tFrom the Indian Orchard Echo.) FROM CONNECTICUT.
A Clipping from the Hartford Times,
 With Explanations.

Wno are Interested III Bl-S6Rt0 le0gn0 matters, will be interested in the fol. lowing, which appeared in the Man. chester. Ct.. items of the Hsrtford Times under date of January 10th :-, Manchester, January 10. As has been already forashatlowed in The Times, the Manchester Base- ball association. at a meeting of the stockholdeTs Thursday evening. voted tn give up baseball, and the directors have been authorized to dispose of the property of the association.
 Local readers of The Times read with mut h interest the article in the issue of Thursday afternoon. reprinted from the Indian Orchard Echo, which stated that the Bi.State league does not want the Rockville nine in its league. The Echo expresses the at. titude of the Bi-State league toward the hill-town team, and states that the league has not been maintaining so fast team as the Rockvilles, and would not care to incre ease is ex- penses. Right here the Echo makes n statement which may not fe clear to readers elsew here, but is plain enough to Manchester people. It says:
 There are Q number of other arguments why Rockville should mot be admitted. and there are very teM alguments why they should
 ''What these other argun. ents' are, the Echo discreetly refrains from printing. Possibly the Echo has been hearing things
 "Does this mean that the Bi-State league has heard something about the Rockville arrangements way of doing business, par ticularly with Manchester? Perhaps word has been waited to the Bi-State about the $172 which Rockville claimed was due, yet refused to sue Manchester for, and give an impartial court chance to decide. It has become known that fficers of the Manchester Baseball association officially requested the Rockvilles to bring suit for the $172, but the letter was not answered Yet the Rockville directors, at least so1ne of them, insisted at the last peace conference that this $172 was due and should be paid. Apparently, the directors were not satisfied with break. irg up the Labor day game in Man chester before 5000 people on the color line pretext, objecting to uhe colored man. although they had ple- viously played with niue eolored meP, and have done so since They profess to believe that SIP is due them from the receipts of the game they abruptly terminated.
 "The personnel If Manchests r's representation at the peace confei . ence' (which failed) speaks for it. self; it will take good deal of arRu- ment from Rockville people to con. vince Hartford county that Billy Cheney, Charles A. Balch and Will liam S. Hyde were asking anything unfair in baseball or in anything else in behalf of Manchester.
 'One member of the local associ. ation said today that he would not ke surprised at all if the Rockvilies hss2 broken with Manchester and now can not get into the Bi.State leaRuaN effectively burning their bridges: it would be characteristic of Rockville foresight and the way the Rockville management does things, he said. Continuing. he stated that the Bi State league, if it does business with Rockville next summer, will have the job of it's life in keeping the Rock vile team on the field for nine in- nings, unless it is ahead; Manchester WAS unable to do it, for the Rock villes left the diamond in three different games. Unionyille, last season, had the same experience Pretexts are easily found, such ns 6 pitchers color, the shade of his hair. or the length of his nose. e.''
 In justice to the Rockville people, this paper would like to explain that by "the number of other arguments why Rockville should not be admit ted" it did not reff r to those mention. ed in the above item. It had to do with the fact that the trip to Rock. vile is an out of the way one to all but Stafford, that Rockville plays four or five games a week while these teams play oDe, aud that with them in the league the race would become 8 runaway match so that everybody would lose interest and thus kill the league, at least for these towns, for Those especial benefit it WAS formed.
