to trap ball, to get player to lead off first base. The angry feelings. so evident to the spectators had not sub sided. when they reached the dressing room and there 1t was reported that the manager informed the players, if any of them were dissatisfied with the way in which things were being con- ducted, they could hand up their meal tickets and retire.
 Captain Frank Fitzpatrick stepped to the plate at once and registered as one of those ready to retire. His re- tirement was reluctantly accepted. for with all his bad plays, Fitzy is one. good, heady ball player. For the past few weeks however, he has been made the butt of redicule and insults from some of the fans, because of ais misplays and he decided, that before he would resent, physically, some of the jeers,' he would cease to be member of the Waterbury team.
 Big George Lachance and Mike Lucia followed in Captain Fitzpat- rick's footsteps and gave notice of their intentions to quit. The big fel- low has not been sticking as well as he should of late, but as q fielding first baseman, he has them all beaten mile. There is no doubt that La chance can do better work with the bat, but this series of misunderstand ings and the bckerings and quarrels have knocked all his batting interest sky high, and in fact those same things have demorallzed the whole team.
 Lucia has been the change catcher and he has been good man at that, and in many tight place he has been called on to step to the plate to pull the team out of the hole and generally he has made good. They have been three stars in their way, hut no team can play baseball with unpleasantness so plainly evident.
 This will place the team in even worse predicament than it was before and Manager Durant said last night that for the present. Bastian would cover second, Murphy would go to third and Edmundson, the new pitch CT. would cover the first bag. The manager also stated that the base ball association was ready and willing to purchase players and would make an effort to do so within the next few days. Manager Durant's statement last night. relative to his purposes was as follows:
 What the public wants Is results. The Waterbury team has not played the ball it ought to. even taking into consideration the unbroken string of. accidents which has hung to us from the opening day. The club Is high. priced and should he weli near the top but some of the players have lacked a proper fighting spirit and have taken the loss of games and money too much like joke. It has all jared me because, after all, l am the only loser. but I have tried to make the easiest way the hest. However. it Is evident that a radical change is necessary and I shall make it. We can't he any worse of and it may be the turning point One thing is certain, If it is possible to buy players at any price within reason we shall have them. be- cause the company has the money and will spend it. \ poor team Is a poor investment. make no promises about what players are coming. The re- suit will speak for itself"

MIGRANTS HOME RUN.
Hughey Jennings Recalls Great
 Baseball Feat.

Hughey Jennings, who has put through 8 few startling plays nlm- self, says the greatest baseball play he ever saw was pulled of by John McGraw and Willie Keeler in game in Baltimore back in the sos.
 Unlike most of the great plays one calls to mind" says Jennings, "this wasn't a fielding stunt, but piece of base running. Keeler was on first base and McGraw at bat. John shot neat single into left field and Al Selbach--we were playing against the old Washington club that day-loafed bit on 1t, seeing Keeler was sure to make third with ease, but expecting him to pull up there. Willie, instead of pulling up, put on full head of steam, ana before Joyce had received the ball, was virtually over the plate. Nc Graw never stopped at first, but kept on to second to draw throw that would enable Keeler to score.
 "Selbach's loaf was duly recogniz- ed and like a flash, John guessed that Keeler was going home. He never hesitated at second, but dash ed for third, arriving there just as Joyce was gathering in Selbach's throw out on the grass. Right here McGraw did some quick thinking. He remembered that Joyce had a bad arm and thought the catcher would not be expecting throw. Without pulling up at third at all, he set sail for the plate. His reason ing turned out to be right. The dust from Keeler's slide was just lifting as McGraw dived for the plate, beating the throw on close decis- ion. There were two runs scored on what should have been only a single, though the scorers had to give McGraw credit for a home run. of course. It was that sort of ball that won pennants for Baltimore.

 Hartford. Conn. June 13.-C. l.. Westfall of New York, by success fully fighting his way through the finals in the New England cham pionship tennis tournament has earned the right of again facing Theodore R. Peil for the cup and title. Yesterday afternoon in the match with George H. Kettle of Yale the New Yorker captured three straight sets. He was in splendid form and his victory was In a large measure attributable to his smash ing style of play.
 The finals in the doubles were characterized by fine tennis. Peil. of New York and Goss of Providence won from Inman of New fork and Howard of Hartford in three straight sets The service of In- man was excellent. but his chief weakness was in handling high lobs. He netted a great many balls at crit ical stages. Pell and Gross were steady and made few cratic plays.

 Saturday, June 13-New Haven at Waterbury, Hartford at Meriden,, New Britain at Springfield 1.-two games) Holyoke at Bridgeport (two games.)
 Pitcher Jack Fraser, the former Holy Cross twirler, who started out with Hartford. has been released by the Portland (Me) club. Frasers arm has gone back on him and he has been
 
 unable to do justice to himself.
 Heine Gastmeyer is hitting the ball hard for Jersey City, although his fielding is of low average. In a game at Providence Wednesday he had three errors but made up for them with a triple and two singles.
 There is no doubt about it that if either one of the three players, La chance, Fitzpatrick or Lucia want to get on in this league again, they can he accommodated on some other team. Perhaps change of air would be better too. . If there is a city in the league that has more loyal fans than right here in Waterbury, we would like to see it. Through all the adversities the fans have stuck. True they have been unkind at times, but you couldn't blame them much.
 There ought to be some good players floating around out in that Tri-State league. Not all of the busted Union league caught on and a trip out that way might effect something. Something must be done and right away. too, or we will get where Bridgeport is.
 Tommy Leahy. who has been catching for the Indianapolis team, returned to his home in New Haven yesterday. tommy injured his leg and as he will not be able to get in shape for some weeks, he asked for his release and got 1t. He may be taken on by New Haven.
 The faculty committee on athletics of Phillips-Exeter academy has an- nounced that hereafter no student who plays on any organized baseball team during the summer vacation shall be eligible to represent the academy in any branch of athletics whatever until he has received spe- eisl permission from the committee on athletic eligibility.
 IL cost the Holyoke club s35 in presents to players for Tuesdays vic- tory over Springfield. Pitcher Laven- der received s25 for winning. Bill Massey got the customary fve-spot for hitting the ball over the fence. and Al Boucher received the same sum for his three-bagger in the first inning. which he stretched into four bases with the aid of an error.
 As the Pittsburg club left New York last night and comes to Boston for a series. Paddy O'Connor expects to get 8 chance to call on old cronies in Springfield Sunday. Paddy will come up tonight and will stop at the Russell hotel to talk things over with his former mates. Manager Dan 0'Neil was counting on a trip to New York this week to see the peerless one but couldn't make connections.

Three of the Leading Players on
 Local Team Retired From Game Last Night.

The dissatisfaction and the wrang- .lings that have undoubtedly been the cause of the slump of the Waterbury team, came to climax last night, when three of the locals were dropped or rather they turned over their uni forms and quit. Manager Durant during the game yesterday had some words with several of the players, over the bad breaks they were mak- ing and among them was George La chance, who objected to being called

NEW BRITAIN STILL WINNING.

New Britain, June 13.-New Brit ain continued yesterday afternoon it's unbroken chain of victories by defeating Meriden, 3 to 1. It was fine game on the part of the local players. The new Cuban covered third base in great shape and if any of his predecessors had been around to watch him, they would have fainted to see how the ball speeded to first from the hand of the new player.
 r Rufiange was in good shape for the game and several times caught Meriden men trying to steal. His temper, however, was not as even as usual and when strike was called on him, which he considered ball, he threw down the bat in disgust and was promptly fined $5 by the ump. The score: R.H.E.

THE farmers have been slow to move
in the matter OF improving roads, and
have been content with the roads as
they have existed since white men laid
them out. There will be more sudden
change of mind among the farmers.
They now have daily mail and will sadly
miss its wonderful convenience. But
they will miss it if they do not begin the
work of making good roads, for Uncle
Sam has set his foot down and declared
that ii the roads were not kept up as
they should be there would be no daily
delivery Of mails over them, or through
them, perhaps, better describes it in GER
tain parts of the year. It costs the gov
eminent large sum of money to keep
up this delivery, and it would seem
equitable that farmers should be willing
to assist to the extent of spending few
dollars in good roads.

The Georgia railroad commission has
ruled that newspapers in the state may
accept transportation in exchange for
advertisements. This decision is of par
ticular interest in view of the ruling of
Judge Kohlsaat of Chicago in the Mo-

declined to enter into any contracts with
newspapers on the basis of exchange of
advertising for transportation, but this
is the only road under the control of the
Georgia state laws that has taken this
stand.
