DUTCH CARTER HERE Comes Up from New York With Captain Case to Help Tad
 Jones Coach. PITCHING BY MACHINE Purchase of One Is Doubtful-Bat.
Purchase of One Is Doubtful-Bat. terics Are Developing
 .el Well.

Captain George C. Case, Yale 1894. and Dutch Carter, who graduated a year later, came up from New York yesterday to assist Captain Tad Jones in coaching this years team. They were the first of the graduate coaches to arrive.
 The special feature of the day was a pitching machine sent by some com pany which thinks Yale is weak in this department of the game. The machine pitched curves, ins and outs, straight balls, high balls and low balls. The speed was unparalleled.
 Tad Jones was invited to catch to the machines pitching but declined with thanks. If one of the batsmen was fortunate enough to hit ball. on the rebound 1t struck a netting in front of the machine, which protected the man who ran it
 The machine was only installed as an. experiment and it Is doubtful if 1t will be purchased. Yale's pitchers. Merritt, Van Week, Cushing and the others are dveloping and will give the members of the team all the hitting practice they need before long.

Trudo got fairly good lead about the mid dle of the game, but was unable to hold it for Kennedy, by brilliant play ing. succeeded in overhauling him, and from that time on seemed to have 1t on his opponent.
 MT. Trudo was playing in consider able hard luck toward the close.
 The room was packed to the doors, a number coming down from Hart ford. Score:

New Haven and Waterbury Tied for Lead in State Bowling
 League.
HARTFORD A GAME BEHIND
Brooks, of Mcriden, Makes His Debut and Immediately Takes Lead,
 Averaging 202.3.
STATE LEAGUE STANDING.

The finish of the State Bowling league promises to be one of the closest and most exciting in the history of the league. There now remain but six weeks and New Haven and Waterbury are tied for first place. Hartford is but one game behind and Bridgeport just distinguishable from the premier posi- tion. Meriden and New Britain are hopelessly out of the running and will finish In fifth and sixth positions re- spectfully.
 The field of bowlers in this city of- fers. If the present team is not strong enough, at least a dozen bowlers whom no team in the State league can touch. The locals chances however for the championship look bright. The present ilNe are easily strong enough to win the majority of the games still to be played. Janswiek, Collett, Charlie Johnson and Beecher are all star bowl CTS and with another pin artist, Beech CT. Morgan, Swift or Shiper. ought to be able to slowly pull away from Water bury, Hartford and Bridgeport and land the trophy for the Elm City. If fifth strong player Is necessary, Huber, Mix or Buchter are suggested
 The fight for high single Is getting to be an exciting one. Watt at present has the best chance for the honor hay ing an average of 1889. Johnson of the local five has chance for the pre-. mier position, but he will have to roll pretty high to defeat Jimmie Watt. A new man. Brooks of Meriden, heads the average list, having rolled GOT in three games. with Janswick second. Pratt of Hartford and Beecher of this city increased their high individual string Tuesday night, although in the case of the former 1t was hardly mo- tlceable.
 Next week New Haven will play with the tailenders atNNew Britain and ought | to take all three games Hartford will play at Waterbury and Bridgeport at Meriden. The results of the Hartford Waterbury game will be awaited with great interest

PLAY BRISTOL HIGH N. H. H. s. Basketball Team Hopes to Win Return Match
 This Evening.
SAKE OUT OF THE GAME
Alderman to be Subslituted-Contest Scheduled With Ansonia Five
 Cancelled.

The New Haven High school team is going up to Bristol tonight to play the fast Bristol High school quintet. This will certainly be a very good game, as both teams are very fast. This will make the second game played between these two teams. The first game was played at the Anderson gym nasium in this city January %, and was won by the local high school team after a very exciting game by the score of 32 to 24. The Bristol quintet, how ever, is going into the game tonight to win, and will play like fiends to ac- complish this end
 The Bristol team expected an easy victory here in the first game, but were sadly disappointed. Their defeat. ad. ministered by the local High school team, was great surprise, as they had previously to this won fifteen games Straight. They have regular paid coach and are out for the state cham pionship. If they lose the game to- night. 1t will spoil their chances To a great extent.
 The New Haven High school team will be greatly handicapped by the fact that they will play on strange floor. However, they will strive to win this second game with the Bristol five also. , Sake. the crack right forward of the local team, will not be able to play, on account of an injury received last Sat urday in the High school alumni game. He played a star game against Bristol here, throwing eight baskets. Sake was protested against by the Bristol High school management, who claimed him 10 be Hogan, entered under the name of Sake. His absence will be a great blow to the local team, for his work has always been the most pro- nounced.
 Alderman, who had been debarred from playing. will probably go upswith the team. This has not yet been made certain. If he does go up, his pres ence will help immensely, and he will play right forward. in place of Saxa. Before being prevented from playing, he played a star game { guard and forward. and if given chance tonight will probably repeat his good work
 Six men will go to Bristol to repre- sent the local high school leaving the city on the $40 train. The probable lineup for the teams are as follows:
 N II. H. S. Bristol. Frankel .................... Coleman
 Left Forward.
 Alderman ......,.... TreadWell tCapt.
 Right Forward.
 Dustin (Capt). t)...,............ Steele
 Center.
 Connolly, Fraser ..-............. White Left Guard
