Demands for an eight hour day, greater pay, longer vacations and pensions for aged and incapacitated clerks were formulated. President E. B.

Phases of tho National Game.

There are two sides to almost any thing, and the national game is far from being an exception. From the standpoint of the baseball enthusiast ''our town has club in the league. From the standpoint of the profession al player the league has a club in each city. In the heart of the baseball pa friot our club Is band of heroes, going out to conquer other cities and uphold our honor. In the mind of the mar with soul so dead they are stock com. panies-properly financed. To the ex. cited partisans at game each player Is an earnest contestant for his side TO the man who is from foreign parts it would be an important facta that they are hired men, employees wit} salaries set by companies that all be long to the same corporation, and that they get their pay for playing and no. for winning. To the public it is |. game. To the president of the com pany 1t may be good or bad per rmance.'-Ccntury.

AUSTRALIANS FAST 40 YARDS.
B. R. Day Covers Distance in 47 9-10
 Seconds. a New Record.

Word has come from Australia of a new record for the 40 yards at tue Claremont sports. The time was IT, BIO seconds and the runner was B. R. Day, formerly of Ireland and yet hold- CT of the Irish amateur record for the quarter. After the race was over ihe course was surveyed and found not only to be the full distance. but it was exactly Al yards foot. Of course 1t Is hard to calculate what difference the four feet would make in the tim ing. but on a rough estimate Day nay be set down as doing the two fur longs in something like slaxey Longs record-47 4-5 seconds.
 This race of Days vas the only remarkable one for the same distance since the visit of the late l.. F. Meyers to Australia just twenty years ago. In a professional match with Samuels a Maori. the American was conced- ing eleven, yards. but s=mue.s won by about a foot ln 4T ::-5 seconds. There Is hardly any doubt of Days record being genuine as to the time. for be ran the quarter In 50 4-5 sec onds on q graS course before leav- Ing for the Antipodes.

BASEBALL NOTES.

A season on the bleacners won't change the color of an Upson, Single ton X Co s13.20 blue serge suit.
 New London tomorrow.
 Beaten out by a nose yesterday.
 Cooney Rice has arrived and Tom McNellis has departed.
 sam Kennedy has been released by New London and signed by New Ha- ven. In all probability welcome change for Sam.
 If New London continues to re- lease or sell the best players, the fran chise will not be worth the paper it is written on. O'Rourke and Finn are about the only players left now.
 Waterbury has done SO much knocking on New London that the team is coming here tomorrow and with it is coming few crazy sports who are going to bet on the Whalers taking a fall out of the locals. It is to langh.
 Raub has gone. his release coming last night. He has taken a new lease on life however by signing up with Hartford and perhaps he will. like some others take fall out of Water bury later on in the season.
 Eddie Farley was in the eoincid- ence column yesterday. He lost his first game and made his first error of the season. He tried hard to staye on that defeat.
 Of all the noisy, tslkative crowds. the Hartford bunch took the cake yesterday. They were like a lot Of parrots on the bench and it was a good thing for them that Shamokin Kelly was 90 eonsiderate. Kelly says that the Hsrtfords are all crazy and that he is crazy too for holding an in- dicator in this league.
 The umpires are going to have a heart to heart talk with Jim O'Rourke if they don't get that increase of pay that was voted to them at the last meeting of the magnates Loosen up there Jim or you will have a storm cloud down your way.

 The English at Oxford had a chance to see q real. live game on Thursday last. The American Rhodes scholars at Oxford beat the all London baso ball team by a score of 15 to II.
 
 The Clevelands not only played good. scientific ball at boston, bus they played clean ball and ball w5ths out any noise. crazy coaching. whieh is sometimes mistaken for pepper.
 Two former Atlanta catchers hslp> ed defeat New York Americans lsss week. One was Clarke or Cleveland. and the other, Archer Of Detroit.
 Kid Elberfeld has been doing some hard hitting of late, but not putting them in safe spots. Oddly enough his stinging smashes> through the air have gone straight to fielders. while he has been getting to first on slow jumpers to the infield.
 It is like trying to smooth the ics or adding another hue unto the rain- bow to speak of chase's fielding stunts. but of late young Hal has been throwing in some extra bits. There has been more sureness to his play than heretofore. But like the rest of his mates he is hitting below par.
 Jim McGuire is the fourth manager the Boston Americans have had thls season.
 The attendance at the s.x New York Chicago games-three in New York and three in ChIcago-was not fsr one way or the other from iz0.00o. That will at least buy moth balls to put the furs in this summer

Waterbury Stands Third in Batting and Sixth in Fielding and Has

Rising of Springfield is still the league leading batsman, and the not able thing about his hitting is the high average he maintains. His club makes Luby and Standard follow him. All three are batting better than they ever did before, and it would not be surprising to see them tumble little, indeed Standard fell off quite little last week. There are seventeen players in the list, some coming and going every week. Here

Before he was assigned to duty at the field the city officials were often troubled by the action of young rowdies, who defied the author ity of the regular police force. Now, all is changed. The mere presence of the pugilist is sufficient to awe the most daring of the rowdies. Notwithstanding his 4S years, 220 pounds weight and the fact that he is a proud grandpa, Jake looks like an athlete to-day.
