BASE BALL NOTES.
New London here tomorrow.

New London here tomorrow.
 Wouldn't that luck make you want to say few things that are imprint able.
 4 strong lunged captain might have averted that accident by call ing for one man to take the play.
 One of the best players in this league was put on the hospital list when Bronkie got knocked down yes terday in that triple collision.
 The whalers will be here to-mor- row and as that team always gives us a good argument we will have to hustle to make good. We can't af- ford to lose any more games this week.
 o'Rourke, the crack infielder and good sticker of the New London team. has been purchased by the Water bury team and will be in the game to-day. The injury to our players has caused the management to get busy.
 If we get Ward back now we will have a pretty strong infield with Lachanee. 0'Rourke. Ward and Nc Andrews Now for a good hard hit ting outfelder to take Bronkie's place and another twfrler.
 Just think of son of Jim o'Rourke leaving money around so loosely that it was pinched Father Jim's lessons seem to have fallen on barren soil It would have to be a mighty good burglar that would get twenty spot from papa.
 The enlarged craniums of the i. Rockvilles got a good dent yesterday when they stacked up against the Independents of this city. Perhaps Jimmy Phoenix will lay that defea, to the umpire too. They are like all other village teams they are hard t losers
 Brogzn was with us but a shori time but he must have felt that hs struck a hard luck camp when D, came to consciousness after that cot lision- Down in his home in Nep York he will not have any regrets fol E leaving here. beczuse he rsslizss fhsi hs escaped luckily to come out alive
 If there Is any team in this lssgu. that wants to play a crowd fron th'
 hospital vs are open for enszg.

BURNS QUITS TEAM.
Objects to Newspaper Criticism and
 Hikes for Home.

Jimmie Burns feels that he has a grievance and consequently has de- serted the Springfield ball team for the time being at least. The peculiar thing about this action is that his grievance is not against the club or the management. so far as can be as- certained. though it is the club and the management that would natural ly suffer if the team proves to be weakened by his absence. He left yesterday without having acquainted Manager 0'Neil of his intentions.
 Burns, according to the opinion of his fellow players, believes he was too harshly treated in criticisms of the exhibition he gave in Fridays game with Norwich on Hampden park.

Clyde Waters Succeeds Joe Connor as
 Montreal Backstcp.

williamstown. July l7.-Clyde NJ. Waters. the Williams college catcher who recently broke into league base ball, has been playing good ball with Montreal. At present he is laid up suffering from a sprained finger ob- tained in the twelve inning game with Baltimore last Saturday, when he got a foul tip on the index finger of the right hand. Waters is now the regular catcher. as Joe Connor has been sold to Springfield. and Kit tredge is busy trying to get a few new men to mend the weak spots in the team. The manager. however, will be obliged to remain at the re- ceiying end until Waters finger is we'll again.

THE INDEPENDENTS
They Trim the Rockvilles for State
 Championship.

The Independents took all the pride out of the Rockville bunch yesterday when they trimmed them out at Reid vile and could have shut them out had Dubuc been given the support he deserved. The Rockvilles had big crowd of rooters on hand and they did things to the local crowd in the early stages of the game when Rockville had the lead Their smiles and cheers faded away once the locals got really into the game and sad at heart, they took the train for home last night, having lost the championship of the state.
