Powell Reports and With Him Comes
 WestIake.

Springfield, May 2s.-After watch ing the ponies go in New York for a couple of days, Outfielder Westlake and Pitcher Powell joined the Spring field Ponies yesterday, arriving too late to get into uniforms before the game. Both will be seen in action this afternoon, when New Haven will be the visiting team on Hampden park, unless it should develop that Powelfs finger is too sore to allow him to work. He injured finger in his last game >as a member of the Baltimore Union league team Satur- day.
 Cy Miller worked out with his for mer mates yesterday. but is not figured on as Springfield possibility again. Manager O'Neil now has q staff of five pitchers, Parker, Luby, Beard, Powell and McKenna. If Powell lives up to the promises made for him, the Pony staff will be a strong one and the team will be capable of giving Hartford and every other club a stiff run for the cham pionship. Jimmie Burns will be given another fortnight of rest if possible, as his ankle still bothers him.

 New Britain, May 2S.--Manager Paige of the New Britain baseball team has le. Captain Connaughton go. He leaves to-day for his old home in Boston. McEnroe, the new man, formerly of Waterbury, will play third base.
 P. E. Treat, a new pitcher, ar rived to-day from New Jersey. He has played in the Union league in Baltimore.
 John Burns, the second baseman, will succeed Connaughton as cap tain of the team. Burns has acted as captain of the Dayton, O., team of the Interstate league, also the North Angeles team of the Pacific Coast league and for two years was captain of the Toledo team of the Northern association. Connaugh- ton was dissatisfied because he had to play at third base instead of his regular position at second base.
 Connaughton is a heady player but he could not play on third base because his arm is not much better than John M. Henry's. Twenty years ago or so, Connaughton played on an independent team that was managed by Ex-Mayor Sullivan of Hartford. Manager Tom Dowd was also one of the former mayors pro- teges in the national game. It is be- lieved that the changes will add greatly to the strength of the team. When the third Cuban arrives, New Britain will have a team equal to anything in the league. Manager Paige expects to. win both games from Hartford on Saturday.
