 Manager Durant telephoned from New London last evening to Proprietor George Strobel to send over trunk by the fast express this morning so that he could carry back all the coin he will get at New London to-day. The schedule for the City league games tomorrow Is as follows: Wash ington Hills vs St Josephs at 12:30, Brooklyns and the North Ends at 2:15 and the Merrimacs and the Pastlmes at o'clock. There might be change in the standing at the conclusion of the games.
 Many people have asked if Brown college has been beaten this season. Brown college was defeated once by the All Collegiates but she has trim med every other college team she has met. She played Yale on May 15 in New Haven thirteen inning game which ended in tie 2 and ?.
 Down Bridgeport way they are cracking up the big crowd that was present on Memorial day at the morn ing game. There was something over the seven hundred attendance mark at that game and if that Is anything to crow over then keep on growing until the bell rings.
 New Britain or Meritien would nave drawn bigger crowd ten times over than was present at the game in New London on Memorial day in the morn- ing. That city will be q burden and a intolerance to this league before the season IS over unless there is a change mighty quick.
 With hye teams in the first division in this league the race has begun to get interesting. Any one of the five is liable to be in the lead before anoth- CT week has gone by. Waterbury is still plugging along, however, and ex- poets to be on top for some time to come.
 William "Mickey" Finn was sus- pended so one report has 1t. after the Norwich game on Memorial day. He was also fined for indifferent playing. Yet he played in the game yesterday and batted like trooper. They can't afford to lose many good players from the Whalers.
 Holyoke Is considered by good judges of base ball to be the best team in this league at the present time. Waterbury strongly disputes that con sideration and on Monday when the Holyokes come here they are going to bring along a crowd of packers to support their claim.
 The City league games ought to at tract a big crowd tomorrow at all the games out in Rockville. The teams are lined up against each ether in such a manner that the standing must change and some of the leaders may be depos- ed. Every team has been strengthened during the rest they have had.
 The record of Robert Peterson. the crack pitcher of the Middletown Ath- letics. up to the present time is a re- markable one. In the three Middlesex County league games he has pitched, he has allowed only seven hits and mas struck out forty-eight men, nineteen of which were in the first game. He is. without doubts the premier twIrler in the 'Tin Can" league.
 Pitcher Luby of Springfield made a record for this league yesterday when he shut out New Haven without a hit. Not only that. there was but one man to reach first base and that on an error by Jimmy Burns. The outfsld backed up Luby we'll having thirteen of the put outs.
 -Shamokin'' Kelly was up against the Holyoke bunch again yesterday In Hartford and Dolan was fined and put out Of the game. Tommy Dowd just escaped being chased by working the ''squeeze- play. That Holyoke crowd dies hard and we must belp to bury them on Monday.
 The race between the poolists this week is a warm one and the games to- day win be watched win .nte7eSt. Springfield and Hartford are the lead ers. Springfield has .he better chance for she plays at New Haven tO-d1y. while Hartford is ct fIolyoke.
 Waterbury will not he at home when Ringing Brothers eircss comes here on June 21. The locals are scheduled to play at Holyoke unless it can h. ar ranged to transfer the gSme. Last cir GUS day there was a big attendance and the one coming should drzvs cut even a bigger crowd
