BASE BALL NOTES.

Jim O'Rourke said after the game
 that. Farley was without doubt as good a pitcher as was in the league, and the future looked bright for | him.
 Bill Rogers says he will win to- day because he sat beside good luct; coming in from the game yesterday The result of that game will be awaited with interest.
 The City league games tomorrow should attract more than the usual crowds. There are three good con- tests and as the race is nearly even between five of the teams the con- tests will be bitterly fought.
 The suspense that hung over that ball field yesterday until the last man was out could be clipped up in blocks. so intense was it. Farley was not the only one that wanted to see record made.
 The City league games tomorrow will bring together the Merrimacs and St Josephs in the first game, the Brooklyns and Pastimes in the sec ond and the Washington Hills and the North Ends in the third. Tho rejuvenated St Josephs may turn tho tables on one of the leaders.
 That record of twenty-eight men in nine innings will stand for some time to come. It was bound to come sooner or later and it is just as well that Eddie Farley made the record with the secretary of the league watching him.
 There is some talk of Bastian, alias Ward, quitting the team unless certain matters are arranged to his liking. Better be careful there, you people in charge, and don't break up things now for the sake of a few pennies.
 The eyes of Jim O'Rourke watched Barrett like a hawk yesterday. Whoever said he was world beat CT with the stick?" said the genial secretary. Barrett only smiled and the wool was pulled over a little more closely.
 You won't be able to stand Hart ford if she wins few more games. Already the pennant pole has been picked out and they say it will be placed on the dome of the Capitol. Perhaps Waterbury will shattec those aspirations before many weeks have flown by.
 All is ready for the great game be- tween the Crescents and the Pots and Pans on Hill street tomorrow after noon. It will be the greatest non- professional game of the season. h. stead of the umpire there will be a board of justices of the peace, three men of large minds and conceptions, and there will be two or three con stables to preserve the peace. Cap tain Sayles expects to take care of hls Crescents and add some laurels to their brows, while Captain Ward of the Pots and Pans is sanguine of great victory.

 Doyle, Mccormick, McCann, Me- Chesney, Dougherty. Connors. etc. Is it any wonder that the Germans of Milwaukee are proud of their gallant baseball team?-Milwaukee Senti- mel.
 The Brooklyn Superbas may be sent on a training trip to California next spring. The recent fine work of the team has convinced the man. agement that 1t would be a big draw ing card all over the country if 1t continues to play the same article of baseball for the remainder of the season.
 Sammy Hope. who with Harry Jope formed the Hope and Jope bat tery with the New Haven club a few seasons ago. is to be given trial in the box by the Philadelphia Am ericans. Hope has been pitching winning ball this season with the Newark Atlantic league club.
