BASE BALL NOTES.

We look like the real goods these days.
 Those stingers of Barrett's had a gold finish to them.
 Tommy Dillon claims the honor of finding our new center fielder, and if he did Tommy should be rated as good scout.
 There was snap and dash about the playing yesterday and the day before that speaks well for the fu- ture. We ought to come pretty near overhauling those two leaders. Barrett was all to the mustard yesterday both in fielding and with the stick. Five chances and all ac- cepted and two three sackers, and both of them without a blemish, is good debut.
 The Company c base bali team ought to win the military champion ship down in Mantle next week There is a lot of good players on the team and the other hines should be pie for them.
 The Colored Giants, who appear here tomorrow, are the liveliest bunch of colored players that was ever seen in this city. They are the Jack Johnsons of the base ball world.
 Mink Cunningham announced to some of his Hartford friends that he was through with base ball forever He said he had bad temper and il did not do. it any good to play base ball. The pitcher was very sorry that he struck Rothfuss and bit his ear.
 It is lively scrap for second place in the American league.
 Fred Clarke objected to the pres. ence of photographer on the bench yesterday, and O'Day chased the pic ture man. Then he chased Murphy the ground keeper, from the New York bench.
 Jimmy Morgan has been madc manager of the Montreal team and Malachi Kittredge, the veteran catcher, released. Another veteran to get his release yesterday was Tom Corcoran. whom the New York National club cast ardift.
 The New York Americans yester. day bought two pitchers. One i: Manning of the Williamsport club said to be the best twirler in the Fri State league. The other is Arthur Hillebrand, who has been on the Washington reserve list for severa years, but who has steadily refused to play. It is said. however, that a representative of the New York clut talked with the former Princeton star recently and fixed up things SC that he agreed to play with the hill toppers.
 Manager McCloskey of the S Louis Nationals has been suspende, for remarks addressed to Umpir, Klem.
 Joe Connor returned from New York yesterday afternoon and re ported to Manager o'Neil just befor, the game was over. The Springfield manager said Connor would pla, with Springfield for the rest of. tn. season.
 Norwich has secured a catchei named Mccarthy. from Boston. H. will relieve Bridges and will play oI Sunday in the game at Steeplechas, | Island. He was recommended bl Manager Doe of Providence.
 While some of the critics in thi league have sarcastic comments tt make about the Hartford team. it i doubtful If the league would surviv without Hartford. Most of tn, clubs get enough here to pay thei l expenses. Manager O'NeiI tool enough money away from here yes terday to buy a National leagu, pitcher. courant. The Independents and the Colore, Giants will meet on the Reidyill grounds tomorrow and the contes should be a warm one. The Giant beat the Rockvilles yesterday so yo' can imagine what kind of a team is.
 If we could take all the bad leg in the team and make them into couple of good ones, it would mak, Herman Schincel happy to be tn purchaser of both. That chap eer tainly needs rest. They say that Skelly kicked be cause he could not get enough to d and therefore took his departure From the way he showed up here ii his first game. it looked as thougl a hard day's work would hav | caused his demise.
 It would not be surprising to se some of the locals. who have bee wearing Waterbury uniforms sine the season opened or a part of il sent to the tall timbers shortly There Is some dead wood on the tear that Is not needed at the pressn |
