 home in Stamford.
 Delehanty and Clymer of the | Washingtons have been set down by
 Ban Johnson for rude language to
 the umpire.
 Young MT Herzog is a bundle of

 to the aid of the New Yorks by trad
 ing players.
 Hobe Ferris of the Browns has hit safely In every one of his last 24

 walloping streak on July g. Waterbury is trying to sign Ma honey of Pittsfield, who pitched for Fordham last spring and is rated as clever twirler and strong sticker as we'll.
 Bill Thompson, the crack pitcher | and outfielder of the Elks' team will | join the Holyoke team to-day to help | out until Dolan, who was injured, has | recovered.
 Captain William Abstein of the Providence baseball team has been | sold to Pittsburg of the National league and will join that team at the end of the Eastern league season.
 No games were played in the Con- necticut league yesterday because of the downpour of rain. This will give Waterbury a two days rest, as the game scheduled for to-day has al- ready been played.
 Jake Weimer was sold to New York, but wants a piece of the pur- chase money and hasn't reported. Should think a player would be will ing to give a bonus to get from Cincinnati to New York.

 Bill Hogg would have had a hit n Cleveland the other day if Sween- y had been more wide awake and .one to second when Bill dropped Ny between Bradley, Joss and | ilnchman. One hit would fatten up I 3ills batting average to vast pro- f portions.
