 Steamer Flanagan is showing up we'll with Rochester. In Tuesdays game he rapped for two singles. and Wednesday got a single and double besides stealing two bases.
 Steamer Flanagan played an ex- ceptionally fine game both in the field and with .,he willow.

 Dave Hill knows that whether or not he was right in allowing the game to go on. that he has no power to call on bets. considering the way the game was decided. Consequently he did not want to make any after state ments. If he thought he needed to square himself he would have writ ten a signed statement to all the pa- pers of this city the morning after the game.
 The Boston Herald picks this team as a winner among New England players: First base. Eligible of Lynn: second base. Connaughton of Haver- hill: third base. Lord of Worcester or Bowcock of Fall River; shortstop. Pastor of Lynn: left field. Burkett of Worcester: center field. Zacher of Worcester: right field. Chadbourne of Worcester: pitchers.
