 Not yet. but soon. says Archie Lord in speaking of his purchase of the Wa terbury base ball team.
 The rain saved New Haven from d defeat yesterday, for we were going to repeat the dose we gave Bridge port the day before. -- In the retirement of George Strobel from the ownership of the local team, a pretty good fellow has given up the fight.

 Under the new regime Waterbury will take out a gilt edge lease on life and the players will no longer be lost in the mysteries that have. so long shrouded the game Archie Lord is popular as we'll as good business man and should make good.

 Duke Farrell, the former Holyoke catcher, who signed win Norwich the first of the week is out of the game now with a split finger. He will be unable to play for a fortnight and has returned to his home in Bristol, Conn.

 Springfield is going down the line at great speed, while her sister city is climbing hihger and widening the dis tance between them. Dan O'Neil will have to do something soon or be will take his place with Waterbury.
 Tickets for the City league. games are in the hands of the managers and are meeting with a ready sale.

 So many questions have been asked about that HOlyoke and Hartford game as regards the pools that again ] we tell the story as told before Those runs made in that exhibition game cannot he counted. and for this reason: The two teams started tc play a regular game. and did mana gp to get in a part of one inning There was no scoring done in that inning 60 that neither can be credited with run. The exhibition that foIlowel the forfeiture of the game was not an exhibition. but a farce. and was stop ped because it became So farcical Il would not be fair to the holders oi other teams than HoIyoke 10 give H0l- yoke two chances fo score runs Neither scored in the regular game and therefore 10 runs can or win bs counted in the Democrat pools
