TABULATED STANDING.
Waterbury With Four Out of Five
 Victories is Still Third.

All the teams stand relatively in the same position as last week with the exception of Springfield and Nor wich, who have changed places. Holy oke, the leader, has exactly the same percentage as the preceding week winning four out of the six games played. Hartford gained nine points on the leaders, winning five out of the seven played. Waterbury gained thirteen points during the week, los- ing but one game of the five played since Sunday Norwich fell back los ing four of the seven games played while Springfield came up the line with rush, having a clean slate for the week with seven victories, four of them over Bridgeport. The latter city did not win a game during the week, although playing seven and New Haven captured two out of six and New London one out of seven Waterbury and Springfield are tied in the greatest number of victories over any one team, each having eleven wins over New London. The latter city has yet to take a game from Springfield. The following is the standing up to date:

WITH THE PooLIsTS.
Springfield Flashed Under the Wire 6
 Close Winner.

The great record made by Spring field the past week, winning every game played and coming with rush on Saturday, placed her in front of Hartford, which had been making strong bids all week for the pools. As it was only four runs separated them when the final scores were in. None of the other teams came any where near getting the prize, being distanced all through the race. Nor wich was the great hitter during the week, having 73 but with all that she only scored 26 runs, and made the most errors of any of the teams. 2s. Springfield, although making five less runs than Hartford got away with the goods. because Hartford made al- most double the number of errors. Springfield had another record, too, making less errors than any other team. The following are the records in the pools In the Connecticut, Ma tional and American leagues:

Again has another week passed without any of the local players be- inb able to get within the charmed cir cle of the 300 mark. Ward made a stab for it by coming up five points from his record of the week before. Barrett occupies the second position. having played in but few games and the coming week will tell whether he should be kept up with the leaders. There were no changes worth mention ing outside of Barrett and Ward. as the others made no perceptlble gains. with the exception of ShIncel. while several dropped back wonderfully, particularly o'Rourke, Swander and McAndrews.

THE AMATEURS.
Fast Games in Both the City and
 Junior Leagues.

Good crowds were in attendance at the games in the City league yes terday and all the games were warm ly contested. The surprise. which Manager Guilfoile had promised, de- veloped when the St Joseph team took the measure of the Pastimes and won the first game of the season. The old rivals. the Brooklyns and the Hills faced each other in a battle royal and when the call of time had sounded the boys from across the bridge had landed high and dry. The MerFimaes and the North Ends had another exciting session which the leaders pulled out of the fire by a hair only.

THE AVERAGES
WILL STILL
Notwithstanding a Change in the Atmospheric Conditions of
 Things in Waterbury.

The sporting writer or thlS paper is no longer the official scorer for the local team. With the records pub lished to-day ends his official career. He has been deposed, although the state official scorer, MT Challenger, recommended him as the one best fitted for the position, for which recommendation the writer is deeply grateful. And this deposition came about without even the courtesy of a notification from the local manage ment. The writer learned the news from an item published in the Bridgeport Post, the state official organ, and at once got into commu- nication with Manager Durant. The latter had no reasons to state why the Democrat writer was relieved of his duties, nor could he give an ex- planation of why discourtesy had been shown the paper he represents. Still the writer can retire with the one pleasing knowledge that it was not for lack of attention to his duties, nor for the accuracy of his records that he has been deposed. The reasons are simple enough.
 The retiring official scorer is the president of the City Amatur league, and because he saw fit to do his duty and prevent, if possible, the efforts to crush that league, his official head falls into the basket. How ungrate- full the president of the City league would have been if he had played the double game. as others have been guilty of, and throw down the little league, which has stuck to him for six years? To save that league and to back up the managers, who had been his faithful co-workers for six years, he tried every possible way to be square in the matter without injuring in any way the chances of the Waterbury base ball team. In fact this paper, and the local man. agement must admit it, has done more to boom base ball than any other paper in the city. The City league fought its battles on the out side. This paper was not used to in- jure one to help the other. The writer is pleased at the stand he took and while he Is relieved of the official task of keeping the records. he will retire knowing that he has not failed in his duties nor has he been un. faithful to the managers of the little league, which will be in existence when others are not heard of in a base ball way.
 But the records will be kept just the same in thie paper, and the thou sands of readers will find every Mon. day evening the same attention paid to detail and to accuracy that has characterized their publication this season and last. The Democrat is published for the people and it will not stoop to the methods adopted by some in the transaction of business
 The readers will always find the base ball news given in just as correct and interesting a manner as hereto. fore and the records will be read and quoted as they have been for years.
