THE ELKs LEAGUE.
Waterbury Has About Cinched the Pennant Without a Defeat.

Meriden came to Waterbury yes. terday with well strengtneneoi team, with the avowed intention or breaking the string of luck that mas attended the Waterbury Elks team since the opening of the season. They did put up the best game against the locals of any Of the teams so far In fact in the nrst inning they went out red not to win and soon had pounded Jlm O'Connell for enough hits to score two runs. Then it was discovered how game a fellow Jim OConneli was. Worried over the illness or a wife and child at home, he still kept his word to be on hand to twirl for the Elks. When Captain Connor learned of what was troubling the young pitcher, he kindly. asked him to retire from the game, go to his home and let his brother Elks win the battle for him just the same Reluctantly Jim consented for ms heart was in the game, although hls thoughts were in other directions. It was just as we'll, too,. that he did retire for before he could get off nls uniform word came to him to hur- ry home When those on the grand stand heard of the case, Assessor Martin McEvoy at once profered the use of his automobile to take O'Con- nell to his home. There he found both were very i'll, but the chances for recovery were much brighter to- day.
 The local Elks then went in to win with a will and before many innings had gone by they had sewed the game up as they have all their contests in the early stages. It was hit and run in every inning. Bill Thompson took O'Connell's place on the firing line and Bill was all to the mustard George Mulligan dis tinguished himself by rapping the ball over under the score board and making the circuit of the bases be- fore it was returned. Everybody hit the ball, although several times the ball dropped into the fielders hands. All fielded their positions in great style, too, and the few misplays were not disastrous In fact the spectators said that the team was good enough to stack up against the best of them. The score:

BURNS NEVER WORRIES.
Washington Americans Pitcher a Sleeps During Halves.

If ball players became as much ex- cited during close game as do ma jority of the spectators, there would be more ballooning indulged in on the diamond. Some players are more phlegmatic than others, but the game has never produced more cold blooded individual than Big Bill Burns. the young California pitching wonder on Joe Cantillon's stan.
 Even the old battle tried veterans of the diamond, men like Cy Young, get worked up to high pitch when in one of those to battles. but not so with Bill Burns. It is an actual fact that during one of those close games which he pitched in Chicago he fell fast asleep while his team was at the bat in the eighth inning. He had to be aroused from his slum- bers to take up his work on the slab when the side had been retired Nothing excites Bill He does not care whether it is a close or a lobsid- ed score. All he knows is to go on the rubber and pitch his best. He be- lieyes rest essential. and while his team mates are hustling for victory Bill Is taking maps on the bench be- tween halves.
 It is nothing unusual for him to fall asleep in the bus or carriage on the way to the park. and on days he is slated to pitch he fields bunts just before the game to keep him from falling asleep.
 Sleeping is not a disease with Burns. He says he thinks 1t helps him to pitch good ball.
 If Burns can keep up the pace he has set to date he will come out of his first campaign In a major league with a record for effectiveness which fer young pitchers have ever estab- Iished.

UMPIRE DECIDED WRONGLY.
Harry PuIliam Comments on Play in
 waferbury.Hartford Game.

A week ago yesterday play came up in the first game of he double-header between Waterbury and Hartford that has caused con siderable discussion and for a time it looked as though a protest might be entered. Hartford was at bat With 8 man on second base. the bstsman batted a fair ball which hit ,he umpire before going to a nslder. Umpire Wilkinson allowed the sec ond-hsse runner to 90 to third base, and Umpire Rorty declares he should have done the same under similar circumstances. Manager Du- rant of Waterbury oontended that the runner should have been held to second base. a contention upheld in these columns. The play vas re- ferred 10 Harry Pullism. president of the National league. and the fol- lowing letter is self explanatory:

hospitality for the local boys kept them busy between times. They sang the Elks refrain as they were parting from the grounds and gave Waterbury rousing cheer.
 The next game will be on Wed- nesday over in Bristol and every member on the team who can do so is expected to be in uniform. Bristol will have out her best lIne- up and will try hard to put a kink in our winning streak. New Brit ain is going to send over a delegs- tion to root for Bristol. The team will probably leave on the trolley shortly after 1 o'clock.
