NOT A FAKE
JUMPING STORY
 WAS CORRECT
Eddie Farley and Some of Ills Friends Seem to Have Mis-
 understood Each Other.

The Democrat is not in the habit of publishing fly by night stories or any subject or any person without first Investigating them, and thor. oughly at that. This was the case in the Farley jumping story as pub. lished in this paper. The stories published in these columns are pub lished for the benefit of its many readers. If they are rumors, they are investigated and If any truth is found in them they are printed. If they are contradicted by the party or parties interested, then that con tradiction is given, too. This was the case in the Farley incident, which was not published to iujure base ball or base ball managcments or create disharmony. But when news is afloat that would be Of in- terest to the readers of the Demo- crat, 1t proposes to publish it, no matter If it does not accord with tke ideas of some people who believe that base ball is the only thing in existence and 1t must be held sacred and aloof from criticism or story of any kind that is not favorable.
 Now as to the truth of the Farley incident. The story first came from a close friend of Eddie Farley's, who said that Farley would jump the Waterbury team, provided he re- ceived his semi-monthly pay yester- day, which was pay day. This friend also said that he was going to Morris, N. Y., and that he had pitched his last game against Nor wich on Thursday. We would like to ask Eddie Farley If he told Cap tain Mike McAndrews of his inten- tions or if Frank Fitzpatrick of the Waterbury team knew of his desire to jump. We would like to ask him also If he did not tell one or more in the vicinity of business house that he was going to jump. We would like to ask him also if he was not advised by certain gentlemen in this city, whose names the Democrat does not care to publish, not to kill his record and all his base ball chances by jumping the team at this time. If these stories are not true then
 
 there must be a whole lot of fellow CTS of Ananias in the city. Those were the stories investigated and published yesterday when the rumor became so strong that MT Farley was to jump. When a paper cannot pub fish live news, which Is common talk about the streets. 1t Is time for it to ask the reason why.
 Since writing the above story 1t is learned that MT Farley and Mir Strobel, the principal owner of the Waterbury baseball team, met in con- ference and Farley consented to re- main at least for the present with the team and will twirl in the game to- morrow against Cincinnati. This in- teryiew would seem to disclose the fact that Farley had intended quit ting the team.

SMASHED BALL WELL.

Hartford, Aug. 17.--If those Paper City clouters can only maintain their present swatting stride, the 300 bat ting class will not be able to hold them all soon. Hits and runs were again piled near mountain high yes terday afternoon, nearly burying the luckless Senators from sight and tearing them almost to shreds. Chief interest .centered in the slapsticking of the day and this was all Holyoke with. 16. safe slaps for total of 26 sacks and II tallies. What Hartford did may be summed up briefly as fol- lows: Six separate safeties; one run. The score:

about the schedule. The New Lon- don team has been playing SO r1anv double headers that 1t will finish the season about week ahead of tho other teams. for which the New f-on- don people are thankful. Manager Humphrey has been putting up some good games recently. having whipped all the crack teams. and he has Eot such a lively aggregation together that he decided not to part with any more. Several of the managers mada him offers, but he declined them all. Manager Clarkfn offered hin a biR bunch of money for Reiger, but there was nothing doing. Mir Clarkin said that he would have a few more play- CTS next week. Regarding the defec- ton of players he said the only one whose absence he regretted was Gastmeyer, because he thougbt tho young man had a bright future and he disliked to see his base ball career blighted by his foolishness .n taking poor advice. Just as soon as any Of the men who went away take part fn a game they will be blacklisted.
 Bridgeport played two games in New Haven yesterday and as the sec ond contest was an extra inning af- fair. Secretary James H. 0'Rourke was unable to catch a traia. Man. ager Harold R. Durant of Waterbury acted as secretary and his notes re- garding the forfeited game from a bedroom may furnish him with ma- terial for a magazine story. Man ager Cornelius J. Danaher cans up from New Haven and said this was his last season in base ball. He said he was making money and he had faith in his new manager. Jerry Con- nell. but he did not take such stock in what some of the New Haven pa- pers said about his team.
 Manager Durant did not know about the jumping of Farley until he reached the hotel. Farley pitched on the previous day 60 he was not taken to Norwich yesterday. Whila Manager Clarkin vas being sympa- thized with on account of the mcn who left him and Manager Durant on FarIey's account, Manager Q Neil of Springfield thought he would ike a little sympathy. too. co he said that Hess and Luby had jumped. No ons bit on this.
 Chief Kennedy attended the meet ing and said all Of the regular uraps would be working to-day. He thought that Mir Finn did pretty vel yesterday. although hs made mfs- take when he called a Hartfo.zi run- ner out at second. President Tracy presided at the meeting and ad- journed t ia time for ali the dlrcc- tors to catch their boats

league ought to investigate them selves and see if they have their right names.
 Waterbury won a game yesterday. but lost one as we'll. for the forfeited game by Umpire Kelly up in Hart ford was ordered played over.
 Eddie Farley may not jump now that the story has been made public. but you can bet all your coin he was going to quit and the management owes the Democrat goodly sum if he decides to stay.
 Dan o'Neil will be here on Mon- day with Joe Connor and the rest of tiiAm, and Dan says that Water bury IS about due for a good licking. We'll. perhaps Dan will think differ ently after the game Is over.
 It is said that Bert Grubb, the Holyoke third baseman, will 90 back to the Rochester club of the Eastern league without fall. in fact 1t is re- ported that his recall has already been put through

 The Waterbury club tried to pur- chase Arthur MeCabe of New Lon- don. but Manager Humphrey refused to sell him just yet. Mccabe would be a good man for the locals as just now he is banging the ball at a tre- mendous clip
 We have lost five games more than Holyoke and won three less We have four weeks left In which to close up that gap. but some of the other teams must come to our assist ancs and trim the leaders
 We tackle Hoiyoke and Spring field twice each nsxt week, and if ve can come out of that frscas with four victories. Waterbury may bs able to talk about that psnnznt pole.

THAT GREAT MEETING.
All the Directors Did Was to Take
 Game From Waterbury.

The Hartford Courant gives the following account of the meeting of the directors of the Connecticut league in Hartford last night:
 The directors of the Connecticut League of Base Ball Clubs were in session at the Hotel Garde last night from s:30, o'clock until II o'clock, and most of the time was taken up with talk about deals and trades. The most important action taken was in regard to the game that Umpire Kelly forfeited to Waterbury in this city. It will be remembered that one game was played and Hartford won 1t. The umpire reached the park at $40 o'clock, spent a few minutes in buying tickets for auto mobilists who rode through the big gate and then went out and umpired the game.
 About midnight the Waterbury Re- publican wanted the Associated Press to find out why the Courant had not sent out anything about Umpire Kelly forfeiting a game to Water bury early in the afternoon. h some way the Waterbury players heard that game had been forfeit ed. but no one in Hartford knew anything about 1t. The Waterbury papers credited Waterbury with a victory and Hartford with a defeat. When the matter came up last night at the meeting a picture was drawn of Shamokin Kelly sitting in his room in a hotel with a glass of but termilk in front of him and forfeit ing a game to Waterbury. Manager Durant made a feeble claim for she game. but he had no evidence that amounted to anything and the direc- tors looked upon the matter az joke. It is safe to say that no more games will be forfeited from hotel bedrooms or fire escapes. President Tracy ordered the game to be played in this city on September 10.
 Some of the newspapers about the state reported that Linderman. who is pitching for Hartford. was inelIgi- ble because he was in trouble with the National league. There was nothing to this and the matter did not come up. The two men on the Waterbury team who have been play ing under various names were de- clsred to be all right now. One man played under the name of Ward some days and at other times be called himself Bastisn- The latter is said to bs his name. He paid She of s2s some time ago for violating a rule and he vas forgiven Ryan also worked under the nom ds catch, bus hs rzs said to bs all right.

There will be thousands of visitors in Reading on the night of the fight. as 1t is during the week of national convention there of colored mems fraternal order.
