BASE BALL NOTES.

ven at Holyoke, Bridgeport at Water bury.
 New Haven here tomorrow.
 What parody on base ball that was.
 The owners of the team should get wise to one fact, that as long as they stand for such exhibitions as that of yesterday they are hurting themselves more than anyone else. l If there is such a thing as a boy | colt going the rounds it looks very much as though the local players were boycotting some of the pitch CTS. Take that game of yesterday, for instance.
 New Haven with Frank Fitzpat- rick as captain will put in an ap- pearance here tomorrow, and Wa terbury ought to retrieve her de. she will beat New Haven, and beat her well, and the players should be on to their jobs without any further comment.
 Duke Farrell, the catcher released in Holyoke. has been taken on by Norwich, joining the Connecticut team yesterday.
 Pitcher Badgley of Trinity has been released by Hartford. Man ager J. H. Clarkin is reported to ba in search of big league firing line phenom to add to his staff.
 The records of the Norwich twirl- CTS to date follow: Plank, won 13, lost 5 Halligan, won II, lost II; Tuckey, won 10, lost &; Queen, won l, lost ?; Duffey, won O, lost l. Pitcher Whitley of the leaders, who has been laid up several days with cramps, was able to be out yes terday. but did not don his uniform. He will join his mates to-day. Yerkes, released a few weeks ago by Waterbury, has bobbed up all right in Nashville, and won his first game for that club against Birming- ham by score of to 2. He let | the losers down with five hits.
 Toronto has sold Tim Flood to the St Paul club of the American asso- ciation. President Powers refused to lift his suspension of the player which prevents him from playing again in the Eastern league.
 It comes via Waterbury that Ar thur Nichols was sold to the Nash vile, Tenn. club of the Southern league by Waterbury for s750 and did not buy his releasee Out of the sale price Nichols is said to hays re- ceived s250.-Springfeld Union.
 Hartford is a lucky bunch as we'll as hustling bunch of ball players. Look at that win yesterday from the leaders without trying. Neverthe- less Umpire Murray is the worst thing that ever came down the pike as an umpire, although he may have been correct yesterday.
 Another offer for a hall field has been made to the City Amateur league. Joseph Corr proposed yes terday to build two diamonds out on his farm in Cheshire, which ad- joins the trolley lines. At ten days notice he would complete both of them and would not charge the leage one cent. This offer may be consid- cred later.
 A win for the next four days. as all are home contests, should send us up the line once more. What is the use of dropping dead until you are compelled to? Forget all about your recent disagreements and get into the game and the fans will be there just as they always were.
 You know what Senator Judson said in one of his political campaign speeches, God hates a quitter." Let that motto be taken to heart and studied well. and if 1t is the Water bury team should go through the season we'll up in the race and the owners and management should rear a good bonus on their investment.
 The past Sunday or two Thomas Ward and his Pots and Pans ball nine were remarkably scarce. and the secret came out last evening. They were practicing for an encoun- ter with Sayles's Crescents, to take place a week from next Sunday. Captain Ward calculates upon hav- ing most of the old nine of the Pots and Pans. and 1t goes without saying that he expects to lick the Crescents from the Hill street diamond to Naugatuck. He has not issued his formal challenge yet. but as that part of the business will not take as long as it does for the Connecticut Co to get possession of the new troll ley line, there is plenty of time in which to do 1t.
 Just to show his appreciation of their good work in the game against Springfield. Monday. Manager James H. Clarkin. of the Hartford baseball team. took the whole squad to Gus Koch's after the game and treated them to as fine a dinner as the chef could prepare The boys enjoyed ftI and 90 did Mr Clarkin The team has been playing good ball of late and the manager. with his well known generosity. has not been slow to let his appreciation be known toI them Last Friday evening after the victory In Waterbury.
