formerly of the Holyoke team. in i the box.
 The players on the home team should go and rub hump some where.
 The young Green Banners will play any team in the city IA or 15 years of age. If you want game call on Thomas Shanahan, corner Baldwin and Mill streets.
 Even Johnnie" Dawson could not change the luck. Johnnie with his fog horn voice made plenty of fun for the spectators. "Six to five you don't get there" hollered the north end man as Hartford player came to the bat in the sixth inning. That Hartford team is fast bunch. Dr Hayes is one of the real live rooters that go to the games. Yes terday he was given much applause as he entered the grand stand. He isn't afraid to use his lungs, either.
 "Ain't he rotten?" You're punk" "If you didn't have muzzle on you would be shot," Go and crawl in a hole;" But you are exasperating; How much are you getting?" These were some of the remarks hurled al the umpire, but he simply smiled and continued to smile.
 Justice certainly can field few, He is the fastest shortstop that has apeared here this season. The Senators are certainly a nice bunch of throwers.
 It would be a wise move to remove that stump and stone In left field. | Swander took a beautiful header there yesterday. Some one will break his neck on 1t yet.
 O'Hagan has started at last; let him keep up the good work.
 Everybody in the grand stand af we'll as those on the bleachers stood up for luck in the ninth inning yes. terday, and 1t brought luck-hard luck, the batters going out in order
 There Is some consolation in the fact that New London also bit the dust.
 As an instance of how quickly the crowd changes, in the fifth yesterda, Swander made . beautiful catch and as he came in he was applauded SC l liberally he was compelled to dof his cap. The next inning he made ar error which let in run and oh wha' howl.
 | All the scores of National, Ameri can and Connecticut leagues were or the Democrat windows last evening before 6:30.
 woodford was bad as they make | them.
 That drop ball of Farley's Is ons of the incest seen in this section fir long time.
 "All aboard for Middletown." wal sign hung out on one of the carr yesterday by a joker. If the car had travelled there and some of the pas sengers stayed on they would not have been far from their destination Charley Clancy, who pitched for Waterbury in the good old days, has been released by Montreal of tho Eastern league.
 William I"Lefty") Rogers. one oi the Waterbury pitchers. may not twiri another game this season. Bills arm has been giving him considera. 1 ble trouble and he has gone back tc his home at Wharton. V. J.
